When reading Li Na's "Playing Alone", Li Na's explanation of the title of the book is impressive: tennis is a lonely sport, when you play alone, you start a one-man battle, you need to face all the problems alone, solve all the difficulties alone; at the same time, tennis is a challenging sport, every day is a new challenge full of excitement... Although football is a team sport, but the loneliness on the road of football learning is known only to the players, Gao Jingchun has experienced this loneliness since he was a child, but fortunately football is a sport that is both interesting and challenging, and it is the charm of football that makes him forget this loneliness and move forward firmly on the road of football.
Gao Jingchun's father is a veteran fan, and Gao Jingchun can be said to have grown up watching his father play football on the side of the court. However, at that time, Gao Jingchun did not show a special interest in football, after going to elementary school, after playing on the court by chance, Gao Jingchun fell deeply in love with the sport of football.
Gao Jingchun's father still remembers the scene when the child learned to play, and one day in the third grade, Gao Jingchun suddenly said to his father: "Dad, I want to play football." At that time, After hearing it, Mr. Gao was surprised and happy, surprised at how his child unconsciously fell in love with football, happy that the child had the same hobby as him, and playing football can not only exercise the child's body but also temper the child's personality, so that he can develop a spirit of hard-working and unity and cooperation.
Mr. Gao said to his son: "Child, playing football is bitter, we can't be hot for three minutes, since the kick is going to kick out a look, can you bear the pain of kicking football?" ”
Little Gao Jingchun replied firmly: "I can bear hardships, I want to play football!" At that time, there was no professional coach in Gao Jingchun's school, in order to allow children to learn football more professionally and systematically, Mr. Gao found his brother-in-law who was a coach in the youth club, that is, Gao Jingchun's uncle. Gao Jingchun's uncle has been engaged in the football youth training industry for decades, and it is in their club that the famous Tianjin player Zhang Xiaorui began to learn to play. At that time, Gao Jingchun's uncle was working as a school football teacher at Peace Central Elementary School, and Mr. Gao sent his children there to study.

Mr. Gao and his wife are busy at work, and even on weekends, they rarely have time to rest. Eight- and nine-year-old Gao Jingchun gets up at five or six o'clock every morning, and his father takes him to the stadium to practice basic skills such as dribbling, passing, passing, etc. Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, Gao Jingchun, who attends half-day classes, after lunch, carries football equipment alone from Binhai New Area to take more than two hours of bus and light rail to Peace Center Primary School for football training.
After completing more than two hours of training, Gao Jingchun took another two-hour car home, and every Saturday when there was a game, Gao Jingchun lived in his uncle's house, and after playing football and training for more than two hours, Gao Jingchun could return home. Referring to this experience, Mr. Gao's tone is also quite emotional. At that time, the child was so young, which parents could not worry, but in order to let the children grow up on the road of football, Mr. Gao still chose to let the children be independent.

After two or three years of hard training, Gao Jingchun's football skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. As a parent, Mr. Gao also hopes that his children will have a bigger stage to continue to improve, luneng youth training is one of the best youth training institutions in China, so Mr. Gao decided to take his children to Luneng youth training trials.
Referring to this experience, Gao Jingchun's father still has a deep memory: I took my child to Weifang at that time, I returned to Tianjin four days later because of work, and half a month later I returned to the football school again, and the first thing jingchun said to me after meeting was 'Dad, I really want to play football here', at that time I was very touched in my heart, and I made up my mind to send my child to Luneng to learn ball.
After the school started in September 2015, 11-year-old Gao Jingchun was sent to Luneng Football School by his parents, and he once again embarked on a new journey alone. Perhaps he has long been accustomed to learning ball alone, and the independent Gao Jingchun quickly adapted to the life of Luneng Football School.
Perhaps the only thing that does not adapt is that from the original team main force to the substitute, which gave Gao Jingchun a huge psychological gap, at that time Gao Jingchun often called his father to complain, Gao Jingchun's father was also a good temptation to his children, using the example of European and American stars to let children face the gap and train hard. Under the guidance of his father, the life mentor, Gao Jingchun, who has a cheerful personality, finally became the main force of the team through unremitting training.

Although the mouth is relaxed, after sending the child to Luneng Football School, Gao Jingchun's father is not used to it at all. Because of professional reasons, Mr. Gao only has half a day of rest time every week, before the child goes to the football school, Mr. Gao often watches and plays football with his son, when the child goes to luneng football school, Mr. Gao has been accustomed to the life of the child for half a year.
Whenever he thought about his children, he would take out a collection of children's kicking videos to watch, over and over again, but he couldn't see enough. Until August 2018, this time Mr. Gao remembered very clearly, the Wuhan Invitational, Gao Jingchun was first called up to the U14 national team, and in the second game against Malaysia, Gao Jingchun scored his first goal of national name. Mr. Gao told me that he was a million times happier to see this goal than to see Messi score it.

This year, because of the epidemic, Gao Jingchun rarely had such a long time to spend with his parents. In the course of my communication with Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao was very happy when I mentioned the days of the epidemic.
He told me that it was rare to have such a long time with children in the past, during this time I and my children not only play football, but also exchanged a lot about the future career: first of all, we have to continue to fight for professional dreams, since we have embarked on the road of football, we must work hard for the goals of professional players, we must maintain self-discipline and continuous pay for the dream; second, we must always maintain humility and low profile, learn from Messi and other five major league stars, do not forget the original intention; the third is to resist the temptation, In the past, Tianjin player Liu Yunfei was a good goalkeeper, because he could not resist the temptation and buried his great career.
In terms of educating children, Mr. Gao is like a life mentor, paying great attention to the dredging and guidance of children's behavior and thinking.
