昨天（3月15日），两度荣获残奥会乒乓球男子单打项目冠军的赵帅正式开启在宁波诺丁汉大学的教职生涯。本学期，他将作为该校特聘教师，教授乒乓球课程。

赵帅，TT8级优秀残疾人乒乓球运动员。早年因事故失去左臂，后开始专业运动员生涯。2012年，他荣获伦敦残奥会乒乓球TT8级男子单打冠军。2016年，他成功卫冕，摘得里约残奥会该项目金牌。近期，他顺利从北京体育大学体育训练专业毕业，并获得学士学位。

上午9时，赵帅开始了他入职任教的第一节课。刚一走进乒乓球场，他就看到不少学生“慕名而来”。简单热身后，赵帅讲解了基本的握拍、发力和站位方法。19位选课的学生分组对垒，跃跃欲试，赵帅则逐一指导每位学生技术技巧。学生们普遍非常激动，十分珍惜这次与世界冠军近距离接触的机会。

“赵老师超强！课程含金量太高了！”、“赵老师亲自下场，我太幸福了！”课后，学生们的感叹在朋友圈刷屏。

赵帅说，此次执教，他希望不仅向大家传授乒乓球知识，分享他在实战中积累的经验；更希望让大家了解运动对身体的重要性，培养积极的运动精神和品格。

这与宁诺对本科体育教学的理念不谋而合。宁波诺丁汉大学体育部主任Sarah Humphreys表示，学校在体育课的设置上尽可能地多样化，教学上富有参与性，让学生真正地享受体育课，养成终身运动的习惯。

“

我非常高兴看到赵帅的加入。他不仅能让学校的乒乓球教学水平大幅提升，而且还是一个出色的榜样，能够激发学生对体育锻炼的热情，展现体育运动的多元和包容。

选择宁波诺丁汉大学作为执教生涯的起点，赵帅坦言是因为与宁波诺丁汉大学的特殊缘分。

早在2016年，赵帅在“邓亚萍体育奖学金”的资助下，就在宁波诺丁汉大学英语语言教学中心学习。首次40天的强化学习后，他归队备战里约残奥会。比赛中他战胜各路高手，卫冕摘金。赛后他再次返校进行系统化学习，并接受了为期一年的在线一对一英语辅导。

“

我对学校的国际化印象深刻。我梦想未来能在宁波诺丁汉大学完成硕士阶段的学习。

赵帅特别提到，时至今日他还每天坚持背单词， “基本英文交流对我来说已经完全没有问题，我非常乐意执教期间与对乒乓球感兴趣的师生切磋。”

按照计划，赵帅本学期的执教将在5月中结束，随后他将归队备战东京残奥会。这一次他的目标是个人三连冠，并争取与团队奋力拼搏冲击团体金牌。

他激昂地说，“心态放平，赢得起也输得起。‘拼’对手的时候，我们要有‘搏’的状态，全力以赴而不是保守对抗。祖国荣誉高于一切，要为祖国争光，为家乡争光，也为咱们宁波诺丁汉大学争光。”

Two-time Paralympic Gold Medallist joins University of Nottingham Ningbo China

Zhao Shuai, a two-time Paralympic Gold Medallist in Table Tennis, recently joined the Physical Education (PE) coaching staff at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC). On 15 March, he gave his first Table Tennis class to UNNC students.

Although the first lesson was mostly theory based, Shuai devoted much of his time to getting to know his students. “Understanding students and their aptitude is important to deliver effective classes. Because it’s unreasonable to expect them to all play professionally, my teaching methods will vary according to their different skill levels,” he said.

Having competed successfully at many international events, Zhao Shuai is eager to share his experience and passion for Table Tennis with students. “In my class, I’ll teach students not only the theory of playing table tennis but also the practical experience I’ve gained from many competitions. My personal goal is to inspire more students to love sports and to develop an interest in playing table tennis in particular.”

After the semester’s teaching finishes in May, Shuai will be heading to the Tokyo Paralympic Games to defend his title. He is confident of winning a third successive gold medal. “I’m in excellent form and with years of practice, my skills and experience are more mature than ever before,” he said.

This is Zhao Shuai’s first teaching role. His bond with the University stems from 2016 when he studied English at UNNC with a Deng Yaping Sports Scholarship - which assists young athletes to obtain an education at some of the world's top universities.

Zhao Shuai noted that the English language support he received from UNNC was a great help and has not stopped learning English since. His longer-term goal is to pursue a postgraduate degree with the University, at either the UK or Ningbo campus. “Studying at the University of Nottingham has always been my aspiration,” Shuai added.

Sarah Humphreys, Director of Sport & PE at UNNC, expressed a warm welcome. “Myself and my colleagues are thrilled to be welcoming Zhao Shuai to our team, where he will no doubt have a tremendous impact on the PE programme, specifically with Table Tennis, which is one of the more popular sports here in China,” Sarah said. “He will be a fantastic role model and we look forward to his involvement with our programmes.”
