description

"Skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it is now."

Attributed to Wayne Gretzky.

This summarises the OODA loop:

  • Observe where the puck and the players are right now.
  • Extrapolate their most likely movements in space and time.
  • Decide where to go and what to do there, to best change the situation in your favour.
  • Go there and do that.
