Can children who play badminton replicate Eileen Feng Gu’s success?
In 2011, a book titled “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” quietly sounded the call for Chinese parents to embark on their journey of education. Amy Chua’s success story is deeply rooted in her resolute mother, who regarded the mission of raising children as an unwavering belief.
However, a decade later, only Eileen Feng Gu’ has truly stood out. This is not because academic achievements can be replicated – there are countless students with a GPA of 4.0, but there is only one world champion. Gu Ai Ling has achieved brilliant success through her mastery of a particular sport. This choice has made us deeply realize the immense value of focusing on a single field.
What’s even more remarkable is that real-world evidence confirms that students with sports expertise have a significant advantage in the admissions process at American universities. Harvard University’s admissions data for the Class of 2027 show an acceptance rate of only 3.4% for regular incoming freshmen, while the acceptance rate for student-athletes can be as high as 83%. Gu Ai Ling’s experience further validates that the path of sports does indeed have tangible value.
Instead of just marveling at Gu Ai Ling’s life story, as a parent, why don’t you take action to make your child the next Gu Ai Ling?
Just as Gu Ai Ling has excelled in the field of skiing, the CAN Badminton Academy is committed to nurturing future champions in the world of badminton. We firmly believe that every child has unique qualities, and with proper guidance and unwavering effort, every child has the potential to become a champion in their own field.
The CAN Badminton Academy looks forward to co-writing new champion legends with the children.
