Chapter 31 The future is up to you to fight for
On the side of the runway of the stadium, Lin Mu sat casually on the ground, the ground was covered in dust and didn't care at all. He was quietly waiting for the students to speak!
Not far away, several other teachers and other sports students did not go to train anymore and surrounded them faintly. Many of the things just now had a little impact on them, and they were very interested in listening to how Lin Mu taught them.
"Haha? No one answered?" Lin Mu suddenly spoke and asked again.
He was "coerced" by several classmates' eyes, and there was no way. Jiang Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Coach, I think they run very fast. If they are a little older, they may run faster than me! As for the others..."
Speaking of this, I felt a little embarrassed. My face was a little hot. He was 17 years old and several children were only 13 years old!
Lin Mu smiled loudly. Just as he was about to speak, he felt that there were more people around him.
He looked around and almost shocked him. Three teachers and more than 10 students were almost all around at this time, vaguely surrounding him, as if he was waiting for his class!
Lin Mu said helplessly: "Several teachers and classmates, what are you doing?"
The onlookers laughed, and the laughing scene made the atmosphere look much more lively.
As the leader, Xu Zhongqi first came to smooth things over: "Teacher Lin, a few children have just finished running. Now we are just taking a break and want to hear you teach students. Although the projects are different, we can also learn some experience. Haha!"
Lin Mu didn't care anymore and nodded with a smile. He couldn't sit on the ground anymore, stood up and walked to the side of the runway, almost faintly becoming a group of students to stop.
I looked at the stadium wall in the distance, and the campus of No. 1 Middle School separated by a wall was faintly vaguely after school, the noise of the campus after school could still be heard from time to time.
At this time, Lin Mu spoke, and as soon as he said it, he hit them.
"We won't talk about technology today because you have no technology in running. I just asked you to see a few of your juniors run. I just told you that the gap between you is still very big, and it is also very big with those who have only studied for more than 20 days!"
Lin Mu's words made the students feel ashamed and embarrassed the original teacher!
As if he felt that his words had a wider impact, Lin Mu was also a little surprised and looked at the teachers apologetically. The teachers were not really angry, but just felt embarrassed about their face. Lin Mu apologized, and they could accept it. They seemed to wave their hands casually and smiled!
"It's not too early today, so I'll just say a long story short. Let me ask you a question first? Do you have poor academic performance in this physical education? Do you want to go to college like this?"
Several students didn't say anything, including other sports students, but they told Lin Mu from their expressions that this is the case.
"Well! Your ideas are correct. If you have poor grades, or if you have barely scored, you want to go to a university or even a good university. Studying physical education is indeed a way. We teachers, including you, hope you can! But to be honest, your path is a bit difficult!"
"Uh..." The students felt that they were hit again. Even Xu Zhongqi was a little anxious. He was afraid that Lin Mu would beat the students, so that would be bad!
Xu Zhongqi wanted to say something, but Lin Mu nodded and asked him to swallow the words back. Forget it, let's see what Xiaolin said.
Lin Mu continued to ask: "Excluding these reasons, do you like sports? Do you like running? Do you like shot put?..."
A circle of students was asked casually by Lin Mu, but they pointed to the question directly inside, and they were a little nervous. They had never thought about this question.
In their consciousness, they practice sports to have the opportunity to make up for the disadvantages of cultural courses. Perhaps it is their only way. Sometimes, sometimes participating in competitions on behalf of classes, schools, and even counties can allow them to get cheers and applause from their classmates during the competitions, so that they can find their own sense of existence.
After all, students who are ordinary and even poorer in their studies are really dispensable in the eyes of ordinary teachers and classmates, and they even have a little disgusted!
But that is limited to that stage. Once the competition is over and after returning to school, everything returns to the starting point. The teacher's ignorance and the students' contempt are fiercely stuck in their hearts. Sometimes they choose to be irritable, but to no avail. It may only lead to a worse situation. They can only continue to practice, as if they are hoping for the next cycle.
As for whether they can really pass this way to get into college, they have not thought about it carefully, and they are already a little afraid to think about some things!
"Haha, classmates, it's no big deal. Don't look down on yourself. I didn't think about it before, so think about it now. There are those in the second year of high school, those in the third year of high school, and even those in the first year of high school and junior high school. Everyone still has time.
Each of us actually has our own advantages. To make up for our weaknesses and to amplify our advantages, we have opportunities, but everything depends on your own firmness and determination! We teachers can teach you knowledge, but what we can learn depends on you to work hard on your own!
This is the case with cultural courses, and even more so with sports! In the future, you must strive for yourself, find the right goals, firmly set goals, and ultimately strive to achieve the goals!"
Lin Mu's voice gradually increased, and it hit their hearts in a burst. In fact, the teachers in the main class often said these words to the seedlings of cultural courses over and over again. However, compared with them, physical education students, it was very rare.
Including these teachers who trained them, they just gave it a brief taste. Maybe they also thought that the final hope would not be great. It seems that they are just routine practices!
"Many of you know me, but maybe some don't know it! My matter is actually very simple. What is the situation?" Lin Mu seemed to ask inadvertently, but without waiting for their answer, he continued to speak on his own.
"I am now a physical education teacher, an athlete before. I studied at our No. 1 Middle School for half a year, then entered the county team, then the city team, and finally entered the provincial team. In the 2001 National Games, I won the second place in the 400 meters of the National Games, which is a good result! I was thinking about joining the national team in the future and even participating in international competitions. But I was seriously injured and retired soon! Haha."
When talking about his own affairs, it seemed like he was talking about passers-by, but most people could hear the bitterness in the words.
Without paying attention to others' expressions, Lin Mu was still saying to himself: "My family is poor, and I didn't have compulsory education when I went to school. Every year, as long as my brother and I start school, it will be a disaster at home.
The cost of my two children to go to school is my father’s two-month salary. For the sake of tuition, the whole family has to save money and pay off their foreign debts in two or three months. Before they could catch their breath, the second school starts again, and a new debt repayment begins!
My brother and I have bad academic performance. In fact, we don’t want to continue studying anymore. How can we get better? We really don’t want to watch our parents whisper to ask others for tuition. We feel very uncomfortable. But we don’t dare to mention it, because we know that if we ask, our parents’ disappointed eyes will make us feel even more heartbroken.
But it’s not too bad. My brother failed the high school entrance examination and came out to work early! I like running and jumping in elementary school. By chance, a coach from the county team discovered that he was taken to the county sports team when he was in the first year of junior high school. From that time on, the burden at home was gone!”
"I knew from the first day of joining the county team..." Lin Mu said, the faint smile on his face disappeared, replacing firmness, "Actually, my talent is not good. I can only rely on my own efforts to change my future. I practiced desperately. Others practiced for two hours, I practiced four. Others got up at 7 a.m., and I was at 5 a.m., and others practiced a set of regular movements, so I practiced two sets.
It was not in vain to work hard. Later, I joined the city team and the provincial team. Although I was injured and retired, there were reasons why I had practiced too much before, but if I asked me, I wouldn’t regret it?”
Hearing this, the group of people also looked at Lin Mu, a little curious about exploring the mystery!
Lin Mu slowly shook his head: "No, I have never regretted it. Although I have some regrets that I have not been able to continue, I have never regretted it. Because from the moment I practiced hard, I have changed my future!
If I hadn't practiced physical education, what would I do? I barely kept up with the junior high school for three years. Regardless of whether I graduated from junior high school or not, I would just say goodbye to the campus completely and find a job to support myself. I can't starve myself to death, but it is conceivable that I have been struggling on the poverty line.
But what about now? I have become a teacher, and this is a change I have worked hard to get back! In the future, I may be a coach, and maybe I can still be a good coach, but this is the change I have brought about by hard work! Students, if you want to change yourself, this is your only way...
You all know that second-level athletes have extra points in the college entrance examination. I believe you can work harder. Just teach our teacher how to coach them. But is that okay? You can get the exam with extra points? Maybe it’s still not! There are also sports schools that have targeted quotas every year, but can they fall on ordinary second-level athletes? The chance is too small!
So what if we try harder and get a first-level athlete? If you make up for the cultural class, do you know what the results will be?"
A group of people were stunned. The teacher said this was too big. Now they didn’t even dare to think about level 2 except for two. Now Teacher Lin is talking about level 1!
Lin Mu looked around for a week, looked at their expressions, and laughed: "Don't dare not think about it, just say you, Jiang Bing, your current score is 11.85 seconds, not far from Level 2. Although it is still nearly one second behind Level 1. But it is not impossible! Even being a real athlete is not impossible!
I told you this not to hit you, nor to draw a big pie for your future, but to tell you that for many people who are playing, practicing sports is their hobby.
But for us sports students, this is the only way for you to change the future. I don’t know what your family conditions are, but I don’t think it will be very good.
