　　Chinanews client, Beijing, July 31st (Xing Rui) A few days ago, Italian female ranking player Possetti posted a photo of her doctorate on personal social media. At the age of 31 this year, she successfully obtained a PhD in exercise science. In this dynamic, she is also accompanied by the inspirational quote of former Apple CEO Jobs: "Hungry for knowledge, and foolishness."

　　Lucia Posetti is a member of the Italian national team, who plays the main role on the field. In the 2018 World Championships, she won the silver medal with the Italian team.

　　At the age of 30, Posetti’s story breaks the prejudice of “simple minds and well-developed limbs” of professional athletes. Looking at the sports circle, there are actually many more academic masters like Posetti.

　　Speaking of the name Socrates, perhaps the first thing you think of is the ancient Greek philosopher. But in Brazil, which is rich in football talents, there is a football player named Socrates. One theory is that Socrates' father was obsessed with the philosophical masterpiece "Utopia", so he named his newborn son "Socrates". As his parents expected, Socrates grew up not only to play football well, but also to receive a doctorate in medicine. Therefore, fans also call him the "Doctor of Football."

　　The Brazilian team in the Socrates era is in a period of zenith. Although they were almost perfect, they still failed to win the World Cup.

　　In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Socrates and two other talented players Zico and Falcao formed the famous Brazilian Trident. Although they were eliminated in the second round of the group stage, their skillful skills have made fans unforgettable.

　　Juventus captain Chiellini is also a civil and military general. He has a master's degree in business administration from the University of Turin and completed his graduation thesis with a perfect score.

　　In fact, Chiellini received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Turin many years ago. However, "learning is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance or retreat", after graduating from undergraduate, he is still not satisfied with his own achievements, while leading Juventus to compete on the field, but also use his spare time to continue to improve his academic qualifications.

　　In addition to academic and stadium achievements, Chiellini also published two books. In 2014, he co-authored a book that pays tribute to the legendary Juventus defender Sirea-"Angels of the Bianconeri"; and in 2016, the Italian defender also released his first autobiography-"Chieri Ni: The mind, soul and brain of a defender.

　　In the basketball field, there are also many academic masters who have both skills and education. The most representative of them is Jeremy Lin, who currently plays for the Beijing Shougang Men's Basketball Team.

　　Jeremy Lin graduated from Harvard University, the world's top university. Compared with other sports specialties, Jeremy Lin entered Harvard on the basis of his excellent cultural class results. After entering the NBA, he also became the second Harvard graduate to play in the NBA. In 2019, Jeremy Lin, who has experienced ups and downs in the NBA, joined Beijing Shougang and embarked on a new journey of his own.

　　Duncan, the founder of the Spurs dynasty, was also a "child of someone else's family." Duncan entered Wake Forest University in 1994. After four years of hard studies, he successfully obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology. After graduation, he joined the Spurs and created a story about the basketball circle.

Data map: On November 17, 2016, the Spurs officially announced that they would retire Tim Duncan's No. 21 jersey during their home game against the Pelicans on December 19. The picture shows Duncan attending the jersey retirement ceremony.

　　After becoming a professional player, Duncan did not give up on improving himself. He also obtained a master's degree in psychology from Wake Forest University in his spare time. With such a intensive NBA schedule, Duncan spent his rest and entertainment time on reading, which is indeed admirable.

　　There are far more than the above-mentioned academic masters and academic gods in the sports circle. After many athletes retired, they would choose to enter the campus to enrich themselves. Reading should indeed run through your life. No matter what industry you are engaged in, progress is always accompanied by curiosity about knowledge. (Finish)
