At the diving training hall in Zhanjiang, sunlight pours in through huge glass windows, illuminating the youthful space. It is the cradle of dreams and the place where family expectations are carried. Quan Jinpeng, a 14-year-old teenager, is now facing unprecedented challenges. By his side, his sister Quan Hongchan's brilliant achievements are like a dazzling light, always reminding him of his responsibilities and dreams. However, in this arena that belongs to young athletes, his path has not been smooth.
Sister and brother struggle
Quan Hongchan, the diving genius who won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics in one fell swoop, proved her strength and potential to the world with her performance. Not only did she build a solid foundation for her career, but she also brought glory to the entire family. As her biological brother, Quan Jinpeng has been influenced by his sister since he was a child, and his love for diving and desire for success are buried in his heart. Together with his sister Quan Red Hearts, in this sports family, he carries the family's ardent expectations for them.
However, achieving this dream is never easy. It often requires us to go through many difficulties, sweat a lot, and make a lot of efforts to achieve it. As he grew older, Quan Jinpeng devoted more time to training, and despite his hard work, he still felt at a loss on the road to the provincial team. Following behind his sister, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to catch up, he needed to pay not only sweat, but also wisdom and strategy. Although Quan Red Hearts is young, they also show good potential under the encouragement of their sister. The three of them, as if they are three stars whose fates are intertwined, shine on each other in this bustling and competitive sports circle.
Physical challenges
Adolescence has led to significant changes in the body, and Quan Jinpeng's height has grown rapidly, as if spring shoots have sprouted, demonstrating the vigorous power of life. Over the past few months, he has grown taller than many of his peers, and this unexpected shift has brought him a new challenge. The drastic physical changes forced him to readjust his diving technique and get used to the new center of gravity and body control. Coach Guo Yi found that Quan Jinpeng was clumsy in the process of adapting, and this kind of resistance from the inside out made him feel frustrated.
Faced with such a situation, Coach Guo Yi knew that it was difficult to cope with this change with existing skills and experience alone. He carefully guided Quan Jinpeng and helped him gradually explore the diving method that suited him. With his help, Quan Jinpeng continues to improve and is expected to make a name for himself in the field of diving. However, on the road of transforming technology, Quan Jinpeng felt more and more lonely. Every time he jumped, every time he spun, he could feel the burning gaze of the people around him, and the ever-widening gap in performance seemed to be constantly distorting the contours of his dreams.
Psychological stress
"Quan Hongchan's younger brother", this label is both glory and shackles. When he was a child, this identity may have made Quan Jinpeng feel a sense of superiority, but as he grew older, the pressure in his heart became heavier and heavier. Invisibly, the hopes of his family became heavier and heavier, especially when he saw his sister's achievements, he couldn't help but feel anxiety about contrast. As a result of this psychological pressure, he was distracted during training and even failed to reach his best performance in some competitions.
In the dead of night, he often recalls following his sister when he was a child. At that time, he was full of longing for diving, but now, this longing seems to be overwhelmed by silent expectations. Whenever he stands on the springboard, he can't help but fantasize that he can be like his sister and become that high-profile hero. But the reality often makes him bruised all over his body, and the uncertainty of the future in his heart is even more suffocating.
Achievements and gaps
At Zhanjiang Sports School, the results of practice are often shown in competitions. Every time Quan Jinpeng appears, the audience's eyes can't help but compare with Quan Hongchan. On this competitive stage, results are seen as everything. However, compared to his sister's, his grades are so small, almost zero, that he can completely ignore them. The elder sister's gold medal shined in front of everyone's eyes, and every mistake of the younger brother seemed to be magnified, almost drowning in joy.
Jeon also tried to close the gap with hard work, but the outstanding physical changes combined with the psychological pressure made it difficult for him to play at his true level in the competition. He knows that diving is not just a skill, but also a game of the heart. But in the face of the camera and the applauding audience, he could only grit his teeth and try to raise his arms high to greet the unknown self again.
Coach evaluation
Coach Guo Yi's attention to Quan Jinpeng has never decreased, but in the face of the current situation, his inner anxiety and helplessness have become more and more obvious. As Quan Hongchan's enlightenment coach, he knows how important the combination of skills and physical ability is. After witnessing Jeon Jinpeng's struggles, Guo Yi began to worry about his future: "If you can't adapt to this change as soon as possible, you will probably lose the opportunity to qualify for the provincial team." ”
The coach often has in-depth exchanges with Quan Jinpeng in addition to training, trying to analyze the problem from a psychological perspective. He hopes to replace pressure with encouragement, so that Quan Jinpeng can treat every training and competition with peace of mind. He understands that faith and enthusiasm are the most important motivators. For Quan Jinpeng, the key is how to find his true rhythm during this adjustment period and appear in the future arena in the best condition.
Diving requirements
Whether it is a national team or a provincial team, the selection criteria for divers are extremely strict. In this rainy season, Quan Jinpeng seems to be trapped in an invisible river, swimming forward day after day but it is difficult to see the other side of hope. Because of this, he knows that he must face these challenges in order to earn his own accolades.
In this context, Quan Jinpeng has been working hard to find his own characteristics. He knows that the secret of success is often hidden in those small details: flips in the air, entry angles, psychological qualities...... All of this takes time to be honed. His heart is full of anticipation for the future, as well as reflections on the past. From time to time, he thought about his sister's upbringing, and secretly thought to himself about how to find his own path.
Quan Hongchan's road to success
Quan Hongchan's success is not accidental. The outside world often ignores the hardships behind it, but they don't know that she has experienced many setbacks and challenges. All kinds of past are the grinds on her way forward, but few people know about them. Quan Jinpeng understands that the road of growth must be full of thorns, and only by straightening his waist and facing difficulties can he get out of his own world. Whenever the picture changes, his sister's proud demeanor on the podium emerges, and an inexplicable strength always emerges in his heart - it is an encouragement to himself, but also a kind of determination.
At present, Quan Jinpeng needs to find his own path to success on this unknown road. Although the fog ahead, his belief is like a rock, and he will be able to break the waves and get what he wants. He is eager to break through the shackles and meet every challenge; At the same time, he also knows that he can't just cling to his sister's aura, he must open up a new sky and write his own legend.
Support and encouragement
With the support of the whole family, even though the road ahead is bumpy, Quan Jinpeng can still deeply feel the encouragement from all sides. His parents, coaches, and sisters, all of them were cheering him on, hoping that he would grow up in the face of adversity and become a powerful force. Their companionship and trust are like the brilliant starlight, illuminating his way forward.
You are not Quan Hongchan's brother, but Quan Jinpeng. The identities of the two should not be confused, and it must be clear that you are Quan Jinpeng. These are the words that Coach Guo Yi often repeats. He reminded Quan Jinpeng to believe in himself and be brave to be himself, and the real legend comes from sincerity and hard work. When Quan Jinpeng struggled in the waves, he took a deep breath and admonished himself to learn to be calm and be the best version of himself.
In this process, although fear and frustration are always accompanied, Quan Jinpeng gradually gets used to this kind of life. He understands that the only way to overcome difficulties and realize his dreams is to persevere. Perhaps, in the near future, a new dawn will illuminate his journey, and his glorious moments will eventually bloom quietly in this long struggle.
