Six members of the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team walked on campus.
The deep outer rhythmic gymnastics team finished the competition with zero errors.
Yang Xiaojing, the captain of the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team, said that in order to complete a perfect movement, it may take at least a thousand practice.
With the advent of summer vacation, some college entrance examination students in Shenzhen have traveled all over the motherland, and some have begun to plan for future university life in advance... Recently, Yang Xiaojing, a graduate of Longhua High School of Shenzhen Foreign Chinese School (Group), has successfully completed a period of rhythmic gymnastics training life in her university.
According to the relevant person in charge of Longhua High School of Shenzhen Foreign Chinese School (Group), Yang Xiaojing was the captain of the school's rhythmic gymnastics team. At the beginning of this year, the "magical school team" of the Shenwai Artistic Gymnastics Team won the team silver medal in the largest rhythmic gymnastics event in the country with outstanding performance without errors, and all members of the team won the title of "National First-class Athletes". Why is this a "magical varsity team"? Because these beautiful girls who shone on the stage were all cultural students with zero foundation in gymnastics, captain Yang Xiaojing even suspected that he was not the material for practicing rhythmic gymnastics. So, how did these Shenzhen girls go from zero foundation to zero mistakes, defeat many professional players across the country, and transform amazingly?
01
Longing for a sparkling self on stage The initial choice was opposed by his parents
The Shenwai Artistic Gymnastics Team is composed of Yang Xiaojing, Zhou Ziyu, Zhang Huiru, Liu Jiahui, Xiao Jia, Zhang Lin, 6 multi-talented, young and beautiful female high school students, Chinese dance, cheerleading, aerobics, Latin dance, piano, etc., are their talents. Three years ago, these six girls were admitted to Longhua High School of Shenzhen Foreign Chinese School (Group) with excellent cultural class results, coinciding with the school's establishment of the school gymnastics team, and selected these freshmen with dance foundation.
At first, their desire to join the gymnastics team was opposed by their parents, because because with their academic results, if they fully studied cultural classes in three years of high school, it was no surprise that they should be able to enter an ideal university.
But Yang Xiaojing, who has studied dance since she was a child and has a strong interest in gymnastics, does not want to give up this rare opportunity, she said: "Firmly choosing rhythmic gymnastics is to yearn for her sparkling self on stage." At the beginning of the training of the girls with zero foundation, the captain Yang Xiaojing was the worst physical flexibility in the team, and every time she would be used as the focus of observation of flexibility, in her opinion, those 3 minutes were always as long as a year. "It's so painful, I wash my face with tears every day, and I once suspected that I was not the material to practice this." Yang Xiaojing said.
Why are you so strict with this group of amateurs when training? Guan Xin, coach of the Shenwai Artistic Gymnastics Team, believes that "opportunities are for those who are prepared, and if you relax the requirements off the court, you are not fully prepared, and when the opportunity comes to you, you may not be able to seize it." Guan Xin used to be a professional coach of the Guangdong Provincial Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, and she required the girls of the deep and foreign rhythmic gymnastics team to be professional athletes, and also tailored weight standards for everyone, and once overweight, they had to be punished by going to the playground to run laps and increasing the intensity of training.

One move has to be practiced thousands of times, and there are no mistakes to win a national medal
During the first provincial competition, the girls of the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team were amazed by the wonderful performance of the other rhythmic gymnasts on the field: their beautiful posture and dexterous movements made them more determined to achieve their goals. In that competition, they were all awarded the title of "National Second-class Athletes" with full preparation and a high degree of tacit cooperation with the team, and obtained the qualification for college single recruitment.
This spring, the National Youth Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships were held in Chongqing, with 133 teams and more than 1,000 athletes from primary schools to universities from all over the country participating. Among the participating teams of many professional sports colleges, as an amateur team in ordinary high schools, the Shenwai Artistic Gymnastics Team won the team silver medal in the junior championship and the fourth place in the collective three-ball and two-rope with excellent performance without errors! All six members of the representative team won the title of "national first-class athletes".
Yang Xiaojing sighed after the game, "What is the so-called zero error, but all the mistakes were tested in advance at the beginning." "Because in terms of time, physical strength and energy, the girls of the deep rhythmic gymnastics team have made great contributions. Since the beginning of high school, they have trained until late every day, training all day at school on Saturdays, and the winter and summer holidays have been compressed into a short time, and they all return to school with their senior year.
At first, the girls also had a lot of complaints, "I lost a lot of time to play, and occasionally I felt like I had a big long vacation." "Spending their spare time on rhythmic gymnastics, over time, the girls' love of rhythmic gymnastics also became professional.
"I'm sorry for paying so much if I don't make some achievements"! Yang Xiaojing recalled that rhythmic gymnastics seemed difficult to complete, but if you practice more, it can still be done, and in order to complete a perfect movement, it may take at least thousands of exercises, "But looking back at my own efforts, although it was very painful at that time, the picture of everyone training together in my mind was all happy." ”

Gymnastics hones will and patience Girls are more confident and optimistic
Yang Xiaojing recalled after winning the award that in fact, everyone did not have so strong confidence at the beginning, because they felt that they were more amateur, and they might be much worse than majors, but in the end, they found that "it seems that we will do better than many sports schools."
Of course, the achievement of collective honor is inseparable from everyone's hard work, and even more inseparable from everyone's tacit cooperation. And this tacit understanding was laid from the beginning. According to Xu Pei, the leader of the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team, the girls in this team, they are teammates during training, and in their usual life, they are friends, classmates, roommates, mutual trust, and the emotional foundation is very solid.
"Everyone is willing to listen to me, and I think I'm pretty good." When Yang Xiaojing usually trains, she will correct when she sees problems with the movements of the team members, and when she encounters the emotional trough of the team members, she will do psychological construction for everyone, and everyone will work together towards a goal.
In Xu Pei's view, some girls may feel tired when they bask in the sun or run, but these girls in the gymnastics team, training-related injuries are common to them. "Sport has brought them closer to each other, developed an optimistic and open personality, and will have more courage to face injuries and difficulties." She said.
Rhythmic gymnastics honed their will and patience, and made them more confident, team member Zhou Ziyu said: "No matter how sad it is to cry off the field, but as soon as you go on the field, when the action is ready, when the music is playing, you still have to smile and face it." What I usually think is difficult, I have more perseverance to complete, and after practicing rhythmic gymnastics, I feel that learning is not so hard. ”
Interestingly, rhythmic gymnastics also changed their living habits and developed the "sequelae" of receiving things. Team member Liu Jiahui said: "I want to throw everything when I get it. Yang Xiaojing said confidently: "Nothing will fall from our hands to the ground." ”

"Chasing the Light Girl" Personalized Development Dreams of a career in physical education
Although the girls of the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team changed from cultural students to sports students, they did not give up their cultural studies. Reciting words and texts while pressing their legs late at night, picking lights in the dormitory and fighting at night to catch up with homework are all their normal lives.
Xu Pei stressed that whether it is study or training, girls are very strict with themselves, and in order to balance study and training, they have to turn themselves into "time management masters". "Other students have free time or participate in interest classes after class at 4:30 p.m., but they use this time to train until about 6:30 p.m. in the morning and evening self-study, and they may take a 20-minute shower after the evening self-study. It was already 10:30 when I returned to the dormitory in the evening, and there was still a lot of homework to do by this time. They have a very tight schedule throughout the day, but they don't show up late for self-study and don't feel privileged because of rhythmic gymnastics. Xu Pei said.
Three years of tempering and one success, a hundred feet to write a chapter. This team, which has trained many outstanding rhythmic gymnasts only three years after its establishment, has become a representative practical achievement of Shenzhen's implementation of characteristic education and in-depth promotion of the integration of sports and education. As early as before this year's college entrance examination, four girls from the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team have passed the sports single-enrollment examination, and now they are about to start their university life at Central China Normal University, South China Normal University, Southwest University and Shenzhen University.
Xu Pei introduced that the sports single move is a national unified examination for students who are better at sports, including two parts: culture and sports. She believes that Shenzhen education is forward-looking, Shenzhen campus is very concerned about the personalized development of students, vigorously promote the integration of sports and education, "such as some emerging sports, as well as more niche sports such as rhythmic gymnastics in our school." In this way, students can have more options in the future. ”
Among them, the captain Yang Xiaojing was admitted to her favorite South China Normal University in advance, and she recently completed a period of rhythmic gymnastics training life at South China Normal University. Her dream is to become a rhythmic gymnastics teacher in school in the future. "In the future, I can open rhythmic gymnastics courses in the school where I teach, carry forward rhythmic gymnastics, and make it a slightly more popular project, so that everyone can understand this beautiful sport." She said.
In recent years, in order to build a high-quality "five educations" education system, Shenzhen campus has formed a joint force to educate people with beauty, cultivate morality with beauty, enlighten wisdom with beauty, delight with beauty, and strengthen the heart with beauty, and strive to provide every student with the opportunity to enjoy high-quality aesthetic education. Spinning and jumping, chasing the light all the way, every effort is a lucky foreshadowing. From zero foundation to winning the title of "national", the "chasing light girls" of the Shenwai rhythmic gymnastics team jumped out of the cultural and artistic confidence of Shenzhen's "City of Aesthetic Education", and also jumped out of the sportsmanship of never giving up!
