Dai Li got his wish and joined the table tennis team and became the team's acting physical coach.
On the training ground, Li Dai gave a brief self-introduction. While getting to know each other with the athletes, he also monitored the athletes on the table tennis team.
"Talent C+; Talent C+; Talent C+..."
Three athletes in a row are all C+ level talents.
"Table tennis is indeed a national sport. Among provincial teams, C+ level talents are the most common. If placed in a track and field team, C+ level talents will definitely be the main force in the provincial team. There is even a high possibility that they will enter the national team. national team."
Dai Li continued to detect athletes and finally discovered a player with B-level talent.
"You have B-talent, but you're not selected for the national team!"
Dai Li was sighing in his heart when Wang Ping pointed to a man in his twenties or fourteen with dark skin and said: "This is Zhu Feng, the highest-level athlete in our team. Zhu Feng is also the one who has the best chance of entering the national team. Players.”
"Coach Li, hello!" Zhu Feng immediately greeted Dai Li.
While Dai Li responded, he also detected Zhu Feng.
"Talent B+! Such a good talent is also led by the provincial training team. This talent is already very good. If it is in track and field, even in the national team, he is also the main athlete. Unexpectedly, table tennis In terms of events, B+ talent can only dominate the provincial team. Doesn’t that mean that the national table tennis team is full of players with A-level talent? In other words, there is more than one S-level athlete in the national team. .”
Dai Li began to make bold guesses in his mind.
After all, Dai Li has been in the national track and field team for a long time and knows every athlete on the national track and field team very well. Athletes with B-level talent like Niu Guohong, although they were already 22 years old when they entered the national team, are still the focus of training for the national team.
In fact, in every event of the national track and field team, the main players are all athletes with B-level talent. Some weak events even rely on athletes with C+ talent to support their appearance. There are only a handful of athletes with A-level talent in the national team, such as Yang Sijie and Fang Haiquan, who are hailed as rare geniuses in decades.
From the perspective of athlete talent, there is really no comparison between track and field and table tennis, but this is also directly proportional to the strength of the project.
The track and field level of the national team is definitely not weak. After all, there are gold medals in track and field at every Olympic Games, and they often win championships in the World Track and Field Championships. Therefore, with the strength of the national team, even if it cannot be called a first-class track and field power, But the world's second-rate level will still be recognized internationally.
As for table tennis, the national team is the gathering place for "big devils". For foreign players, any person sent by the national team will be a hellish opponent. The national team has absolute dominance in the world in table tennis. , is undisputed. For example, in world-class competitions, it is not new for the national team to win all the gold medals. Failure to win all the gold medals will become big news.
Therefore, it is normal for domestic athletes to be highly talented in table tennis.
In addition to talent, detection results also reveal an athlete's shortcomings. But the shortcomings in table tennis technology are something that Li Dai cannot solve.
Dai Li is only a physical fitness coach, not a professional table tennis coach, not to mention that table tennis is a sport that emphasizes technology.
In fact, Dai Li's table tennis skills are pretty good. At least when he picks up the racket, whether he is serving or receiving, he can always hit a few decent shots. But when it comes to coaching professional athletes, he is also a member of the provincial training team. As an athlete, Dai Li is definitely far from qualified. Even if Dai Li knew the technical shortcomings of a certain athlete, he would not have the ability to guide the athlete.
The level of domestic table tennis coaches is also very high. For example, many of the table tennis coaches of the provincial training teams are national players, and even once were top national players. They have technical, experience, and understanding of table tennis. In terms of understanding, they are all top-notch in the world, and there is no need for Dai Li to do anything he wants to do.
So since joining the table tennis team, Li Dai has only done his job as a physical coach.
As a physical fitness coach, Li Dai is very comfortable. What he learned in the national track and field team is enough to cope with the physical training of any event.
Among all sports, track and field is the one with the highest requirements for physical training. Compared with other sports, track and field is much simpler. It is nothing more than comparing who can run faster, who can jump higher and farther, and who can jump higher and farther. Who can throw the object longer, etc. In these types of competitions, the role of the physical coach will be particularly important.
In other sports, the importance of physical training is obviously not at the top.
For example, in basketball and football, in addition to practicing physical fitness, athletes also need to practice skills, coordination, and tactics. In games, coordination and tactics are more important than the athletes' personal abilities. Some slightly famous basketball coaches or football coaches have their own set of tactical theories that they are good at. Top basketball coaches and football coaches are even masters of tactics, but I have never heard of that first-class basketball coach or football coach. He became a famous teacher through physical training.
Most individual events require more skills than physical skills. Shooting, for example, is a sport that relies entirely on technique. Even if the athletes are not in good physical condition, they have to sit down and rest after shooting, but as long as they shoot accurately, they can still do it. Can win the championship.
Another example is fighting sports, such as boxing and taekwondo. No matter how hard the punches are, no matter how sharp the kicks, and no matter how strong the physical strength is, it is still useless if you can't hit the person. In many cases, you only need one punch to get a KO. , to win the game.
Among water sports, diving is inherently a sport with high technical requirements, and swimming, like running, is a racing sport, but the athlete’s physical talent is the most important. The athlete’s hands and soles are big enough, and every time You can get more power when paddling and kicking. This is also the basic condition for becoming a swimmer. Those with small hands and feet will definitely be eliminated during the selection of the swimming team.
Precisely because track and field projects rely heavily on physical coaches, any track and field coach's physical training level will not be too bad. And track and field coaches are definitely qualified to serve as physical fitness coaches for other sports.
What's more, Dai Li also has the help of a detector. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of each athlete.
Although Dai Li can't help with the technical aspects of table tennis, he can help athletes improve the shortcomings related to physical training.
On the first day he joined the table tennis team, Dai Li showed a convincing performance.
…
The physical training of table tennis mainly includes the following points: speed training, agility training, strength training and endurance training. These four items do not involve very professional technical movements and belong to the scope of work of physical coaches.
Speed training mainly includes the speed of arm swing when hitting the ball and the speed of body movement when getting into position. When playing table tennis, after a single quick movement, the muscles can relax and maintain a short interval, so they can last for a longer time without fatigue. Moreover, table tennis competitions also require athletes to judge quickly, react quickly, start quickly, swing quickly, move quickly, and change the direction of action quickly. Only by doing this can we seize opportunities and seize the initiative in the fast and complex competition. And these all require athletes to have good speed.
The athlete's sensitivity will affect how quickly the athlete responds to movements and the accuracy of his judgment. The characteristics of table tennis also require table tennis players to make various reactions quickly with dexterous movements on the field. At the same time, it can enhance the body's sensitivity, improve the coordination of movements, and improve the accuracy of technical movements. Athletes can also adapt to changes better and control their bodies accurately.
Strength is an aspect that cannot be ignored in modern table tennis. Especially in recent years, the rules of table tennis have changed, which has led to changes in the technical structure of table tennis, and higher strength requirements for athletes. Today's table tennis has higher and higher requirements for the rotation and speed of the ball. Without a certain amount of strength, it is impossible to hit the ball with high rotation and speed.
Endurance is necessary for most sports, and playing table tennis certainly requires endurance. Table tennis is inherently a sport with constantly changing rhythm and intensity. If athletes lack endurance, they will not be able to adapt to the changes in rhythm and intensity during the game. Moreover, the International Table Tennis Association changed the small ball to a large ball and formulated the "unobstructed serve" rule, which made the running speed and rotation intensity of table tennis weaker than before, and the number of stalemate ball rounds in the game was significantly increased, which is very important for table tennis. Athletes' endurance requirements have also become more stringent.
In addition, since each athlete's playing style and type are different, the physical training of table tennis players must not be one-size-fits-all. Physical training methods must be formulated based on the technical characteristics of the players' playing styles. For example, some athletes have a strength-based style of play, and their strength is not weak to begin with, so there is no need for long-term special strength training.
At the same time, you must also pay attention to the timing of training. For example, when doing agility training, it is best to do it at the beginning of the training, when the athletes will be more energetic. Because only when you are energetic, the excitation and inhibition processes of the central nervous system will be stronger and more balanced, and the accuracy will be higher. In this state, it is conducive to the development of athletes' sensitivity.
Before speed training, some more intense sprinting or more intense upper limb exercises should be performed appropriately. This will help improve the excitability of the nerve process and achieve better results in physical training.
After speed training, you can practice jumping ability, which is helpful to coordinate the functions of the central nervous system, thereby promoting the simultaneous improvement of speed and jumping.
…
After the day's training, the athletes left the training ground in groups.
"This new coach Li is really very capable. He can tell at a glance that my sensitivity is not good enough. I will start training on whistle running tomorrow."
"Coach Li also saw the shortcomings of my lack of endurance and added a 1,500-meter run to my training."
"Why do I feel that this new Coach Li is at a higher level than the previous Coach Ma!"
"Of course. I heard that Coach Li spent some time in the national track and field team, and also led several Asian Games champions! He is the ace coach of the track and field team! If it weren't for a deputy chief staff member , they are not willing to condescend to come to us as a physical trainer."
"There is such an inside story, please tell me!"
Several nosy athletes immediately came over.
Rumors have always been more exaggerated as they spread. Originally, one plus one equals two, but after being passed on to others several times, there will be several different versions of the result.
…
Recently, Dai Li has given up on the "king of pesticides" and has become obsessed with "eating chicken." After a day's work, Dai Li ate something hastily in the cafeteria and went straight to the Internet cafe.
After playing for two hours, experiencing "falling into a box" several times, and being violently abused by various "old yinbi", Dai Li returned to the dormitory with a very poor gaming experience.
However, in front of Dai Li's dormitory door, there was a man in his fifties standing there.
This man is not tall, has dark skin, and although his clothes are not plain, they are by no means a valuable brand.
The man saw Dai Li coming over and stared at him for a few times, as if to confirm Dai Li's identity. Then he asked, "Are you Dai Li, coach Li?"
"Yes, I am Li Dai. Who are you? What can I do for you?" Li Dai looked at the other person inexplicably. He had no impression of this person at all.
"Coach Li, I've finally waited for you!" A smile appeared on the man's face. Then he took a few steps forward and said, "I am Zhu Feng's father. Zhu Feng of the table tennis team."
"Oh! It turns out to be Uncle Zhu." Li Dai immediately thought of Zhu Feng, who was dark-skinned and short in stature, but had B+ level talent. Judging from this, Zhu Feng and his father did look very similar.
"Uncle Zhu, what do you want from me?" Dai Li asked next.
"Ah, it's not very convenient here. Can we go in and talk?" Zhu Feng's father pointed to Dai Li's door.
Dai Li hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway, opened the door, went in first and gathered the debris. At the same time, he said apologetically: "Uncle Zhu, I'm sorry, I didn't clean it up, it's a bit messy."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Feng's father waved his hand quickly, closed the door on his own initiative, and then took out an envelope from his pocket.
"Coach Li, please accept this." Zhu Feng's father carefully handed over the envelope.
"What is this?" Li Dai subconsciously took the envelope, but the moment he grabbed the envelope, Li Dai felt that there was a thick pile inside, which should be money.
Dai Li was slightly startled. He hurriedly opened the envelope. There was indeed a thick wad of banknotes inside. Judging from the thickness, it should be 10,000 yuan.
"Uncle Zhu, what do you mean?" Dai Li's expression turned grim.
Zhu Feng's father rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said hesitantly: "Coach Li, I heard that you have connections in Huajing. I want to see if you can get our Zhu Feng to join the national team!"
"What?" Li Dai even felt that he didn't hear clearly.
"Coach Li, I know this money is not enough. This is just a meeting gift. As long as our Zhu Feng can join the national team, you can give it as much as you want!" Zhu Feng's father said grandly.
At this time, Dai Li finally understood. After working for a long time, Zhu Feng's father was here to give him a red envelope!
