Dr. Hanasaki and her colleagues discussed that ego-resiliency functions as a psychological resource that enables students to choose adaptive coping strategies. In the context of physical education—where failure is public and immediate—resilient students view stress as a challenge rather than a threat. The paper suggests that PE teachers should focus not just on motor skills but on fostering a "psychologically safe" environment where failure is accepted, thereby helping low-resiliency students develop better coping mechanisms.
