"What if it was possible, when facing a critical juncture in life - a big job interview, an emotionally charged conversation, even the prospect of parenthood - to plan for every potential variable by rehearsing the situation over and over. From a meticulous recreation of The Alligator Lounge to (small spoiler alert!) packing a 737 full of actors to circumvent aviation laws and investigate the dynamic between pilot and co-pilot in a cockpit, Fielder's formulaic, flowchart-driven approach is intended to leave nothing to chance."
"When you laugh at his jokes, that's no accident. NBA teams do the same thing. Running through set plays in the halfcourt, out of timeouts, on inbounds and in clutch situations, drilling the correct reads to various defensive reactions so that when they're faced with it on the court, making the right decision is second nature. Of course, the Raptors' rehearsal of set plays and end-game situations in practice differs from Fielder's in the details."
A television series stages exhaustive rehearsals of critical life moments by recreating locations and even packing a 737 with actors to test complex interpersonal dynamics using flowchart-driven planning. The method aims to eliminate chance and engineer responses, shaping comedic and behavioral outcomes. Professional basketball teams adopt a similar principle by drilling set plays and situational reads so correct choices become automatic in games. The Toronto Raptors treated a declared rebuilding season as an experimental rehearsal lab, allocating meaningful minutes to promising rookies and testing strategies in live competition, with particular attention on close, late-game decision-making under pressure.
