Dragon boating is more than about team building. Recently, I learnt new thing about this sport. I learnt to appreciate the meaning of a wise sentence, that says " The biggest enemy is ourselves".
As we are preparing for our dragon boat competition, we started to hold a mock race between teams at our training place. I realized that when we were racing with another strong team and we saw that the other team is pacing faster than ask. We started to lose mentally and lay back in our effort. Meanwhile when we focus in our effort, there is a bigger chance for us to catch up with the race and reduce the differences.
It is really about fighting the mind and persevere to the end of the racing line. It is not about winning the opponent but it is about keeping the composure and persevere mentally
