Other professional players are afraid of avoiding sports. They have long been tired of training and exercising every day. They can't wait to stay away from these appliances and equipment during their rest time. Even Nadal, the training fanatic, is no exception. He exercises during exercise and during vacation.
Then choose to go out to sea on a yacht and stay away.
Fortunately for Gawain, the pressure accumulated due to exercise actually returned to the gym to seek spiritual comfort.
Sampras was a little bit dumbfounded, especially when he thought about all the random thoughts he just had... all in vain, his smile couldn't help but rise.
However, now that Gawain has been found, there is no need to worry now.
Sampras did not interrupt Gawain's jogging, but found a seat to sit down and patiently waited for Gawain's sweating time to end.
Sampras didn't know when Gao Wen came to the gym and how long he had been running before, but he sat down for a short while and Gao Wen finished.
Slowing down the pace, Gao Wen did not leave the treadmill, but turned it off, relied on his legs to continue walking on the treadmill, and slowly adjusted his breathing.
At this time, his attention was released from the running state, his peripheral vision became sharp again, and then he noticed the uninvited guest in the gym——
You come to the gym but don't exercise. Instead, you sit there and play with your phone.
"Hey sir, do you need help taking pictures?"
Sampras raised his head and looked over, confused.
Gao Wen explained, "Take a photo and upload it to the photo wall to say, 'Today's exercise is completed.' Do you want me to take a photo of you doing exercise?"
Sampras finally understood and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you are in good condition and you actually have the heart to joke."
Sampras did not step forward, but waited beside him until Gao Wen's final buffering exercise was over, and then handed over the water bottle and towel that Gao Wen had prepared and put aside.
Looking at Gawain who was sweating profusely in front of him, Sampras's smile slowly calmed down, and the worry in his eyes resurfaced again. He didn't know how to speak, but many times, it was a good way to get straight to the point.
"You should know that this is not the only chance, right?"
Gawain raised his head and glanced at Sampras.
Sampras was a little embarrassed. He was still not very good at such conversations, but he also knew that direct communication with Gawain was easier.
"It's not that I don't believe you can win the championship. In fact, I believe that you have a slightly higher chance against Roger. The game in front of you is somewhat similar to Wimbledon. Roger's serving state is excellent, but his overall competitive state is not as good as that of Wimbledon.
Going to Wimbledon, there were still some fluctuations during the game..."
"Ah, anyway, I mean, facing Roger, your winning rate is slightly higher, wait, what am I talking about, where did I just say it?"
Sampras was also in a hurry. Gao Wen showed a smile in his eyes and reminded him, "This is not the only opportunity."
Sampras suddenly realized, "Yes, that's it."
"Gawain, I believe you, but you must also know that this is not the only chance."
"Your career has just started. There will be countless challenges and ups and downs in the future. You should know that you can't perform so well every season, right?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not pouring cold water on this. What I mean is that we need to look at victory and defeat more rationally..."
The speech is incoherent and the point is unclear.
But Gawain still understood, "There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself."
Sampras nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there is no need to think that this is the last chance. Just give it a try regardless. It does not mean that you are prepared for the possibility of losing this game, but that you relax and go to the court and give it a try..."
"Oh, God, what the hell am I talking about."
Looking at Sampras who was holding his forehead and shaking his head, a smile appeared in Gao Wen's eyes, "I know, it is actually the half-glass-of-water theory, the difference between only half-glass of water and still half-glass of water."
"For the same thing, a positive mentality and a negative mentality can often lead to different results."
"What you mean is that I should chase victory, but I should not come out with a negative mentality of 'This is the only chance' and bear heavy pressure. Instead, I should have a positive mentality of 'This is the first chance' and shake off the pressure."
"Right?"
Sampras nodded repeatedly, looking at Gawain's smile, his expression became slightly embarrassed, and then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "In the end, I still need you to enlighten me."
"I knew I didn't need to worry about you, you can handle it on your own."
Unexpectedly, Gawain shook his head, "No, Peter, I'm actually not good."
Sampras was stunned.
Gawain let out a breath, but he couldn't tell whether it was a sigh or simply adjusting his breathing after exercising. "I don't check social networks, so I don't know what happened, but I will know by observing your reactions and the reactions of reporters. Now it should be all
The pressure is all piled up on me, right?"
This is not the first time that Gao Wen has witnessed the same position. From the top players in China to legends from other countries and regions, just look at Argentina's Messi. However, he did not expect that one day he would also reach this position.
He thought that he was already in his second life and had seen the power of network traffic. He should be able to deal with it easily, but imagination and reality are two different things and cannot be compared at all. Only when he truly comes to this position can he feel the ubiquitous pressure.
A feeling of suffocation.
Sampras gave a wry smile and said, "You are just too smart."
Gawain also smiled, "Well, I think so too. So, I also felt irritable and couldn't calm down, so I came here for a run, didn't I?"
"Peter, sometimes, I always miss the past, not because it was so beautiful before, but because it was simple."
"I like running, so I run. You don't even need to do anything. Just running is enough. As long as you run fast enough, you can fly with your arms open."
"I like tennis, so I play tennis. I am depressed because I lose, and I laugh because I win, but what is really important is that I like playing tennis, those games against each other, the collision of strength and beauty, ha, standing on the court,
I just feel happy.”
Until now, Sampras felt that Gao Wen was like a twenty-year-old young man. Even though he had achieved brilliance, there was still a long career waiting in front of him——
The future may be bright, or it may be full of thorns.
Sampras knows that nothing is certain. The road before Gawain must be walked by himself, and then open up a new world that no one can define. It may be better, it may be worse, it may become a legend.
Perhaps at the peak, everything is possible, but everything must be written by Gao Wen.
That kind of uncertainty is scary, but also exciting.
There is ample time.
When people discuss Gao Wen's youth, they tend to focus on Gao Wen's current achievements and the history he has created; but Sampras focuses on Gao Wen's future and is fully prepared. Gao Wen's career has only started two seasons.
The future is long and they still have a lot of time to continue to challenge the limits.
A kind of growth, a kind of challenge, a kind of breakthrough.
Not only to write history, but also to achieve oneself.
Don't be anxious, they really don't need to be anxious and move towards the unknown tomorrow step by step.
