Dai Li felt very embarrassed. His original intention was to encourage Yang Sijie and hope that he could be more active. That's why Li Daicai talked about life and dreams, and he also talked about it very impassionedly.
But Yang Sijie's dream is not to be an excellent athlete, but to become a photographer. Dai Li encouraged Yang Sijie to pursue his dream, so Yang Sijie is bound to bid farewell to the path of being an athlete.
"I am a coach, how could I do such a stupid thing to persuade an athlete to change his career, and he is also an extremely talented athlete!" Li Dai felt extremely distressed, and he wanted to take back what he had just said.
However, when Dai Li considered the problem from Yang Sijie's perspective, he had a different idea.
"When you are 20 years old, it is the time when a person is filled with excitement and wants to chase his dreams. At this age, he is very passionate, passionate, and impulsive. People at this age are also the easiest to do whatever they think of. There is no such thing as So much looking forward and looking back. This is a young man who really chases his dreams."
"When you reach my age and have a stable job and struggle to survive in society, your dreams will be constrained by the pressure of survival. If you are older and have a family and children, you need to support your family. , there are many more responsibilities on the shoulders, and the dream may be just a reflection of the moon in the mirror. With a thirty-year mortgage, you may not even be qualified to dream about the dream you once had!"
"If a person fails to give it a try when it is time to pursue his dream, he will probably regret it for the rest of his life!" Li Dai thought of this and looked at Yang Sijie with complicated eyes.
From a coach's perspective, Li Dai certainly doesn't want Yang Sijie to give up sprinting. The coach's job is to train athletes. Yang Sijie has such great talent and is a born sprinter. It would be a pity if he changed his career to something else.
However, Dai Li knew that it was a kind of torture and pain to be forced to do things that he hated. Even in the future, if Yang Sijie achieves good results and wins championships one after another, he may not feel the slightest joy.
"He shouldn't waste his youth on something he doesn't like at all! After all, youth is only once. If you miss it, you can't get it back..." Dai Li sighed silently, and he began to soften. He didn't want Yang Sijie to have any regrets.
Finally, Dai Li said: "Yang Sijie, life is yours, and you have to take your own path in the future. The choice is yours as to which path to take."
Dai Li paused and then said: "If you don't plan to continue practicing sprinting, of course you can choose to leave. But if you plan to stay, I hope you can treat sprinting as a career like others. Not a tool for you to deal with your father.”
Yang Sijie opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak. He knew that what Li Dai said was right. He had never regarded sprinting as a hobby, let alone a career. He shows up on the training ground on time every day and completes each training plan, just to give an explanation to his father.
"You are only nineteen years old, and you are still very young. But for a person's life, youth is so short, and it passes in the blink of an eye. Youth should be passionate, bloom, and perform the most wonderful things in life. Chapter! Instead of repeating things you don't like every day." Dai Li paused and smiled with relief: "You make your own decisions about your youth!"
…
The next day, Yang Sijie did not show up at the training ground. After Dai Li inquired, he found out that Yang Sijie had indeed submitted an application to withdraw from the team and that he did not intend to continue training.
Dai Li felt very regretful and even a little painful. He seemed to have a feeling that he had missed a five million lottery prize because Yang Sijie's talent was so outstanding. As a coach, Dai Li really couldn't give up on such an outstanding person. "potential stocks".
Dai Li didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. Perhaps one day in the future, Yang Sijie will regret today's decision. When Yang Sijie fails to become an excellent photographer, he will even feel that if he continues to be an athlete, he might have become the world's top sprinter.
"This is your own choice. Whether the road to the future is smooth or bumpy, you have to grit your teeth and go on firmly. Whether you succeed or fail, you have to bear the consequences. And what I can do is, I just wish you the best and hope you can succeed." Li Dai calmed down and returned to training.
…
On the training ground, Dai Li was instructing the athletes. From a distance, Dr. Mao came over.
Dr. Mao greeted Dai Li and asked straight to the point: "Coach Li, do you have time now?"
"What's the matter?" Dai Li asked.
"Professor Fang would like to invite you to the office to learn about the recent training of the sprint team." Dr. Mao said.
The "Professor Fang" Dr. Mao mentioned is the big boss of the Physical Education Department of Tsinghua University. He is the director of the Physical Education and Research Department of Tsinghua University. The Sports and Health Research Center and Sports Human Science Laboratory of Tsinghua University are both Fang. Established by professors. At the same time, Professor Fang is also an expert named by the State Sports General Administration.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll change into dry clothes." Dai Li pointed to the sweat-soaked training clothes on his body. Although he couldn't take a shower right away, Dai Li wouldn't go to the meeting covered in smelly sweat. That Professor Fang.
Dai Li changed into clean clothes, and then followed Dr. Mao to the office area. After walking into Professor Fang's office, Dai Li found two people sitting in the room.
One of them is Professor Fang. When Li Dai first came to the Physical Education Department of Tsinghua University, he saw Professor Fang’s introduction when reading materials. There was also Professor Fang’s photo printed on it, so Li Dai immediately recognized Fang. professor.
Next to Professor Fang, sat a man in his fifties. This man's temples have turned white, and he has a neatly combed back hair. He has thick eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a sense of wisdom. He has a high nose and a big nose. The nose is neither fat nor thin, but the face is sharp and angular. His skin is well maintained. Although it has wrinkles, it is still white and rosy, and it is obvious that there is no lack of collagen.
"A handsome old guy!" Dai Li sighed inwardly. The man in front of him was really good-looking, and he was no less handsome than those movie stars who were so handsome when they were young. Moreover, this man still has a strong scholar's temperament.
There are more scholars than dogs in Tsinghua University. These days, Dai Li is used to seeing people with scholarly temperament, but no one can compare to this man. If Dai Li were asked to evaluate, he felt that he should add "success" In two words, this man exudes an aura of "success" all over his body and is a "successful scholar."
"I always feel that this person looks familiar! I seem to have seen him somewhere. He must be a professor at Tsinghua University, too!" Dai Li thought to himself.
While Dai Li was looking at these two people, the two people were also looking at Dai Li. A trace of surprise flashed across their eyes, obviously feeling that Dai Li was a little too young.
It was Dr. Mao who spoke first: "Professor Fang, Academician Yang, this is Coach Li Daili."
"That man is an academician! Someone who deserves this title must be a great person." Li Dai thought to himself, and at the same time he said: "Professor Fang, Academician Yang, hello."
"Hello." Professor Fang nodded: "Coach Li, although this is our first meeting, I think you know me, right?"
Dai Li nodded and said with a smile: "I've known you since the first day I arrived."
There was a sense of satisfaction in Professor Fang's eyes. He pointed to Academician Yang next to him and introduced: "The Academician Yang next to me is Yang Sijie's father."
"It turns out that this old handsome man is Yang Sijie's father! Speaking of which, Yang Sijie is also quite handsome. He probably inherited his father's good genes, but I think his father should have been more handsome than him when he was young. Speaking of Yang Sijie's father What are you doing here? It was his father’s decision for Yang Sijie to practice sprinting. Now that Yang Sijie has quit the team, his father shouldn’t come to me to accuse him!"
Dai Li suddenly understood, and he glared at Dr. Mao fiercely.
"What do you mean by asking about the recent training situation of the sprint team? Use this excuse to trick me! You should have told me the truth earlier! Didn't this Dr. Mao deliberately cause trouble for me?" Dai Li thought to himself.
Dr. Mao glared back at Dai Li, with the same unhappy expression in his eyes, as if he was blaming Dai Li for causing big trouble to the sports department.
