We make those fleeting moments of uncoachable inspiration - happen more often
Those fleeting moments of uncoachable inspiration are connections that create something greater than the sum of the parts, a phenomenon known as Gestalt.
Players get more Gestalt by putting all attention on the dynamic connections between all parts. Waiting for opportunities to offer previously unseen alternatives as someone’s options begin to dwindle. And if nothing appears, look for something else.
Metrics should be reserved for coaches to set problems for players to solve using their Gestalt. When metrics shift players' focus to parts, decision-making becomes poor: Players overthink the execution of individual parts and lose sight of how all the parts connect. Performance drops below the sum of the parts.

About the event
We use the process of playing to pay attention to the space between things. This gives everyone a window - regardless of their mechanical skills - to share in an open-minded process of connection and flow. A sense of fun, purpose, meaning, magic, and adventure - flows from our actions. We take leaps in performance. Wow moments.
