"Have you heard? The new coach Li was directly assigned to the first team."
"Really? Did you go directly to the first team? Don't new coaches usually go to the second team first?" Someone next to him questioned.
"Of course it's true. I saw with my own eyes that Coach Gu assigned him to the first team. It seems that Coach Gu values him very much!" The person who spoke was the coach of the first team.
"Lao Gu has hired several local coaches over the years, but he has never directly joined the first team." Another person said.
"Yes, who is this Dai Li? He can join the first team directly? Doesn't he have some background? Is he the son of a leader?" Someone asked in confusion.
"Stop guessing. This Dai Li is a real talent!" Someone with knowledge finally came forward.
"Xiao Du, you are very familiar with Wang Bin. You must know the inside information, right? Tell me what's going on?" someone asked.
"You all got a new physical training plan today, right? It was made by the new Li Dai." Xiao Du said.
"It turns out that he was the one who made that physical training plan. Not to mention, it was really good and top-notch." The man just now sighed.
"It's nothing extraordinary." But someone said the opposite: "I can also implement such a training plan, and I haven't seen Coach Gu transfer me to the first team."
"Then you can make 78 physical training plans for the entire team's athletes in one week?" Xiao Du snorted coldly and then asked.
"What are you talking about? Doing the whole team's physical training program in one week? How is this possible!" said the naysayer.
"Just the new Li Dai! He came here for a week and made a physical training plan for the entire 78-member team, and this training plan is in our hands." Xiao Du said: "If you don't believe it , you can go and inquire and see if all the coaches in charge of athletes have received the new physical training plan!"
…
There is no strong force in the world. The fact that Li Dai directly entered the first team also spread among the national table tennis team as 78 physical training plans were sent to various coaches.
However, for Li Dai, entering the first team of the national team is also a huge challenge.
Among the first team, there are several athletes with world championship titles, and there are even four major players at the Grand Slam level. They are the kind of athletes who are successful and famous, whether they are famous or capable. However, Dai Li is new here. How to make these world champions listen to him and train according to his own arrangements is the first problem that Dai Li must solve.
From the perspective of an athlete, I am the world champion and the main force of the national table tennis team, and you are just a new coach. You are not an athlete, and you are still young. You have not had any dazzling results as a coach. Why should I listen to you? !
When Li Dai just went to teach in the Sports Department of Tsinghua University, he encountered similar problems. At that time, Li Dai pointed out the shortcomings of the athletes and instantly calmed down Niu Guohong, Xin Xiaotian and others, and Li Dai's training was carried out smoothly. .
But this method does not apply to the national table tennis team.
After all, table tennis is a highly technical sport, and as a physical fitness coach, Li Dai is obviously not convincing when he talks to athletes about table tennis techniques. The national table tennis team has gathered the top table tennis coaches in the country, many of whom have also led world champions. Their level of table tennis skills is many times higher than that of Dai Li.
Moreover, the athletes of the National Table Tennis Team have all started training table tennis since childhood, and many of them have been playing for more than 20 years. Their professional level of table tennis is also higher than that of Li Dai. If Li Dai tells others how to improve their skills, It's tantamount to doing whatever you want.
What's more, there is a flawless athlete like Wang Anshan, who has no shortcomings at all. As for the main national table tennis players like Cui Pengfei and Zuo Xiangxian, they can't find any technical faults. The only problem is injuries.
Therefore, it is already impossible for Dai Li to use the same method he used at Tsinghua University. If he wanted to gain the players' trust, he had to find another way.
…
Wang Bin looked at Li Dai in the distance with worry in his eyes, while Gu Zhizhong next to him had a calm expression on his face.
"Lao Gu, I'm worried about whether Dai Li can tame those guys. Of the four main players in our team, Yuan Shuang is young and will definitely be more obedient; although Wang Anshan is number one in the world, his character is The kind of humble and introverted type; Zuo Xiangxian is more sunny and is good at getting along with others; but Cui Pengfei is born with a prickly mind and has never been very obedient to discipline, and ordinary coaches can't control him!"
Gu Zhizhong smiled slightly: "This is the second test question for Dai Li when he joins the company! Before, he was asked to write a training plan, which was considered a theoretical test, but now it is considered a practical test!"
"Aren't you going to help him?" Wang Bin asked.
Gu Zhizhong shook his head: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. Athletes need to experience setbacks to grow, and young coaches also need to experience setbacks to grow."
"But I think Dai Li is already good enough and there is no need to give him any more authority." Wang Bin continued.
"He is indeed good enough, but I think he still has potential that can be tapped." Gu Zhizhong continued: "We must not only seize the present, but also focus on the future. Young coaches like Li Dai are our national table tennis players." future. When we were playing, our table tennis was number one in the world; later when we became coaches, our table tennis was still number one in the world; I hope that in the future, when we retire from the coaching position, we will be the best in the world. Still number one in the world.”
When Gu Zhizhong said this, there was hope in his eyes: "These disciples of ours are better than when we were young. Their bodies are stronger, their skills are more outstanding, and their playing styles are more reasonable. If one day, they retire, If you become a coach, you will definitely be better than us. Our national table tennis should be like this, each generation becomes stronger than the next! Only in this way can we always stand at the top of the world."
…
As Gu Zhizhong said, the previous work on formulating a physical training plan could only be regarded as a theoretical test.
However, sports rely on practice after all. No matter how strong the theory is, if the practical operation is not effective, it is just talk on paper.
As a coach, daily training is the most important basic work. If the training level is not enough, no matter how strong the theoretical knowledge is, he will only be a scientific researcher and will not become a "famous teacher".
This is actually similar to teachers. There will be a department responsible for teaching and research in the school, and there are many experienced and well-known teachers among the teachers. However, for parents of students, a “famous teacher” in their eyes is a class teacher with a relatively high admission rate. These head teachers may not be as good as those teaching and research staff in terms of teaching theory, but they have actually achieved results.
Dai Li's goal is not to be an armchair coach, so he must meet the next challenge.
It is indeed very difficult for a group of world champions to train according to their own arrangements. Dai Li even knew that if he wanted to gain recognition from these world champions, the key was two words: change!
Dai Li needs to make athletes feel in a short period of time that accepting their own training can bring about changes. This is the best way to gain the trust of these world champions.
However, for the main national table tennis players who are relatively mature in all aspects, it is indeed not easy for them to feel the changes brought about by training in a short period of time.
Dai Li needs to find a suitable breakthrough point to achieve his goal.
In the end, Dai Li chose "arm muscle training" as his breakthrough point.
Professional table tennis players have a common feature, that is, the forearm of the ball-holding arm is longer than the forearm of the non-ball-holding arm. At the same time, the muscles of the ball-holding arm are also significantly stronger than those of the non-ball-holding arm. On the surface, one arm appears to be longer and thicker than the other.
This is mainly because athletes have been practicing table tennis since childhood, so the development and growth of bones and muscles have been affected. This is an inevitable result of practicing table tennis since childhood.
Those who have not practiced table tennis since childhood will not have this situation. Of course, in China, it is impossible to become a professional table tennis player without practicing table tennis since childhood.
After all, people are a whole, and every table tennis movement is also a movement of the body as a whole. The two arms are different in length and thickness, which will definitely affect the integrity of the body, so if this can be improved, athletes will be able to Quickly feel the overall "change" in your body.
