About Games Coaching

The more we prepare - by practicing the details - the more our brains  filter out - so that we are not distracted by - the space framed by  obstacles. Unlike birds - we can’t fly through trees because we can’t  see the space framed by the branches - we see only the branches and so  fly into them. It gets worse - the more we fly into the branches the  more we practice to become better at flying into the branches. Games coaching is about playing games to learn how to use obstacles to frame the space into which we flow.

It is accepted by many experts that both autism and depression can involve an over-focus on the details and the loss of the context - the whole - of what is going on. A sort of context blindness. Games coaching gives everyone a practical - piecemeal - no fuzz - not overthought - experience of seeing what is possible when we let go of the details and freely move in a wider space.

What players and parents think

• We went to the most amazing basketball session in  Hemel at Longdean school. My son is autistic and has ADHD he struggles  to follow instruction and is extremely demand avoidant. This session  took all the barriers away for my son and he had the most amazing time,  his words “I loved it”. Well worth checking out
• A young players - "I like Jon’s sessions because instead of telling us what to do we all just work it out ourselves"
• A parent - "It’s refreshing to see someone run a sports session with a focus on kindness and flexibility instead of adherence to set patterns based on traditional ways of learning. We have always been made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate and my children gain confidence by being part of something that requires teamwork. As an observer, I enjoy seeing the players thinking about not just themselves but the whole team. It’s not about just playing ball, it’s about creative thinking, consideration of others and teamwork"
