Ryan was a shy high school student. He had a hard time dealing with his studies. 1, he didn't have much confidence (自信). One day, his PE teacher noticed his long legs and 2 that he should join the track team (田径队).
At first, Ryan didn't believe in 3. He finished last in every practice race, and his teammates often laughed at him. However, his coach (教练) never 4 him. "Success isn't about winning (赢); it's about 5 every day," the coach told him. 6 the encouragement from the coach, Ryan decided to work harder. He woke up early to run before school and stayed late to practise.
Months passed, and Ryan's hard work began to show. He could now keep up with his teammates, and his confidence grew. During the final race of the season, Ryan faced his 7 challenge (挑战)—a steep (陡的) hill in the last 200 metres. His breath (呼吸) became 8, but he remembered his coach's advice: "Focus on your 9, not your pain (疼痛)."
Ryan pushed forward, passed two runners, and crossed the finish line in third place. He didn't win, but the students cheered 10 for his determination (毅力). Later, his coach handed him a medal for "Most Improved Athlete". Ryan realized that true success comes from believing in himself and never giving up.
