"Li Dai!" Gu Zhizhong repeated the name again.
Wang Bin said from the side: "A physical fitness coach can bring a huge improvement to a table tennis team. This sounds very mysterious!"
"But it's a fact. Wang Ping doesn't have to lie to us about this kind of thing." Gu Zhizhong continued: "Today's table tennis is different from the past. The rules have changed. If you want to defeat your opponent, you need speed and Spin is the development trend of table tennis. Physical fitness coaches will also become more and more important."
"That's right. In terms of table tennis technology, we have basically developed it to the limit. Under the current table tennis rules, it is difficult to develop new technical styles. Therefore, we can only tap the athletes' talents from other aspects. Potential, enhance the strength of athletes." Wang Bin then asked: "Do you need me to check the information about this Li Dai? I heard that he has also been in the national track and field team, so he should be able to recruit a lot of information.".
Gu Zhizhong nodded: "Go check it out. Talent is rare. If it is a talent, we can't give it away. Anyway, we still have a coaching spot in our team this year!"
…
As soon as Gu Zhizhong and Wang Bin left, Lin Tao approached Wang Ping.
"Coach, why do I think you sold Dai Li! If Gu Zhizhong really takes a fancy to Dai Li, he will definitely poach people! I know Gu Zhizhong, he is an action person." Lin Tao said said.
Wang Ping glared at Lin Tao and said, "Gu Zhizhong is the head coach of the national table tennis team. People are coming to ask questions. How can I hide it? Besides, we can't keep this Li Dai."
"But he is from the track and field team after all..." Lin Tao muttered.
"That's why we should tell Gu Zhizhong to recruit people!" Wang Ping lowered his voice and said: "If Gu Zhizhong recruits Li Dai to the national table tennis team, then he is not a track and field coach, but a table tennis coach. Well, if there is another national championship, or National Games, and the national team coach is recalled to the provincial team, Li Dai will be a member of our table tennis team!"
Lin Tao showed an expression as if he had suddenly realized something, and at the same time he couldn't help but extend his thumb: "Coach, you are still taller!"
…
On the other side, Wang Bin also quickly found relevant information about Dai Li.
"Lao Gu, all the information about Dai Li is here." Wang Bin handed the folder to Gu Zhizhong and continued: "He is indeed a talent. He has coached an Asian Games champion and is an Asian Games champion coach under the age of thirty. And He is still Xue Li’s close disciple. It’s hard to find someone like this!”
Gu Zhizhong looked at Dai Li's resume and sighed: "Looking at his resume, he is really an amazing guy. With his resume, there is absolutely no problem in joining our team as a physical trainer."
"I said Lao Gu, are you listening to me? He is Xue Li's disciple and the coach of the Asian Games champion. With such outstanding ability, how can the national track and field team be willing to let him go? After all, Xue Li has been a lifelong coach. He is a coach, he has deep qualifications, and even if he has no credit, he still has hard work, so it would not be good for us to recruit people from him!" Wang Bin asked with some consideration.
"What's wrong!" Gu Zhizhong glared at Wang Bin, and then said: "Our team is missing a first-class physical coach! Now that such a good candidate has come to our door, is it possible that we don't want to do it anyway? "
"I'm just worried that the national track and field team won't let him go!" Wang Bin continued.
"Isn't it written in your document? Now Li Dai's personnel relationship is still with the Hanbei Provincial Sports Bureau. We will directly give him a formal position in the national team. Recruiting people from the Hanbei Provincial Sports Team is a job increase. ! The Hanbei Provincial Sports Team is so excited that they dare to stop it?" Gu Zhizhong said with his mouth raised.
"It's up to you and me to raise the salary, right? But what if Dai Li doesn't want to come?" Wang Bin asked next.
"So this time I plan to take action personally!" Gu Zhizhong continued: "After the national championship, I immediately went to Qingcheng and announced that I was going to inspect the athletes. Didn't Zhu Feng perform very well? I will go and see him !”
A knowing smile suddenly appeared on Wang Bin's face: "I understand, you are planning to build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly!"
Gu Zhizhong nodded, his expression no longer looked sleepy, but he said with bright eyes: "This kind of poaching cannot be done openly, and it must be resolved quickly. Before Xue Li and the track and field team could react, they quickly settled the matter! We should deal with the human relations first. Once a person is in our team, no one else can take him away."
…
Due to the characteristics of track and field, it is definitely more than enough for a track and field coach to become a physical coach, and an excellent track and field coach will definitely be excellent in physical training. Therefore, with Li Dai's level, there is absolutely no problem in working as a physical coach for the National Table Tennis Team.
There is no shortage of excellent table tennis coaches in the National Table Tennis Team. Those top national table tennis players, who hold several world championship titles on their shoulders, will basically stay as coaches in the National Table Tennis Team after retirement. These former world champions are among the best in the world in terms of their table tennis skills, experience in table tennis competitions, and understanding of table tennis. Let them serve as professional table tennis coaches and return to their old profession. .
But physical training is not the strength of these table tennis coaches. He is a technical person, so even if he is not an intelligence hero, he is still an agility hero and cannot do the work of a strength hero. Let them be good at spell output, but not so good at resisting monsters.
In fact, the domestic athlete training system has always focused on technology and not much on physical training. Therefore, in some sports with high technical requirements and regardless of weight class, the national team has always occupied a relatively strong position, such as gymnastics, diving, shooting, etc., and can win a few gold medals in every competition.
In some weight class sports, national players also have advantages in lightweight confrontations. Especially for confrontational sports, such as boxing, judo, taekwondo, wrestling, etc., the weight limit for men is within 70 kilograms and for women is within 60 kilograms. The strength of the national athletes is among the best in the world.
When it comes to the heavy weight classes, the level of the national athletes is obviously a lower level, such as heavyweight boxing and heavyweight judo. The fundamental reason is that physical training is not in place. The heavyweight competition has higher physical requirements. The national players have no skills, but they suffer from physical fitness. They cannot defeat their opponents in a fight. If they delay, they will not be able to defeat them. This means they have no weapons to win and lose. The competition is just a matter of time.
In European and American countries, physical training is taken very seriously, and the status of physical coaches is very high. Professional physical training centers are popping up everywhere, and excellent physical trainers can earn two to three hundred thousand dollars a year, which is no less than that of lawyers and doctors.
Table tennis has always been a technical sport, but it has undergone some changes in recent years. If foreigners' playing skills are not as good as yours, they will start from the rules and competition equipment. All rules that are beneficial to you will be weakened, and all tools that you use easily will be changed.
As the head coach of the national table tennis team, Gu Zhizhong has long been aware of this, so he has been eagerly looking for an excellent physical coach.
However, in the domestic system, it is really difficult to find good physical coaches.
There are good physical fitness coaches abroad, but the National Table Tennis Team cannot hire foreign teachers. As table tennis is a national sport, the National Table Tennis Team is absolutely the best in the world. If they hire foreign teachers again, the coaches of the National Table Tennis Team will be disgraced. .
Of course, lack of money is another factor. Hiring a foreign physical coach costs a lot of money. Take the physical coaches in Europe as an example. Not to mention the Premier League and La Liga, even the physical coaches in the Eredivisie have an annual salary of 300,000 US dollars a year. And if they are asked to work far away from home in Asia, Definitely have to add more money.
Eredivisie-level physical coaches will definitely not satisfy the big devils of the national table tennis team. If the national team wants to hire a foreign physical coach, it must at least be hired from the United States. The price of American physical coaches will be higher. After all, they only cost a penny. You get what you pay for.
The National Table Tennis Team has many advertising sponsors, and there must be money, but it is public funds, and the money must be audited. If you hire a foreign coach for hundreds of thousands of dollars at once, you will not be able to pass the audit 100%. Who can Whoever dares to sign and agree will be held responsible.
So when Gu Zhizhong learned about Li Dai, he couldn't wait to recruit people. To recruit Li Dai, Gu Zhizhong only had to pay for a formal position in the national team, and did not need to spend a lot of dollars. Even if Li Dai is not as good as those foreign physical coaches, as long as he is better than domestic physical coaches, Gu Zhizhong will be satisfied.
And it’s better than nothing!
…
The National Table Tennis Championships are over. The Hanbei Provincial Table Tennis Team finally won two bronze medals in the team competition, one for the men's team and one for the women's team, but no singles and doubles.
Wang Ping is already very satisfied with this result. There is no national player in their team, so they will definitely miss out on medals in singles and doubles events. However, winning two team bronze medals without a national player is definitely a breakthrough. Unpopular.
Later, Wang Ping received news that Gu Zhizhong, the head coach of the National Table Tennis Team, was going to Hanbei Table Tennis Team to inspect athletes.
This is not something unexpected. The players performed well and attracted the attention of the national team coach, so it is normal to come to inspect them in person. It's just that this time the person who came to inspect the athletes was Gu Zhizhong, the head coach of the National Table Tennis Team. Compared with other coaches of the National Table Tennis Team, he obviously has more weight.
In the table tennis team of Hanbei Province, the athletes including Zhu Feng were extremely excited. For the athletes of the provincial team, if they want to go further, they can only join the national team. Entering the national team is the first step for everyone in the provincial team. An athlete's goal.
Everything seemed normal, and no one realized that Gu Zhizhong's real goal was not the athletes, but Dai Li!
