Paying attention to the cohesive whole.
Whenever players and coaches are asked about how they won a close game, they nearly always say how they connected as a cohesive whole. Yet, little attention is given to training the ability to sustain a cohesive whole.

To recall the childlike joy of connecting as a whole without an algorithm directing us. Connect to experience something greater than the sum of the parts. To embody Gestalt. Experience what is beautiful, true, and good. To embody the full human experience.

We build an awareness of the whole from seeing the connections between all parts. We shape this whole, so new opportunities emerge as current ones dwindle. Two of the most effective activities for training this are basketball and swimming.

Sports have historically been at the center of a cultural clash between individualistic, maverick, frills players who resist control and those who adhere to efficient, attritional, system-based, functional styles. With a growing emphasis on player welfare and the desire to generate more "Wow" moments for social media, many sports are adjusting their rules to diminish the success of attritional functional approaches. A new playing style is emerging, where players time their movement in relation to each other to open and close space. This approach not only lowers the risk of severe injuries and minimizes the likelihood of fouling…
