Yesterday, ** took 11-year-old Ollie to Macau to participate in the event and appeared on the hot search. People were shocked to realize that the little doll with long eyelashes and big eyes in "Daddy is Back" has grown into a slim girl. In the comment area, everyone praised OllieFull of vitality, youthful and lively
Eleven-year-old Ollie competed at the Hong Kong Open Figure Skating Championships in March this year and won applause for her wonderful performance. Her athletic journey has just begun. In the show "Daddy is Back", the young OllieCute looks, soft and cute personality, big eyes blink and wink
Especially the interaction between her and Tianxin, the two little cuties, is even moreIt's so cute
Ollie, who has a gymnastics champion father, showed it earlyAthletic talent
On the variety show, when she was only 3 years old, she was already decent when she started gymnastics, and her father next to her accompanied her throughout the whole process to protect her daughter's safety.
**While taking good care of young Ollie, he did not relax his requirements. He took his daughter through judo, gymnastics, swimming and other sports, and severely criticized Ollie when she made mistakes, punishing her for standing in the corner of the house until she realized her mistakes.
On a variety show, ** once explained his concept of education like this:
You have to make it clear when she should do the right thing and give her the right values。After participating in the variety show "Dad is Back" for two seasons, Ollie did not participate in other variety shows and rarely appeared in the public eye. However, from her father's Weibo, we can still see her growth trajectory. She became an older sister, and the family of four was happy. 
Ollie has tried a number of sports, including football
The sister and brother are also Hehe Meimei. 
Outside of the innocent and cute routine, OllieHe started his athletic career early
In March this year, ** posted a clip of Ollie's participation in the Hong Kong Figure Skating Open.
This was Ollie's first time competing. On the field, although her performance was slightly flawed, her overall performance was good, and her movements were silky and smooth.
As a father, ** is very distressed about the hard work and bumps of Ollie's training;But, on the other hand, as an Olympic champion, he knows it wellSports training requires hard work
He once said, ".(Figure skating) this sport, keep falling and getting up, I don't think I will be an athlete, this will see how she is so distressed when she practice, I am really proud of her。"* education, fortunately, there is a degree of relaxation.
He loves and cares for his children, so that they have a sense of security and self-confidenceIt also strictly disciplines the children, so that the children can correct their mistakes in time and work hard in the right direction. In January of this year, ** sent a blessing to her daughter on her birthday: "Fly for the next 10 years." ”
Although the training background provided for the daughter is difficult to replicate, the training ideas in it are worth learning from every parent who trains their children to take the road of sports. If you want to follow the path of sports, hard training is the foundation.
Sen Die, the daughter of the diving prince Tian Liang, also as the "second generation of sports", also made her debut in international competitions this year.
Sendie competed in the ITF (International Tennis Federation) Singapore Junior Championship J30.
Although it is currently only ranked 2822nd, through this competition, SendieFor the first time, it has its own world (junior) ranking, with a milestone in his tennis career.
At present, there are 30 Chinese under-18 female players ranked in the world, and Sendie is ranked 27th.
Sen Die. Tian Liang's wife quietly revealed her daughter's "tennis road" on a variety show in the early years
Why do you want to work sports?
One is in good health", and on the other hand,"Getting a better grade through tennis will help you get a good university. ”
This path is especially suitable for climbing vines.
The U.S. education community has always had"Exceptional admission" and "reduced score admission" of sports studentsTraditionally, colleges and universities generally believe that sports, especially team sports, can not only exercise children's health, but also exercise childrenDealing with setbacks, winning and losing, team spiritand a series of valuable leadership skills.
Xi Olympic champion Zou Shiming's eldest son, Xuan Xuan, has been influenced by his father's experience since he was a child and is also practicing boxing.
In addition, Xuan Xuan is also exploring his potential in other aspects of sports.
Last year, Xuan Xuan and his teammates won the championship of the Shanghai International Schools Basketball League. In his spare time, he also trains to play polo.
Xuan Xuan. is also training hard in sportsmanship, as well as Yang Yangyang, the son of gymnastics gold medal couple Yang Wei and Yang Yun.
Yang Yangyang, who was only 13 years old, began to practice Xi gymnastics at the age of seven and participated in the 3rd Hubei Province "Yang Wei Cup" gymnastics competition.
Although he has a strong gymnastics "gene", it is reported that Yang Yangyang's main direction is golf. And there already are6 years of golf training
As we all know, the cost of golf is not small, but Yang Wei said that he will fully support his son.
At present, Yang Yangyang is studying and striving to becomeProfessional golfer
Yang Yangyang. When it comes to sports vine climbing, Gu Ailing, who is now showing her prominence at Stanford, is undoubtedly one of the successful examples.
A student's persistence in a particular sport and winning an international or regional award can be a positive factor in college applications.
This sends a positive signal to admissions officersStudents have perseverance and enthusiasm to embody the human spirit of excellence in the most general sense
Rumor has it that lightweight ball games like table tennis and badminton are not sports at all in the eyes of American parents and universities — sports like swimming, rugby, ice hockey and basketball are currently the most popular in college.
Gu Ailing entered Stanford University because of her outstanding achievements in skiing, NBA star Jeremy Lin "entered" Harvard University all the way with basketball, and today's "second generation" are also actively contributing to themselves.
Although the veracity of some rumors needs to be verified, it has long been recognized that sports can help college applicationsVine climbing pathsFinish.
In the 2021 application season, 10 of the freshmen who "fought their way out" in Harvard's extremely low acceptance rate were among them4% are athletes, there are 442% of students have sports in extracurricular activities.
The same is true at Princeton University, where 11 of the freshmen enrolled in 2021 were8% of students are admitted as "athletes".
Being an athlete doesn't necessarily increase a student's chances of getting into college, and it doesn't even play a role in a student's admissions process all the time – that being said, it still isIt has the potential to provide a significant advantage to students who are good at their chosen sport
So, in the field of international education, what sports can be of great help to "climbing vines"?
The U.S. Admission Site** has released statistics showing that ice hockey and lacrosse are among the best sports for college admission, and only 3% of college hockey players come from outside the United States. Of course, Yingda's son Ying Rudi chose ice hockey as a sport he has studied for a long time, and is currently the current captain of the Chinese ice hockey team U20.
Overall, some of the sports that are popular with universities include:Rugby, football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, and track and field
However, different regions and school styles will also breed different preferences.
Water polo is popular in California;In New England is ice hockey and rowing;Hockey is most popular in the MidlandsExercises like cheerleading also make a difference.
However, it is not easy to take the road of sports climbing, in addition to the need to train day after day for many years, it is a great challenge to children's athletic talent, physical fitness, and family income.
Cultivating a sporting specialty is:A long-term process that costs time, effort, and money
From cultivating hobbies to professional training, to participating in international competitions, the money spent on being valued by Ivy League schools is also a significant asset.
Take, for example, golf, a popular sport in international schools.
An ordinary iron for beginners is about 200-300 yuan, and when you learn Xi to cultivate your interest in the early stage, you only need to spend about a few hundred to a thousand to buy a club.
But as the child grows taller, it also improves with the technology - a set of woods, irons, cuts and putts is about 10,000 yuan. Of course, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of clubs are not a minority.
The instructor fee is approximately at the beginner level1000 yuan per hour, can be reached in the middle and late stages5000 yuan per hour。The venue fee is not a small amount, and the Shanghai field starts from 2,000 yuan, and there are certain differences in different regions.
Based on the fact that children start learning football at the age of six or seven, the annual training cost is about 100,000 yuan, and the cost of training for seven or eight years is 1 million yuan. When it comes to participating in international competitions, in addition to the high registration fee, the cost of air tickets, hotels, travel, etc., adds up to tens of thousands of times.
In this way, until it is seen by international schools, yesMillions, even tens of millionsof expenses.
Another example is tennis.
Judging from the market price of hiring tennis coaches in Beijing, the cost of inviting graduates of the University of Physical Education to teach 1-to-many small classes is about 500 2 hours. The graduates of the University of Physical Education, who have been teaching for 10 years and have intermediate and senior ITF qualifications, are almost 500 yuan per hour for 1-to-1 and 2 hours for 550 people.
The time for retired athletes on the provincial team is about 700 yuan, and the time for retired athletes from the national team is 800-1,000 yuan an hour. Coupled with the venue fee of 300-500 yuan, it is probably less than 100,000 yuan per year in the initial stage, and hundreds of thousands of yuan in the middle and later stages. Counting the extra costs such as jerseys, shoes, and rackets, it will also cost about 3 million to 5 million.
Not to mention popular sports such as sailing, shooting, and equestrian.
The cost of a boat, a gun, and taking care of a horse is about tens of thousands of yuan, and the annual expenses are nearly 10 million yuan, including the high cost of courses, equipment, and training consumables.
But while spending a lot of money to cultivate children's sports talents, I also hope that parents and children will not forget that loving sports is not just about being admitted to their dream school - it is also about finding itA passion, a lifelong pursuit
Of course, sports are only a focus of the selection of elite schools, in addition to super physical fitnessAcademic excellenceActivities that embody leadership & social responsibility, and unique personality charmThey are all plus points when applying to prestigious schools.
It is mentioned in the "What We Look For" section of Harvard University's official website"There is no such thing as a typical Harvard student".。In the final analysis, the students favored by prestigious schools have never been assembly line talents printed by molds.
Only by paying attention to children's all-round comprehensive literacy can we cultivate a strong independent personality.
