In the past two days, the hottest news in the sports circle has been the announcement that Wang Chuqin, ranked first in the world, has been admitted to Beijing's Xian Nong Tan Sports School with a comprehensive score of 85.4 points, presenting an impressive report card. This 24-year-old world table tennis champion has shown us through his actions that his future planning is not limited to playing on the court.
Speaking of this sports school system, I must elaborate on it. In the professional planning of athletes, obtaining a sports school system is like taking out a life insurance policy for oneself. We always thought that after retiring, athletes would either become coaches or enter sports schools, but Wang Chuqin made a particularly wise move. He didn't wait until he retired to consider these matters; instead, he laid the groundwork for his future life while his career was at its peak.
Wang Chuqin's series of moves have indeed impressed everyone. First, he achieved the world's number one ranking on the court, then won double gold at the Paris Olympics, and now he has been admitted to the sports school system. It's not just about playing table tennis; it's like playing a big game of life!
Recently, his decision to withdraw from the French Montpellier Championship also seems to be a very pragmatic choice. His schedule this year is particularly tight, from the Macau Championship to the Grand Slam, and then to the Asian Championships, it's like fighting a war. Athletes also need rest; overexertion is not beneficial to anyone.
Moreover, he is already ranked first in the world and fully qualified to take responsibility for his physical condition.
Wang Chuqin's resume is already bright enough: Olympic champion, world champion, and world number one. These titles are not easily obtained. The recent policies announced by the China National Sports Foundation have given him peace of mind: athletes who finished in the top three at the Paris Olympics can receive a lifetime pension of 4,000 to 6,000 yuan per month after the age of 60. As a double gold medalist, Wang Chuqin will receive 6,000 yuan per month after the age of 60, which is a solid guarantee.
Looking at his acquisition of the sports school system, it reflects Wang Chuqin's clear planning for the future. Having a system is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl, and even if he doesn't want to become a coach in the future, there are other development directions to choose from. This kind of forward-looking approach shows that he is not only an excellent athlete but also a smart person who knows how to plan his life.
The sports world is undergoing tremendous changes, and the future of athletes is no longer limited to becoming coaches. Wang Chuqin's choice sets a good example for other athletes: they should strive on the field while preparing for their future lives. This all-round planning ability is the quality that modern outstanding athletes should possess.
Looking at Wang Chuqin's development trajectory over the years: from young fame to world champion, from Olympic champion to obtaining the system. Every step has been steady and solid, making people admire his foresight. Such career planning not only paves the way for himself but also provides a good reference for other athletes.
I particularly want to ask everyone: Do you think Wang Chuqin's way of preparing early for his post-retirement life is worth promoting? Should athletes start considering their post-retirement life during their peak professional period? Welcome to share your thoughts in the comment area!
