2 . As a 30-year-old teacher at a sport college, Wang Shasha is now used to the praise from her fans for her freestyle soccer skills. The former soccer player now has over 230,000 fans on Douyin, the Chinese video-sharing platform run by TikTok’s parent company ByteDance.
Inspired by Chinese women’s soccer player Sun Wen, who was a captain in the national team, Wang fell in love with soccer and was encouraged to play it by her PE teacher when she was in the third grade. However, her mother didn’t support her. Wang managed to change her mom’s mind when her soccer skills helped her earn an offer from a top high school.
Just as Wang was ready to go into the national youth team, she was injured. “It was a difficult time for me. After thinking hard for almost a week, I decided to retire and go to college,” Wang said.
After graduation, Wang became a soccer teacher. To attract more teenage followers, Wang began to play freestyle soccer. She practises for three hours a day, and spends another three hours recording and editing short videos.
“Soccer is my best friend. Although it takes a lot of time to make the videos, my passion (热情) for the sport has driven me to keep at it,” Wang said. “Freestyle soccer is attractive to many young people so it can help promote (推广) the game.”
“I hope more and more young people, especially girls, will fall in love with soccer and seek a beautiful life through me sharing my story online,” Wang said.
