??spirit
the chinese women’s volleyball team lost to brasil and did not get a chance to play the USA women’s team, which is a surprise gold medal hopeful. I remember when long-ping took over the couch job for usa women’s team, the team was a secondary team, when it plays china, china can easily beat them with bench players. at that time, no one thought about they are going to be where they are today. but here they come, after 4 years, they surprised everyone.
I admire long-ping, she has the ambition to be the best in what she is in, knows what she is doing, and never give up. she does not bow down on pressure, on “impossibles”, etc. walt disney once said “it is fun to do the impossibles”, know what you are doing, set a goal, and never give up, good thing will happen.
sports is sports, but this spirit is what we should learn and apply to what we are doing, be positive, be professional, never give up, having fun doing the impossibles..
