The car stopped slowly, and Gu Zhizhong got out of the car.
Everyone is no stranger to Gu Zhizhong. He was once the number one in the world and dominated the world table tennis for ten years. He is the first "Grand Slam" winner in the history of national table tennis to have won the Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup. He is said to be the first generation table tennis idol.
People of Li Dai's age basically grew up watching Gu Zhizhong play, and those coaches who were more than ten years older than Li Dai all regarded Gu Zhizhong as their idol when they were athletes.
Compared with his days as an athlete, Gu Zhizhong is indeed much fatter now, and he looks like a fat middle-aged man, but his championship temperament cannot be concealed by dozens of kilograms of weight.
With the appearance of Gu Zhizhong, many coaches in the welcoming team had burning eyes. They were looking forward to their athletes being selected by Gu Zhizhong.
When the national team coach comes to inspect athletes, the process is similar. He first goes to the conference room to listen to the report and the coach's introduction, and then goes to the training ground to observe the training. If necessary, he will also ask to watch a certain training.
For a technically demanding sport like table tennis, the coach of the national team will even personally pick up the racket and go to the table tennis table to verify the player's level.
But none of this has anything to do with Li Dai. He is a physical fitness coach. His job is to train the physical fitness of every player in the table tennis team, rather than being responsible for a specific athlete. So after the welcoming ceremony for Gu Zhizhong ended, Dai Li returned to his post and continued to complete his work.
…
In the training room, Dai Li is leading several young athletes who have just joined the provincial team to do strength exercises.
"Xiao Li! Come here!" Wang Ping's voice suddenly sounded from behind Dai Li.
Dai Li turned around in surprise and saw Wang Ping walking over with a smile on his face.
"Why is Wang Ping here? Shouldn't he be accompanying Gu Zhizhong at this time? Has Gu Zhizhong already left? Not so soon?" Several questions flashed through Dai Li's mind.
Normally, it would be normal for Wang Ping to appear anywhere on the table tennis team, but today is the day when Gu Zhizhong comes to visit. As the head coach of the table tennis team, Wang Ping is supposed to be by Gu Zhizhong's side, so how could he? Kung Fu came to find Li Dai, an "irrelevant person".
"Coach Wang, do you have a problem with me?" Dai Li asked tentatively.
"Xiao Li, follow me to the conference room. Coach Gu wants to see you." Wang Ping was still smiling.
"Coach Gu? Is it Coach Gu Zhizhong? He wants to see me?" Dai Li couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes!" Wang Ping nodded seriously.
"Coach, why is Gu Zhizhong looking for me?" Dai Li asked in a low voice.
"He didn't say it, but I thought about it, it must be a good thing!" Wang Ping smiled even brighter: "Don't ask so many questions, you will know when we get there, come with me!"
Dai Li followed Wang Ping in a daze to the conference room, and then met the famous Gu Zhizhong.
Gu Zhizhong looked at Dai Li curiously, as if he had seen something new, and even gave Dai Li goosebumps.
After Dai Li sat down, Gu Zhizhong did not beat around the bush. He was a very decisive person and immediately asked straight to the point: "Coach Li, the purpose of inviting you here is to ask you if you are interested in joining the national table tennis team. ?”
Dai Li was surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Zhizhong wanted to recruit him as soon as they met.
After a while, Dai Li realized what he was doing. He said instinctively: "I am a track and field coach. I don't understand table tennis training!"
"Our National Table Tennis Team does not lack professional table tennis coaches, but we lack excellent physical fitness coaches. So I would like to invite you to the National Table Tennis Team to be our physical fitness coach." Gu Zhizhong continued.
"Why did you choose me?" Dai Li then asked.
Gu Zhizhong smiled slightly: "I have read your resume. You have led several Asian Games champions. I have just discussed it with coach Wang Ping. I think you are very suitable to join our national table tennis team as a physical fitness coach. . So on behalf of the National Table Tennis Team, I would like to formally extend an invitation to you, hoping that you can join."
Dai Li was still a little at a loss. This happened so suddenly that Dai Li's mind was temporarily in a "fragmented" state and he lost the ability to think.
Gu Zhizhong went on to introduce: "Table tennis is a national sport, so compared with other sports, the General Administration of Sports supports our national table tennis team more strongly, and table tennis has a relatively good foundation in the country, with mass participation. It’s very high, so the future of table tennis is definitely beyond doubt.”
"In terms of sponsorship, our table tennis project also has advantages. Take our national table tennis team as an example. The current major sponsors are all well-known domestic brands. In this regard, other projects are far better than Not making it to our national table tennis team."
"The welfare of our national table tennis team coaches is also among the best in various sports..."
Gu Zhizhong introduced the national table tennis team and made a lot of noise.
In fact, this is like corporate poaching. If you want to poach talents, you must introduce the company's advantages to impress the talents. If the company is useless, has no scale, and has development potential but no development potential, the talents will definitely not be willing to come.
The same goes for Gu Zhizhong, who almost introduced the National Table Tennis Team as a Fortune 500 company.
Just saying that the company has strength obviously won't be able to recruit talents. The key is to give people a suitable treatment. Even if it's Microsoft or Apple, it won't be able to recruit people if they don't give them a suitable salary. Anyone who can be called a "talent" will never work for others in vain.
So Gu Zhizhong continued: "Coach Li, if you are willing to join our National Table Tennis Team, we will hire you as the official coach of the National Table Tennis Team. Like other coaches of the National Table Tennis Team, the establishment and salary will be based on that of national civil servants. Before you There will be no change in my administrative duties, and I will enjoy all the benefits that I should enjoy."
When Dai Li heard this, he couldn't help but feel shaken. The official establishment of the national table tennis team, this is a good thing! Compared with the current establishment of the provincial sports team, it is obviously a step up.
When he was in the national track and field team, Li Dai was only on secondment, not a formal national team coach. This would be restricted in many aspects, so Li Dai also wanted to obtain a formal status in the national team. Now, the opportunity has come to Dai Li.
Gu Zhizhong continued: "Our national table tennis team is the best in the world in terms of overall strength and individual abilities of the athletes. We have the best table tennis players in the world, and we also occupy an absolute position in the world table tennis world." Dominance. I believe that in other teams, you will never find so many world champions, and you will definitely not have so many of the world's top athletes. So for coaches, come to the National Table Tennis Team to train so many top table tennis players Players are also a challenge!”
"Li Dai, another reason why I am optimistic about you is precisely because of your youth. Young people should have the courage to try and face various challenges. I believe you are not the kind of person who is content with the status quo! I am optimistic Your potential and your ability are recognized. You should belong to a bigger stage! And our national table tennis team can give you just the stage to perform!"
After Gu Zhizhong finished talking about "company size" and job benefits, he started to drink "Chicken Soup for the Soul."
Gu Zhizhong's level of chicken soup for the soul was not very high, but what he said deeply moved Dai Li.
"Gu Zhizhong is right. The national table tennis team has the world's top players, both in terms of strength and talent. They are the best in the world. And this means that I can get more experience!"
Experience is what Li Dai needs. At this time, Li Dai began to calculate silently.
In terms of the overall level of athletes, the national track and field team is definitely not as good as the national table tennis team. Among the national track and field team, A-level talents Fang Haiquan and Yang Sijie are already the strongest players, while in table tennis, they are B+ The talented Zhu Feng was not even selected for the national team!
Dai Li could foresee that in the national table tennis team, there would be several players with S-level talents, and there would also be a lot of players with A-level talents. At the same time, the athletes' ability values would definitely be higher. This will give Li Dai more experience.
Moreover, national table tennis team athletes have more opportunities to participate in international competitions, and as long as they participate, they can basically win the championship. And this can also provide Dai Li with a lot of experience rewards.
In contrast, only a few members of the national track and field team can compete on the international stage, and even if they participate, it is difficult to achieve results. It is difficult for Dai Li to obtain additional experience points from this.
Obviously, according to the system settings, the higher Dai Li's level, the more experience points he needs to upgrade. And if he wants to upgrade as quickly as possible, Dai Li must train athletes with higher levels and better talents.
"The table tennis team, among all the training teams in the country, the national table tennis team can provide me with the highest experience value!"
Dai Li understands that his biggest reliance is the coaching system. The improvement of the coaching level also means the improvement of Dai Li's ability.
"I am only a first-class coach now. As the level increases, I will definitely need more and more experience. If I continue in my current state, it may really take more than ten years to advance to the next level." Li Dai thought of this and took a deep breath: "I can't wait any longer!"
Next to him, Gu Zhizhong took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Dai Li: "Coach Li, I know this matter. It is difficult for you to make a decision at the moment. You can go back and think about it first. This is my business card, if you think about it carefully, you can call me."
Dai Li took the business card with both hands, but there was a solemn look on his face.
"No need to think about it, Coach Gu, I am willing to join the national table tennis team." Li Dai said.
Gu Zhizhong was slightly surprised, then smiled.
"People go to higher places!" Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
