I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break when I came across this video of Olympic swimmer Li Bingjie drawing cartoons of her coach – and honestly, it hit me right in the feels.
There she was, this world-class athlete with gold medals hanging somewhere in her home, carefully sketching what she called her ‘roaring coach’ memes. The way she drew his angry eyebrows and shouting mouth was honestly hilarious – but then she started talking about how terrified she used to be of him during training.
You know what this reminded me of? My high school math teacher, Mr. Zhang, who used to stand over my shoulder during exams and sigh dramatically when I got calculations wrong. At the time, I thought he was the human embodiment of stress. But years later, at our class reunion, he pulled out a notebook where he’d kept track of every student’s progress – and next to my name, he’d written ‘needs more confidence, not just formulas.’
Li talked about how her coach would literally time her laps to the millisecond, and if she was even slightly off, he’d make her do it again. ‘I used to see him in my dreams, shouting swim times,’ she laughed in the interview. But then her voice got quieter when she described how, during her injury recovery, this same ‘scary’ coach would stay late at the pool, just watching her do rehabilitation exercises without saying a word.
What really got me was when she said, ‘He’s the most important person in my career.’ Not just ‘a good coach’ or ‘helpful’ – but important. The kind of important that comes from someone who saw you at your worst, pushed you through it, and celebrated with you at your best.
It made me think about all the ‘strict’ people in our lives – the bosses who demand perfection, the parents who set high expectations, the friends who call us out on our nonsense. We complain about them (and sometimes draw funny memes about them), but deep down, we know they’re the reason we become better versions of ourselves.
So yeah, watching Li Bingjie’s interview made me want to text Mr. Zhang and thank him for all those stressful math classes. And maybe dig out my old swimsuit too – though I’ll probably just end up floating in the pool remembering how much easier it looks when Olympians do it.
