Games Coaching - a different way to improve
Competitive games are not won by our ability to control the controllable. They are won by our ability to navigate the uncontrollable - before the uncontrollable gets out of hand.
Game Coaching is a different way to improve because it helps players develop the fluid intelligence to try different ways to get different results when nobody knows what will happen. To improve by getting results from the uncontrollable - we truly don’t know our limits.
Games Coaching lifts players out of the detail - to see the wider context - the bigger picture of what is going on around them - and flow through the space between obstacles to discover different ways to get different results when nobody knows what is going happen. Players learn how to get results from the uncontrollable before the uncontrollable gets out of hand. Players learn how to avoid becoming overly anxious when they can’t execute the details to control the controllable. Players are relaxed, agile, fluid, and flowing in their thinking and movement.
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"
