Yang Sijie has A-level talent in sprinting. It can be said that as long as he practices a little seriously, it will be easy to win a few national championships. If he works harder, it will not be difficult to get on the world stage and compete with the world's top sprinters. matter. If you are lucky and there is no strong opponent in a certain match, it is not impossible to win a world championship.
Such a talented star of hope actually said that he hated sprinting and did not want to be an athlete. This was indeed a reason that Li Dai had never thought of.
It is said that interest is the best teacher. If Leonardo da Vinci had not had the slightest interest in painting, he would never have become a great painter; if Shakespeare had a headache when picking up a pen, he would not have become a literary giant.
Of course, not everyone will like their career very much, but at least it cannot be said to be "hateful".
If a person hates his career, he will not achieve success even if he continues to do it forcefully. For example, if a businessman hates making money, he will definitely be poor for the rest of his life; if a person in the system does not want to be an official, he will be a clerk for the rest of his life.
The same is true for athletes. Many athletes start training at a young age. They really love the sport they are engaged in, and they keep working hard with the dream of becoming champions. If an athlete does not have the slightest desire for a championship and remains content with the status quo, he will never achieve results.
Yang Sijie said that he hated sprinting and did not want to be an athlete. This emotion was brought to the training field. Even if he completed daily training, the effect was very limited. At the same time, this emotion also made him unwilling to communicate with his teammates. After all, no one wanted to talk about things they didn't like.
This is like a reader reading a book. If a person likes this book, he will be unsatisfied after reading it. He will talk about the content in the book and even think of the plot in the book from time to time; and if a person does not like it, If you force him to read this book, he will definitely complain about it. Even after reading it, he will not want to recall the plot of the story. He may not even remember the name of the protagonist.
Yang Sijie is opposed to sprinting in his heart, so he is absent-minded and lacks initiative in daily training.
The effects of active training and passive training are obviously not the same. If it were an ordinary athlete training with resistance, he might have been eliminated from this industry long ago.
But Yang Sijie's talent is so incredible that he is talented enough to become a world-class athlete. There is not even a single athlete with A talent in the sprint group of the national team. Therefore, even if Yang Sijie has resistance in his heart, with just his talent, Yang Sijie can crush his peers and become the leader in sprint events. It wasn't until he met a group of equally talented athletes on the Tsinghua University track and field team that he became the person with the lowest grades.
"With such a good talent, he could have been on the stage of the World Series, but he actually said he hates sprinting and doesn't want to be an athlete. This is such a pity!"
Dai Li knew that hard work was not sweet. If Yang Sijie really had no interest in sprinting, then it might be difficult to achieve the desired results if he was forced to continue practicing.
"Yang Sijie's resume says that he has been training professionally since he was 14 years old. He has been practicing sprinting for five years! Since he doesn't want to be an athlete, why does he persist until now?" Li Dai thought of this and deliberately pulled the trigger. Asked a new question and continued the topic.
"Since you don't want to be an athlete, what do you want to do in the future? I have seen your resume. You are from the School of Economics and Management. Do you plan to get an MBA and do business management in the future?" Li Dai continued to ask.
"I want to be a photographer." Yang Sijie said, lowering his head again, as if he was embarrassed.
"There's nothing shy about it. In fact, when I just graduated, I didn't plan to be a coach. At that time, I wanted to be a middle school physical education teacher. It was quite fun every winter and summer vacation. But I didn't pass the exam, and inexplicably ended up becoming Coach." Dai Li smiled and said, "Tell me, how did you become an athlete and how did you get to where you are now?"
"When I was fourteen years old, the school required all our students to stay in school for an hour every day to make up for extra classes. I didn't want to make up for the extra classes. I knew everything the teacher taught, so I joined the school's track and field team so I didn't have to make up for extra classes. ." Yang Sijie said.
"Did you practice track and field just to avoid having to make up classes?" Dai Li thought this was a bit dramatic.
Yang Sijie nodded and continued: "After I practiced for a few months, there was a track and field competition for middle school students in the city. I ran 11.72 seconds and won the championship. I was also spotted by the track and field teacher of the sports school. That My dad asked me to start practicing sports at that time. He said I could become a top athlete. So I took classes in the morning and went to the sports school to train in the afternoon."
Dai Li's expression changed, and he exclaimed in his heart: "You can run 11.72 seconds at the age of fourteen. You are worthy of being the top genius. The standard for national second-level athletes seems to be 11.74 seconds on the electric meter." Right! Many people who practice sprinting are still working hard to become national second-level athletes when they are 17 or 18 years old. He did it at the age of fourteen."
Yang Sijie continued: "Later, when I was admitted to university, I originally did not plan to continue to be an athlete, but my dad still got me into the university's sports department. He asked me to continue practicing sprinting and continue to be an athlete."
Yang Sijie mentioned his father many times, which reminded Li Dai to recall what Xin Xiaotian said that Yang Sijie's father was a very powerful person and had useful connections at Tsinghua University.
Dai Li asked: "It sounds like your father really wants you to become an athlete. Why don't you tell your father that you don't want to be an athlete?"
"My dad is right. He said that I have the talent for sprinting and can become an excellent athlete. Then I should follow his words and become an athlete." Yang Sijie lowered his head and said.
"Your father's judgment is quite accurate. You are indeed quite talented." Li Dai recalled Yang Sijie's A-level sprinting talent and asked, "Is your father a retired athlete?"
Yang Sijie shook his head.
"Then your father must be a coach!" Dai Li continued.
Yang Sijie shook his head again and revealed the answer: "My dad is a scientist."
"Scientist? Sports science?" Dai Li asked in surprise.
"Biological science, my dad is a scientist studying biology." Yang Sijie said.
"Oh!" Dai Li nodded. Biological science was a theory he didn't understand at all. He subconsciously didn't want this topic to get involved in biological science.
"So, being an athlete is not your own choice, but your father made the decision for you?" Li Dai looked at Yang Sijie, who did not answer, but nodded in acquiescence.
"Since you don't like sprinting and don't want to be an athlete, have you told your father your thoughts?" Dai Li then asked.
Yang Sijie finally shook his head: "No."
"Why?" Dai Li asked eagerly.
"There is no need. What my dad said is definitely right. And it has always been like this since I was a child. He will help me arrange everything. I just need to do what he says." Yang Sijie said in his tone. There was a calmness and a sense of helplessness.
"No one is always right." Dai Li immediately retorted.
Yang Sijie lowered his head, as if unwilling to argue with Dai Li on this issue.
Dai Li has already guessed that Yang Sijie has a very strong father, and he is also the kind of person who is used to taking care of his children's affairs. Yang Sijie's father has helped him arrange his life path, and Yang Sijie has also been used to it. To obey his father's arrangements.
Dai Li somewhat sympathized with Yang Sijie. Maybe his father's arrangement was really right and allowed Yang Sijie to embark on the road to success. But at the same time, Yang Sijie had lost himself. In this way, it was better to say that he listened to his parents. To put it mildly, he is a puppet without self-awareness!
Dai Li took a deep breath, changed his tone to a serious tone, and said to Yang Sijie: "Yang Sijie, look at me now and listen to me carefully."
Yang Sijie raised his head, and the two looked at each other.
"Yang Sijie, you are nineteen years old and an adult. An adult should learn to make his own choices. You can't always rely on your father. You can't always grow up under the protection of your parents. You should learn to be independent. , learn to have your own opinions. Maybe your father's choice is correct, but this does not mean that your own choice is wrong."
"You have your own dreams, then you should work hard, fight, and struggle for your dreams! Dreams are not meant to be hidden in your heart. Dreams should be taken out and placed in front of you so that you can continue to work hard. Chase with action!”
"This is your dream, this is your life. Your father may be able to help you take a shortcut on the road of life, but he cannot walk on this road of life for you! You have to understand that you are alone. , rather than a puppet manipulated by others. In the end, you still have to go on your own life."
Yang Sijie opened his mouth, and the excitement in his eyes flashed past, and then his eyes dimmed again. He said somewhat discouraged: "I understand everything you said. According to what you said, I will follow the instructions. Do what you want, I want to be a photographer, so the first thing I have to do now is to stop practicing sprinting and quit the track and field team, right?"
"This..." Dai Li hesitated immediately.
He realized that he seemed to have done something stupid and shot himself in the foot.
He talked impassionedly about his "dream" here, but in fact, he seemed to be persuading Yang Sijie to quit the track and field team.
"What am I doing? I originally planned to persuade Yang Sijie to train hard, but why did I end up persuading him to quit the team!"
