5 Essential Ideas in a Rondo by Camilo Speranza (Patreon)

1. Relationship Distances

Where am I moving to? How is the environment being modified? What can we do together in this new context that has formed?

There is no "correct" place where a player should be located in each episode of the game. There are only contexts and possibilities. Perhaps we could say that there are more suitable places than others depending on the situation and the interaction possibilities of each player. MULTIPLE PLACES.

2. Body Orientation

It is possible to be in a suitable place, but with an undesirable profile. The profile gives and takes away possibilities for interaction.

That's why it's so decisive. Like everything.

3. Giving Meaning to the Pass

To which foot should we pass the ball? How much force should we use? What does the teammate receiving the pass need? What possibilities open up and close for the teammate receiving the pass?

The pass is a message. We want to provoke things in our opponents. But we also adapt the pass to the context and the possibilities of our teammate.

This is nothing more than empathy.

4. Identifying Opponents' Trajectories

It's not just about passing the ball around without caring about the context. Nor is it about passing to get rid of a problem (and give it to someone else).

You have to interact. You have to observe. You have to interpret.

5. Recognizing Ourselves in the Game

"Feeling what our teammate feels. We can all do it, we want to do it, and we know how to do it, no matter who's in front of us." - Paco Seirul.lo

That's why they are relationship distances.

We're talking about socio-affectivity!
