The first day of training is over. To be more precise, the four hours of training in the afternoon are over.
The athletes dragged their tired bodies towards the cafeteria. At the same time, they inevitably started talking about Dai Li.
"Coach Li, the new coach sent to the national team today, is so young. He seems to be a few years older than me!"
"Looking at Coach Li, he doesn't look like he was born as an athlete. I really can't figure it out. When did the national team have such a young coach?"
"Maybe it's a related household!" The speaker was the athlete named Xin Xiaotian.
"It goes without saying that if you can join the national team as a coach under the age of thirty, you must have entered through the back door." Niu Guohong curled his lips disdainfully: "You all felt the training today. It has no characteristics at all. It’s all routine training. I’m afraid Coach Li has no skills at all. He was probably driven here because he couldn’t make it in the national team!”
The voices of several athletes were full of distrust of Dai Li.
Age is indeed Dai Li's biggest shortcoming. When training young athletes, it's okay to say that when training adult athletes, young Dai Li will indeed be looked down upon.
As long as you are a profession that relies on the accumulation of experience, you will generally encounter this situation. For example, if you are an antique appraiser, someone takes an antique vase for appraisal and meets two appraisers, a young man in his twenties and a six-year-old man. For an old man who is more than ten years old, the person doing the appraisal will definitely trust the old man’s judgment more. He would feel that a young person without much experience would be easily misjudged and his valuation would not be accurate.
Another example is that as a doctor, if a young man of 24 or 5 years old sits in the consulting room and treats patients, many patients may think that he is an intern.
But if an old doctor with gray hair and reading glasses sits there, even if he is not an expert, he will be regarded as one. Even in medical TV dramas, there are often scenes where a young doctor treats a patient, is considered to be insufficient, and is asked to change the doctor.
For example, the so-called "Four Miracle Doctors" who defrauded more than a dozen provinces in the past pretended to be experts on TV every day to advertise and sell medicines. One moment they were Miao doctors, who knew the tricks of "taking medicine at acupoints, pulling out phlegm and relieving asthma"; One moment he was a Mongolian doctor, loudly selling the ancestral "Mongolian medicine heart and brain prescription"; the next moment he was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and he was the "old director" of a certain traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
But so many people believe it, and so many people are deceived. Their images almost always have gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses. If it were a young man in his twenties, no matter how well he was packaged, no matter how glorious the title, others would not believe that he was a famous doctor.
The same is true for coaches. If they are too young, they will not gain the trust of the athletes. If the coach is younger than the athletes, it will be even more troublesome. If athletes think that they have more experience than the coach and that their level is higher than the coach, how can they listen to the coach
Those who can enter Tsinghua University are all the proud ones, and they all have a sense of arrogance in their hearts. Even the older coaches will not be convinced if they don't show some real skills, let alone Dai Li is still so young, barely a few years older than these college students.
Moreover, during this afternoon's training, Li Dai did not provide technical guidance to the athletes, but arranged some routine training. Dai Li originally planned to observe it first and then decide on a different training plan for each person. However, what Dai Li didn't expect was that he would arouse the contempt of the athletes.
The slight showed during practice the next afternoon.
Whether athletes respect their coaches can be easily seen from the degree of execution in daily training. For example, a very authoritative and iron-blooded coach will insist on standing up and completing the next training even if he tires the athletes to death; and an unpopular coach, even if he arranges the simplest training tasks, The athletes also performed so-so.
Dai Li felt the athletes' contempt for him at the first moment.
He has encountered this situation before in the national team. During those two months of observation and study, although he was disguised as a coach, he was not recognized by the athletes. Athletes also know that these young coaches are here to observe and learn. They cannot stay in the national team for a long time. Naturally, they regard them as outsiders and do not care about their existence in daily training.
It was not until later that Li Dai successfully stayed and followed Xue Li and became Xue Li's favorite disciple that the athletes' attitude towards Li Dai changed. This was partly due to Li Dai's hard work, but also because of his pretentiousness. factor.
Now Dai Li feels the contempt of the athletes again, but now Dai Li is no longer the stupid young man he used to be. He knows that if he wants these athletes to be convinced, it is not enough to be fierce. The key is to win. Show some real skills and let them know that you are very high-level, so that you can calm them down.
"Hey, I have to show off again. The most annoying thing is showing off." Dai Li took a deep breath, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to gather.
…
"After yesterday afternoon's training, I found that you still have many problems in your sprinting skills, so in the next training, I will focus on solving your technical shortcomings." Li Dai said slowly.
After hearing what Li Dai said, several athletes had different thoughts.
"He is only a few years older than us and may not know as much as I do about sprinting techniques. How can he help us solve our technical shortcomings?"
"What a shameless statement. How many athletes have you trained at your age? Maybe the graduate assistants in our sports department are better than you!"
"Hey, I hope this young coach is really capable. At least he won't arrange training plans blindly. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to improve, but our level may decline."
Although no one showed any displeasure on their faces, their hearts were still full of negative emotions towards Dai Li.
Li Dai directly called his name: "Du Liang, you come out!"
Du Liang took a step forward, and Li Dai said: "Your main problem is landing. When you land, there are problems with the two technical movements of quickly extending your legs and actively grabbing the ground with your feet. Your The hip extensor muscles and ankle muscles contract too early, and the force cannot be fully transmitted to the ground quickly.”
"This premature contraction of the hip extensor muscles and ankle muscles not only affects the speed of the calf and hip joints at the moment of landing and the force exerted in the post-support phase, but also causes the knee joint to move forward before landing. High tension."
Dai Li slowed down his speaking speed as much as possible and tried to make his words as clear as possible. He hoped that Du Liang could understand what he meant. At the same time, the slower speaking speed also gave Du Liang time to think. Is what I said correct
Another important reason is naturally to let other athletes hear it, so that they can show off their level.
Dai Li said while looking at Du Liang.
Du Liang's expression became more and more solemn. When he talked about the latter part, Du Liang's eyes shone with a shocked expression on his face.
"It turned out to be all right. He really saw my technical flaws!"
