..."One such example helps teams of cadets focus on the process in a tangible way.
The challenge is called the “helium hoop.” And it puts a team of cadets on a hula hoop, each resting their portion of the single hula hoop on one finger, she said. They’re trying to lower it together. Often the hoop slides all over the place...at least at first.
But, as soon as they start focusing on commands and coordinate their movements together, the hoop starts lowering uniformly, she said.
Those activities and other mental resiliency-building drills help cadets see context and room for lifelong improvement.
