GR26 - PSLLC - Will – Will and Victory

The activity took place at the school lab during after-school hours and focused on the Olympic value of will and perseverance. The action was structured into five parts:

Part1: Students were introduced to the concept of willpower in sports and discussed how Olympic athletes often face failure, injury, criticism, or personal difficulties before achieving success. A short introductory discussion encouraged students to share their initial thoughts on whether talent or mental strength is more important in achieving goals.

Part2: Students were divided into small groups and each group was assigned an Olympic athlete known for overcoming significant challenges. Students were asked to research the athlete’s background, major obstacles, moments of failure, and eventual comeback or achievement. They used credible sources such as official Olympic websites, interviews, documentaries, and sports articles.

Part3: Each group prepared and delivered a short presentation of their findings to the rest of the class. Students highlighted the role of perseverance, resilience, and determination in the athlete’s journey. This was followed by a guided discussion where students compared different stories and reflected on similarities and differences.

Part4: Students were encouraged to connect the athletes’ experiences with their own lives, discussing how willpower can help overcome academic, social, or personal challenges. The activity concluded with a reflection on how perseverance contributes to long-term success beyond sports.

Part5: Students were asked to write on paper (with colorful paints) 5 goals for their life.
