Keywords Olympic spirit; Secondary vocational colleges; Students quality
The Olympic spirit embodies the social peace and civilized life style of human beings, and it regards sports as a way to realize the harmonious development of human beings. It is the lofty spirit that combines sports with education, human nature and social and cultural development; It is the most precious spiritual core of the Olympic Movement. The Olympic spirit is not only the motive force of the ancient Olympic movement, but also the historical reason for the revival of the modern Olympic movement. The Olympic spirit is a spiritual pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, which embodies the spiritual goal of self-improvement and eternal progress. The Olympic Charter clearly points out that the Olympic spirit is to promote mutual understanding, friendship and unity among people of different races, countries and beliefs in fair competition, and its essential contents include participation, competition, justice, friendship and struggle. The essence of these spiritual connotations has been fully reflected in the famous motto of Olympic development. In China, secondary vocational schools have to go to physical education class twice a week to receive physical education. In addition to physical education class, after-school sports activities, team training and school sports meeting in the form of simulated Olympic Games can provide Olympic education for students.
First, the essential connotation of the Olympic spirit
1. attitude of mutual understanding. For a long time, the historical background of "Eurocentrism" in the Olympic movement has made it show more European and American values, which has restricted the promotion and popularization of the Olympic movement to the whole world at a certain stage, and is the reason why countries with different religious beliefs and political attitudes go to the Olympic Games. In order to change this situation that is not conducive to the globalization of the Olympic movement, the International Olympic Committee clearly stated in the latest edition of the Olympic Charter that "sports with the spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition should be used to educate young people, thus contributing to the establishment of a peaceful and better world." This is an innovation of the Olympic spirit, pointing out that members of the Olympic family should understand each other and should not give up friendship, unity and peace because of different races, beliefs and political attitudes. It also points out the direction for all mankind to treat each other's relations with mutual understanding.
2. enterprising spirit. The slogan of the Olympic Games is "Higher, Faster and Stronger". This is an appeal of the International Olympic Committee to all people who belong to the Olympic Movement and encourages them to advance in the Olympic spirit. In essence, this motto is to carry forward a lofty sports spirit, set up an endless goal of human progress, and promote the rapid development of sports and even the whole human society with the spirit of continuous progress.
3. The principle of fairness. The principle of fairness is the most basic principle followed by sports and the basic rule respected by the Olympic Movement. It has been clearly stated many times in the Olympic Charter that the Olympic Games require all kinds of competitions to emphasize fair competition. The principle of fair competition has extended to all levels of society and become the basic rule in social law.
4. The principle of harmonious development. Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, once pointed out: "The Olympic movement is not only to enhance muscle strength, but also to enhance intelligence and art." Former IOC President Samaranch also pointed out: "Olympism is a combination of sports and culture." All these reflect the principle that the Olympics pursues the harmonious development of human body and mind, that is, the Olympic movement serves the harmonious development of human beings through sports. It promotes the spiritual value of the Olympic movement and enriches the content of the Olympic spirit. Promoting the harmonious development of people has become an important historical mission of the Olympic Movement, and its basic performance is the close combination of the Olympic Movement and education, which has been repeatedly emphasized from different aspects and levels.
5. Ethical principles. As a global cultural activity, the Olympic movement cannot be carried out without a unified code of conduct. Moreover, the Olympic Charter itself is a comprehensive standard manual, which repeatedly mentions and requires all members of the Olympic family not to violate the relevant basic public ethics and sports ethics. Through the Olympic practice of 100 years, the Olympic has gradually formed an Olympic moral standard system covering code of conduct, moral concept, conscience, obligation and pride. Under the "educational role of good examples" of Olympic winners, teenagers all over the world have received the education of moral norms, and respecting the basic principles of public morality has become one of the basic qualities of the people of the whole society.
Second, the influence of Olympic spirit on the quality of secondary vocational school students.
1. Spiritual quality. The important content of the Olympic spirit "unity, friendship, peace and progress" is actually the concrete embodiment of Olympism. Its influence is as follows: First, strengthen the concept of collectivism. Nowadays, many students are only children, spoiled from childhood, with strong self-awareness and lack of awareness of caring for others and the collective. The spirit of "understanding, friendship and unity" contained in the Olympic Movement can help young people to resolve "egoism" and gradually establish the concept of collectivism. Sports, whether team events or individual events, must rely on the collective strength to achieve good results. Without everyone's support and dedication, no individual can stand on the highest podium of the Olympic Games. At the same time, athletes can learn from each other in the process of competing with their opponents, learn from each other's strong points and deepen mutual understanding and friendship. The Olympic movement mainly relies on people to abide by the rules, learn skills, exchange feelings, explore life and achieve the goal of unity. Without unity, collectivism and common pursuit of values, the Olympic movement would not have come into being, nor would it have today's glory. Behind the fierce competition in the Olympic Games, what emerges is the sacred glory of human reason and the eternal pursuit of common values. Students in secondary vocational schools can cultivate their team spirit and collectivism spirit by participating in and watching various sports activities and competitions; Second, enhance the spirit of hard work and enterprising. Now most secondary vocational school students are growing up in happiness. They lack the training of life, don't know what creation is, and don't know the hardships of creation. When they encounter some difficulties or setbacks on the road of life, they often have discouraged thoughts. How much sweat, tears and even blood do Olympic medal winners have to pay behind the honor? Teenagers have great plasticity and imitative power. Olympism has grasped this characteristic and set a "good example" as an important educational way, trying to provide young people with Olympic athletes-these real living heroes, so that they can imitate and learn. Grasping this educational function of the Olympic Games, we can tap the successful background and difficult course of athletes, so as to inspire young people's lofty aspirations and guide them to be down-to-earth and brave.
2. The ideal aspect of life. It is undoubtedly very urgent and necessary to vigorously promote the Olympic ideal in view of the decadent ideas of students in secondary vocational schools who are content with the status quo and do not make progress. Similarly, if a society loses this idealistic spirit, it will lose the motivation to move forward, and then it may retrogress or even collapse. Under the influence of the Olympic spirit, secondary vocational school students will examine the essential connotation of the Olympic spirit from a new angle and accept the influence of the Olympic spirit. The ideal of secondary vocational school students is a budding stage. At this stage, only by seriously accepting the advanced spirit can their values and world outlook change.
