1On February 26th, 998, Deng Yaping flew to Cambridge with mixed feelings. For her, this is naturally a very rare opportunity, but it is also a difficult start. "The next day is the day of school. There are nine students in the class. The classroom is small. Nine desks and chairs are arranged in a semicircle towards the blackboard. The teacher asked everyone to introduce themselves first.
Next, I gave you two handouts and started the lecture. There is no discipline in the class, and the way of explanation is very casual. When the teacher gave a lecture, the students scrambled to answer questions. Deng Yaping finished her class in the fog cover of Yunshan Mountain. Four or five weeks passed, and I spent fifteen or six hours every day, but the effect was not great, and the improvement of English level was not significant.
Newham College, where Deng Yaping attended, is a small college affiliated to Cambridge University, similar to the domestic language college. The students here are mainly foreign students, and Deng Yaping is the only international student from Chinese mainland. In order to catch up with her homework, Deng Yaping gets up early and only sleeps for a few hours every day.
For the first month or two, I couldn't understand what the teacher said above. She copied everything the teacher wrote on the blackboard. After returning home, Deng Yaping looked at the dictionary and read it again. Everyday life is monotonous, and the class time is four and a half hours. There is still a lot of homework after class, so eating seems very troublesome for her.
Although the foundation is worse than other students, she is always unwilling to surpass others. This competitive mentality gradually began to change: "After all, the foundation is different, from athletes to students is a very big turning point, and there must be a process for learning to rise."
Back in Tsinghua, Deng Yaping's graduation thesis was titled "The History and Development of National Football Team". From the opening report, to the first submission of the paper, and even to the final revision of the paper, Deng Yaping not only reached the standard for each item, but also completed it step by step ahead of schedule. "I finally put on my bachelor hat. At the graduation ceremony, I addressed the teacher in fluent English. "
2. Guo Jingjing's inspirational story
If there is no one, the diving hall of more than 4,000 people is very quiet, and even the whole audience has a rare peace, because compared with the first four rounds of movements, Guo Jingjing on the springboard has become synonymous with "invincible", and Guo Jingjing who stepped onto the springboard in the last round is very calm. After all, she has been splashing water for 17 years.
Before 17, she was only 6 years old and still in kindergarten. At that time, the coach of the sports school came to choose the little players and took a fancy to her at first sight. She thought she was going to learn swimming, so she happily followed the coach. She regretted her last stop in diving pool. She refused to jump at all. She was forced to skip once by the coach. Hey, she was chosen.
1 1 years old, Guo Jingjing once went to Nanjing for training with the team and was attracted by Yu Fen, the coach of the national team at that time. Yu Fen asked her, "Do you want to come to the national team?" She naively replied, "Yes!" She started the glorious road to the championship. At the 1994 national diving championship, after Guo Jingjing won two gold medals in women's 10 meter platform and 3 meter springboard, people exclaimed: China has produced another wizard who is only 13 years old!
The splendid years of 1994 and 1995 made China people's expectations for her rise rapidly, but the Atlanta Olympic Games of 1996 brought her the first major setback in her life. Although she was ahead of all her competitors in the Olympic women's 10 meter platform preliminaries, she ended up in fifth place due to her mistakes in the final.
After that, she changed from double-training on board and platform to specializing in springboard, and the comeback of Fu Mingxia, the "diving queen", often put Guo Jingjing in second place. Before coming to Athens, Guo Jingjing participated in two Olympic Games and only won two silver medals.
No matter what the outside world thinks about Guo Jingjing, the coach of China diving team is very aware of Guo Jingjing's strength. Several coaches who have taught her say that this player has strong take-off, good coordination and high understanding. If it weren't for his lack of "ambition", Fu Mingxia would probably have been defeated by Guo Jingjing when he was in service.
That's true. After years of accumulation, Guo Jingjing retired in Fu Mingxia and quickly consolidated China's dominance in women's springboard. In the 200 1 World Championships, the 2002 World Cup and the 2003 World Championships, the women's three-meter springboard champion who won the highest diving competition every year did not escape her hand.
In the single-person preliminaries, she smashed an action, but once she crossed the sea, she had honed a normal heart. After calmly passing the semi-finals, Guo Jingjing's performance in prescribed movements has risen to the first place. After four rounds of action in the final, Guo Jingjing was almost perfect, leaving her opponent far behind.
In the last jump, Guo Jingjing cut her hair calmly, jumped on the board, somersaulted outward for one and a half weeks and then turned around for two and a half weeks. She completed the action cleanly in the air, and the five-star red flag at the scene immediately waved. Guo Jingjing's smile after coming out of the water overflowed like ripples in a green pond.
3. Dānlín's inspirational story
When Dānlín was a child, his mother always liked to dress him up as a girl. At that time, Dānlín was chubby and had long hair, which almost covered his ears. Sometimes, his two little faces were painted red by his mother, and then he put on the red clothes bought by his mother and captured a little girl. In the early 1980s, the study of electronic piano became popular all over the country.
At that time, Dānlín was in preschool, and all the students in the class were taken by their parents to learn electronic piano, and Dānlín was no exception. Mother bought him a "Casio" electronic organ, which is worth one or two hundred yuan. The price was already high at that time. However, such an expensive electronic organ failed to attract little attention. She sits in front of the electronic piano every day and only fingers.
This can suppress the hyperactive little Dānlín. Just after playing for a while, he wanted to get off the chair and walk around the west. As a result, he only practiced for a week, and then he refused to practice again. Dānlín's father and mother are both sports lovers. My father likes playing table tennis and volleyball, and my mother likes swimming and playing basketball. She often represents Shanghang County in Longyan to participate in competitions.
Mother thought her son didn't want to practice the electronic piano, but had to practice something else. So, when she plays basketball, she takes Dānlín and lets him run and play on the court. At that time, there was amateur badminton training for children in Shanghang County Gymnasium, and many children around Dānlín went there to practice. Once, Dānlín followed them to the gym, and he saw badminton for the first time.
Seeing the children running around, swinging and catching the ball, Dānlín was immediately attracted, as if he had found a sense of taste. That year, Dānlín was five years old. Soon, Dānlín entered the training class. But because it is an amateur class, I actually play more. The children practice basic skills such as holding the racket, swinging and skipping rope together. While the coach was not looking, Dānlín secretly played games with the children.
It was a happy and carefree time. At that time, when he was young, Dānlín showed strong self-esteem and refused to admit defeat. In the training plan at that time, the only thing that frightened Dānlín was leg press. At first, the child's ligament didn't pull open and his leg couldn't be pressed down, so the coach helped him press it. Xiao Lindan cried out in pain and pressed it while crying. After returning home, his mother will continue to press him.
However, no matter how painful it was, my mother never heard him say that she didn't want to practice. On weekends, the training team will run long distances and run around Shanghang County for two laps, at least several kilometers. Dānlín is the youngest on the team. He couldn't get ahead, so he ran with the older players. He must finish the race and never stop halfway.
If you lose the game, Dānlín will start crying before the coach says anything. In the amateur class, Dānlín is the only child who plays with his left hand, so the coach pays special attention to him. Although Dānlín is not the best in his class because of his young age, his physical fitness is outstanding. At that time, his basic movements, footwork and front and back touch lines were among the best in his class.
1992, 9-year-old Dānlín successfully entered Fujian Sports School and came to Fuzhou, 600 kilometers away from Shanghang County. Dānlín spent her first semester in the provincial sports school in tears. That winter, Dānlín entered the provincial sports school. Being always afraid of the cold, he is not used to dormitory life. Since his parents sent him to Fuzhou left, he began to cry almost every day.
Sometimes, even during training, Xiao Lindan cries when he wants to get home. The coach watched it and let him stand and practice after crying. After the training, he returned to the dormitory. He often stays in a daze alone, and unconsciously starts to cry again. Later, Dānlín began to write home, one letter a day. The theme is basically: Mom and Dad, I miss you. Come and see me.
To this day, Dānlín's mother still keeps some of these letters. Fortunately, grandma, grandpa and uncle are all in Fuzhou, which eased Dānlín's homesickness a little. Every weekend, Dānlín will go to grandma's house to eat something delicious, call her mother and go back to the sports school on Sunday. When I first arrived at the provincial sports school, Dānlín, who had never left her parents since childhood, had no ability to take care of herself and didn't know how to change clothes.
I don't know how to make the bed, let alone change the sheets and pillowcases. The whole person is in a mess. In the first week of sports school, he didn't take a bath for a whole week, because he was always homesick and crying in the dormitory. It was not until the end of the first semester that Dānlín's homesickness eased.
After the initial adaptation period, Dānlín's indomitable and self-respecting character began to appear. Soon, he learned to change clothes and wash sheets, and his ability to live independently was obviously enhanced, especially in training. Dānlín's mother said that once, Dānlín had a fever and had intravenous drip, but he didn't want to delay training. He didn't ask the coach for leave, so he continued training when he came back from the hospital.
4. Sun Yang's inspirational story
Sun Yang, an outstanding student of Bond Education and an ambassador of Bond Education for public welfare, won the double crown in London Olympic Games on 20 12. Father Sun described his son Sun Yang in two words: smart and sensible. In his father's eyes, his son Sun Yang has always been very clever. He had been doing well in school until he decided to major in physical education.
Since entering the public eye, Sun Yang has given the impression that he has cried several times. Sun said, "I was deeply impressed twice. One was the 2008 Shaoxing National Swimming Championships. At that time, he thought he had practiced well and could play against Zhang Lin, but he didn't expect Zhang Lin to play too well. He fell far behind Zhang Lin, holding the silver medal and crying in a big mess.
The other time was last year's Asian Games. He ran 400 meters to Park Tae hwan, but he missed it a little. Later he won1500m, and he cried with joy. He is a simple child, crying may be an emotional catharsis, I can understand. "
Since 2006, Sun Yang has made rapid progress and got the opportunity to study and train in Australia. Yang Ming also accompanied him, but he didn't stay in a hotel and couldn't ride back and forth together. The mother and son arrived at the training ground separately, and Yang Ming sat by and watched him train, and then called again at night.
Recalling those days, Yang Ming burst into tears. In March this year, he hurt his hand, and the wound was too swollen to lift. He insists on swimming 20 thousand meters every day. I'm afraid he'll be useless and lazy after practicing. He was particularly angry. He texted me that you are my mother and you don't understand me. And you told me to be lazy. Can I be lazy today? Thanks to you, you are still a college physical education teacher! "
"He is swimming with his head more and more now, and he will analyze where he needs to improve. Especially after returning from Australia, we can clearly feel that he is becoming more and more confident and more like a man. "
Yang Ming also revealed a secret of Sun Yang. "He always said to me at home, Mom, look at my achievements now. It's not impossible to be in the top three of the Olympic Games, is it? In fact, I know that he dreams of becoming the first Olympic champion of men's swimming in China one day. "
On the evening of July 27th, London time, Sun Yang said to Yang Ming, "Mom, you must enter the venue early tomorrow. The sooner I see you, the better. " So at 7 o'clock the next day, 15, Yang Ming arrived at the gate of London Water Sports Center. "I haven't opened the door yet, and I can't go in until 8 o'clock. Other children may be nervous when their parents are present. Sun Yang looked at me from an early age and was practical. "
On August 1 London time, Sun Yang came last in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay final, and the audience all over the country saw him catch up with the third place at the finish line from the fifth place and fell to the side of the pool. That night, Sun Yang comforted everyone in Weibo, "Please rest assured".
Now that I'm home, Sun tells the truth: "Mom, the individual events are fine, and my legs are really shaking when I participate in group events. Because I'm waiting by the pool, and we're already behind, I really want to jump. But when you enter the water, you are not nervous. "
After becoming famous at the London Olympic Games, netizens nicknamed Sun Yang "Sun Mengmeng". "Meng" comes from Japanese cartoon language, which means cute. "He is cute, careful and sunny." Zhu Ying remembers that when Sun Yang was a child, he would "observe what kind of drinks this coach likes and what kind of tea that coach likes, and then bring it to everyone from home".
5. Liu Xuan's inspirational story
Unlike many athletes who have shown their athletic talents since childhood, gymnastics champion Liu Xuan is a late bloomer. When she was a child, she was not the best student in the coach's eyes, but she had a tenacity that children of the same age did not have. She started gymnastics at the age of 5, and practiced until 265,438+0. After 65,438+06 years, she finally won three Olympic medals and became the first female gymnast in China.
On March 1979, Liu Xuan was born in Changsha, Hunan. When I was a child, Liu Xuan was a clever girl. Her physical quality is not very good. In order to make her grow up healthily, her parents sent her to the children's palace bodybuilding class. That year, Liu Xuan was just five years old.
Being the shortest, after coming to the bodybuilding class, Liu Xuan was at the end of the line, learning movements with his sisters. She studies hard and takes every action seriously. The coach was very happy and thought, "This little Liu Xuan is really practicing well!" Since then, the coach has started special training for Liu Xuan.
In primary school, Liu Xuan was very good at his lessons, and got 100 in Chinese and mathematics. Every day, after finishing his homework at school, Liu Xuan still insists on going to the Children's Palace bodybuilding class for training. At the age of eight, Liu Xuan was elected to the Hunan Provincial Sports Bureau for training. She practiced so hard that she even had blood bubbles on her hands.
However, she is not afraid of suffering at all. When the blood bubble is better, she will continue to practice and let the cocoons grow slowly on her hands. Because when practicing uneven bars, you still need to hold the bars. Whenever the cocoon on your hand thickens, Liu Xuan asks his father to flatten it with a blade. The longer you practice, the more blades you need. Dad knew that Liu Xuan's hand must be very painful. However, Liu Xuan endured the pain and said nothing.
Once, dad went to the store to buy a blade. The clerk is/kloc-a child under the age of 0/6. Seeing that Liu Xuan's father bought so many double-sided blades, he asked inexplicably, "Uncle, no one uses this kind of blade to shave now. Why buy so much? "
Liu Xuan's father said, "I don't need it, it's for my daughter!" " "The salesman asked again," used to sharpen pencils? "This is not safe either!"
"Not to sharpen a pencil, but to peel the cocoon of her daughter's palm! She is a gymnast. " Hearing this, the salesman was moved. He said, "Uncle, I gave these blades to your daughter. She is so young and has to suffer so much. I should also give a little love! "
Once, grandma took Liu Xuan's hand and cried bitterly to Liu Xuan's parents: "What did you do to make your children suffer from this? Let her stop practicing! "
In fact, mom and dad are also very distressed about Liu Xuan. My mother practiced gymnastics when she was a child and knew how difficult it was to practice gymnastics well. However, if my daughter can't achieve anything in this field in the future, is it necessary to train so hard?
So, my father ran to ask the coach, "Is Liu Xuan's performance in the gymnastics team excellent, above average, above average or below average?" ? If she can practice well, let her practice; If not, I'll let her go back to school, otherwise, both sides will be delayed! "The coach told dad truthfully that Liu Xuan's performance is only average or above average at present, and it is not clear whether he can make achievements in the future.
Dad thought it over, but he agreed with Liu Xuan. He thinks that his daughter should not give up easily as long as she has a little hope. Liu Xuan lived up to his father's expectations. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, Liu Xuan was selected for the national training team. After more rigorous training, Liu Xuan achieved remarkable results. However, when preparing for the 12 Asian Games in Hiroshima, Japan.
An accident in training tore the medial ligament of Liu Xuan's knee. Although it will grow well in the future, it's game time! Liu Xuan was almost crying with anxiety. How much she cherishes this opportunity! In order to get better training results, Liu Xuan gritted his teeth and kept practicing. Unfortunately, his ligament was broken and he didn't have a chance to participate in the Asian Games!
After receiving the phone call from his parents, Liu Xuan first mentioned not how painful the ligament was, but: "I brushed it off the list of the Asian Games, and I am very sad!" Hearing her daughter's crying, her parents were very sad. They immediately rushed to Beijing to visit and asked a doctor to treat Liu Xuan. Because Liu Xuan practices gymnastics, Dad has been learning massage for a long time.
So, my father gave Liu Xuan a massage every day to cooperate with the doctor's treatment; At the same time, Liu Xuan often does recovery exercises according to the coach's instructions. Soon, Liu Xuan's injury healed. Liu Xuan smiled because she could take part in the Asian Games. On that occasion, she cooperated with her teammates and won the women's team championship and the second place in the individual uneven bars.
