In the conference room, other coaches also looked indignant.
"This South Beach Middle School is so shameless. When we were full of talented people, they didn't come here. But when our staff was in decline, they came to challenge us."
"Let me tell you, let's just ignore them. If they want to have some friendly competition, let's just not pick up the fight or compete with them."
"It's definitely not possible if we don't accept the call. After all, we are also a provincial training team, and they are just a high school. People are coming to challenge us. If we don't compete with them, won't we surrender without a fight? People will then say, we A provincial youth team doesn’t even have the guts to compete with others!”
"Yes, we are sports people. It would be more embarrassing to surrender without a fight than to lose the game, so in this game, we will definitely compete!"
The coaches participating in the meeting spoke to each other and expressed their own opinions. As for Li Dai, the newcomer, he obviously had no qualifications to interrupt, so he could only sit aside silently and act as an audience.
After a few minutes, head coach Lubin waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
"If South Beach Middle School asks for a competition this time, we will definitely not surrender. Even if our skills are really inferior to others, we will persevere to the end. Even if we lose, we have to lose standing!" Lu Bin clenched his fists in an imposing manner, and then His tone changed, and he continued: "Of course, my most important goal is to win!"
"But we are short of major generals now! The capable athletes in the team have all been selected by the sports team. Nine times out of ten, those who remain have found their own way out and are preparing to leave the team or return. Those from the original team, those who are looking for jobs, those who plan to go to school..." Someone next to me said.
"Those newly reported athletes haven't trained much yet, so you can't count on them at all. The strength of the South Beach Middle School track and field team is not weak. Several athletes on their team have participated in the National Youth Track and Field Championships, and the one with the best results is Won the third place in the national youth track and field competition! This time they come to communicate, they must bring the strongest personnel. Even if we have enough personnel, we dare not say that we will definitely win." Another person also said immediately.
"Otherwise, let's just borrow people from the sports team and call back those athletes who were previously selected." Someone suggested.
"What are you thinking about? Borrowing other people's athletes to compete will make a joke. How can we hold our heads high in front of our colleagues from various provinces in the future!" Someone immediately retorted.
Coach Lubin's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became more serious. As the head of the youth track and field team, what he most wanted to hear now was his subordinates' statements about their courage to challenge difficulties, rather than emphasizing difficulties.
Lubin coughed lightly: "According to the situation in previous years, a large number of athletes will leave the team one after another at the end of this month, but this year's situation is special. We have to face the challenge of learning from South Beach Middle School, so I hope that these athletes who leave the team will Athletes can temporarily stay for one more month. Although the skills of these athletes who are leaving the team are relatively average, they are at least better than the newcomers. At least we will have a group of manpower to deal with South Beach Middle School."
"Originally, they are all planning to leave. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to ask them to stay for one more month. They will be resistant. Besides, many of them have already completed the procedures. If they insist on leaving, we won't be able to stop them. Stay." An experienced coach said.
"So this requires everyone here to do the work and let them stay as much as possible." Lubin continued; "Of course, if you want the horses to run, you still have to give them grass, so I decided that as long as they are willing to If you stay for one month, each person will be given a subsidy of 1,000 yuan!"
When they heard that there was a subsidy, everyone's expressions softened a lot. As long as they were willing to give money these days, things would be much easier to handle.
…
What makes Dai Li very happy is that all five athletes on his side are willing to stay.
Speaking of which, these five athletes had been training with Dai Li for more than four months, and Dai Li couldn't bear to see them quit the athlete's career.
A new batch of young athletes came to report one after another, and the shot team suddenly had more than 30 fresh faces. In addition to the original five people, Li Dai was responsible for the training of more than 40 people. It became busy in an instant.
It is simply impossible for one person to train more than 40 athletes to cover everything. Dai Li can only be forced to adopt a "big pot stew" training method, just like taking a physical education class, setting out a unified training plan, and each person can do it by himself. To complete the training according to the training plan, Dai Li can only give certain guidance.
At this time, the differences between athletes are reflected. Some people train very seriously and complete every movement meticulously, while some people just stay at the stage of completing training tasks; some people complete the tasks arranged by Li Dai. After the training task, they will practice more by themselves, and some people will take a rest after completing the training task.
To become an excellent athlete, both excellent talent and acquired hard work are necessary. Sometimes acquired hard work can make up for the lack of talent; among those athletes who failed, there are also those who have great talent but lack of hard work. So no matter how talented you are, hard work is a must.
…
Training for the new athletes had just begun when the South Beach High School visiting team arrived.
Faced with the unkind visitor, the entire youth track and field team was ready. The coaching staff of each event was ready to face the challenge. The athletes also knew that there would be a competition today.
On the shot put training ground, the more than thirty new athletes were undergoing daily training, while Chen Jiankang and the other five people had been doing warm-up exercises. Dai Li did not arrange for them to undergo high-load training, just to allow them to preserve their physical strength and face the visiting team from South Beach Middle School.
Six or seven people came from a distance. There were two people at the front. One of them was Zhang Hui, a relatively senior coach of the youth track and field team, and the other was a member of the South Beach Middle School visiting group. Although Dai Li didn't know Whose name is this person, but I have seen him before at the welcome ceremony.
"The people from Nantan Middle School are here!" Dai Li immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Xiao Li, let me introduce you." Zhang Hui pointed to his side: "This is Liu Hu, the head coach of the throwing team of Nantan Middle School. Coach Liu is a player on the national team and has participated in the Asian Games. !”
"This is all from the old calendar more than 20 years ago, so don't mention it." Liu Hu looked at Dai Li and then said: "This Coach Li is really young and promising!"
"Coach Liu is so polite. You are a senior, so you should give more attention to us juniors." Li Dai said immediately, and at the same time, his heart tightened. This coach Liu Hu, who was able to represent the national team in the Asian Games, must be extremely powerful. powerful.
"We can't talk about it, we can't talk about it. Let's learn from each other." Liu Hu smiled and seemed to have no airs.
Zhang Hui next to him made a "please" gesture and said at the same time: "Xiao Li, please introduce our shot put team and let Coach Liu give us guidance."
…
Of course, Liu Hu couldn't really "guide" in this situation. He was a guest after all. Even if Dai Li didn't do well, Liu Hu couldn't say it openly, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to the host.
As Dai Li introduced, Liu Hu kept nodding his head, and there was even a lot of praise in his words. Everyone is an insider, and there is no need for Dai Li to explain something too thorough. He is just talking about the surface, so in just a few minutes, Dai Li finished the introduction.
"Coach Liu, in front of you, I am just trying to do my best." Dai Li said politely.
"Anyway, I also benefited a lot from watching Coach Li's training today. The future still belongs to you young people. We old guys will be buried in the grave in a few years." Liu Hu showed a smile on his face, He continued: "Coach Li is a strong general with no weak soldiers, but by chance, our team also has two shot put athletes this time. I think it would be better for the athletes to communicate with each other?"
As Liu Hu spoke, the smile on his face became more sincere, but in Dai Li's opinion, this was a smile hiding a knife!
