After a training session, a little boy named Niu Niu left sullenly with a ball bag on his back. Gong Ruina stopped him, "Is it because you lost the relay today, so you are not happy?" The cow looked at the ground with its head buried, replied "no" without hesitation, and then there was no word. Gong Rui saw that he had no intention of continuing the topic and told him to go home and pay attention to safety. Then, he turned his head and said to me, "He has changed his voice, and his voice is thicker than before." "At this time, her role as a mother surpassed that of the coach.
Gong Rena and The Rena Sports Team
Last summer, former world champion Rena Gong founded Rinna Sports, which mainly trains teenagers aged 6 to 12. The reason why I want to start it is more accurate to say that my friends have thrown it up.
"When I was in Hong Kong before, because it was very difficult for children to enroll, my friends suggested that I go to school to coach the school team so that my children could enroll. I thought, I didn't have anything to do anyway, so I went to teach them. After returning from Hong Kong, I didn't think about doing training, but my friend asked me, 'Why did I lose my old business'? Moreover, my two children really like to play ball, and I want to teach them anyway, so I just opened a training class. ”
Although he was pushed to this road by his friends, Gong Rui, who is recognized as "doing things" in everyone's mouth, is not slack at all. In the early stage, she first found a lot of college students to conduct market research, she wanted to cut into the youth training, there are many trainings on the market, but they are not very standardized. Seeing other children learning ball, she is easy to substitute herself into the mother's angle, the coach is confused, the teaching is not good, she will be more anxious than the child's parents, it is useless to be in a hurry, just make a model for yourself!
Gong Ruina instructed the children to train
Gong Rana has two children, the eldest daughter is 10 years old and the younger son is 8 years old, and they now attend classes at the international school in Changsha. Before choosing to enroll, Gong Ruina asked the two children to go to the trial class by themselves, and they made sure that they liked it before signing up. "It must be that the children themselves like it, otherwise when they encounter a little difficulty in the future, they will say 'mom let me come'." The most important thing is that they want to be happy, unhappy can not be insisted on, and if they do not insist on it, they cannot do a good job. Her philosophy dominates the tone of the development of Rinnar Sports: be sure to do badminton training that makes children happy.
Children are very simple, as long as they get along with them a little bit, they will be very good with you, but it is another thing for them to really like playing badminton.
First of all, when selecting a coach, Gong Ruina does not pay special attention to technical ability, but is quite picky about looks. "You have to be good-looking, you have to make your child feel intimate." If you want to be a child king, the children must like you, otherwise they will not listen to anything they say. "Now, her coaches are retired athletes from provincial sports teams or above, who graduated from physical education majors in universities including Beijing Sport University and Central South University, and most of them are young people after 95." They are young, easy to accept new ideas, and more importantly, they are mostly 'white paper', have no experience of teaching ball, and are not 'oil' at all, otherwise it is really difficult to do. ”
These coaches, including Gong Ruina herself, have an exclusive fruit name, Gong Rui is durian, and others include lychees, grapefruit, oranges, mangoes, etc., which is the "fruit family" she wants to create.
The traditional coach name is easy to create a sense of distance between the child, Gong Rui then pondered the use of the fruit that the child can touch every day as the coach's code name, easy to remember and kind, Gong Rui often becomes the "stinky durian" in the mouth of the child. The "Fruit Family" also communicates with hunan provincial hospitals on "sports and adolescent mental health", combined with the psychology of teenagers, they create a "fruit squat" - coaches must crouch down and look at them when talking to children, and the original boring physical training is also accompanied by music, so that children can complete training in rhythmic music.
Gong Ruina said that because no one had done this training before, there was no experience of predecessors to learn from, and they had to make a way out on their own. So, every day her mind is racing, and any small detail can be an opportunity to inspire her to improve her teaching methods. Teaching the correct way to hold the beat once became a very troublesome problem for her, even if the coach said it clearly, the children could not do it accurately, so anxious that Gong Ruina "wanted to use 520 glue to stick the racket to their hands". Later, she actually came up with a way to put a small red arrow on the handle so that the children could always check if the grip was correct. Small inventions solve big problems, and Gong Ruina laughs and says that he wants to apply for a patent.
Gong Ruina's "Little Invention"
Gong Ruina's mobile phone can always turn out an excel form, which is the lesson plan for the week's teaching. The lesson plans of different stadiums are divided into different labels, and in each lesson plan, each training is refined to each project, and each project is implemented to each child. "In our training, every kid has something to do every minute. For example, practicing techniques, practicing strides, and even picking up the ball are specially noted. This lesson plan, even compared with the national team, is not inferior. From a mother's standpoint, Gong Rana didn't want her children to waste every minute in training. Young and young, she wants every parent who sends her child to learn ball to see the quality of the training.
Every morning, coaches study in the company, discuss problems that arise in teaching, and suggest improvements. In order to brainstorm, Gong Ruina will also invite parents to give advice, because her professional player background makes it easy for her to ignore some of the problems that will occur among amateur players. As a result, her team includes coaches of all levels and levels, from world champions to national champions to amateur masters. According to the accumulated teaching experience, they have come up with teaching sops, that is, standard homework procedures, so as to ensure that all trainees participating in the training have a unified standard to find, so that the quality of teaching is guaranteed.
Gong Ruina hopes that such sops can be promoted to regulate the uneven youth training market. At the same time as The Rena Sports was training this morning, on a field in the corner of the same stadium. There's also a coach who's teaching five or six kids. For the irregular movements, the coach did not correct it, and the children who had not been trained for the time being sat and chatted in the open space of the venue. This kind of teaching attitude of the misguided children is the most unacceptable to Gong Rui, staring at the training of the children she trained, her eyes are always unconsciously aimed at there, as if there is an impulse to go over at any time to catch the children over there for training.
In the training system of Rena Sports, all children are divided into 5 stars according to their level. At the beginning of the study is 1 star, after 20 hours of study to be assessed, if qualified to be promoted to 2 stars, and so on. The lower the star rating, the higher the ratio of coach and student, "because the younger the child needs more coaches, and the movements at the beginning need to be slowly sharpened." "On the contrary, when it comes to the highest star, you need more opponents, and you can promote each other with each other.
Since last summer's vacation, Rena Sports has just been established for one year. Today, they have opened badminton classes in more than 10 primary schools in Changsha, training classes on weekends, and training camps in winter and summer. In the second half of this year, they are ready to expand their training to Shenzhen. In addition, many second- and third-tier cities have invited them to open classes. Gong Ruina did not agree, because she wanted to lay the foundation first. She did not deny that of course she wanted to make money doing training, but that should be a matter of course.
Seriously, it's hard to imagine a teen training institution that can think so thoughtfully about so many details. Yes, among the children who participated in the training was Gong Rui's own child, who was both a manager and a mother, and the two roles were not contradictory.
From the perspective of the mother to improve the training method, but also from the perspective of the manager to understand the psychology of parents, both for the same purpose - to make the child happy to play! In the end, it's because of responsibility, and it's because of love, to borrow the words in the Rena Sports brochure to end —
Because of love, we are closer to the children; because of love, we pour out our hearts; because of love, we pay attention to the personality of each child, let the children grow freely, grow into what they want to be
