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 avoid limiting performance to simply trying harder to execute the parts, we should set aside time to train 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.

We navigate our world in two distinct ways...
Firstly, we make sense of our surroundings by piecing together what we know and filling in the gaps to complete a jigsaw of understanding, ensuring that everything is in its rightful place. We have control of the certainty we need. We use jigsaws of understanding for passing exams, mastering technical skills, and achieving perfect organization.
