Mountain climbing can also be regarded as a type of physical training. This sport has many beneficial factors for the body. It is both an aerobic exercise and has strength and endurance components.
Climbing a mountain can enhance the overall coordination of the body, and is good for joints, bones, muscles, blood circulation, metabolism, etc. Moreover, if you get closer to nature, you can also relieve daily mental stress, relax your mood, and play a role in mental health. Effect.
For professional athletes like Yan Shuang, mountain climbing is not a very large amount of exercise. Their daily training intensity is much greater than mountain climbing. As a coach, Dai Li's physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. So for ordinary people, it takes three or four hours to travel, but it only took the two of them more than two hours to reach the top of the mountain.
It was the weekend, and there were many people out for outings, including many people who liked mountain climbing. The two of them stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. They could see more than a dozen groups of mountain climbers in their field of vision.
"Look, those are the people who come to climb the mountain on weekends." Li Dai pointed to the road in the mountain: "There are no professional mountaineers among them, at most they are mountaineering enthusiasts, and many of them are not even mountaineering enthusiasts. , they just simply like to climb mountains. I think most of them are usually stuck in busy work, and only on weekends do they have their own time to do the things they like."
Dai Li said and turned around: "Actually, it is a very happy thing to be able to integrate work and hobbies. Work is a hobby, and hobbies are work. Doing what you like on weekdays, Being able to make money and protect the life of the whole family should be the dream of many people. In reality, there may not be many such professions, and athletes are obviously one of them."
"Some people like to play basketball, and eventually they become basketball players; some people like to play football, and eventually they become football players; some people like to play table tennis, and eventually they become table tennis players." Li Dai watched with a serious expression. Zhuo Yanshuang: "So do you like table tennis?"
"I should like it, right?" Yan Shuang's answer seemed to be asking a question.
"If you like a sport, you should be able to get fun from it." Li Dai continued: "Then think carefully, what are the fast things you have encountered in the years of playing table tennis?"
Yanshuang hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "There are too many, I can't remember them all at the moment."
"Is it because I can't remember it, or I don't have a deep impression on it?" Dai Li suddenly asked.
Yanshuang was speechless. He didn't know how to answer Li Dai's question.
"I think this is your problem. You just regard playing table tennis as a job that must be completed, rather than your own hobby, so you can't get happiness and experience the fun in table tennis. "
"Coach Gu has always instilled in you the idea of fighting for the country, so every time you participate in a game, it is like completing a mission for you. When our players participate in the game, the ultimate mission is of course to win the championship. When this mission is achieved, Before, you would be in a working state, but after entering the finals, facing your teammates, you find that the championship has been won. At this time, your working state will not last, you will relax, and even have a kind of A coping mentality. So every time you get to the finals, you will always have problems of one kind or another."
"And all of this is ultimately because you haven't found fun in table tennis. It's precisely because you don't have fun that every time you participate in a table tennis match, you just stay at the stage of 'fighting for the championship for the country' without thinking about it. Try to fight for a championship by yourself.”
"I don't, I want the championship!" Yan Shuang immediately retorted.
"No, you don't! Unless you have a mission to win the championship, your desire for the championship is not strong. There is a basis for what I say." Li Dai paused and continued:
"I have watched the table tennis finals you have participated in in recent years. I think the best match you played was the match between you and Wang Anshan during the National Games. Although you ended up winning 4-3 overall, The score was lost, but in the last game, you fought until 15-13 to end the game. I can feel that in that game, you really wanted to win, and you really wanted to win the National Games championship."
"The reason why you want to win is to help your provincial team win a gold medal in table tennis at the National Games. You think that is your mission and a task that you must try to complete, so in that final, You fought very hard. And if you were facing your provincial team teammates instead of Wang Anshan in the final, would you still fight like this?"
"I..." Yanshuang squeaked, but in the end he didn't answer.
Dai Li paused for a few seconds to let Genshuang digest his words, and then continued: "I asked you last night, who are you fighting for? You answered me that you are fighting for the country. Fight, and I told you at the time, that wasn’t the only answer. Now do you understand what I mean?”
“When you represent the national team and participate in those international competitions, you are indeed fighting for the country; when you represent the provincial team and participate in the National Games, you are fighting for your provincial team; but when you When you represent yourself, you have to fight for yourself. The key is your mentality, you need to adjust your mentality, and you need to know when you are playing for yourself!"
"You mean, in those finals that I lost, I have to play for myself?" Yanshuang realized this, but then he shook his head: "I might not be able to do it, I never thought about it. at this point."
"No, you have thought about it, but you just didn't realize it." Li Dai smiled and then said; "If you think about it, the promotion and relegation matches you participated in, weren't they just for yourself? You When you were promoted from the second team to the first team, you defeated teammates one after another. At that time, didn't you represent yourself? What you need to do now is to get back that feeling, especially when you enter again After the finals, you have to regain this feeling, and you have to tell yourself that your mission is not over yet, and there is still a championship waiting for you."
Yanshuang nodded, as if he agreed with Dai Li's words, but in his eyes, there was no firmness, more of confusion.
Yanshuang's performance made Dai Li feel helpless, so he had no choice but to continue: "I told you what to do, but do you still find it difficult to do what I said?"
Yanshuang nodded and admitted, but said: "I will try my best in the next competition."
But Dai Li shook his head: "You still don't understand the meaning of fighting for yourself, because your understanding of table tennis has not changed. In fact, the first thing you have to do is to learn to like table tennis and learn to love it. For table tennis, make table tennis your true hobby, not just a job.”
"Work and hobbies are different. Some people are workaholics. They can do their work to the fullest, get satisfaction from their work, and gain a sense of accomplishment from the success of a certain job, but they are not You may not be able to have fun. Hobbies can not only give you a sense of satisfaction and achievement, but also make you feel fun."
Dai Li said, pointing to the mountaineers who were struggling to climb up the hillside, and then said: "It seems that it may take several weeks for them to have such a day of free time to come here to climb the mountain, but they are happy, they They will enjoy climbing because they love climbing.”
"I also hope that you can find fun in table tennis. I hope that one day, when you pick up the racket and stand in front of the table tennis table, you will be happy; when you play, you can feel To be happy. I hope you can truly enjoy the sport of table tennis, enjoy the feeling of playing, and enjoy the feeling of the game. Even scoring or losing every ball will become a kind of enjoyment."
Yanshuang nodded and asked, "Then what should I do?"
"I can't help you with this, you can only feel it by yourself. You are a professional athlete. After playing table tennis for so many years, you should be able to find the fun of table tennis." Li Dai smiled: "Competitive sports are meant to bring people joy. What comes to be happy is not only the happiness of the audience, but as a professional athlete himself, he should also enjoy the fun of sports, the fun of challenging his opponents, the fun of challenging himself, the fun of creating miracles... Maybe this process is long, but I believe, As long as you are willing to experience it with your heart, you will always feel it!”
