Preparing Participants for Struggle on Ropes Course

Description

Episode 140: The aerial challenge course experience is different for every participant. It can push people out of their comfort zone. When and if that happens, as facilitators, how do we adequately prepare our participants for struggle and frustration on the high ropes course? It’s a challenge course, not a success course, after all.
