Four and a half years ago, when we came to the affinity source to choose a house, Comrade Wang Lin of the marketing department accompanied us to Room 309 of Building Six, as soon as we opened the door, a cool breeze suddenly blew, which made us feel relaxed and pleasant, and after viewing, we felt that the north and south were ventilated, the light was sufficient, the equipment transformation was complete, and the two lived, and the area was just right. The balcony was spacious with a longer view, very satisfied. But standing on the balcony and looking down, it is not flowers and trees, but a potholed gateball court, which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, a noisy place for life, and wants to choose another house. But suddenly I thought, this environment is so beautiful and clean, the gateball court is a little inferior, the leader cares so much about the elderly, it will be able to rebuild, it is only a matter of time. In addition, if you can go to the event, isn't it the moon that gets the moon first? It's good that annoyance becomes joy. Settle down!
Sure enough, soon Xi Zong and his wife, for the healthy life of the elderly, paid huge sums of money to rebuild the gateball court. Last year, a new Barricade with Timur knots was added to the course to make our activities safer. The leaders of Yufang changed our lives for the elderly, took pains and did practical things. thank!
When the enlightenment teacher Yan Liexing invited me to participate in the gate team, I had a lot of considerations, hesitated, and thought that the other groups were indoors, only the goal team was outdoors, the wind and rain, the sun, especially the hot sun in the summer, the cold wind in the winter, whether I could persist at such an old age. After deep thinking: croquet is the most suitable full-release sport for the elderly, not intense, nor effortless, which is suitable for the elderly to exercise. There is an idiom called "flowing water is not corrupt, the household center is not beetle", not to mention that life should be more moving, as long as you do what you can, you will be able to turn unfavorable factors into favorable factors. Too much consideration was not good for my body and mind, so the opportunity was lost, and I regretted it, so I decided to accept the invitation and participate in it!
After joining the gate team, my first consideration was learning, learning theory to guide my practice. As a result, I learned the differences between the 2011 national goalkeeping team rules and the 2009 rules, and also referred to the advanced playing styles in the library's gateball publications. He learned a series of batting methods such as four points and one line in the goalball, the foot of the ball, the calm and calm, the coordination of both hands, the self-watching of the ball, the hitting of the c point and entering the first goal, the second goal, the control of the three goals, and the first clearance, and the later concentrated round of the front grab, etc., so that they improved their skills. At the same time, I also help the new players and improve with them. Should!
After joining the gateball team, what made me happiest was to take my wife, who had hardly participated in sports (except swimming) in my life, out of the house and into the gateball court. Maybe because the gateball court was just below my house, he often leaned against the balcony to watch the ball game below, which resonated and germinated the idea of having fun with everyone. So, when I asked him to go with him to play croquet, he readily agreed. Now I can learn very well, and I am also a twenty-fourth of the main goalkeepers of the Affinity Source Team. happy!
After playing on the gateball team, there were two things that I will never forget:
May 13, 2012 is Mother's Day, yufang chose this day to hold the opening ceremony of our gate team invitational tournament, everyone is very happy. The invited teams are Gao Dong, Lu Wan, Xianxia, Vanke and Old Kids. They have been established for a long time and have excellent ball skills, but we strive to add glory to victory in the spirit of friendship first, game second, defeat is not discouraged, victory is not proud. The result of the game, Luwan first, Gao Dong second, we achieved a good result of third, which encouraged our players to continue to work hard.
On January 6, 2013, when I finished the flute interest group, Wu Naiwei and fourteen other flute friends also held a unique tea party for me, and gave me a Korean imported croquet at the meeting, which surprised and moved me. From then on, as soon as I picked up this croquet, I would feel their blessing and encouragement. I am determined to play well and give a hot point to the Affinity Source Gate team to repay them, although the skills are not superb, but the friendship of the bat will always be remembered, I will continue to work hard, and contribute my modest efforts to the Affinity Source Gate team. Come on!
In the past four years, I have participated in more than a dozen gateball invitational tournaments, learned a lot of ball knowledge and skills from other teams, and met a number of golfers, and at the same time exercised my dilemma of panic and not being able to play. From eating tangyuan to now, I have been able to win once or twice, self-intoxicated, and I am extremely pleased. Outside team participants were amazed at our progress: you guys were mushrooming and progressing fast. But this achievement is attributed to: 1, the leader of the yufang carefully considered, for the elderly apartment to set up a gateball court, the elderly healthy life is of great benefit and foresight; 2, their own home has a goalball court exercise opportunities, so-called: practice can make skill, long refining into steel; 3, there is a team of old and strong goalkeepers, the result of everyone's joint efforts. I wish our goalkeeping team better and better and fame in Shanghai.
Finally, send a short poem to express the heart song:
The four corners are rectangular green plastic floors, and the three doors and one pillar stand in the middle.
Eighty-year-old naughty boy walks with the ball, healthy and long-lived for more than a hundred years.
Sincere thanks to the affinity source, the flowers and green leaves are forever connected.
