On the stage of competitive sports, there is an unknown story behind every success, and Yan Ni of the Chinese women's volleyball team is one of the little-known heroes. Her achievement is not only a victory in a game, but also a touching story of how a father in a poor family held up his daughter's dream with his disabled hands.
One.
Yan Ni, born on March 2, 1987 in Shenyang, is a sports family. Her father, Yan Huiping, was a goalkeeper for the football team, and her mother, Tian Guiqin, was a member of the basketball team. Since she was a child, Yan Ni inherited her parents' excellent sports genes and became a sports genius. Although his father Yan Huiping works in a machine tool factory and is not wealthy, he and his mother Tian Guiqin have been working hard to support Yan Ni's sports career for the sake of their daughter's dream.
Two.
In elementary school, Yan Ni showed exceptional athletic talent, especially in basketball and volleyball. Although her mother was a basketball player, Yanni developed a strong interest in volleyball. Under the guidance of Mr. Mu, she switched to volleyball and became a member of the beach volleyball team of Shenyang Sports School. In the face of the hard work of training, her parents worked tirelessly to buy pure milk for her to ensure that she had enough nutrition.
The neighbors talked about it, thinking that it was too extravagant to raise their daughter in this way. In order to save money, Yan Huiping turned into a taxi driver, and his wife Tian Guiqin assisted him in preparing meals in advance. Although Yan Ni has achieved outstanding results in the training of the provincial team, it has not been smooth sailing. In an accident, Yan Huiping's left hand was injured, but for the sake of his daughter, he insisted on working.
Three.
Yan Ni's progress has made her the focus of the Shenyang Sports School, but life has not become easy. After going through advances and retreats again and again, Yan Ni still insisted silently. With the support of Yan Huiping and Tian Guiqin, she successfully entered the Liaoning Provincial Junior Women's Volleyball Team and began more professional training. Despite the high cost of training, Yan Huiping and Tian Guiqin still did their best to support her.
Four.
After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the women's volleyball national team underwent a major reshuffle, and the new head coach Cai Bin took office. Yan Ni was selected for the national team for the first time, but this time the opportunity did not continue. Over the next few years, she went back and forth many times, experiencing countless frustrations. Her father, Yan Huiping, always gave encouragement and support when she was most lost, telling her that opportunities always belong to those who work hard.
Five.
In 2014, Lang Ping returned to the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Yan Ni was selected again. However, due to fear in her heart, she did not perform well and was once again sent back to the provincial team. This time, she almost gave up on her dream of being a national team. However, Yan Ni's perseverance paid off, and in the 2014 Asian Cup, she helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the championship and was awarded the Best Auxiliary Attack and Most Valuable Athlete.
Six. Yan Ni's career is full of twists and turns, but she has always stuck to her dream and become a leader in the Chinese women's volleyball team. Her father, Yan Huiping, and mother, Tian Guiqin, prayed for their daughter in every game, and behind every struggle were their silent tears. Now, Yan Ni has said goodbye to the professional arena, and her parents' expectations have also shifted to her marriage. In her, we see the power of perseverance, hard work and family, which is an ordinary and great story.
This story tells us that behind success is often a lot of bitterness and hard work. Everyone who persists in striving for their dreams deserves to be respected and admired. Yan Ni's perseverance and the strong support of her father Yan Huiping have created this touching sports legend.
