Yang Sijie has a talent for A-level sprinting. It can be said that as long as you practice a little harder and win several national championships, you will be extremely relaxed. If you work harder, you will be on the world stage and compete with the world's top sprinters. If you are lucky, you will not be able to win a world championship without a strong opponent in a certain game.

Such a talented star of hope actually said that he hated sprinting and did not want to be an athlete, which was indeed a reason Li Dai had never thought of.

It is said that interest is the best teacher. If Leonardo da Vinci had no interest in painting, he would never become a palace-level painter; if Shakespeare had a headache when he picked up a pen, he would never become a literary master.

Of course, not everyone will like their profession very much, but at least it is not the word "hate".

If a person hates his profession, he will not achieve success even if he continues to do it. For example, if a businessman hates making money, he will definitely be poor for the rest of his life; if a person within the system does not want to be an official, he will also be a clerk for the rest of his life.

The same is true for athletes. Many athletes start training when they are young. They really love the sports they are engaged in. They keep working hard with the dream of champions. If athletes do not have the slightest desire for champions and are content with the status quo, they will never achieve results.

Yang Sijie said that he hated sprinting and did not want to be an athlete. This emotion was brought to the training ground. Even if he completed his daily training, the effect was very limited. At the same time, this emotion also made him unwilling to communicate with his teammates. After all, no one was willing to talk about things he didn't like.

This is like reading a book. If a person likes this book very much, he will still be unsatisfied after reading it, and will talk about the contents of the book from time to time. If a person does not like this book and forces him to read it, he will definitely complain. Even after reading it, he will not be willing to recall the plot. Maybe he will not even remember the protagonist's name.

Yang Sijie was resistant to sprinting, so his daily training was also absent-minded and lacked initiative.

The effects of active training and passive training are obviously not the same. If it were an ordinary athlete, training with resistance might have been eliminated from this industry long ago.

But Yang Sijie's talent is too outrageous. His talent is enough to become a world-class athlete. Even in the national team's sprint group, there is no athlete with a talent. So even if Yang Sijie feels resistant, just by relying on his talent, Yang Sijie can crush his peers and become the best in sprint events. Until the Tsinghua University track and field team, he met a group of athletes with equally good talent, and he became the person with the lowest grades.

"With such a good talent, he could have been on the stage of the World Championships, but he actually said he hated sprinting and didn't want to be an athlete. It's such a pity!"

Li Dai knew that the forced melon was not sweet. If Yang Sijie really had no interest in sprinting, it might be difficult to achieve ideal results if he forced him to continue practicing.

"Yang Sijie's resume says that he started professional training since he was 14 years old. He practiced sprinting for five years! Since he doesn't want to be an athlete, why do you have to stick to it until now?" Li Dai thought of this and deliberately brought up a new question and continued the topic.

"Since you don't want to be an athlete, what do you want to do in the future? I have read your resume. You are from the School of Economics and Management. Do you plan to study for an MBA in the future and do business management?" Li Dai continued to ask.

"I want to be a photographer." Yang Sijie said, lowering his head again, as if he was embarrassed.

"There is nothing shy about this. Actually, when I first graduated, I didn't plan to be a coach. At that time, I wanted to be a physical education teacher in a middle school. It was very pleasant every winter and summer vacation. However, I didn't pass the exam, and finally became a coach for no reason." Li Dai smiled and said, "Tell me, how did you become an athlete, and you have come to this day step by step?"

"When I was fourteen years old, the school required all our students to stay at school for an hour every day after school. I didn't want to make up for the lessons, so I knew what the teacher taught, so I joined the school's track and field team so there was no need to make up for the lessons." Yang Sijie said.

"You practice track and field just to avoid making up for the lessons?" Li Dai felt that this was a bit dramatic.

Yang Sijie nodded, and he continued, "After I practiced for a few months, there was a middle school student track and field competition in the city. I ran for 11.72 seconds, won the championship, and was also noticed by the track and field teachers of the sports school. At that time, my father asked me to start practicing sports. He said that I could become a top athlete. So I went to class in the morning and went to the sports school to train in the afternoon."

Li Dai's face changed a little, and he exclaimed in his heart: "You can run 11.72 seconds at the age of fourteen. He is worthy of being the top genius. The national second-level athletes meet the standard line, which seems to be the 11.74 seconds at the age of fourteen! Many people who practice sprinting are still working hard for national second-level athletes at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and he did it at the age of fourteen."

Yang Sijie continued: "Later, I got into college. I didn't plan to continue to be an athlete, but my dad still brought me into the university sports department. He asked me to continue to practice sprinting and continue to be an athlete."

Yang Sijie mentioned his father many times, which reminded Li Dai of what Xin Xiaotian said that Yang Sijie's father was a very powerful person and had useful connections at Tsinghua University.

Li Dai asked, "It sounds like your father wants you to be an athlete, why don't you tell your father that you don't want to be an athlete?"

"My dad is right. He said that I have the talent for sprinting and can become an excellent athlete. Then I should do as he said and be an athlete." Yang Sijie said with his head down.

"Your father's judgment is quite accurate. You are indeed quite talented." Li Dai recalled Yang Sijie's A-level sprint talent and asked, "Is your father a retired athlete?"

Yang Sijie shook his head.

"Then your father must be a coach!" Li Dai continued.

But Yang Sijie shook his head again, and he opened his mouth to reveal the answer: "My dad is a scientist."

"Scientist? Sports Science?" Li Dai asked unexpectedly.

"Biological science, my dad is a scientist who studies biology." Yang Sijie said.

"Oh!" Li Dai nodded. Biological science is a theory that he does not understand at all. He subconsciously did not want this topic to be involved in biological science.

"As a result, being an athlete is not your own choice, but your father made the decision for you?" Li Dai looked at Yang Sijie. Yang Sijie did not answer, but nodded by default.

"Since you don't like sprinting and don't want to be an athlete, have you told your father about your thoughts?" Li Dai continued.

Yang Sijie finally shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Li Dai asked anxiously.

"There is no need for that. What my father said is definitely right. And since childhood, it has been like this. He will help me arrange everything. I just need to do what he said." Yang Sijie's tone was calm and he felt helpless.

"No one is always right." Li Dai immediately retorted.

Yang Sijie lowered his head even lower, as if he was unwilling to argue with Li Dai.

Li Dai had guessed that Yang Sijie had a very strong father, and he was a person who was used to having sex with his children. Yang Sijie's father had helped him arrange his life path, and Yang Sijie was also used to following his father's arrangements.

Li Dai felt a little sympathetic to Yang Sijie. Perhaps his father's arrangement was really right and could allow Yang Sijie to embark on the road to success, but at the same time, Yang Sijie lost himself. To put it nicely, he listened to his parents, and to put it badly, he was a puppet without self-awareness!

Li Dai took a deep breath, and he changed his tone tone and said to Yang Sijie: "Yang Sijie, you look at me now and listen carefully to me."

Yang Sijie raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

"Yang Sijie, you are already nineteen years old and are an adult. An adult should learn to make your own choices. You cannot always rely on your father. You cannot always grow up under the protection of your parents. You should learn to be independent and have your own opinions. Maybe your father's choice is correct, but this does not mean that your own choice is wrong."

"If you have your own dream, then you should work hard, fight and strive for your dream! Dreams are not hidden in your heart. Dreams should be taken out and placed in front, so that you can constantly chase them with your actions!"

"This is your dream, this is your life, and your father may help you take a shortcut on the road of life, but he cannot take the road of life instead of you! You must understand that you are a person, not a puppet controlled by others. After all, you have to go on your own life by yourself."

Yang Sijie opened his mouth, and the excitement in his eyes flashed by, and then his eyes dimmed again. He said with a little discouragement: "I understand everything you said. As you said, I will do what I want to do according to my own ideas. I want to be a photographer. Then the first thing I have to do now is to stop practicing sprinting and quit the track and field team, right?"

"This..." Li Dai hesitated immediately.

He found that he seemed to have done something stupid, and he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

He talked passionately about his "dreams" here, but in fact, he seemed to be persuading Yang Sijie to withdraw from the track and field team.
