Celebrity daughter

Hien Linh is the daughter of Dr. - martial artist Nguyen Thanh Huy, member of the World Taekwondo Sustainable Development Committee, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Taekwondo Federation and currently head coach of the Vietnam Taekwondo team.

As the daughter of a famous person, does Hien Linh feel pressure to succeed? The 19-year-old girl said: "My father never pressures or forces his daughter to do anything, instead, he guides me in the right direction. For me, there is never any pressure to succeed because my parents create conditions and love me, always support and allow me to pursue what I love, then I feel really relieved. I am lucky that I also choose the right direction for what my parents want me to achieve."

"I often call my father by a familiar name, 'father - teacher' and especially 'silent flame'. Because he always shares and encourages me throughout the journey from the beginning of martial arts until today," Linh said about her father - martial artist Nguyen Thanh Huy.

Little girl with big passion

When she was little, Hien Linh used to follow her father to the taekwondo gym to play and observe the athletes. But gradually, she admired her father more and more and wanted to become a "cool" person like him. She started practicing at the District 10 amateur club, after learning the moves, she was officially allowed to join her father's team class to practice with the athletes of the team.

Linh gradually improved and was able to accompany her father on training and teaching trips at home and abroad.

"There is a saying from my father that has been a great motivation for me until now: 'Try to practice, daughter, learn English too, then the two of us can go together, whenever I have you, I will always have you'. That is not simply a word of encouragement but also a saying that I always keep in my heart to remind myself to try, to strive to maintain to make my father proud and to accompany him on all the trips", Linh confided.

Don't want to be "versatile but not masterful"

Linh shared that as a girl who is both literary and martial, pressure and stress are inevitable. However, Linh clearly outlines her own direction, plans and goals to avoid becoming a "versatile but not proficient" person.

The girl who is "both literary and martial"

Every day, Linh divides her time and plans her study and practice for the next day and the following days of the week so that she can solve and "run" her goals in time. As well as when studying, she tries to use learning tools to support her in completing her homework, trying to concentrate so that she can solve the lesson as quickly as possible. Then she spends time practicing taekwondo in the late afternoon.

"During the day, I always try to learn more soft skills and hard skills to support myself in the digital marketing field. And from that foundation, I can apply and develop my taekwondo in a more diverse and attractive way. I don't want taekwondo to only be about training and competition," shared the girl who just won first prize in the digital branding competition - Personal Branding 4.0 in 2023.

The "snail" girl who is both literary and martial also said that her goal after graduating from university is to become a good person in the field of digital marketing, so that she can carry out many projects related to taekwondo. "I want to bring the image of Vietnam to the international arena through taekwondo, to improve the achievements as well as the values ​​of Vietnam in the international arena".
