Cubing Begins
My journey in cubing started at 4 years and 3 months old. In the first half of my cubing journey, cubing was just a common hobby like many others. Through my daily practice, I made steady progress in my speed and accuracy. My parents also paid attention to my cubing study. As I kept practicing and improving, my times steadily dropped, reaching sub-30, and my progress continued as I broke new personal bests (PBs) one after another. This achievement made me feel the excitement of surpassing my limits.
When I watched "Cube Speed" and saw that their team had participated in the 2024 Winter Tournament, I pushed myself to the limit, practicing over 4000 times and finally managing to pass the "pressure test" for the first time. It was like a new challenge in my cubing path. Later, I realized that the key to progress lies in overcoming challenges and pushing oneself.
But, along the way, there were times when things were not smooth. After achieving sub-10, I felt like I was stuck in a bottle neck and unable to improve. I started to lose confidence, but fortunately, I found a mentor who guided me and rekindled my passion. With the help of my mentor, I got back to practicing the ZB and OLL cases. Although my brain felt burnt out, my coach’s dedication and insight really helped me improve, giving me a better grasp of the techniques and decreasing my mistakes, which led to breakthroughs, including achieving sub-7.
This was an achievement that I hadn't dreamed of before. Now, I don't focus so much on the quantity of solves but rather on the quality of each solve. The most important thing is to focus on every step I take. It’s about keeping consistent and improving incrementally, which I believe is the key to mastering cubing.
