Can 20 million smash out a "Zheng Qinwen"? Witnessing the cost of sports, I was silent...
01
Yesterday I read an article, which is very interesting, about Zheng Qinwen's parents.
The article says that Zheng Qinwen's parents are legendary!
For his daughter's tennis, her father invested an estimated more than 20 million yuan.
Zheng Qinwen has arranged a "high-matching" version of the coach since he was a child.
For example, in the enlightenment stage, the coach that Zheng's father found for his daughter was Li Na's former enlightenment coach.
Later, after Zheng Qinwen played the results, he found the famous tennis coach Carlos for the child.
This Carlos is not simple, he is the coach of Li Na who won the Australian Open championship that year, and he is the world's top coach!
And in order to find this good coach, it costs more than 600,000 a year.
After Zheng Qinwen enters the youth competition, he will build his own team, including coaches, sports scientists, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc., with a cost of 3 million yuan a year, and the cost before and after is as high as 20 million.
After reading that article, especially after the number of 20 million appeared, I couldn't help but gasp!

When I went to bed at night, I talked to my mother about Zheng Qinwen's father, and she suddenly reminded me of a sentence -
"Don't we have such a dad around us!"
"Yes", that sentence suddenly reminded me of a friend I met 10 years ago.
It was when Han Han was about 5 years old, I sent Han Han to play football, and I met a Chinese father at that time, and his son and Han Han happened to be on the same team.
Although the two children are the same age, his son's ball skills will obviously be one level higher than Hanhan's.
At first I thought it was just his son who played football earlier, but then I realized that it wasn't quite like that!
Rather, the father found a personal trainer for his son to mentor one-on-one.
We play football in that club, train twice a week and play once on the weekend, which means I have to lay football on my kids three days a week.
3 days a week, I thought it was hard enough!
But I didn't expect that this father's strength was even greater!
Every week, he hires a football coach to tutor his son one-on-one, and each tutoring takes more than an hour.
A year later, he and I went down different paths.
My son didn't like to play, so we gave up.
But that friend's son was selected for a professional football club and played as a main player.
After 8 years, I met him again, and this time we were not just talking about a son, but a daughter!
Because, his daughter played tennis, and it happened that my daughter was also playing tennis, so we could learn from each other again.
It was only after chatting with him for a few words that I realized that I was not in the same rank as him at all!
My family plays tennis purely for outdoor sports, for fun.
So I randomly found a tennis class near my home, and one coach in each class led a dozen students, and each time I trained the children, I couldn't play a few balls.
My friend, on the other hand, rushed to get results from the beginning.
The coaches my friend is looking for are all gold medal coaches of famous school teams, and the coaching fee for one-on-one training is 200 US dollars (about 1500 yuan) per hour.
Then every once in a while, you have to take the baby to fly around and play games in various places!
The cost of hiring a coach alone is estimated to be about 80,000 yuan every year, plus he flies around with his daughter to play games, air tickets and accommodation are great expenses.
Therefore, I estimate that he will have to invest 20,000 US dollars, about 150,000 yuan, just in his daughter's tennis project a year!
Therefore, his daughter is now the main force of the school team tennis, and his son is also the main force of the professional football club, and both children are very good, which has a lot to do with the huge investment of friends!

Seeing the story of Zheng Qinwen's father, I couldn't help but think of my friend.
In fact, after so many years of taking the baby, I have enrolled in a lot of interest classes for the baby, and looking at the stories of those friends around me, I have slowly gained a lot of insights.
Many parents hope that their children can achieve results, just like Zheng Qinwen, and the projects they participate in can have good results.
I think that whether a child can produce results depends on the child's talent and hard work on the one hand, and on the other hand, the dedication of the parents behind it is also essential.
And the contribution of parents occupies a vital role!
01
The first point
Can you discover the child's talent?
Every child has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the sooner parents discover their child's talent and can focus on this talent, the more likely the child will be to achieve results.
One of the first mistakes I made in Hanhan was that I thought my son was a "genius"!
Because every time I take my son to participate in an interest class, the teachers and coaches will praise my son for being good and learning well, and Hanhan is also very happy, saying that he likes the project very much.
At that moment, I had the illusion that -
The son is an all-powerful genius! There's talent in every project!
In fact, when I think about it later, the teacher's praise is sometimes just a motivation to encourage the child to learn, and it does not mean that the child really has any extraordinary talent.
Talent needs to be carefully observed by parents in the child's learning process, such as his physical fitness, reaction ability, and learning understanding, which are all manifestations of talent.
The sooner parents discover their children's talents, the sooner they make the trade-offs in interest classes, and the sooner they focus on the strengths, the more likely it is that their children will achieve results!

The second point
Parents' integrated screening of resources
Nowadays, there are too many resources on the market, such as books, courses, institutions, coaches, and children engaged in any project, they can find a lot of resources by searching on the Internet.
So what exactly to choose? How to choose? This one is really exquisite.
For example, Zheng Qinwen's father directly asked Coach Li Na to enlighten his children, and my friend directly asked the school team coach to practice tennis for his children, and they were very targeted in the selection and integration of resources.
Of course, a certain amount of economic strength is an indispensable element, but money is not everything.
You know, those top good coaches and good teachers have no shortage of students.
Sometimes, even if you give it to him with a money bag, he will not necessarily accept your child if he does not meet the requirements.
I heard before that Zheng Qinwen's father pulled the child directly in order to let the coach accept his daughter, and the whole family knelt down for the coach.
Therefore, it is also an ability to be able to find good teachers, coaches, institutions, and make them willing to take your child as an apprentice.

The third point
Systematic planning of parents for their children
If parents find their children's interests and talents, then later planning is crucial.
This plan is embodied in the following: you have to create a learning path for your child!
- For example, what should I learn at what stage?
- At what stage should the learning objectives be set?
- What kind of resources and what kind of teachers to use at what stage?
- ……
These are very particular.
Like my friend, he planned early on for his son to play football and his daughter to play tennis. He knows what coach to find, how many times a week to train and what games to play.
Therefore, he will take many detours less than others.
When I was still in the stage of learning to play and increase my interest in my child, my friend had already given his child into systematic planning and learning, so his child would be better than his peers.
Therefore, planning for children is important. If it is well planned, then the child's learning will be very purposeful, and it will be easier for him to achieve results than others!
I remember that after Zheng Qinwen won the championship, someone said sourly:
"Zheng Qinwen can succeed, isn't it because her father has 20 million!"
Seeing comments like this, I want to slap over:
"Give you 20 million, can you cultivate a Zheng Qinwen?"
Money is a very important factor, but it is not a decisive condition!
- Can parents discover their children's talents early?
- Can resources be integrated and screened according to children's talents?
- Can you plan systematically in advance according to the characteristics of your child?
These are the prerequisites for a child to be able to produce grades.
If you cooperate with money in this process, with the child's hard work and self-drive, then the child's progress will be greater, and he will be able to gain happiness and self-confidence in the progress again and again!
