Imagine spending 1,182 hours working hard and receiving no encouraging words. This was the situation I found myself in as I  41  a new swim team with a Russian coach. As a long-time swimmer, I was used to receiving plentiful praises and  42  speeches from my coaches.  43  , after practicing for a few weeks, I noticed I did not hear any   44  like “you’re almost there”, “congratulations”, or “you’re doing great” that  45  me through the hard practice. I received scoffs(嘲笑) when I was expecting  46  and praises. To me, Vladimir seemed like a  47  man.

As I was trying to understand him through his heavy accent, I realized that Vladimir had been trained and  48  by the culture in Russia and that led to his different coaching style and unusually high  49  . He spent over 1,182 hours  50  , receiving no praises and was simply expected to  51  . This method of coaching that seemed so foreign to me was from what he   52   , leaving home at the age of twelve, and eventually winning an Olympic medal.

I began to appreciate his  53  to give out praises. He had a much different idea on how best to coach and motivate swimmers. He did not feel the  54  to say compliments(称赞), since he believed one should be  55  without these praises.

It was the fact that he was so different from my previous coaches that made him  56  ．He forced me to really think about why I was swimming. I learned to swim not for  57  but to find the motivation. It became clear to me that the  58  of experiencing different coaching styles is that each one can bring out the best in me if I learn from these  59  . Various training styles may be   60   to me at the start but can help me grow in many ways.
