I was scrolling through my phone during my morning coffee break when this video popped up – a 16-year-old girl named Chen Yujie crossing the finish line with this mix of shock and pure joy on her face. The timestamp showed 11.10 seconds, a new Asian youth record for women’s 100m.
You know what hit me hardest? It wasn’t just the record. It was her interview afterward, where she said in this slightly breathless voice: ‘I never thought I could run this fast. I was hoping for around 11.17 or 11.15, just hovering near the youth record, but 11.10? That blew my mind.’
Hearing her say that took me straight back to my high school PE classes. Remember those awful beep tests? The smell of rubber track mixed with sweat, that burning feeling in your lungs when you pushed too hard. I was always the kid panting at the back, while the athletic kids like Chen made it look effortless.
But here’s what got me – she called this victory ‘the most beautiful beginning of my life.’ Not the peak, not the destination, but a beginning. At 16, she’s already figured out what takes most of us decades to understand: success isn’t about reaching some final point, but about enjoying the journey.
I did some digging – apparently over 60% of teenage athletes experience performance anxiety before major competitions (according to 2023 Youth Sports Psychology data). Yet Chen ran with this incredible mix of focus and freedom. Her coach mentioned she’d been training since elementary school, those early mornings at the track when most kids were still asleep.
Maybe that’s why her story resonates so much. It’s not just about athletic achievement – it’s about all of us who ever had a dream that seemed too big. That secret ambition we tucked away because we were afraid we couldn’t reach it.
After watching her video, I texted my cousin who’s struggling with college applications: ‘Remember why you started.’ She replied with a crying emoji, saying she’d forgotten that initial excitement. Sometimes we need reminders like Chen’s story to reconnect with our own beginnings.
