On the field, the tacit understanding between the front runners and runners forms a joint force to boost sports performance. This tacit understanding stems from daily training and the care that leaders give to the leaders in all aspects of life.
Leaders and blind athletes are like brothers and sisters, holding hands and going in and out together, feeling like brothers and sisters, both inside and outside the stadium. Half of the "military medals" of blind track events belong to the leaders who are silently dedicated.
