In order to be a good coach, she finished the correspondence college and undergraduate courses of Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education and Shenyang Institute of Physical Education, majoring in her favorite sports. In training, Yan Ming put the word "earnest" throughout her whole sports career, laying a solid foundation for the players.
Yan Ming often says to students, "In class, I am a coach, and I am strictly for your own good. After class, I am your friend. You can tell me anything. " The age of Yan's players is generally 10- 17. In order to keep good communication with them, she consciously watches more cartoons, and the level of playing video games is enough to calm the children down. "I just watched Kung Fu Panda two days ago, and I have new topics to talk to them." Yan Yan said with a smile.
As the coach of 14, Yan Ming's biggest dream is that one student can surpass her achievements in that year. Unfortunately, the reality is still far from this dream-the performance of athletes depends on many factors: congenital conditions, understanding and hard work, the right coach, the right training methods, opportunities ... all of which are indispensable.
The Olympic torch was not held high enough.
On the afternoon of May 8, 2008, Yan Ming held high the Olympic torch and ran on Binhe Avenue in Shenzhen. As a representative selected by the municipal sports school, she gloriously became the torchbearer of the Shenzhen leg of the Olympic torch relay. She is the stick 10 1. Talking about that sacred moment, Yan Ming also expressed regret in pride: "Because of the temporary change of the torch relay route, I originally planned to run 200 meters and 50 meters. I was just a little excited when I ran, trying to light the torch of the next torchbearer. I feel that the boss is reluctant. " Yan Ming recalled with a smile.
Shenzhen gave Yan Ming honor, and Yan Ming also paid deep affection to Shenzhen. Whenever her players play in other places, she thinks of the word "home" and her home in Shenzhen. She spent all her youth here after the age of 24, and she was deeply attached to Shenzhen. Yan Yan, who is still alone, has taken this place as the destination of his life.
A full meal is better than a banquet.
Yan Ming is a cheerful person and easy to satisfy. A good book, a good movie, a trip ... anything beautiful in life can cheer her up.
Yan Ming was born in the late 1960s. Compared with "post-70s" and "post-80s", her personality is a bit old-fashioned. For example, she has no economic mind and thinks that money is "enough". With her fame, running a swimming training class, or speaking on behalf of businesses, will earn a lot of money. Over the years, she has met many invitations, but she refused them, always focusing on students.
The strictness in life is very low-key, and I never regard myself as a celebrity. Ms. Liu, the parent of the student, said: "She is too bad at selling herself. She only knows how to work hard all day. However, I am very relieved to give the child to her: she is not eager for quick success and will consider the child for a long time. "
If it weren't for the torch relay, many people simply didn't know that the famous former world champion Yan Ming lived in Shenzhen. She still lives in the welfare house where she worked. She has a car and doesn't drive it often. She prefers to take a walk nearby, which is both environmentally friendly and exercise.
After retiring for many years, Yan Ming has always maintained a fit figure, which is attributed to her good exercise habits: "It is not expensive to climb mountains twice a week or play badminton." Yan Ming said.
Do you still swim? "Of course. Many swimmers get tired of water in the end, but I never get tired of it. I've always liked water. When I need to relax, when I am bored, I will go back to the water I know best and enjoy swimming. " Yan Yan said with a smile.
