（二）Unique，Naihe niche
“He Football、Basketball、Volleyball is a different kind of sport that everyone is familiar with，Our outdoor outreach is a unique sport，Also a niche project。" Zhang Shumin proudly introduced。
In the classroom, teachers and students call this sport outdoor development，But in fact, his upper concept is outdoor sports，Use the natural environment as a sports venue，Experience returning to nature、The feeling of returning to nature，Participants are in real nature，They can be urban outdoors or remote suburbs，Meet the physical challenge here，Overcome every difficulty，You can also learn how to appreciate it、Pay attention to and care for nature。
“What makes it different from other sports is，Outdoor development is closely related to our lives，It’s more than just a physical training，It also exercised the personality and psychology of the participants，Can stimulate people’s potential，Integration of competition and cooperation。”This is also what attracts Zhang Shumin most about this expansion movement。
Although the current acceptance of this sport in colleges and universities is generally good，Many colleges and universities offer outdoor development courses，The response among students is generally very good，There are often outdoor development-related events among colleges and universities。But outside of colleges and universities，Outdoor expansion is not yet well known to the public，A relatively niche project，People rarely take time to connect with nature in their busy life and work、Experience the fun of this sport with your companions，But outdoor expansion can be very beneficial to physical and mental health，Zhang Shumin also hopes to challenge himself、Sports in contact with nature can be loved by more people。
（三）Proactive and enterprising、Unity and cooperation
Zhang Shumin said，For college students，Outdoor development brings a proactive, enterprising, united and cooperative attitude towards life。Outdoor development is different from ball sports that require reliance on other sports facilities，It uses the outdoor environment as the carrier，But it does not focus on sports skills，The fun and satisfaction in the process enable participants to feel free from constraints，Expand horizons，Let today’s college students see more in contact with nature and sports、Experience more，Understand and enjoy the joys of life。
In addition，Outdoor development can enhance students’ beliefs，Establish a more comprehensive outlook on life。It is often very interesting during the training process，The projects also aim to overcome psychological barriers，Complete the psychological challenge as the goal，When the team actively cooperates in activities，Students experience empathy、Mutual understanding，Enhance teamwork awareness，Inspire the creative thinking of every teammate。
