A black arc was drawn in the air, and the lead ball landed firmly on the ground.
"16 meters, I'm over 16 meters!" Qin Lei raised his hands and started celebrating. Although Qin Lei was the last one among the five athletes to reach 16 meters, he still looked extremely excited.
The standard line for first-level athletes in the shot put event is 16.20 meters. Qin Lei is very close to this result. He believes that at the current rate of progress, he will soon reach the level of a first-level athlete.
Among the five, the one who has improved the most is Chen Jiankang. If he performs well, he will be able to throw more than 16.20 meters, which is the standard for national first-class athletes.
A 16-pound shot put can be thrown over 16 meters. It is already qualified to participate in national-level track and field events. Of course, it is just a qualification. In competitions such as the National Track and Field Grand Prix, the 16-meter score is basically at the Bottom status.
If the age of the athletes is taken into account, this 16 meters becomes meaningful. In fact, with the physical fitness of yellow people, in any track and field event, reaching the level of a national first-class athlete before the age of 18 is an amazing achievement.
C-level talent, compared with the world's top athletes such as Lin Feixiang and Yu Feifei, is indeed a talent, but not every athlete can become a world champion. C-level talent is at least much better than ordinary people, and can definitely create an excellent athlete.
Being able to cultivate excellent athletes is enough to give Dai Li a sense of satisfaction. In fact, this is true in all walks of life. Being an excellent practitioner is already a success.
Not everyone who engages in software development can become Bill Gates; not everyone who engages in e-commerce can become the richest man in horse racing; not everyone who engages in the Internet can become the father of Tencent; and those who write online articles can also Not every writer can become the third young master of the Tang family.
But we cannot ignore the achievements of those outstanding people, nor deny the success of those outstanding people. We cannot think that just because an athlete's talent cannot achieve first-class results, we think they are not worth cultivating and give up on them.
Time passed by, and Li Dai also spent four months in the provincial youth team. With the arrival of June, the provincial youth team is about to usher in the busiest time of the year, and a new group of young athletes is coming.
June is the graduation season. Those good prospects who may become professional athletes in the future have also completed the statutory nine-year compulsory education. At this time, they can enter the youth team. Most of them enter the municipal youth team, Sports schools or special sports enrollment in high schools, and those who can enter the provincial youth team must be the best among them.
…
In the conference room, all the coaches of the youth track and field team gathered together. Head coach Lubin sat in the middle, his face looking a little solemn.
Just listen to Lu Bin say: "The main reason I called you here this time is to inform you of something. I have just received a notice from the Provincial Sports Bureau. At the beginning of next month, that is, in July, the track and field team of Nantan Middle School They will come to us for an exchange visit. I think you must have heard of South Beach Middle School in Nanwan City, right?"
Including Li Dai, all the coaches nodded to express their understanding.
When it comes to the famous name of South Beach High School, everyone who is engaged in sports knows it. South Beach Middle School is a public ordinary high school in Nanwan City, but the words "ordinary high school" only represent the nature of Nan Beach Middle School. In fact, South Beach Middle School is anything but ordinary.
All the students at Nantan Middle School are sports students, which means that under the banner of ordinary high schools, they are doing part-time sports school work. However, compared with sports schools, Nantan Middle School pays more attention to cultural courses. Moreover, high school graduates can enter college, an advantage that sports schools and technical secondary schools cannot match.
From the first day of their freshman year of high school, all students at South Beach Middle School are required to undergo physical training in addition to completing normal high school courses. By the time they are in their senior year of high school, they will be able to compete as high-level athletes, sports singles, or sports talents. He took the college entrance examination as a student and entered the university as a sports student.
This kind of education model of Nan Beach Middle School is rare. However, the admission score for college students with special talents is much lower. This kind of education model of Nan Beach Middle School also brings about a very high admission rate. Their candidates have practiced for three years. In sports, when taking the physical education examination, they are definitely much better than the accelerated students who only started practicing in the third year of high school. In addition, the school does not give up the teaching of cultural classes. Almost all the students from Nantan Middle School are Able to go to college.
The high admission rate has also given Nantan Middle School a corresponding reputation, thus attracting students from all over the country. Many children do not like studying, and their parents hope that they can enter college, so they simply send their children to Nantan Middle School. Faced with students from all over the country, Nantan Middle School can select the best from the best and improve the quality of its own students, thus forming a virtuous circle. The name of South Beach Middle School is also resounding throughout the country, especially in the sports field. Everyone knows about South Beach Middle School.
I saw head coach Lu Bin continue to say: "This Nantan Middle School has bad intentions. The summer before last, they visited the Minnan Province Youth Track and Field Team; last summer, they visited the Jiangdong Province Youth Track and Field Team; I didn't expect this year's round It’s our turn.”
The coaches in the conference room looked extremely solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Dai Li also felt that the atmosphere in the conference room had changed. He was a newcomer and didn't know the inside story. He didn't know why this happened, so he asked a coach next to him softly: "Coach Zhang, isn't there a track and field team here to communicate? , we can just receive it normally, why is everyone looking so nervous?"
The coach surnamed Zhang leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "The exchange visits at Nantan Middle School are all with young athletes. During the exchange, a friendly match will also be proposed. This is the key. The year before last Last year, the track and field team from Nantan Middle School had a friendly match with the youth track and field teams from Minnan and Jiangdong provinces respectively. Guess what? Nantan Middle School won!"
"So powerful? They are just a high school, and the athletes are stronger than the youth team?" Li Dai felt a little incredible. How could a provincial youth team, which brought together the province's elite talents, be inferior to a high school
Coach Zhang explained: "Nantan Middle School is indeed very strong. Their students come from all over the country, so there will naturally be some outstanding athletes, but it is definitely impossible to completely defeat the provincial youth team. The key is that Nantan Middle School was selected very well. At this time of year, the youth teams in each province happen to be in the lean stage. The new batch of athletes have just arrived and have not yet achieved results. Among the old athletes, the ones with high standards are all. After being selected by the adult team, it’s almost time for those with low levels to leave the team. Under such circumstances, how can we compare with South Beach Middle School!”
"How could he do this? He came here when there was no one among us, and it wasn't for the obvious purpose of carrying out a sneak attack. Even if he won, it would still be a weak victory." Li Dai complained a little.
"Yes, it's just a sneak attack, but Nantan Middle School doesn't care about the defeat, and after they go back, they will publicize the victory. A prefecture-level city ordinary high school defeated the provincial youth team, which is a huge blow. Satellite!" There was also a sense of irony in Coach Zhang's words.
"Why do they do this? Isn't this a business to offend people? What are the benefits of doing this?" Li Dai asked.
"The advantage is that we can get better sources of students during the enrollment period." Coach Zhang continued: "High school enrollment is different from recruiting for our track and field team. Our provincial youth team is based on youth teams and sports schools in various cities. Even if you stay in Qingcheng and do nothing, the cities below will send outstanding talents here. But for ordinary high schools, you have to recruit students yourself. Whichever school is more famous at this time, the candidates will definitely apply there. "
"I understand. After Nantan Middle School defeated the provincial youth team, they used this victory as their recruitment advertisement to attract outstanding students. They can recruit good students, but haven't we become a stepping stone? What!"
When Dai Li said this, his face was full of displeasure.
