Female "hunter" Zhao Ying: not afraid of questioning, persistent forward

The first time I saw Zhao Ying was in the early morning after the snow in Shenyang: she was wearing a plain sweatshirt, perming a fashionable Korean egg curl, and her height of about one meter and six meters was not tall among girls. On first impressions, it's hard to associate her with a sport as exciting as American football. However, it is this seemingly petite girl who breaks through people's doubts with her persistence and sweat and wins a place for herself in the fierce arena.

Earn respect with your actions

"When I was in high school, I saw a movie called The Longest Yard, and I first learned about the existence of American football. The passion and team spirit of the sport has always fascinated me." After learning of the existence of the Shenyang Hunters, Zhao Ying did not hesitate to choose to join this American football team.

Despite having good physical fitness and a foundation in rugby, integrating into a men's American football team is not an easy task for a girl. The team members did not expect much from her performance while they were happy, and some people in the outside world thought that Zhao Ying was just "playing tickets" or seeking attention.

"My personality belongs to the more serious and determined, once I decide to do something, I must do it well." Zhao Ying thought so after deciding to join the Hunters, and in fact she did the same.

From the first formal training, Zhao Ying was the first to arrive at the training ground almost every time. In physical training, Zhao Ying often rushes to the forefront, and her training results are even better than some male team members. When she encountered difficulties in the special training of cornerbacks, she took the initiative to communicate with coaches and communicate with the players, while making up for NFL games to learn more experience in the limited time. During the two-hour training, Zhao Ying went all out in every subject, the sweat could not stop flowing in the helmet, and the tights under the shoulder armor were often all soaked.

Zhao Ying's desperate attitude not only gradually won the respect of his teammates but also won the recognition of foreign teacher Phil. In the team's opening match, she appeared as the starting cornerback and blocked the opponent's passing cooperation at a key moment, making an important contribution to the team's final victory.

After "taking off his armor and removing his armor", he is a master chef who loves to travel

Outside the venue, Zhao Ying, like many girls, has a special love for food and cooking. When referring to the dishes she is good at, Zhao Ying said that she often cooks for her teammates in high school, and a small chicken stewed mushroom has received countless praise.

In addition to cooking, Zhao Ying has another big hobby: travel. "Since high school, I have told my friends that I want to work together to earn money and then go out to travel together." Since high school vacations were all occupied by training, this dream was not really realized until college. In order to earn enough money to travel to Beijing, Zhao Ying and her friends used their vacation time to work as waiters in the farm yard of the tourist area, to work as a salesman in the mall, and also to work as a car model at the auto show. When the final trip to Beijing was successfully realized, Zhao Ying's psychology was very satisfied: "We went to many iconic attractions in Beijing together, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Nanluoguxiang and so on. More importantly, the cost of this trip was all earned by ourselves, and we did not need the sponsorship of our parents at all."

In the future, in addition to studying and living in rugby, Zhao Ying also hopes to go to more places with her friends and see more beautiful scenery through her own efforts.
