The Shoelace Is Expressed With Concern.

Rushing into the field, squatting down, bending down, quickly shoelaces for "No. 9" and moving to "No. 7" rapidly, repeat the above actions and tie up a pair of shoelaces.

Yesterday, at the China Normal University Gymnasium volleyball appraisal competition, in just 3 minutes, Finland coach Lankeni Gary has successively made 4 athletes' shoelace scenes to make the audience moved.

Each pair is good. He pats the players shoulder as well as his brother and father.

Reporters noted that unlike the United States, Russia and other countries athletes, almost all of the 10 members of the Finland team knead kneecap, although many people can still bend their knees freely, but there are four or five athletes need coaches to help.

"Their knees are weak, and standing and jumping is a miracle."

In Lankeni Gary's view, the athletes who are very tall and twenty are actually children. Although the IQ of the Special Olympics players in volleyball are 50 to 70, they still worry about others.

"My main task is not to teach them to practice the ball, but to make them feel like a normal person and build confidence and integrate themselves into the ranks of the normal people. That is my greatest responsibility."

For this "greatest responsibility", he is as careful as he can and almost cares about everything.

Take shoelaces as an example, because players need to jump up spiking or blocking, and the legs and feet are not convenient, shoelace loosening is common.

In a training or competition, he stood up and crouched fifty or sixty times, sometimes unable to lift his waist, but always happy to face the athletes.

A special Olympic athlete is swaying from his normal walk to the ability to jump freely. In addition to the sweat and sweat of the athletes themselves, he can not do without the coach's "being a father and a mother", especially Lankeni Gary.

Recently, the team has been equipped with a coach, this is good, a father and a mother, a clear division of labor.
