Like Randy Hunter's Mike Powell and Carl Lewis, the two have competed in the long jump for several years, the Olympics, the World Championships, and many times it is almost the stage for the two to perform.

In terms of athletic talent, especially in the long jump, the two are almost evenly matched, determining the victory or defeat and performance of the two, in addition to the factors of training, technique, and physical condition, there is also luck, state, and whether the heart is strong or not.

From his point of view, if you want to become the world's top athlete, you have to have that strong desire and a heart to pursue this height, in order to reach this level.

"Coach, I walked on the track and started sprinting, I never thought I would be today." Ye Qin's voice was a little low, so that Chen Zhongzhou next to him needed to get a little closer to hear it clearly.

Ye Qin's resume is already familiar to him, but many of the things he understands literally are completely different from the experiences of the athletes.

For example, Ye Qin was abandoned by his father and grew up with his grandparents since he was a child, and in the most difficult time, although he was not hungry, he still had to scrape together the tuition fees for school every year, which was an experience that was difficult for many people with a good environment to imagine.

"But you're already on this path, and you're going to keep going, aren't you?" Randy Hunter felt that Ye Chin's mood had dropped a little, and smiled and relieved beside him.

"That's right! I'm definitely going to keep running. ”

Ye Qin raised his head, looked at Randy Hunter and Chen Zhongzhou, showed a smile, and continued, "I used to think a lot when I was on the field, first it was the school track and field competition, I signed up unexpectedly, and then my physical education teacher at that time, she was a woman, she used to be an athlete, she said that I was very talented, let me practice sports with her.

You know, before that, although I thought my sports were good, I never thought that I had to work hard to practice sports, and my family couldn't afford my nutrition. I just represented the school in a city high school sports day, and then the coach of the professional team came to look for me, and it was a great opportunity.

At that time, I didn't have a concept of running and track and field, I just enjoyed being cheered and applauded when I was running on the track and field, and I knew that a teenager who had a bad family and was not smart was always a little inferior. It was only when I was on the track and field that I seemed to be able to find myself.

Still, I turned down the professional team's offer. Coach, this is not what you think, they are similar to the professional sports team in the police department, if I go, with my family conditions at the time, it will be able to greatly improve my situation.

It's just that I didn't understand it at the time, maybe it was because I lacked self-confidence in myself and didn't dare to face such an unfamiliar environment, and maybe I wanted to be able to get into a good university.

My PE teachers, including Coach Nie, who later became my coach, were full of confusion about my decision, but then they were all helping me, and my school was also providing various resources to train me.

There is a saying from my teacher that I have always remembered in my heart, and that is that sports can change our destiny!

So, coach, if you ask me what I want to achieve in the future, what I have a strong desire to achieve in the future, frankly, I can't actually say it myself, I don't know.

I've seen top athletes on the field, and I want them to do a good job, and if they win the championship, I want to win the championship. I also want to be cheered on and be the center of attention for all. But these, I think, are not the motivation that can support me all the way! ”

From the World Youth Championships Nie Fangping suddenly fell ill and entered the hospital, to being directly selected by the national team to participate in the Olympic Games, to the Athens Olympics and the top masters from all walks of life, and after the Olympics, he became famous and signed autographs. After going home to see his grandparents, his uncle's life, and the "parents" who came to manage his bonus income, it seemed that overnight, Ye Qin's mentality grew.

The growth of young people is sometimes a long process, but sometimes it is just a short period of time, and some people suddenly experience some things, and gradually recognize themselves and the world.

Ye Qin paused, looked at Randy Hunter and Chen Zhongzhou's eyes listening to him intently, and then continued: "Coach, I don't know if I'm right. I remember after the men's 400m at the World Junior Championships, then champion Raun Merritt said that the reason he was on the track was because of his brother, who carried on his legacy to become a great track and field athlete.

Then I think what can support me is because sports have changed my life, the track and field have changed my life, and the track has changed my life.

She is such a real existence, as long as I am willing to work hard, willing to pay, I don't let her down, she will not let my efforts go in vain, she will not live up to me!

If I don't walk on the track and don't start running, coach, I'm probably like many high school students right now, trying to prepare for the college entrance examination next year, or maybe I can't continue my studies because of family reasons, and I don't know where to work to make a living.

But now, I have passed the test of the best university in the country and will be able to enroll in September next year. She made a lot of things that I couldn't reach before.

Coach, I even thought that if I left this world one day, I would like to be able to scatter my ashes on the track of the track and field. That way, I can continue to run even in another world. ”

"My child, I'm sorry." Randy Hunter had been listening carefully to Ye Chin's thoughts, and walked up to Ye Qin and hugged him gently, "I can't imagine your upbringing, but they will both become the most valuable treasures in your life." I'm now starting to understand how you were able to go from a third-rate high school to the Olympics after two years of training. Of course, it is because you have great talents and many people who help you, but the most important thing is that you have a strong heart. This is more important than the championship, it can support you to go further! ”

Chen Zhongzhou, who was standing on the side, looked at Ye Qin, and only felt as if his heart was tightly gripped.

Before the Athens Olympics, the domestic track and field community was far from familiar with the name Ye Qin, and he had heard it, and probably thought that it was a newcomer cultivated by a local team.

However, after the Athens Olympics, the sixth place in the men's 200 meters, although it is not as well-known as Liu Yangyu, is still a huge shock to the domestic sprint world.

During this period of time at the General Training Bureau, he saw that the young athlete in front of him, who was gradually fading from youth to youth, seemed to be able to see the process of desperate struggle like weeds in him.

The fire can't burn me, the stone can't crush me, the ice storm can't crush me!

That's how I want to go up, I want to grow, and nothing can stop me!

……

"Coach, having said all this, the rest time has passed, should we continue training?"

After saying a lot of words, Ye Qin looked at Randy Hunter and Chen Zhongzhou who seemed to be still a little immersed, and smiled and pulled the two back together.

"Of course, Chen and I are coaches, and it is not hard to train us, if you want to be tired, we can come up with thousands of ways for you." Randy Hunter looked at Ye Qin with a smile, but his eyes were a little different from before.

He likes hard-working and talented athletes, but he loves the kind of people who have strong inner strength, and their natural and strong desire to struggle forward from the inside out, which can naturally infect everyone around him without too many words.

“Again！”

The footsteps on the training ground often stop and soon Randy Hunter's voice asks for another group.

Soon, the footsteps continued to sound.
