"Dong dong dong..."
Dai Li knocked on the door of Chu Weidong's office.
"Please come in!" Chu Weidong's voice sounded from inside the room, and Dai Li opened the door and walked in.
"Coach, are you looking for me?" Dai Li stepped forward.
"Xiao Li, sit down first." Chu Weidong pointed to the chair opposite the desk, lowered his head, and started searching among the pile of information in front of him.
After a while, Chu Weidong found something like a form, raised his head at the same time, and asked: "Xiao Li, do you know UCLA?"
"That University of California, Los Angeles in the United States? That's a top-notch prestigious school in the United States!" Dai Li answered.
"Yes, it's the University of California, Los Angeles." Chu Weidong then asked: "There is an Institute of Athletes' Competitiveness in the United States, also called AP. Have you heard of it?"
Dai Li thought for a while and asked: "Are you talking about the AP Physical Training Center? The one in Arizona, USA? This is the most famous athlete physical training center in the world. Many famous sports brands are their sponsors. Adidas, EAS sports nutrition, and Gatorade sports drinks all seem to be their sponsors.”
Chu Weidong nodded: "Yes, but this AP physical training center is not only in Arizona, the United States. They are in Carson City, California, Andrew University in Florida, and Texas. There are training bases in Frisco, California. Among them, the training base in California has the most advanced equipment."
As Chu Weidong spoke, he paused and asked, "Xiao Li, are you interested in going to the United States?"
"Going to the United States? Are you going to California? UCLA? And AP?" Dai Li asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's California." Chu Weidong said: "Now we have such an opportunity. Our bureau organized us to study in the United States for about ten days. The main study places are UCLA and AP Physical Training Center. UCLA is the first-class comprehensive university in the United States and the cradle of American business and finance, high-tech industry and film art. This university ranks among the top three public universities in the United States all year round, and is also ranked among the top ten in the United States. It is also ranked globally. Within the top fifteen. Even UCLA has produced 16 Nobel Prize winners.”
"As for sports, UCLA has also achieved very good results. If you watch the NBA in the United States, you should know that many superstars are from UCLA. This is actually just the tip of the iceberg of UCLA. UCLA students or alumni have participated in the NBA since 1928 In every Olympic Games since then, a total of 233 medals have been won, including 123 gold medals." Chu Weidong continued.
"123 gold medals? I remember that since our country participated in the Olympics, we have won less than 200 gold medals, right? This UCLA is just a university, and it can definitely surpass most countries in the world." Li Dai lamented. He said that although he knew that UCLA was powerful, he did not expect that UCLA would be so powerful.
"That's why UCLA has become the destination for us to study." Chu Weidong continued: "The AP Training Center was established in the late 1990s. At that time, the personal training industry in the United States was not yet developed, and athletes mainly relied on sports. Experts within the team and the university provide support and guidance.”
"Later, Professor Verstegen, a sports science major, established the AP Training Center with the sponsorship of Adidas. He organized a group of professionals, including coaches, doctors, physical therapists, nutritionists, human soft tissue experts, sports Psychology experts provide scientific training methods and one-stop services to athletes. Due to its advanced concepts and reasonable training, the AP Training Center quickly attracted many outstanding athletes in the United States."
"But the AP Training Center is really famous for its cooperation with the American NFL, that is, the National Football League. At that time, the AP Training Center launched a preparatory training program. Athletes with the potential to join the Major League Rugby League would enter the AP Training Center. Trained and prepared to be tested by the major leagues, now seven or eight athletes who train at the AP Training Center are selected by NFL teams every year."
"Later, the AP Training Center cooperated with the AEG Group. The AP training venue in Carson City, California, was developed by the AEG Group. With the resources of the AEG Group, the AP Training Center became the top athlete and future sports center in the United States. The training place for stars. AEG Group, you should know about it, right?"
Dai Li nodded. AEG Group is the world's top sports entertainment group. Many people think that AEG is a giant in the entertainment industry, but in the sports industry, AEG is also a giant. AEG Group controls the most sports venues in the United States, and in AEG Group also has a large stake in the teams in the four major leagues in the United States. Therefore, the athlete resources controlled by AEG can indeed push the AP training center to the top in the United States.
Chu Weidong continued: "Later, the AP Training Center cooperated with the German national football team. The AP Training Center provided a personalized training plan for the players of the German team. In that World Cup, the German team finally achieved Second place, AP Training Center has become an internationally renowned training center in one fell swoop.”
Dai Li was a little worried, and he said: "UCLA and AP Training Center are both awesome places. If we can really go and visit them, I would definitely like it. But will they let us go to such a high-end place?" "
Li Dai felt that this matter was not reliable. He had been in the national team, but even as a coach of the national team, he did not have the opportunity to study in places such as UCLA or AP Training Center. The Hanbei Provincial Sports Team is just a provincial team, how could it get such a good opportunity
Chu Weidong explained: "Our Provincial Sports Bureau must not have such a big reputation. It was contacted by the AEG Group. The AEG Group has always wanted to enter our domestic sports industry. He hopes to invest in our province's sports industry." In order to show their goodwill, the venue contacted us UCLA and AP Training Center in the United States, and we had such an opportunity to study abroad. In fact, UCLA and AP Training Center receive so many visitors every year, this kind of thing is very important to us It’s difficult for me to say, but to AEG Group, it’s just a word from me.”
"Do I need to pay?" Dai Li asked in a low voice.
"You don't have to spend money personally, but our bureau will definitely have to pay for it." Chu Weidong went on to explain: "AEG Group is only responsible for contacting UCLA and the AP training center. The specific expenses during the entire learning process, including air tickets, meals Accommodation, etc. are all paid for by the bureau.”
"How many people are going?" Dai Li asked next.
"Not many, about twenty people, no more than thirty people at most." Chu Weidong continued: "There must be a quota limit for things like going abroad. The bureau has budgeted for one person to go out on this trip. , it will cost at least one hundred thousand yuan. So except for a few bureau leaders, almost every training team will have a quota. I plan to give you this quota for our track and field team!"
"Coach, this isn't appropriate. There are so many excellent coaches in our team who are more qualified than me..." Dai Li declined cautiously, actually testing Chu Weidong's attitude.
"Can my qualifications help me get a gold medal in the National Games?" Chu Weidong pouted.
"I'm afraid that other coaches will have opinions about this!" Dai Li continued.
"You don't have to worry about this." Chu Weidong continued: "Actually, when I went abroad this time, the other training teams were all headed by head coaches. The quota for our team was originally supposed to be mine as the head coach. Now I have taken this I’ll give you the opportunity to go abroad, so what else can others say?”
Dai Li was suddenly moved.
Chu Weidong handed the form in his hand to Li Dai: "Fill in this personal information first, and I will report you to the bureau later. By the way, don't forget to apply for a passport quickly. If you don't have a passport, , you can’t leave the country!”
