I'm a sports student learning long jump! This time I went to the provincial sports meeting, the teacher of No.7 Middle School taught us a paper of not less than 3000 words!

Recently, I have seen a lot of posts expressing the aspirations of sports students, and the content is a bit similar. They just tell everyone how much effort we have made, how much pain others can't imagine, the formation of our seemingly inaccessible personality, and the care and love we deserve. I was a little touched at first, but I was a little tired after watching too much. If these are all sports students, then we are too simplistic about ourselves. Moreover, such confession can only be exchanged for sympathy, just as white-collar workers understand the scene of farmers' hard farming, but only sympathy and little respect. In fact, we should be respected, because we can really feel things that ordinary people can't.

The first one is called reality. Many people are complaining that society does not give people equal opportunities to compete. Some people have backgrounds, some people have connections, some people are rich second generation, and some people are flatterers. If all this equal competition is put aside, many people think they must be better than others. In other words, if God can give you a level playing field, you still failed, which will be a heavy blow. We all came out of this blow. Sports is a competitive environment in relatively equal. Regardless of drug abuse (don't think that anyone who takes drugs can reach a high level, and his physique is much higher than that of ordinary people after taking drugs), in all the arenas without referee factors, all human intrigue can't play the role of reversing Gan Kun, and the competition is the real self-strength. Often when we are in the best physical condition, we will often encounter a crushing defeat. In this case, we can't find any excuse except to admit defeat. We can only forget our place in the dream and accept the reality completely. Usually this dream is far from reality, and the spotlight is only on the champion in our game! When such a reality is naked in front of us, we can only answer: we can't. However, not everyone has the courage to make such a confession, and this reality is not acceptable to everyone, because it strips away all the factors that affect the result, so that you can't find any excuses. Relatively speaking, those who complain about social injustice have at least a fig leaf that sounds reasonable to cover up your failure, and we have no choice but to accept the reality.

In the face of reality, the second thing we must recognize is called the gap. The gap has never been taken seriously, because many excuses can make people erase the distance that others are stronger than you, but here, no one! The difference of 0.0 1 second in the 100-meter race can completely judge the outcome of the two men. There are no excuses and reasons, and we must carefully understand the gap. Therefore, it is the basic principle of all sports students to respect their opponents and face themselves squarely. We will bring this principle into our life and implement it in all future behaviors, so it is not surprising that some sports students will be so arrogant in front of you, even if they are only a little better than you, and it is not surprising that some sports students will give up their position in areas that are not as good as you, even if they are only a little worse than you. This is the way to recognize the gap and tell us. The second meaning of the gap is not only to know the gap between yourself and your opponent, but also to know the gap between two opponents who are stronger than you. For example, you won the third place in the 100 meter race, and the top two were far ahead of you. What's the difference between the first two? Ordinary people will not be too curious when they encounter similar problems in society, because since others are much better than you and are all gods, why should we insist on the difference between God and God? Anyway, they are much better than you. But we don't think so. The gap in sports competition is obvious and measurable. So we know that it is not necessarily God who wins us a lot, one may be a strongman and the other may be God. Under the guidance of such a gap view, instead of blindly worshipping, we can better understand the essence and set a suitable benchmark. So the sports students around you will not be easily convinced, because they know another interpretation of the gap.

Seeing the reality clearly, finding out the gap, knowing that the future is not so bright and facing hard training at the same time, what makes us continue to walk into the training ground carefree? This is the third thing we need: optimism and courage. The courage of sports students is not exhausted at one go, but continuous and consistent, which embodies persistence, which is unimaginable to ordinary people. Many people will wonder when they see me training in rainy, snowy and windy days: Do you still practice in this weather? This at least shows that their daily life and study can be interrupted if they encounter some natural forces, but training can't! Training strictly follows the development law of body function. Every day's training is to strengthen and adjust the muscles, tissues and nervous system to better meet the requirements of the competition, and it is not allowed to interrupt at will. So, if you are tired all day, you will feel cramps, vomit, feel sore and can't sleep at night. As long as the muscles and bones are not badly injured, they will appear on the training ground the next day. How brave it takes to continue like this day after day and year after year. Comparatively speaking, if there are no holidays, what kind of surgery is scraping skin, grinding a bubble or even acupuncture? It's no wonder that sports students see many people catching up on several papers, burning the midnight oil and running more customers. They will get sick and complain. However, in this way, we can still live happily, because we are optimistic, and not ordinary optimism! One of my classmates, a middle-distance runner, ran the first marathon for 2 hours and 29 minutes. When he returned to the dormitory, I asked him if he was tired. He smiled and answered ok, turned over and went to sleep, from five o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock the next morning. I know he is exhausted, but he doesn't coquetry, complain, or even complain commensurate with his exhaustion. We are optimistic that this is possible. We are optimistic because we don't feel pain, we don't feel pain because we have experienced hardships, and we can experience such hardships because we have extraordinary courage. So we are cheerful and open-minded, and we cherish life.

The fourth thing is called strengthening the heart. We usually judge whether an executive is excellent or not by his determination. If an executive can accurately give orders to sell when the stock market peaks but does not fall, then he will be regarded as a god, because he is under pressure that ordinary people can't bear, and he has extraordinary knowledge and experience before him. Such a person is rare, even if it happens to someone, it is rare for decades. However, all these similar tests will happen to sports students repeatedly within one year. When you turn your head and see your relay partner step into the sign line, can you start with all your strength without hesitation? Track and field athletes will not hesitate, even if the response is only between 0. 1 sec. When you feel that the muzzle is shaking just to correct the bull's-eye, can you pull the trigger without any worries? Shooters don't have any worries, even if the timing of firing is fleeting. When you hold the ball until the last second, can you make a move without hesitation? Basketball players can, even if they just dunk in the end. This kind of psychological training is constantly testing us, not to mention the low level of competition and the pressure will not be so great. Because even junior athletes regard it as their own Olympic Games. It is our strong heart that makes us extremely confident, so don't blame us for throwing an puzzled smile at those who toss and turn because of the exam, can't sleep at night, worship and worship, and believe in their brothers and sisters.

In fact, there are many more, but I think these four points are enough. We have a clear understanding of reality, a gap, an optimistic attitude, sustained and strong courage and a broken nerve. What is the need to talk about your own hardships in exchange for others' understanding and sympathy? The experience this sport has given us, our physique and mind have been tempered, and the fog has been cleared away, which has helped me find an understanding. Shouldn't all this be awe-inspiring Therefore, we don't have to feel inferior, and we don't have to make a hullabaloo about. We just have to do what I propose and wait for an attitude from others. This is called respect! You deserve it! Because you are a sports student!
