Chapter 440 Want to be a World Champion
After returning home, the family was a little tired. Lin Yuzhu felt sore muscles all over her body, and the two children were so tired that they collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move.
It turns out that what I read online in my previous life about swimming helping to lose weight all over the body was true, now my whole body hurts!
When it was night, Lin Yuzhu saw that everyone was tired. After thinking it over, she decided not to let Zhao Yanshu cook. She simply woke everyone up and walked to the newly opened restaurant across the street to eat.
After returning home in the evening, Lin Yuzhu asked the two children about their feelings about learning to swim.
Son Yanchi was the first to speak excitedly: "It's fun, Mom, I like swimming and I want to continue learning!"
Shuyao pouted. Although it was a bit hard, she didn't want to be outdone by her brother, so she followed suit: "I like swimming, too."
Lin Yuzhu nodded after hearing this and looked at Shuyao, "So what do you think? Do you want to continue learning and become a professional swimmer in the future, or do you just want to swim occasionally as a hobby?"
Shuyao was a little confused after hearing this, and obviously didn't know how to make a decision. She shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't know."
Although she wanted to become very good, she was afraid of the hard work. She was so tired after only practicing for a few hours. Coach Duan said that she had been practicing for 16 years since she was five years old, but she had to retire in the end because she did not achieve any good results.
She thought that even Professor Li, who was so great, couldn’t do it, so how could she do it if she couldn’t even learn how to swim?
Lin Yu saw Shuyao's dilemma and knew that she was a bit delicate and might not be able to bear the fatigue, but she was reluctant to give up.
So he thought about it and said, "Why don't you ask your dad to talk to the coach of the sports school tomorrow? You can continue to go to school first, and use your spare time to practice for a while. If it doesn't work, then give up."
Shuyao thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to mom and give it a try first."
After asking Shuyao, Lin Yuzhu looked at her son again, "Does Yanchi like swimming? Do you want to continue learning swimming in the future?"
Yan Chi nodded, "I like it, I want to learn it, I want to swim and become a world champion in the future!"
Lin Yuzhu laughed and said, "Oh, you even know about the world champion. Okay, then you can continue to learn. However, you are still young, so you don't need to go to the sports school. Just learn from Coach Li first."
She has already asked two coaches today. Yan Chi is still young, so it is better to focus on laying the basics first and practice more in spare time. When he is as old as Shu Yao and his abilities can be seen, then she can consider moving towards a professional career.
This is the process for normal children, but Shuyao found out a little late and has to make a decision now.
After asking the two children what they thought, Lin Yuzhu reminded Zhao Yanshu to go to the sports school tomorrow.
When she came back from get off work the next day, Zhao Yanshu told her that he had already made arrangements with the sports school and from now on Shuyao only needed to go there to practice for an hour after school every day.
Lin Yuzhu was relieved after hearing this, but she was still a little worried, "Do you think Shuyao can hold on?"
Zhao Yanshu was silent for a long time, then shook his head, "I think it's difficult."
"Ah." Lin Yuzhu sighed, "I think so too."
Both of them knew Shuyao's character well and knew that she was not someone who could endure hardship. In recent years, the family's conditions have improved and they are not so harsh on their children. Generally, they try their best to satisfy her wishes.
Shuyao has liked many things over the years, but the only thing she has really persisted in is painting.
Learning to swim and practicing sports is hard work, and they think it would be difficult for Shuyao to stick to it given her personality.
But we don’t know the result yet, so let’s wait and see.
