In fact, the other young people who were selected to the swimming center also practiced the basic movements meticulously and corrected them bit by bit when they first started practicing.

After learning the basic movements over time, you will be able to connect them together and burst into high speed in the water, like a mermaid.

However, when people practice an action, they will not make no progress like Xiao Yao, let alone learn a little better today, and then return to their old ways tomorrow - if this continues, when will it end?

Zhou Qi decided to have a good talk with Xiao Yao.

After the training that day, Zhou Qi called Xiao Yao to watch the replay of her movements. After Xiao Yao watched it with a serious face, he said: "Xiao Yao, you have seen the results of your practice these days.

Let’s figure out your future path.”

Xiao Yao also realized that it was difficult for him to learn how to swim. Compared with primates like humans, which have strong learning and imitation abilities, a lobster that can only crawl and occasionally push water is simply not good enough——

The ability of animals to imitate is simply not as good as that of humans.

She originally thought that she could shine in the swimming world just because she was a giant lobster, a sea creature. This was simply nonsense.

Yes, this body is a lobster that has become a spirit. It has spiritual intelligence and learning ability, but it is not as good as humans when it comes to changing the ingrained way of walking.

At that moment, Xiao Yao said: "Jiao Zhou, what suggestions do you have?"

Zhou Qi looked at Xiao Yao's beautiful little face that turned pale in the water, thought of her life experience, and felt pity in her heart.

His voice softened and he said: "You swim very fast, which is a very outstanding advantage in the swimming world. For this reason, our entire sports school has high hopes for you. In fact, you are also very good."

Xiao Yao knew that after this praise, there was her problem, so he did not speak, but listened carefully.

When Zhou Qi saw the little girl listening to him seriously, his heart became softer and his eyes became softer, and he continued: "But, you have no talent in practicing movements. So I thought about it and let you specialize in freestyle. Freestyle versus swimming

There are almost no restrictions on the poses, they are almost tailor-made for you.”

Thinking of the little girl's success in freestyle, she became a little excited and continued,

"Actually, freestyle is also great, because you can participate in many events in freestyle, including single, medley, mixed relay, single 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and 1500 meters. If you practice freestyle well, you will dominate the swimming world.

half of the country."

Xiao Yao nodded when he heard this. In this way, freestyle is indeed suitable for her.

Seeing Xiao Yao nodding and agreeing with what he said, Zhou Qi also laughed: "If you don't have any objection, then just focus on freestyle in the future."

She thought that although Xiao Yao's swimming style was not a scientific crawling style and looked a little weird, in competition, speed was king. As long as Xiao Yao was fast enough, it didn't matter what her posture was.

Xiao Yao nodded again: "Okay."

When Zhou Qi saw Xiao Yao agreeing, his smile deepened, and he consciously solved a big problem. He even felt that he should not teach breaststroke first according to the order of teaching swimming. This not only wasted each other's time, but also damaged the little girl's self-confidence.

Heart.

But she can't be blamed. After seeing Xiao Yao's swimming speed, who in the swimming center, from the leaders at the top to the coaches at the bottom, didn't want Xiao Yao to learn breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke, and then choose two to sweep the swimming world?

With outstanding talent and outstanding appearance, everyone was dazzled and felt excited that a superstar would emerge in their swimming world.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yao's talent is a bit biased.

But it’s not a big problem. Wouldn’t everyone be happy if they switched to freestyle?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi looked at Xiao Yao with a smile: "Then we have decided that you will specialize in freestyle. As for the breaststroke we learned before, you should completely forget it and give up."

Xiao Yao was fine at first, but when he heard the word "give up", his brows suddenly wrinkled.

If you give up if you can't learn it, then what else can you learn successfully?

Today she can give up because the breaststroke is difficult to learn. In the future, she will definitely give up another thing because it is difficult for other reasons, one after another, until the end of her life.

You shouldn’t be like this as a human being, and you shouldn’t be like this if you want to achieve great things!

Zhou Qi saw Xiao Yao frowning and asked, "Why, do you have any other questions?"

Xiao Yao looked at Zhou Qi: "Jiao Zhou, I don't want to give up."

Zhou Qi also frowned: "Why don't you give up? You have no talent at all in this area."

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at the many six- and seven-year-old girls in the swimming pool who were repeating the same action over and over again. Their faces and skin were wrinkled from training all day long.

But everyone still persists.

Immediately he said: "They can persist and practice day after day, and so can I."

Zhou Qi immediately said: "She is different from them. They are making progress every day, little by little, and they are making rapid progress, and you... how well you learned the basic movements of breaststroke, you must have noticed it yourself. Your talent

In freestyle swimming, there are countless wrong paths compared with the one path to heaven, and you should take the path to heaven."

Yes, there are many things in the world that require persistence and should not be given up easily.

However, geniuses all over the world choose to shine in their fields of expertise and dominate the world, without exception.

Xiao Yao had already thought clearly at this time that even if she practiced freestyle, in order to prevent others from seeing that she was a big lobster, she had to change her posture and become like a human being. Therefore, practicing freestyle was as important to her as practicing breaststroke.

, butterfly stroke and backstroke are the same, full of hardships.

Since she has to practice, she shouldn't give up breaststroke.

Zhou Qi looked at Xiao Yao and clearly saw that her eyes gradually became firmer. She looked at herself and insisted on her original answer: "Teacher Zhou, I don't want to give up."

Teacher Zhou had a headache. She rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the time: "Okay, that's it for today. You go back tonight and think about it carefully."

Xiao Yao's tone was very firm: "I have already thought about it, I will not change my mind, and I will not give up."

Zhou Qi couldn't help but start to rub his eyebrows again: "Don't say it so quickly. You go back tonight and think about it carefully. Then... and then discuss with your friends what to do in the future."

Xiao Yao insisted: "I'll practice again." After saying that, he still looked at his movements recorded by the high-definition camera.

She had been watching before and tried hard to change, but her racial talent and actions were too ingrained, so she didn't change much.

This time, Xiao Yao decided to change the smallest thing first and strive to change it bit by bit.

As she watched, she imitated the movements on land, trying to twist her arms and change her ingrained habits.

If it were other habits, it would not be difficult to change. After all, she had opened up her spiritual intelligence, and her learning and understanding abilities were the same as those of humans. But swimming is the natural walking movement of this big lobster, and it is engraved in the soul and blood.

The actions are inherited, so it is really difficult to change.

After practicing for a while, Xiao Yao went into the water and rowed his arms in the water again.

After returning from swimming, Xiao Yao went ashore to look at her movements, compare them with standard movements, and find out whether there was any progress or what had changed - she did not try to find any shortcomings. For her, her movements were

, basically all are deficient.

After watching it, Xiao Yao was still practicing and familiarizing himself with the movements by the swimming pool. When he felt he was ready, he went into the water and performed breaststroke in the water.

Zhou Qi couldn't help but sigh when he saw Xiao Yao practicing his movements and diving into the water over and over again, and walked to the other side to sit down and rest.

Other coaches were also taking a rest. When they saw her coming, they asked, "Is there still no improvement?"

Zhou Qi shook his head: "No, not at all."

The other coaches had deep regrets on their faces after hearing this: "She is so fast, why is it so difficult to practice her movements? This is really, I don't know whether to say she has talent or that she has no talent."

Most swimmers can swim in the four swimming styles of butterfly, frog, back and free. There are many swimmers who are proficient in all four swimming styles. People like Xiao Yao are too rare.

Some coaches immediately grasped the key point: "If you can't practice breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, then practice freestyle. Anyway, there are no restrictions on movements, and she is now a ready-made champion. Many little girls can win the championship when they are around ten years old. At her age,

It’s already late enough, it’s just right to practice freestyle directly.”

Zhou Qi nodded: "That's what I said too. But she refused and said she couldn't give up. No, she's still practicing breaststroke." As he said that, he looked helplessly at Xiao Yao, who had been practicing.

The other coaches also looked at Xiao Yao and saw her practicing on the shore for a while, then getting into the water, and then coming up again, correcting her movements bit by bit - to be honest, with their professional eyes, they couldn't see that she had corrected her movements at all.

Therefore, all the coaches sighed: "Not to mention talent, even ordinary people are inferior. Only perseverance is pretty good."

Zhou Qi felt bitter in her heart after hearing this, and she thought so too.

However, Xiao Yao just refused to give up.

I hope Xiao Yao can think clearly when he goes back tonight, give up other swimming styles, and focus on freestyle.

When Xiao Yao went back that night, the other team members had gone back, and she was the only one in such a large swimming pool.

She glanced at the time and saw that it was already very late, so she went back.

There was a little girl in the dormitory who was still awake. When I saw her, I came back and asked: "Sister Xiao Yao, I heard that your Teacher Zhou asked you to practice freestyle instead. You don't want to, right?"

Xiao Yao nodded: "Well, I want to hold on."

"But you can't even compare to ordinary people in breaststroke, so what's the use of persisting?" The seven-year-old girl was still very naive and spoke very straightforwardly.

The other little girls also blinked and looked at Xiao Yao.

They were newly selected, so they are still very young, the eldest is seven or eight years old, and the youngest is only five or six years old. They don't know yet that some words and looks can be very hurtful.

Xiao Yao looked at her, and then slowly swept his eyes across all the little girls who were watching him, and said every word very seriously: "Persistence is useful!"

The little girls said in unison: "No way!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and knocked each one: "If it is useful, please remember it for me."

The little girl Wang Meng stuck out her tongue at Xiao Yao while feeling pain: "I can't do it. I have already learned breaststroke. Our teacher Wang said that if I practice better, I will be allowed to participate in the provincial sports meeting when I am ten years old.

Compete and come back as a champion."

Xiao Yao hit her again: "Then come on." Facing such a young girl, she was too embarrassed to argue with them.

That night, Xiao Yao had a dream, dreaming about the original owner learning to walk when he was a child.
