Chapter 261 Rhythmic Gymnastics

In Shen Zhiyou's opinion, Manman is still young and in elementary school. Now is the time for him to enjoy his childhood life without worries.

Whether she will go to college or specialize in dancing or playing the piano in the future, that is something to consider when she grows up.

Who would have thought that after the performance, when the family was planning to go to a newly opened restaurant nearby for dinner, a lesbian who was dressed smartly and had an outstanding temperament came over.

With her, there were also many dance teachers.

Feng Qin had a smile on her face. After introducing herself, she went straight to the point and stated her purpose.

"Hello, I'm Feng Qin from the Provincial Sports Committee's gymnastics group. When I was watching your daughter's performance just now, I found that she is very talented in dancing. She also has very good conditions and physical fitness in all aspects. Have you ever thought about letting her go the professional route?"

"Of course, this major does not refer to dance, but rhythmic gymnastics."

Before coming, she talked to the dance teacher at the Children's Palace about Manman's family situation.

His father is an officer and his mother is a well-known TV host.

She has a family background that is one in a million, and Manman is the only daughter. Just looking at how their family gets along, you can tell that everyone in the family dotes on this little girl.

Such a family would probably be reluctant to let their daughter suffer the hardship of practicing sports.

So after she finished speaking, she didn't wait for their reply and continued, "We have a big gap in sports right now. Rhythmic gymnastics still doesn't have an international gold medal, and we don't even have athletes who can participate in the competition."

If Manman really chooses to be a professional in the future and is able to join the Beijing team, it will bring glory to their province and even to the country.

These words were spoken with particular passion.

Even the dance teacher next to her was looking at Manman with enthusiasm.

Manman was a little confused. She didn't know what rhythmic gymnastics was, nor did she know what international competitions were.

Shen Zhiyou pursed her lips.

She had also heard about some provincial and national athletes on TV.

The path of sports is difficult and hard, and the amount of exercise they do every day is even greater than that during military training.

Holding my daughter's hand, she said, "This is a bright future. We won't make decisions for her. It's up to her."

Feng Qin was stunned.

During this period, she has been looking for good talents all over the province and has met many parents of good talents. This is the first time that a parent said that they should let their children make their own decisions.

After being surprised, he bent down slightly and told Manman why he was there, and also explained to her what rhythmic gymnastics is.

It is very similar to dancing, but it is more difficult than dancing, and the requirements for physical fitness and physical fitness are also much higher than dancing.

Since childhood, Shen Zhiyou has adopted a semi-free-range approach to raising her children.

Let them explore the world on their own and do whatever they want to do.

So although Manman is still young, she already has the ability to think independently and has her own logic in doing things.

"I want to see what rhythmic gymnastics is first."

"Of course! I can take you to the training place to watch the older sisters train, and also watch the performance videos of those foreign players."

Manman nodded: "Okay, if I don't want to learn after watching it, do I have to pay?"

Feng Qin was stunned again, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter: "Of course not, when are you free, I will take you to see it."

In competitive sports, talent is important, ability is important, but mentality and core are more important.

Many athletes who perform exceptionally well in training usually make frequent mistakes in major competitions.

It's just that my mentality is not good.

The little kid in front of me, although only a few years old, has a mentality that is better than most people.

The next day, Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye took Manman to the training ground together.

It's already dinner time, but the people in the training ground are still concentrating on training, over and over again.

If there is a mistake in a movement, stop immediately and repeat the training many times.

Shen Zhiyou looked at their bodies that were about to be bent in half, and their hair that had already been completely soaked with sweat.

I put myself in my daughter’s shoes and immediately felt a pang of heartache.

She knew that competitive sports were not easy, but she was still amazed when she actually saw it.

Manman stood beside his parents and watched for a long time.

When everyone finished training and went to eat one after another, Feng Qin took them to the office to watch videotapes of foreign athletes' competitions.

It was the first time Shen Zhiyou saw it, and she got goosebumps all over her body.

It’s still the same movements that the people just trained, but when they are connected together, they look especially beautiful.

It is not as graceful as dance, nor as strong as martial arts, but it has both, and the combination of them is particularly charming.

He looked at it without blinking.

Feng Qin had a basic idea in mind, and as expected, she turned off the videotape and asked for Manman's opinions again.

The little girl looked at her mother, then at her father with her pretty round eyes, and said firmly, "I want to try."

Feng Qin immediately smiled and said, "Okay."

It was their daughter's own decision. Although Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye felt sorry for their daughter, they didn't want to spoil her fun.

But she also had demands.

"As long as Manman is willing to do whatever training she wants, we support her. But one thing is that training cannot interfere with her studies."

Although Feng Qin didn't say it, Shen Zhiyou knew that competitive sports were cruel.

They are still the provincial team, and most people will be screened out from the provincial team to the Beijing team.

Even if you join the Beijing team, it is rare to be able to participate in the competition.

No one can say for sure whether or not you can win a prize in the competition.

She supports Manman's decision, but she doesn't want Manman to give up her studies for training. She doesn't want Manman to fail in sports in the future and want to try other ways, but finds that she has no way out.

Feng Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Preliminary training can ensure that she can attend classes normally, but if it is confirmed later that she can take this path and start professional athlete training courses, she will definitely not be able to attend classes normally as before, but we will find a way to let her keep up with the school curriculum in other ways."

Shen Zhiyou looked at Manman, who blinked and grabbed her mother's hand: "Mom, I want to try."
