Talk about the impact of the London Olympics slogan "Inspiring a Generation" on current physical education?

Educating and encouraging the younger generation has always been a global issue and problem. On the occasion of the 100-day countdown to the 2012 London Olympics, the London Olympic Organizing Committee released the slogan of the London Olympics: "Inspiring a Generation". Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, said: This is the spirit that London has been pursuing since its bid for the Olympic Games, and it is the DNA of the London Olympic Games.

I have never doubted that British society attaches great importance to youth education. On the contrary, their respect and tolerance for individual teenagers is something I could not have imagined before going abroad. But this is a seemingly loose society, with no street offices or neighborhood committees. A law-abiding citizen will have almost no sense of the government's presence other than an annual tax bill. There are no unified teaching materials for primary and secondary schools, and the most binding force on the principal’s power is the school board with parent participation, not the education bureau. Precisely because of the lack of administrative participation, how will the slogan "Inspiring a Generation" be reflected and implemented? After the slogan was announced, a large number of skeptical comments on the Internet made me even more suspicious.

While I was thinking about it, my 14-year-old daughter’s middle school organized a camping outing and I volunteered to participate. My daughter is hesitant to sign up. I went to ask for details and learned that this was originally an adult activity, but starting this year, teenagers over the age of 14 are allowed to participate. I asked casually, ah, is it because of the Olympics? The teacher who answered the phone said, maybe. The teacher also told me that the organizer of this activity together with the school is a government-funded sports organization, and professionals will come to the school to conduct wilderness survival training. It sounded good, so with my strong encouragement, my daughter signed up. This camping rampage just ended last weekend. My daughter and her teammates*** received 10 training sessions and participated in 4 events. The girls all admitted that although it was very tiring, they experienced the joy of participation, cooperation and exercise. It was very worthwhile and they will definitely participate in the future.

This is a small example from the UK that is related to sports and embodies motivation. After careful calculation, not counting organizational funds, the actual cost of camping equipment paid by the government for each student is approximately 100 pounds (1,000 yuan) per person. You get it if you participate, and you get it if you don't participate. After use, return it to the school for safekeeping. Will use it next year. Is this kind of activity based on communities, grassroots schools, and open to all children more real than slogans? This can be considered a British-style, real, unobtrusive, unshowy, and unforced incentive.

Spend less, do more, leave a legacy and inspire a generation, this is the British slogan. How to achieve it? Don’t focus on pomp and creativity. And this kind of creativity started when we applied for the Olympic Games. Looking at the 2005 promotional video for London's Olympic bid, people's eyes followed a girl running through the streets of London, sweeping over the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and the Thames River. However, what most attracts the world's attention is the down-to-earth, humorous and sports-loving side of the British people in the film. The Olympic bid promotional video, full of British humor, not exaggerated or pretentious, has become London's first creative highlight in its march towards the Olympics. At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, "London 8 Minutes" once again allowed the world to experience British creativity.

When people turned more expectant eyes to the "London Bowl" on the evening of July 27, 2012, the head of the opening ceremony won the Oscar for directing "Slumdog Millionaire" Danny Boyle, who won the Director Award, took the initiative to disclose many details, and his keywords include "country style", "tempest" and "007". Another creative soul behind the opening ceremony is Stephen Daldry, the famous British director who directed "The Reader" and "The Hours." Like many British people, Dudley had a different affection for Shakespeare's plays. He chose Shakespeare's classic work "The Tempest" as the theme for the opening and closing ceremonies.

These disclosed details satisfied some of people’s curiosity about the opening ceremony. As for the opening ceremony, which has been rehearsed 157 times, we can only know what kind of appearance it will look like when the veil is unveiled on July 27.

However, no matter what changes occur, it is not surprising, because the British "do not compete with pomp and creativity.
