During the outdoor training in Beijing, the coach believed that confidence and miracles interacted with each other. In outdoor training in Beijing, when you face difficulties and feel small, confidence represents your readiness to overcome difficulties, thereby increasing the likelihood of overcoming them. If you lack confidence when facing difficulties, then be prepared to be defeated by them. For example, in the "broken bridge" project, team members often encounter such situations: due to their unfamiliarity with standing unsupported at an 8-meter height, a natural fear arises, which affects their belief in overcoming this difficulty. Standing on a short plank 8 meters above the ground requires you to bravely leap across a distance of about 1 meter. At this moment, if you have confidence, you will cross it without hesitation and conquer this hardship. However, if you lack self-confidence, the longer you hesitate, the smaller the chances of overcoming the difficulty become, thus leaving yourself with regret.
In our daily lives and work, confidence is especially valuable. We must have confidence in life and in our work. Without confidence, we will encounter many setbacks and failures. According to psychologists' research, why has Chinese football consistently performed poorly over a long period? Is it related to technique? Is it related to physical fitness? Or is it related to the coach's tactical arrangements? In fact, all three factors are interconnected, but the real reason lies in the athletes' lack of confidence in winning matches. If the players lack a strong belief in victory during the game, the chances of winning will be very slim. In conversations between athletes and psychologists, the athletes expressed that they felt pressure when taking penalty kicks. Under this pressure, they always thought, "What if I miss this shot?" On the other hand, British footballers, faced with the same pressure, stated that when taking penalty kicks, they always believed the goal was large and the distance was so close that they would definitely score. The results of these two phenomena are obvious: Chinese footballers often fail to score, while British footballers easily send the ball into the net.
The concept that confidence determines success or failure has also occurred in ancient times. During the Song Dynasty, Li Wei led a small contingent of troops to guard the frontier. When they encountered a vastly superior enemy force, his soldiers were all afraid and even thought they would surely lose, leading to a loss of morale. Li Wei, seeing this situation, said to his soldiers, "When we go to the battlefield, let heaven decide our fate. I have five coins here. Soon, I will throw them on the ground. If all five coins land heads up, heaven will tell us that we will surely win this battle. If even one coin does not land heads up, we will retreat and give up the territory." As he spoke, he tossed the five coins into the air. No one dared to look at the result, but someone shouted, "Look! All five coins are heads up!" Everyone became excited, shouting that they would surely win, and charged toward the enemy, achieving victory. After the victory, when Li Wei discussed the battle's success with his subordinates, he took out the five coins used at that time. Everyone looked and realized that both sides of the five coins were the same—both were heads.
