Shot put training ground.
"Stop for a moment." Dai Li clapped his hands: "Everyone, come over, let's have a meeting first."
The five young athletes stopped immediately and gathered in front of Dai Li.
Dai Li put a stern expression on his face, glanced at everyone, and then he said: "How is the quality of your training these days? Are you aware of it? I'm confused, why are you just unwilling to train seriously? Are you going to do it half-heartedly? Is it my fault? Why are you dissatisfied with me? "
Dai Li said this on purpose. He hoped to use this method to get the athletes to talk.
Before the five people could answer, Dai Li pointed at a young athlete: "Zhao Zhanshan, you speak first."
"No, coach, absolutely not." Zhao Zhanshan immediately shook his head and said.
"Chen Jiankang, tell me." Dai Li pointed at another athlete.
"We have only known each other for a few days, how could we be dissatisfied with you?" Chen Jianjian said with a smile.
"No one is dissatisfied with me, right?" Li Dai continued to scan the crowd: "Then we must make it clear today. Why don't you train seriously and always turn a deaf ear to my words? Is it possible that you think I am a newbie here? Are you going to bully students?"
"No, coach, how dare we!" Chen Jianjiang continued to shout, and several people around him nodded.
Dai Li observed their expressions and found that Wang Bin was hesitant to speak, so he immediately called their names: "Wang Bin, tell me!"
"Me? What did you say?" Wang Bin didn't expect that Dai Li would call his name, and seemed a little caught off guard.
"Just say what's on your mind, like a man, say what you have to say, don't hold it in your heart!" Dai Li said simply.
Wang Bin hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Coach, since you said so, I will say it clearly. We all know that you are capable of pointing out our technical shortcomings on the first day you took office. . But for us, it doesn’t matter whether those technical shortcomings are corrected or not. We were not selected for the sports team, and the path to continue being athletes has been cut off."
Wang Bin's words seemed to open up the conversation, and Qin Lei next to him also said: "Coach Li, we all know that you are doing it for our own good. But we feel that all you have done is in vain. You have spent your time and Spending energy on us is a waste of time. If we were really talented, we would have been selected by the sports team long ago."
"Yes, it's not that we don't want to work hard, but no matter how hard we practice, we will probably be like this now." Chen Jianjian has already put away his smile: "After the summer, I will be 18 years old. If there is nothing else for the time being, There is a place to go, and I won’t stay here any longer. In fact, my family wants me to go to a technical school to learn a skill, but the technical school won’t start until September, so I will spend my time here for the time being.”
"Coach, you don't have to worry about us. We are really not made to be athletes. In fact, we don't plan to continue to be athletes. We have already thought of a way out." Wang Bin pointed to the other players. Personal: "Chen Jiankang is going to a technical school; Zhao Zhanshan is going home to open a canteen with his mother; Qin Lei is going to go to the south to work; Luo Feng wants to go to school and retake the college entrance examination; as far as I'm concerned, an industrial zone is being built in our town. After I recover, I plan to try my luck and see if I can find a job."
"Sure enough, it's as Xu Zhongyi said. They haven't produced results for too long, so they have given up on themselves." Li Dai looked at them with sharp eyes, and then asked: "I haven't given up on you, do you want to Have you given up on yourself?”
"You are not losers, you just didn't succeed, and now, you gave up before you succeeded! I don't know how many years you have been practicing shot put, but I know you must have put in a lot of effort. One day in the future , when you think back on today and your giving up, won’t you feel regretful?”
The five young athletes fell into silence at the same time. They were selected to the provincial youth team because they had practiced shot put for several years. How can a person who has been engaged in a career for several years and give up because he has not achieved any results have no regrets in his heart
"I feel sorry, but this is the reality!" Qin Lei was the first to speak: "When we came here, we were very ambitious. We felt that we could soar into the sky after joining the provincial youth team; We have also looked forward to entering the provincial sports team, and even entering the national team; we have also dreamed of competing for gold and silver on the field, breaking world records like Lin Feixiang. Unfortunately, those are just dreams... "
Qin Lei seemed a little excited, as if he was about to cry. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "I remember that there were dozens of people who entered the youth team with me. We received the same training. We have made the same efforts, but every day there are people falling behind, and there are fewer and fewer people. Every day I try to persevere, but I can only watch helplessly, those people with better talents leave me behind, and we But there is nothing we can do.”
Qin Lei's eyes flashed with pain and unwillingness, and several other people also showed similar expressions.
Dai Li listened carefully. He could think of the scenes Qin Lei told him.
A young man who is an outstanding player in the school team, the county team, and even the city team. He came to the provincial team with full expectations. However, here, everyone is not weaker than him, and everyone No one is less talented than him. The best talents in the province are gathered here, but he does not stand out here.
He turned from a "genius" to an ordinary person. The coach did not treat her differently, but just gave him the same training plan as everyone else. Gradually, he fell behind and fell behind. In the past, he always enjoyed the taste of victory. But now he has to swallow the bitter pill of failure!
Finally, he no longer had the self-confidence and complacency he had before, and he gave up!
…
This situation is very common in youth teams because there are too few coaches, especially when new athletes come every year, and one coach has to face dozens of athletes.
If a coach has to take many athletes, the scene is similar to a physical education class. The coach cannot take care of every athlete. They can only assign tasks like a physical education teacher and let the athletes complete them themselves.
In this process, the athletes themselves will widen the gap. Athletes who perform well will receive the attention of the coach and receive more guidance, while athletes who perform poorly will gradually be ignored by the coach and eventually become "laggards." ". Under this ebb and flow, the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker.
Dai Li has always felt that this "big pot mix" training method is not advisable, and athletes still need to be taught in accordance with their aptitude. Just like dumplings, those that cook faster will definitely float up from the bottom of the pot first, but this does not prove that those dumplings that have not yet floated are not delicious.
"I understand." Dai Li sighed deeply: "I can understand your mood, but I also implore you not to give up and try again. I have pointed out your technical shortcomings. I believe that as long as you are willing If you make corrections, your results will definitely improve significantly.”
"I hope you can give me a chance and try to follow my method to verify whether my training is effective. At the same time, this is also a chance for you to work hard this time. Even if you cannot become an athlete in the future, It’s a different path, but at least if you try and work hard, people will have no regrets in their sports careers.”
The five people fell into silence at the same time, and no one responded to Dai Li.
However, Dai Li saw different results from their expressions. Zhao Zhanshan and Wang Bin looked confused, Qin Lei was struggling very much, as if he was having a fierce psychological struggle, Luo Feng directly showed his refusal to cooperate, and Chen Jianjiang dismissed Li Dai's words.
"Qin Lei is the breakthrough!" Li Dai made a judgment immediately. Compared with others, Qin Lei's struggle is the most fragile and the easiest to be exploited. He will never refuse Li Dai. .
"Qin Lei, your main problem is that when pushing the ball, your elbow joint is raised too high. Now let's try to see what effect it will have if you lower your elbow joint." Li Dai couldn't help but drag Qin Lei towards him. Throwing area.
"First do a throwing motion without the ball." Li Dai instructed, and Qin Lei also cooperated.
"Stop, right here, lower your elbows, and do it again..."
"Stop, don't press down deliberately, be natural, do it again..."
"Yes, very good, that's it. Now try holding the ball."
Under Li Dai's personal guidance, Qin Lei learned the technique of lowering his elbows. Of course, this was just learned. If he wants to develop a habit, he still needs a lot of practice.
Dai Li handed the shot put to Qin Lei's hand: "Qin Lei, this is actual combat training. Use the method I just taught you to throw once and see how far you can throw it."
As Dai Li spoke, he entered the system and re-equipped the explosive halo.
In these days of training, Dai Li has not been equipped with an explosive halo. He hopes to get a real result. Now, in order to convince Qin Lei that the effect of his guidance was very effective, he decided to use the explosive aura.
Qin Lei stood in the throwing area. He adjusted his breathing and then got ready to throw.
"Be careful not to raise your elbows. Think back to the action you just made. It should be more natural. Yes, that's it!" Dai Li continued to guide beside him, while Qin Lei threw the shot put with a sudden force.
"Bang!"
The shot put landed with a dull sound.
However, everyone saw that the final landing point of the shot put had exceeded the 15-meter mark.
"15 meters! I read that right! Qin Lei's throw this time actually exceeded 15 meters! He usually throws 14 meters, which is considered good." The four young athletes behind opened their eyes in surprise.
"15 meters? I actually threw 15 meters? I have never thrown 15 meters!" Qin Lei felt a long-lost ecstasy in his heart, and then he immediately looked at Dai Li.
"Coach Li is right, his guidance is really effective! Maybe I should do what he said and work hard one last time!"
