Strictly speaking, the relationship between athletes and coaches is not a subordinate relationship, but a cooperative relationship. Athletes and coaches have the same goal, which is to achieve better results through training.
This is similar to the relationship between doctors and patients. Simply put, the relationship between doctors and patients is a cooperative relationship. It can even be said that they are comrades in the same trench. They must work together to defeat the disease.
However, the domestic system has turned medical care into a mainly commercial industry. The way doctors support themselves is not to rely on technology, but to prescribe medicines, prescribe examinations and increase the use of medical equipment. This also changes the relationship between doctors and patients. No longer innocent, the comrades who should have been in the same trench are now on opposite sides.
Coaches do not have the worries of doctors. Whether they are in sports schools, universities, or in sports teams and training teams at all levels, or even at the level of the national team, sports coaches rely on financial allocations to support themselves. Athletes are also supported by financial allocations. Based on this alone, there will be no doctor-patient conflicts between athletes and coaches.
In addition, the country also has clear regulations that coaches can take a share of the competition bonuses received by athletes and the income obtained through advertising endorsements according to a certain proportion. This also greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of coaches and cultivates a team of A world-class athlete means not only fame and status to the coach, but also means money rolling in. Therefore, under this system, coaches will naturally be dedicated to their athletes.
Athletes and coaches are interdependent comrades, but they are not equal comrades. This inequality is mainly reflected in age. Athletes thrive on youth, and their peak period is only a few years. If this athlete cannot succeed here If they achieve results in just a few years, it means that they will never have a chance to turn around. Time makes people grow old, and God cannot make athletes young again.
But a coach can last a lifetime, and the longer you stay, the richer your experience will be and the higher your level will be. If the first athlete you train does not produce results, you can still train the second, and the third... Sometimes when there are too many athletes in training, you will always encounter the one with outstanding talent. Therefore, compared with athletes, coaches have a retreat.
It's like in a battle, one person has to risk his life and death to rush forward, while the other person can see that the situation is not good and retreat, waiting for the next wave of reinforcements.
An athlete's career is short, but a coach's career is long. Athletes cannot survive a coach. Because of this, athletes cannot train by themselves. They must follow the guidance of professional coaches. They cannot let go of any time. Give yourself the opportunity to improve. In the field of athletes, no matter what sport, if you don't listen to the coach's criticism, it will be difficult to survive.
Dai Li didn't think so much, nor did he analyze it so thoroughly. He simply felt that it was only natural for athletes to follow the coach's instructions and train. If an athlete is disobedient, that means the athlete is wrong.
In the past year of his vocational coaching career, Dai Li also encountered disobedient athletes. For example, Jiang Aiguo, no coach in the entire weightlifting team is willing to cooperate with him, but Jiang Aiguo has rich experience and his training level is worse than if he were not a coach, so he is qualified to ask the coach not to judge.
Another example is Lin Feixiang. His way of arriving late and leaving early and being passive in training is also a sign of disobedience. But Lin Feixiang is a superstar-level athlete with an aura of awesomeness, and he has the right to refuse the guidance of any coach.
But the five athletes in the youth team wanted experience but no experience, and wanted results but no results. They turned a deaf ear to Li Dai's guidance, which made Li Dai very angry.
After a few days, Li Dai completely realized that the training of these five athletes was just about coping. In the morning, everyone is stuck in the training time; in the afternoon, everyone can't wait to finish the training.
More importantly, their training was very half-hearted. Take movement training as an example. Everyone's goal is to stay at the "completion" stage. No one thinks about doing the movements well and making them more perfect.
The purpose of movement practice is, firstly, to increase proficiency, and secondly, to improve one's shortcomings. However, if it is just coping training, neither of these goals can be achieved.
Faced with such five people, Dai Li wanted to fire them all, but if he thought about it carefully, if he fired the athletes as soon as he took office, wouldn't that prove his incompetence and his inability to train athletes well? If you can't tame a prickly athlete, why will you be a coach in the future
What's more, Dai Li only has these five people under his command now. If they are really fired, Dai Li will become a bare commander. Moreover, if a coach loses his athletes, he loses the value of his existence.
This situation put Li Dai in a bit of trouble. When Li Dai was in school, the teachers in the school never taught him what to do when athletes disobey. Finally, Dai Li thought of Xu Zhongyi. He felt that Xu Zhongyi's experience might be able to help him in this kind of matter.
Li Dai called and asked Xu Zhongyi to have dinner together in the evening, and Xu Zhongyi readily agreed.
…
At the dinner, Li Dai told Xu Zhongyi what he had encountered.
"Disobedient? If you don't obey, you'll be slapped! Hit hard!" Xu Zhongyi, who had been drinking, looked very excited.
"Old Xu, I'm not joking with you, I'm asking for advice seriously." Li Dai said helplessly.
Xu Zhongyi did not continue to joke. After thinking for a few seconds, he said: "I think the situation you mentioned should be due to the athletes themselves. You just said that the level of these five athletes is relatively high." Generally speaking. Failure to achieve satisfactory results for a long time will cause them to lose confidence and become mentally negative about training, or even resist training."
Dai Li nodded. Xu Zhongyi was indeed an experienced top coach, and his words were to the point.
"Then what should I do?" Li Dai asked immediately.
Xu Zhongyi lowered his head and eliminated the dishes on the table while saying: "What you need to do most now is to help them regain their confidence and make them feel that after your training, their performance will really improve." , Only in this way can they eliminate their resistance to training. If you can show some real skills and convince them, that would be great."
"I understand. What you mean is to make them think that I am awesome, so they will naturally listen to me!" Dai Li nodded as if he suddenly understood: "This is easy, I am best at pretending!"
