Discipline skills

Abstract

Discipline Skills is a term first used when drawing up the programme for the 1977 Rolls‐Royce/Endeavour Training residential courses for apprentices at Kelston Park, Bath. It came from an attempt to coin a short, crisp and more accurate title for the sporting activities we were using to demonstrate the place and value of discipline when learning new skills. Prior to this, simply naming the skills sessions as archery, canoeing, caving and climbing had evoked only ‘leisure pastime’ connections in many peoples' minds, however hard one tried to explain the value of their challenge and inherent discipline.
