Two and a half years later, these three children won the Winter Special Olympics champion, and some even became speed skating teaching assistants!
The person who changed their fate is Jason, a former world champion and now the closest "coach mother" of 26 disabled children.
On May 12, Jason (middle) was coaching the team members. ?
The world champion returned to China to teach three Special Olympics champions.
20 15 16 As a public welfare coach in qitaihe city Special Education School, Jason was almost at a loss in the first class on ice.
/kloc-On the ice rink of 0/800 square meters, 26 disabled children were lying, lying, kneeling or standing still, crying ... Jason stood alone in the middle, not knowing who to take care of.
Previously, Jason spent three months teaching these children to fasten their skates. At this moment, standing on the ice rink, she told herself to pay more love and patience. She picked up the children one by one, hugged them one by one and comforted them one by one.
In 1990s, Jason won the women's 3000m relay in two consecutive World Winter Games and broke the world record in the short track speed skating World Championships. After retiring due to injury, she and her husband Dong Yanhai went to Japan to study and live. For more than ten years, although life has been very comfortable, she has never forgotten her motherland and snow.
Every two or three days, her teacher will appear in the dream: "Jason, it's time to get up on the ice!" " "Jason, pay attention to start, swing your arms and look forward!"
She discussed with her husband: "Go back to China. If you don't serve your hometown, you will live in vain. "
In May 20 14, the couple returned to their hometown of Qitaihe. Dong Yanhai was appointed as the head coach of the children's short track speed skating school, and Jason plunged into the special education school. Using the sports rehabilitation skills learned for many years, 26 students were selected from 140 students to set up a short track speed skating team, and they did not take a penny as public welfare coaches.
In this special team, there are 4 people with Down syndrome, autism 1 person, mental disorder, behavioral disorder, mental retardation 16 people, and hearing impairment.
On May 12, Jason (middle) encouraged the players in training.
"Jog three times", the simplest sentence, is incomprehensible to many children. Jason said, "Slow down, run, slow down, run …" Some simple actions have to be repeated countless times. It's normal to teach an action for three months. Some children suddenly fainted, so they must be given first aid immediately. ...
After a training class, Jason is often too tired to stand and speak. However, she never gave up.
Gradually, Jason explored a unique tutorial. When the child doesn't understand the terminology, she draws the training chart by hand, demonstrates it over and over again, and runs after her. In order to improve children's self-confidence, she made great efforts to coordinate all parties and created many new training forms, which were "integrated training" with normal children. When the skating rink is closed in summer, practice skating with wheels. ...
At the end of last year, Jason was giving a demonstration on the ice when suddenly a child slipped by and knocked her down. Jason hurt his waist and lay down for more than twenty days. At the age of 45, she is no longer young. In addition, she has not recovered from her old injury, insisted on training, and collapsed on the sofa as soon as she got home.
Even so, as soon as he arrived at the skating rink, Jason was like "resurrecting with blood" and restored his quick-talking and fast-paced style. She said: "The children are in the best window of recovery. I dare not delay for a second. Children can't afford to waste their time. "
Month after month, Meng Meng Da, who could only walk on tiptoe, began to skate freely, and Han Baobei, who could only skate on one foot, finally left a roller skate ... Little by little, Jason was overjoyed. Originally, skating was for rehabilitation, but I didn't expect my competitive performance to improve quickly. After selection, 16-year-old Da, 15-year-old Xiao Doubao and 18-year-old Datang represented China in the 1 1 World Winter Special Olympics. When training in Sichuan, new problems appeared again. The children are afraid of the competition and refuse to skate. At the sound of the starting gun, Datang, who is 0 1.75 meters tall, fell. Jason simulated the game scene and repeated training with the real starting gun and English password.
She wears many hats: skating coach, skating master, psychological counselor, equipment repairman, team doctor ... In the evening, she also washes Meng Mengda's hair and patiently gives psychological counseling. For more than 40 days, she only slept for two or three hours every night.
On March 2 this year, Kloc-0/,the short track speed skating in Graz, Austria11m final.
"Steady! Steady! Steady! A little more steady! A little more steady! Rush the line! " Jason's voice is almost hoarse Meng Mengda won the first gold medal for China with a score of 20 seconds 982, and Zhang Jiexi on the sidelines was in tears.
"Datang" started to chase the fourth place, took the lead in crossing the finish line, raised his arms and gave Jason a big hug.
"Little Bean Bag" won the women's 333m gold medal as expected.
These three children are crazy about four gold and two silver!
Coach-Coach Mom-Mom-Mom
Jason's family treasures hundreds of paintings given to her by her children. This is a "love letter" from 26 children, with only one theme: "I love coach mom." Of course, there are many typos in the painting.
Training at school in the first half of the year. My parents don't know who she is, and they didn't watch the children train. It is ridiculous to teach disabled children to skate. But Zhang Jie has a persistent heart.
20 15 65438+ 10/2, the first training diary was sent out in Jason's personal cyberspace. After nearly a thousand days and nights, 1600 training notes recorded every subtle change of the children, which condensed her little love.
Love is the best secret of recovery. Jason treats every child like his own.
"Dabao hugs one, good boy!" Jason repeats dozens of hugs in every training session. Every child has a nickname, Meng Mengda, Datang, Xiaodoubao, Xiao Yi and Han Baobei ... In this special big family, love is everywhere.
Zhang Jie has a childlike innocence. He always dresses up before training. Sometimes he plays a white rabbit, and sometimes he plays a giant panda. His face is always full of smiles to attract the children's attention. She also brought some small gifts, sometimes a small cup and sometimes a little panda, so that the children can be trained in small surprises again and again.
Autistic children "Primary One" like cars best. Every year on Autism Day, Jason brings a car model as a special gift to him. Jason will give every child a thumbs-up and send enthusiastic encouragement: "Who is the best, the first one is the best!" " Gradually, Xiao Yi took the initiative to hug Jason.
Love has slowly melted the hearts of children. On April 20 15, Dabao, a child with Down syndrome, took the lead in shouting, "Coach, mom, you are so beautiful!" Later, other children followed suit, and this title was accompanied by Jason's training every day.
Through careful home visits again and again, Jason learned about each child's family and mastered each child's personality, hobbies and even painting style. She has made a special communication, training and help plan for each child.
On May 12, Jason (second from right) led the team to train.
The whole family of "Little Bean Bag" with third-degree mental retardation is poor: grandma has Alzheimer's disease, uncle is mentally ill, dad has sequelae of cerebral infarction, and the skinny mother Mou Juan works alone to support the whole family. Seeing that "Little Bean Bag" is getting better day by day, Mou Juan can't stop crying: "Coach and mom often buy this and that, and help us rent a house. The change of children has made the broken home see new hope. "
In an accidental car accident, "Datang" lost his mother and his father was seriously injured, so he could not do heavy work. Sometimes he can't eat at home. Jason always comes home with meat and milk and leaves some money when he leaves. Datang said: "Coach's mother takes care of me and my family, just like her mother."
Today, "Meng Meng Da" simplifies the title to one word: "Mom!" She said, "I have two mothers, one is this mother and the other is that mother." First he pointed to Jason, and then he pointed to his birth mother.
Jason's eyes filled with tears, and he grabbed the smiling face in one hand.
"Everything has cracks, that's where the light comes in."
On the day he came back from Austria, Jason looked at the gold medals on his three children's chests, happier than when he won them. In the mind of "coach mother", it is more important for children to recover and integrate into normal society than to win the championship.
When Meng Mengda came home, the first thing he did was to wake up his sleeping grandmother and hang a gold medal for her. She said, "As soon as I win the gold medal, my grandmother will be fine."
"Meng Meng da only immersed in her own world. Later, she would say that Datang skating didn't fall down today. Well, she'll say, "Look at my clothes for me ..." Jason thinks it's simple for ordinary people, but it means that Meng Meng Da begins to become a healthy person and integrate into society to care for others.
Wei Jun, Meng Mengda's mother, was once desperate, but now she smiles. She said, "MengMeng started to twitch when he was nine years old. When she convulses, some brain cells will die. I am desperate. I just want to spend one more day with her. Now my daughter can not only recite the multiplication formula within 7, but also plan to learn to cook and take care of me. I am really happy. "
The "Datang" with mental retardation level 4 is becoming more and more calm: "I want to be a teaching assistant in the future and take care of others like a coach and mother." He is realizing his dream. After the game, he began to work as a skating assistant.
On May 12, Jason (first from left) was discussing the paintings of team member Dai (first from right).
"Little Bean Bag" has received an invitation from her alma mater who advised her to quit school, and will return to school to give a report in a few days. She said fluently, "I want to pass on my love!" " "Xiao Doubao, who used to cry every day, also wants to learn from his coach and mother." My coach mother takes care of me. I'm better now than before. I want to teach others to skate in the future. "
Although Jason has studied the theory of sports rehabilitation, he still can't tell the mechanism of children's rehabilitation. Her demonstration attracted more disabled children to join qitaihe city Special Education School, which increased the number of students by a quarter.
According to President Bai, Jason seems to be possessed. He didn't get any money, but he drove his car to pick up the children. Jason donated money to the children, bought training equipment and daily necessities, and paid more than 30 thousand yuan himself. It was not until one and a half years after the class started that the school gave her a training subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month.
Jason infected people around him, and a group of people did a good thing together. Dong Yanhai has been very busy training with 300 trainees alone, but as long as he has a little free time, he will help Jason train and gradually become an extra volunteer coach.
Song Jinwei, the school network administrator, is the research teacher; Jason university students spontaneously organized the "angel wings" fund; Some enterprises provide skates for free, some enterprises provide sportswear for free, and some enterprises donate shuttle buses; The Qitaihe government also solved the public rental housing for the champion. ...
Skating opened a door for these children to know the world, from which they saw their potential. While continuing training, Jason is going to build a skill training base. She said: "When I get old or leave, my greatest wish is that they can live independently. That would be the best gift. "
Jason likes to quote a famous saying: "Everything has cracks, that's where the light comes in."
