Persistence

Climbing

Extend your limits

I like climbing because is about persistence. You will fail many times. But here comes another invisible force that telling you “try again and again”. Because the feeling when you reaching the top despite all your daemons is incredible.

Responsibility

Beach Volley

Sports & Team Work

Beach volleyball will teach responsibility. Playing doubles means that it’s just you and your partner, so you’ll be forced to touch the ball almost every time it crosses onto your side of the court, so there’s no hiding in the corner. The outcome of the game is entirely dependent on how you play—win or lose.

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much. - Helen Keller
