According to Dafeng News, the young player who was beaten said in an interview that the coach was a bit strict with the players, but he was usually very nice to everyone. He hoped that public opinion would stop blaming the coach. In this incident, the coach apologized to him and obtained his parents' understanding. Although the video posted online by

is short, the content presented is enough to make people angry and shocked. In U16 games, the players participating should all be minors. If the performance on the field is not good, the coach can criticize, guide, and even send him off the field. Why is there a need to fight? The female coach openly slapped the minor nine times. No matter what the reason was, it was incomprehensible and extremely inappropriate.

The act of slapping in public, in addition to causing physical harm to others, also has a strong sense of bullying and insult. When a coach slaps a player, whether it is to suppress others with power or act impulsively, it is a violation of the dignity and dignity of the player. Invasion of personality. Such irrational and violent physical punishment not only fails to motivate athletes to improve, but will leave hard-to-heal wounds in their hearts. It not only harms the physical and mental health of young players, but also deviates from the sports spirit of equality, respect, and health.

The situation report issued by the middle school involved

Although the little player who was beaten came out to speak for the coach, to some extent it proved that the coach did not deliberately hurt the players, but was just "a little stricter", in traditional education In the concept, there is indeed a saying that "a strict teacher makes a good disciple", especially in the competitive sports industry that pays attention to physical fitness and strength competition, the coach's beating and scolding may sometimes be regarded as a kind of training and test.

It must be clear that "a strict teacher makes a good disciple" is by no means a reason to implement violent corporal punishment. The word "severe" itself carries the meaning of severe punishment and no tolerance. Education can be strict and serious, but it should not be harsh, let alone harsh. A truly strict teacher will help students overcome difficulties, strengthen self-discipline, and make continuous progress through strict requirements, scientific training, patient teaching, and appropriate rewards and punishments. Slapping players in public, even nine times in a row, is by no means strict teaching, but It is losing control of emotions and acting out of bounds.

After the incident, the relevant school quickly investigated and verified and imposed corresponding penalties on the coach involved. This shows that the coach’s behavior indeed exceeded the scope of normal teaching punishment and violated teachers’ professional ethics and relevant laws and regulations. The school quickly and seriously responded to the incident. The treatment is also a warning to all educators: any form of violent corporal punishment is not allowed and will be punished accordingly.

Competitive sports show the beauty of strength, unity and challenge, a contest of wisdom and courage, and the tempering and sublimation of the human fighting spirit. There should never be insults and violence in sports venues. All personnel engaged in physical education should bear in mind the spirit of sports, regulate their own behavior, keep in mind their responsibilities and missions, and use professional technical knowledge, persuasive patience, and upright and noble character to become young people. A role model for athletes, providing them with warm support and helpful guidance, inspiring their fighting spirit and enthusiasm to pursue their dreams.

Society should also cultivate the correct concept of competitive sports, abandon the abnormal concept of victory and defeat of "score first", feel the positive energy and inspiring charm of competitive sports in a more diverse way, and jointly create a healthy, positive and progressive sports environment and education environment.
