The national table tennis team currently has a total of 78 athletes. There are 16 men and women in the first team, totaling 32 people. The remaining 46 people are athletes in the second team.
The 32 quotas for the first team are fixed and will not increase or decrease. When athletes from the second team enter the first team through promotion and relegation, there will inevitably be athletes from the first team who are eliminated to the second team.
The number of players in the second team is not fixed. New players often join the second team, and players are often eliminated and returned to the provincial team. But in general, the second team must have more people than the first team.
Of course, when formulating training plans for national team athletes, you cannot use the "one pot stew" method. Each athlete has different technical characteristics, different physical conditions, and different ages. The training plans are naturally different, so everyone's training plan is different. They are all targeted and unique.
This is a very complex job. The coach must first understand the athlete's situation, know what the athlete's strengths and weaknesses are, what aspects they are good at, and where they are weak. You also need to know the playing style of the athletes, and you also need to know what injuries the athletes have in their bodies. It is necessary to understand the overall situation of the athletes, and then formulate a training plan according to local conditions.
A pure physical training program may be simpler, but it still requires an understanding of the athletes.
Gu Zhizhong asked Li Dai to do a physical training program, which was actually a test. He wanted to test Li Dai's ability, and Li Dai knew this well.
If Li Dai performs very well, then in the next work arrangement, Li Dai may enter a core job position and even participate in the training of several main players of the National Table Tennis Team. And if Li Dai's performance is average, he might be assigned to the second team to train unknown young players.
Moreover, Gu Zhizhong only gave Li Dai one month, which was 22 days excluding weekends. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to develop a physical training plan for all 78 athletes.
For physical coaches, there is definitely plenty of time to make a physical training plan for one person in one day. 22 days means 22 physical training plans. However, if Dai Li only submitted 22 physical training plans, it would definitely be difficult to impress Gu Zhizhong, because even an ordinary physical coach could easily complete 22 physical training plans. And what Gu Zhizhong wants is obviously not an average coach.
Li Dai didn't know what Gu Zhizhong expected of him. Maybe it was 30 training plans, or maybe it was 40 training plans. In short, it must be difficult for ordinary coaches to achieve.
In addition to quantity, there must also be quality. If the physical training plan is not good enough and is all the same and completely untargeted, it will also reduce Dai Li's performance. Insufficient quality is even worse than low quantity. .
For high-level athletes, training that is not suitable for them will not only fail to improve their level, but will actually reduce their strength. As a coach, if you cannot improve sports, you will lose the value of your existence.
Therefore, the quality of the training plan is more important than the quantity of the training plan. What Li Dai has to do is to make as many training plans as possible while ensuring quality.
…
Dai Li left the training ground of the second team first, and Gu Zhizhong and the head coach of the second team, Liu Feihong, started talking.
"Feihong, what do you think of this young man?" Gu Zhizhong asked.
Liu Feihong shook his head: "I can't tell, but you asked him to make a training plan, and he agreed so happily. I think this young man sounds confident. It's true that he has become the champion coach of the Asian Games at such a young age, and he should be confident. Yes. When I was his age, I had just become a trainee coach!"
Liu Feihong was also a professional athlete when he was young. He was once the third main player in the national table tennis men's team, second only to Gu Zhizhong and Wang Bin. He is younger than Gu Zhizhong and Wang Bin, but he chose to retire early due to injuries. The National Table Tennis Team also took care of Liu Feihong's injury and allowed him to stay directly as a coach. Liu Feihong started as an intern coach. After years of hard work, he finally became the head coach of the second team of the National Table Tennis Team.
Gu Zhizhong sighed: "In terms of being a coach, Li Dai's starting point is indeed higher than ours. And he is still very young. Even if he is temporarily unable to adapt to this job, it is worth our time to train him. After one month, if the training plan he submits is not satisfactory to me, then I will hand him over to you and let him practice in the second team."
"Okay, our second team doesn't mind having too many people. Throw all the things that the first team doesn't need to me!" Liu Feihong said with a smile, and then he continued: "One month is not long or short. The 78 physical training plans are definitely endless, what is the passing mark you set for him?"
"30 physical training plans." Gu Zhizhong said immediately: "Complete 30 training plans with quality and quantity, and I will let him stay in the first team. If he cannot complete 30 plans, this person will be yours!"
"This requirement is not too high. The physical coach of the first team should be able to do it!" Liu Feihong said with a smile.
"So if he can't even make 30 physical training plans, he is not qualified to stay in the first team." A smile of expectation appeared on Gu Zhizhong's face: "If he can make 40 training plans, I Just hand over the main forces like Wang Anshan and Yuanshuang to him!"
"40 copies?" Liu Feihong immediately shook his head: "One month is impossible. After all, he is new here and doesn't know much about the athletes. He has to spend time observing the athletes' conditions. If he can really keep If you can complete 40 physical training plans with quality and quantity, then you will be a truly talented coach."
…
On the sidelines of the training ground, Dai Li held a small notebook and kept taking notes.
For Li Dai, he only needs to activate the detection of the athletes, and their strengths and weaknesses will be displayed, so Li Dai only needs to write them down with a pen, and he does not need to spend time observing the athletes at all.
Dai Li recorded all the detection results of the 32 people in the first team in his notebook, and then went to the training ground of the second team.
The number of athletes in the second team is larger, and it takes more time to record.
Dai Li spent a whole day writing down all the detection results of the 78 athletes of the National Table Tennis Team in a small book. Then he began to write a targeted physical training plan according to each person's situation.
…
A week later.
During the regular meeting of the national table tennis team, all the coaches gathered in the conference room.
"Is there anything else you can do?" Gu Zhizhong's eyes scanned the crowd, and when he found that no one was speaking, he said, "Okay, that's it for today's meeting, let's break up!"
Everyone stood up one after another and prepared to leave the conference room in twos and threes.
Dai Li hurriedly ran to Gu Zhizhong and handed a file box to Gu Zhizhong.
"Coach, I have already prepared the physical training plan."
