When talking about the education of children, Wu Jingyu said:
What I can give her better may be a kind of frustration education, as I have told many teenagers, not that you can't fail. After I lost at the Tokyo Olympics, in an interview, someone asked the mother of the child what to do if she lost, and she was actually a little sad. I told her that it didn't matter, my mother had won and lost, but we had to be brave to do what we loved. You can't just lose and you don't participate. It's okay to lose, we'll come again. Then the child will come and say, Mom, it doesn't matter, I grew up and I won back! This sentence surprised me.
As a "mom" athlete, in terms of sports, what do you most want to say to the majority of teenagers?
Wu Jingyu said:
Sport itself is a frustration education. I read Mr. Zhang Boling's book some time ago and said that moral education, intellectual education, sports, and three educations are complete, you can create a sound personality of teenagers. So I hope that sport can also be a part of each of our lives. But more importantly, when you choose sports, be sure to choose one that you are particularly passionate about. Only love can persist. Because sport itself is a setback education that requires you to experience setbacks and then make yourself stronger. But there is a very, very much happiness in it. So choose the sport you like, stick with it, get happy, get mentally healthy.
