Cao Yanhua, a legend in the table tennis world, her ball skills are like cigarettes and alcohol in her life, with a style that does not follow common sense. Imagine that the opponents are often dazzled by the unique deceptive serve of this eldest sister on the court, how can they still pay attention to whether she lit a cigarette to celebrate the victory after the match?
Let's talk about the eldest sister's achievements first, 59 championships, doesn't it sound a little unreal? That's enough numbers to put any opponent off. But Cao's story is much more than just the numbers. Brought into the circle by her parents as a table tennis player since she was a child, she grew up almost at the table. Named for the national team at the age of 15, her skills were already impressive.
But don't think that she only eats by technique, her serving skills that give her opponents headaches, but she has practiced countless days and nights. The other party thought she was going to attack? No, she came with a light short fight that caught her opponent off guard. Cao Yanhua is like a magician on the court, always able to conjure up unexpected moves at critical moments.
Moreover, don't look at her usual smoking and drinking, these may affect the state of athletes in the eyes of many people, but they don't seem to have much impact on her. Her physical strength and stamina still leave many young fighters in the dust. This innate athletic talent and acquired hard training have made her a rare table tennis master.
Let's talk about her disciple Xu Xin. Under her guidance, this junior also showed good strength. Although Xu Xin failed to win the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, his performance still won people's respect. As a mentor, Cao Yanhua has a direct impact on his technique and competition strategy. She doesn't just teach her students skills, but more importantly, she teaches how to stay calm under pressure and how to find your opponent's weaknesses in the game.
Cao Yanhua's lifestyle is as eclectic as her style on the court. What she taught us is not only how to become a good table tennis player, but also how to find our own rhythm in life and not be swayed by the outside world.
To end up with this, do you still think that she is just an ordinary table tennis coach? Obviously not, Cao Yanhua is a real warrior, whether it is on the green table tennis table or on the road of life, she walks in her own way and firmly.
The notion that smoking and drinking affects athletes' performance seems to have been shattered by Cao. She proved with her own actions that the key is still to depend on personal will and hard work. It is undeniable that Cao Yanhua is indeed a unique existence.
As for her bewildered serve, it's a spectacle in the table tennis world. Sometimes you'll see her make a small movement, and the ball is like magic, making the opponent rush left and right, and scrambled. This is not only the embodiment of technology, but also the crystallization of wisdom and experience. Presumably, on the training ground, Cao Yanhua must be the kind of coach who is both strict and passionate, and it is not easy to teach this superb skill to students.
As for her lifestyle, one might say, how can this work? How can an athlete do that? But Cao Yanhua told us with her practical actions that the key depends on how the individual balances. Not only has she earned respect on the field, but she has also found her way in life. This eclecticism is probably one of the reasons why she is able to stand out in the competitive sports world.
Her story teaches us that everyone can have their own way of life, and it's important that you know how to take control of it all, how to enjoy life while maintaining your own demands and continuous improvement.
In short, Cao Yanhua is not only a master of table tennis, but also a master of life. Her story is full of inspiration and reminds us that there are many ways to excel and that the key is to find the one that suits you.
And Xu Xin, as her student, not only learned the technique, but more importantly, learned how to be like a fish in water on the field, which are all valuable experiences from Cao Yanhua.
Cao Yanhua's teaching and lifestyle are inspiring to each and every one of us. Whether you are a table tennis fan or not, her story tells us that at every stage of life, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself, keep challenging yourself, and find the most suitable way to live and work.
