Through coaching, I understand the original "Outward Bound" is a test of will and wisdom, and tap potential and teamwork spirit of the campaign, but its not completely belong to the scope of sports. Because of time constraints, we participated in the project, not many, but it is these small projects, let me come to understand the importance of teamwork. The event, under the arrangement of the coaches being carried out in good order, and each item in the design and arrangement are very creative, especially after the end of each project experience and the experience of all the coaches comments, sum up, and people emotionally, popular inspired. Most of the three projects is the project team, including the Broken Bridge is a project of self-challenge. Experienced in the challenges and stimulation, I was left to more reflection. Broken Bridge, the challenge of personal self-item can be "terrifying" four words to sum up. Project design and organization is very simple, just two disconnect between the wooden planks to do a simple jump back and forth, but it was shelved two wooden planks in the eight, nine-metre high tree. On the ground looking at the rise of the distance between the two wooden boards, I feel very close distance, it seems that can be lightly leaped past. When their chatter Chanweiwei climbed to 8, 9-metre-high scaffold, narrow wooden planks come to the end of Looking at the opposite one another narrow wooden planks, I immediately silly. On the night so far? I wonder what their own, I can jump past? So in the narrow wooden planks, I will rise? Partial will jump? At this moment, the opposite is so far little wooden boards, I could not help but begging for the old coach, "do not jump?" The coach says it is the answer: "No!" He then used the relaxed tone said "Do you think so many Hom life are gone, this is a simple jump Suandeile? think yesterday's" dark, eyes closed "game until the final才被that you are" murderers " , reflecting the quality of your psychological well ah, jump! you must visit. "After listening to coach remarks, I relax a little, but fear still haunting the normal operation of the board to continue the stalemate. Almost 20 minutes later, no way, the coach said, "If we do not jump, I will push you!" I know that the posterior can be no retreat, so will Xinyiguang, Zongshen jumped results secured fallen on the The opposite appears to narrow board, a look back, not far ah, only one meter just…… "Air a small step, a big step in life", in fact, we will be in life often face such challenges, knowledge and skills is only tangible capital, is the will and spirit of the invisible forces. The activities of deep indeed, I think the most important thing is for our future work, study and life to inspire and guide. This is a valuable asset.
