On June 17, Beijing time, Sun Yingsha, Sun Mingyang, and Kuman several main players of national table tennis had a dinner with their mentor Qiu Yike to eat hot pot. Due to the proximity of Father's Day, some fans jokingly said that Sa Sa and several other disciples celebrated Father's Day for Qiu Yike in advance. Although I don't know if this is the purpose of Sa Sha's dinner, Qiu Yike led this group of players really like a family.
Qiu Yi is a good coach
Qiu Yike officially became the head coach of Sa Sa in February 2022, after Sa Sa had been free-range in National Table Tennis for more than two years. Although many coaches have given temporary guidance to Sasha, none of the full-time head coaches have been fixed, which is very detrimental to Sasha's development.
The two-way selection of coaches and players realized within National Table Tennis must be willing to pair up to become mentors and apprentices. Of course, Qiu Yike is willing to choose Shasha. Who doesn't like such a good player. Sasha chose Qiu Yi must have made a deliberate choice. Qiu Yike also coached Sa Sa in the game earlier, and it must have been the short cooperation at that time that left a deep impression on Sha Sha, so Sa Sa finally chose Qiu Yike as her full-time coach.
So why did Sasha choose Qiu Yike? It may be that Qiu Yike's personality is very gentle, especially suitable for a lively girl like Shasha, usually when communicating, Sasha can go to Qiu Yike without scruples to be coquettish or angry, Qiu Yike can be absorbed infinitely like a sponge. But in training, Qiu Yike is meticulous, absolutely will use the highest standards to demand Shasha, and when doing off-field, he will also reflect his love for Sasha in many details.
Sasha got freedom at Qiu Yike that no other player could enjoy. That's why the full potential and energy can be tapped. After Qiu Yike took over Shasha, he began to break out after a half-year running-in period. Sasha achieved the brilliant achievements of the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, the Macao Championship and the Xinxiang World Cup Triple Crown in the second half of 2022. In the first half of 2023, it will achieve the great cause of winning the Singapore Grand Slam women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, and the Durban World Table Tennis Championships women's singles and mixed doubles. Sasha has now secured the world's No. 1 throne and basically locked in the qualification to represent the national table tennis to participate in the Paris Olympic Games.
Sasha's ability to achieve such brilliant results is inseparable from her talent and hard work. However, without Qiu Yike's help, Shasha's development may not be so smooth. Qiu Yike is not only Sun Yingsha's coach, but also more like Shasha's father, and like Shasha's buddy and friend. The cooperation between their master and apprentice can be called a model of national pingping.
In fact, Qiu Yi not only focused on Shasha, but his subordinates Sun Mingyang, Qu Man, Li Yake and so on have made great progress. This dinner on the eve of Father's Day should be Sun Yingsha and several other disciples celebrating the festival in advance for Qiu Yike. Qiu Yike was responsible enough and was respected and loved by his apprentices. Sun Yingsha and other players are good and hard working, and Qiu Yike will also do her best to cultivate. This is also a picture that fans are very willing to see.
Here's a thumbs up for Sun Yingsha and other team members, and I also wish Qiu Yike a happy Father's Day!
