Coach’s Atrocity: Captain’s Tears & Admission of Wrongdoing

“I blame myself for not protecting my child well. My wife almost cryed every day. My son often had nightmares, which made people feel very distressed.” Speaking of the experience of his son Serena Williams (pseudonym), Mr. Liu, as a father, felt guilty and even more angry.

Mr. Liu told this magazine that Serena Williams had previously joined a primary school baseball team in Taoyuan City, and practiced hard all the way from a bench player to become a pitcher. In May last year, the team coach Lin Jiawei believed that Serena Williams had potential and chose him as the captain. Serena Williams, who was affirmed, planned to take the national middle school sports class with his classmates to realize his baseball dream, but he did not expect it to turn into a nightmare that night.

Mr. Liu said: “Selephant Wei was in a low mood after being the captain. In September last year, he asked to withdraw from the team because he was scolded by the coach. Lin Jiawei said that Serena Williams was not strong enough to resist pressure. Later, Serena Williams was sent to the second army. One day, he returned home after practicing football and was emotionally broken and wanted to withdraw from the team. After asking, he learned that the team performed poorly. Lin Jiawei beat Serena Williams who was the captain and vented his anger. Serena Williams was forced to withdraw from the team. Lin Jiawei also shouted at Serena Williams in front of all the baseball players, “Get out.”

“The coach often beat me to the point of injury. I had nightmares later. Now I am scared when I hear “Kabbi Beast”. “Xiao Wei was still scared. Seeing that Lin Jiawei was not in good control of the ball, he called him timid and coward, and said that the coward was a eunuch. He slapped him and slapped him out. During the process, Lin failed and scratched Xiao Wei’s face with the ring on his hand, causing Xiao Wei to hurt for several days.

Xiao Weidi, who is also a baseball school team, said that other players made mistakes, and the coach also thought it was his brother’s fault. It seemed that because the brother was the captain, he had to bear the responsibility and was beaten on behalf of others. Xiao Weidi thought the coach was hateful, which made him hate baseball because of this.

What’s more, one time I played with other schools, because Serena Williams misunderstood Lin’s instructions and misdirected the defense net. Lin scolded Serena Williams in front of everyone, and asked Serena Williams to turn around and hit him in the butt with the bat. Serena Williams said, “The moment I turned around, I was afraid of death, but the coach was very fierce. I dared not resist. My butt was beaten to a bruise, which disappeared after a month. I was also teased by my classmates and was beaten by the coach and was beaten red by the coach.”

In mid-September last year, Mr. Liu complained to the school and held a grudge against his son in the team group, exposing Lin Jiawei’s improper behavior of discipline, but Lin did not speak out. It was not until Mr. Liu and his wife withdrew from the group one after another that they issued an apology for the allegation of improper discipline. However, Mr. Liu and his wife were not aware of the situation, which made Xiao Wei’s mother feel that Lin was just pretending to show other parents, not really admitting her mistake. Seeing that Xiao Wei, who was improperly disciplined, withdrew from the team, it was equivalent to temporarily giving up his baseball dream, and he couldn’t help but feel distressed for his son.
