Yang Wei: It is very important for Su Weide to adjust his mentality, and he must face his mistakes correctly

Regain your confidence and go to the top

——Remembering the setbacks and revitalization of Chinese gymnast Su Weide

Ups and downs are the norm in life, and this is especially true for athletes. On the field, a single mistake can kill the gold medal dream, but whether or not you can learn from the failure, bounce back and move towards higher goals requires the courage and wisdom of the players themselves.

In the men's gymnastics team final of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team led all the way, but unfortunately lost at the last critical moment. Among them, the young player Su Weide made two mistakes in the horizontal bar event, adding to the obstacles for the Chinese team to win gold. After the game, former Chinese player Yang Wei put forward some valuable suggestions for Su Weide's situation: first, there must be a good external environment and get everyone's support; Second, we must correctly adjust our mentality, face up to mistakes, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. This undoubtedly pointed out the way forward for Su Weide.

Su Weide has already had an excellent performance in the gymnastics world before, and in the team preliminaries of this Olympic Games, he contributed key points to the Chinese team with his outstanding performance. However, a mistake in the final caused him to fall into a huge loss. In the face of such a blow, how should he get out of the haze, regain his self-confidence, and achieve a breakthrough?

1. Recognize the root causes of mistakes and learn lessons from them

Any mistake does not happen by chance. Su Weide made two mistakes on the horizontal bar, and the reasons may be as follows:

Excessive psychological stress. As a rookie of the younger generation, Su Weide made his Olympic debut and shouldered the heavy responsibility of winning glory for the country. Coupled with the crucial moments in the team competition, he will inevitably feel a lot of pressure. Excessive tension can easily lead to limited performance and even mistakes.

The action technique is unstable. Gymnastics strives for perfection, and every movement needs to be perfected. Although Su Weide has performed well in previous matches, his skills still need to be further consolidated. Under pressure, it is inevitable that there will be imbalances or loss of control.

Poor preparation for war. Gymnastics is an extremely demanding sport for training and preparation, and it is not enough to have a momentary enthusiasm. Perhaps Su Weide's training needs to be strengthened in some areas in order to perform at his best level at the most critical moments.

Through an in-depth analysis of the root causes of the mistakes, Su Weide should not only learn the lessons of this time, but also find his own shortcomings and make targeted improvements. Only in this way can we better cope with the pressure in the future competitions and perform at the level they deserve.

2. Adjust your mentality and stay positive and optimistic

In the face of setbacks, it is crucial to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. As Yang Wei said, Su Weide "must face everything correctly, no matter how you make mistakes, the sun will rise normally tomorrow".

First, learn to accept mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, it's human nature. The key is to have the courage to admit your mistakes, not to run away or give up on yourself. Su Weide should objectively recognize his own shortcomings, instead of overly blaming himself or giving up on himself.

Second, maintain an optimistic and positive attitude. Mistakes are temporary, but regaining confidence and morale is the long-term solution. Su Weide should face failure with an open mind, learn from it, and firmly forge ahead towards the goal. As Yang Wei said, "the sun will rise normally tomorrow", failure does not mean the end of life, but the only way to success.

Furthermore, it is necessary to gain the understanding and support of others. As Yang Wei said, "Whether it is the support of the audience, the support of his teammates, or the support of the coach within the team, it is very important." The encouragement and support from the people around him can help him regain his self-confidence and start anew.

In short, Su Weide needs to face up to his mistakes with a positive attitude, learn from them, and get the understanding and support of those around him. Only then will he be able to regain his confidence, regain his fighting spirit, and show better performances in future competitions to achieve his dreams.

3. Comprehensively enhance strength and pursue higher goals

For a gymnast, mental adjustment alone is not enough. In order to achieve better results in future competitions, Su Weide also needs to work hard in many aspects such as special technology and physical training to comprehensively improve his strength.

Under the guidance of the coach, he should continue to study the essentials of movements, improve the stability and coordination of movements, and strive to achieve excellence.

Continuous deepening of physical training. Gymnastics requires a lot of physical fitness from athletes, and it is not enough to rely on technique, but also to have strong physical support. Under the guidance of the coach, Su Weide should formulate a more scientific training plan and continue to improve his physical fitness level in terms of explosiveness, strength, and flexibility.

Further cultivation of psychological qualities. So's mistake in the team competition shows that his mental quality needs to be further improved in the face of great pressure. Under the guidance of a coach, he should learn to better regulate his emotions, increase his self-awareness and self-confidence, and stay calm and focused under pressure.

Accumulation of competition experience. As a rookie, Su Weide lacked major tournament experience, which was a big reason for this mistake. In the future, he should try his best to participate in more high-level competitions to sharpen his willpower and adaptability, so that he can better play at critical moments.

Based on the above aspects, Su Weide should formulate a comprehensive and systematic training plan, and under the guidance of the coach, continue to improve his special technical level, physical fitness and psychological quality, and accumulate more competition experience. Only then will he be able to really show his quality in future competitions and pursue higher goals.

Fourth, regain confidence and create brilliance

Through an in-depth analysis of the root causes of his mistakes, adjusting his mentality, and comprehensively improving his professional strength, Su Weide will be able to regain his self-confidence, start again, and show his ambitions in future competitions.
