The player development program for space and timing

Coaches have been peer-reviewed to have the space and timing skills to coach space and timing skills. They peer review players - by getting a sense of how many moving things a play can hold in their mental picture. And how long they remain open-minded as to which option they execute. A player with poor space and timing skills sees only one player in front of them. And think they have only one option that they must execute. A player with the highest level of space and timing skills - can hold a mental picture of where all players are on the court or pitch. And remains open-minded as to which of the rippling flow of options to execute - till the moment they execute one.

Build participation and performance in sports and physical activity

The conventional sports coaching approach often focuses on pointing out shortcomings. However, by utilizing sports to teach the skills needed to create "Wow" moments, athletes can adapt traditional technical skills to match their individual talents and physical abilities. This method allows everyone to discover ways to enhance their performance, leaving them wondering why they hadn't tried it sooner.

Competition becomes a platform for celebrating performance. For sportsmanship. For enjoyment. For connection. For fun.

Grow audiences in sport

Beyond close circles like friends and family, viewers are not very keen on watching coaches pick players who simply follow instructions and execute a standard game plan flawlessly. To attract more viewers, we emphasize, capture, and share moments where players showcase something that leaves the audience amazed, making them question why they haven't seen it earlier – a real wow moment. This kind of excitement is what draws in wider audiences, and it's often what players want to deliver.

Break free from an addiction to certainty

When we feel anxious, it's often because we're unsure about the next steps and seek the comfort of a definite path. If we criticize ourselves for not achieving certainty, we might be clinging to the need for it. However, in a constantly evolving world, this reliance on certainty might not be beneficial. Shrinking our world to seek reassurance of certainty might seem comforting. However, isolating ourselves is not a fulfilling way to exist. Embracing the certainty that new experiences can bring might lead us to discoveries we previously overlooked. By acknowledging that these "wow" moments can guide us to positive outcomes, we can shift our focus from seeking certainty to creating memorable experiences.

We use sports to provide the experiences needed to shift cognitive skills for flawless execution of what we know to cognitive skills for crafting Wow moments

Players tailor standard technical skills to align with their unique talents, circumstances, and physical capabilities.

As players transition their cognitive skills they initiate actions without knowing the exact outcome, as teammates will synchronize their actions to craft something new, that leaves us wondering why we hadn't experienced it before. We share Wow moments. While the outcome of these Wow moments is uncertain, it is certain they lead us all to a good place.

4 reasons in life and sports to shift cognitive skills to crafting Wow moments

Crafting Wow moments involves breaking away from our usual routines to achieve set outcomes and embracing a serene sense of togetherness, equilibrium, tranquility, and awareness of our surroundings, to select a micro routine to execute. We take a moment to reflect on how this changed what is going on around us, then select and execute another micro routine, repeating this until we experience or witness something new, that leaves us wondering why we hadn't experienced it before. A Wow moment.

Building audiences and participation in sports

In the past decade, governing bodies have increasingly focused on enhancing standards. However, only those deeply involved are motivated by watching and trying to flawlessly execute standards.

When competition is about flawlessly executing a standard game plan we tend to get fierce coaches who only select atheletes who do as they are told. It creates a toxic environment.

As the former American national champion Jennifer Sey told Athlete A, the Netflix documentary on the Nassar scandal: “Emotional and physical abuse was actually the norm, and we were all so beaten down by that and made so obedient that when we knew there was a sexual abuser in our midst, we would never say anything.”

To attract more members and audiences governing bodies are introducing new rules and formats that introduce the element most wanted by audiences and players - Wow moments.

Athletes, coaches, and referees are are changing the cognitive foundations of a sport from those required to flawlessly execute standards to the skills to craft wow moments. Competition has become a platform for celebrating performance. For sportsmanship. For enjoyment. For fun.

Employment beyond AI

Leading organizations understand that future success depends on more than using AI to deliver certainty of outcome. They recognize the importance of people who possess the ability to craft new experiences that leave us wondering why we hadn't experienced them before. A Wow moment. While these Wow moments may be unpredictable, employers can be confident they will guide their organization toward success beyond AI and automated processes. Regrettably, many employees still need to correct deviations from established procedures, hindering their capacity to develop the cognitive skills needed to craft Wow moments. A similar challenge is observed in the education sector, where the emphasis on achieving high exam grades results in teachers and students spending a significant amount of time viewing deviations from expected outcomes as mistakes to be rectified. This approach prevents educators and students from developing the cognitive ability to craft Wow moments. Our objective is to assist employees and students in acquiring the cognitive skills necessary to craft Wow moments. We support employers in recruiting individuals with these capabilities.

Addiction to certainty

When we overly rely on our cognitive abilities to execute tasks flawlessly and we lack a clear plan to achieve a specific outcome, we often retreat and isolate ourselves. Moreover, when we question our capability to follow through with a plan, we may experience panic attacks and self-loathing for not meeting our own standards. This self-doubt can lead to isolation as we reject any assistance that doesn't guarantee a specific result. Our fixation on certainty becomes a form of addiction.

Experience inclusion as an opportunity to craft Wow moments

A need for things to be certain drives us to implement a strategy that guarantees everyone is included. Individuals who do not align with this strategy undermine the certainty of the outcome offered by everyone following the strategy. But, adapting the strategy to meet specific needs can unintentionally exclude those who currently benefit from it. It is not possible to have a strategy that gives everyone a certainty of fair inclusion. By focusing on crafting Wow moments, more diversity offers more opportunities for experiencing new things, prompting us to wonder why we hadn't explored them earlier. Embracing diversity opens up more chances for Wow moments. Wow moments can only lead us to good places. Our objective is to shift the idea of inclusion away from fair access to the same things towards differences giving everyone access to more wow moments. While the outcome of these wow moments is uncertain, it is certain they will lead us to good places.

In life and sports, the focus is moving from delivering certainty of outcome to the crafting of Wow moments.

As Artificial Intelligence does more of our routine tasks we think it's a good idea to shift our focus away from relying solely on our cognitive skills for performing routine tasks to developing the cognitive abilities to craft Wow moments.

In times of uncertainty, it's futile to pretend we can predict outcomes with certainty. However, we can trust in our skill to craft Wow moments, as we can be certain they will lead us to brighter destinations that are currently beyond our view.
