"Wang Anshan, Cui Pengfei, Zuo Xiangxian, Yan Shuang." Li Dai wrote the names of the four main players of the national table tennis team on a piece of white paper.
As the physical fitness coach of the national table tennis team, Li Dai will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the team if he cannot handle these four main players.
From another perspective, if the coach cannot gain the trust of the athletes, then training cannot continue.
"Yanshuang is the youngest one. He is only 19 years old. It should be the easiest to make him obedient and train him. But because he is too young and has not yet established prestige in the national team, it is also the least nutritious to deal with him. .”
"Cui Pengfei?" Li Dai heard the name and immediately shook his head.
Although Cui Pengfei is a Grand Slam player, he is also a well-known thorn in the national team. He was expelled from the national team twice for disobeying management and returned to the provincial team. This kind of individual athlete is not something Li Dai can easily control.
"It seems that we can only choose between Wang Anshan and Zuo Xiangxian. Wang Anshan is more modest and introverted in character, and he is also the captain of the men's table tennis team. Zuo Xiangxian has an optimistic personality and is easier to talk to. People. If we use the two of them as a breakthrough point, each has its own advantages."
Dai Li thought for a while, and finally circled Wang Anshan's name.
As the "big brother" of the current National Table Tennis Team, Wang Anshan needs to be strong, powerful, and prestigious in the National Table Tennis Team. If he can gain Wang Anshan's trust, it will not be difficult to gain the recognition of other athletes.
…
"Give me three days, and I'll make you feel the change!" Dai Li said with a serious expression.
Wang Anshan, who was opposite him, felt a sense of disdain in his heart.
He is the world's number one table tennis player, and Li Dai is just a new physical fitness coach. Wang Anshan does not think that Li Dai can bring any "change" to him, and he even thinks that Li Dai is just talking big words.
However, Wang Anshan is the kind of person with a relatively humble personality. He is diligent and self-restrained, and usually listens to the coach's words. Therefore, he did not immediately resist Li Dai's training plan, but chose to give it a try first.
…
Domestic sports training is basically still at the stage of "treating headaches and treating pains."
For example, when Dai Li was on the national track and field team, the coach would improve the athletes' shortcomings. If they did not do well, they would improve them through training. This is also the mainstream training method in China.
This training method is effective for non-top athletes. It is of little use to top athletes.
Almost all of the world's top athletes have no technical flaws, or their technical flaws do not affect their performance. Otherwise, they would not be able to reach the top of the world in a certain sport.
When Li Dai was at the AP Training Center, he learned a new training theory, which is to treat athletes as a whole and improve the overall balance to achieve the effect of improving the athletes' level.
This is like adding attribute points to a character in a game, with warriors adding strength, mages adding intelligence, thieves adding agility, and human shields adding blood. However, when these attributes are added to the limit, all attributes +1 becomes a better option. s Choice.
This overall training theory is of course not applicable to the national track and field team. There is still a huge gap between the level of domestic track and field athletes and the world's top. But when he came to the national table tennis team, Li Dai found that this advanced training theory should be put to use.
Although the AP Training Center has no experience in training the world's top table tennis players, it has trained several top tennis players, including many at the four Grand Slam levels. Dai Li also read some information in this area when he was studying in the United States, so he decided to use this experience in the training of the top players of the national table tennis team.
The coaches of the national table tennis team are basically all table tennis players. They are all very good in terms of technology, but in terms of physical training, they are still at the level of ten years ago.
For so many years, the national table tennis has been dominating the world. Table tennis from other countries cannot pose a threat to the national table tennis, and the gap has even become more and more obvious. Under this circumstance, the coaches of the national table tennis team rarely pay attention to the training situation of foreign athletes. Anyway, the coaches of the national table tennis team feel that the level of foreign table tennis training is definitely not as good as their own.
…
Three days is a very short period of time, nothing to a professional athlete.
However, for Li Dai, Wang Anshan could indeed feel "changed" in three days. Li Dai has the bonus of a first-class coach, and his training effect is comparable to that of high-level coaches in the national table tennis team.
More importantly, Dai Li chose the right direction for training.
Because Wang Anshan has practiced table tennis since he was a child, the forearm of the ball-handler will be longer and the ball-holding arm will have more muscles. Although this does not affect him from winning championships one after another or becoming the world's number one in the end, it will inevitably cause defects in the overall coordination of the body.
After all, human beings are a whole, and it took tens of millions of years to evolve into what they are now. If people with two arms of different lengths and thicknesses are superior, then all human beings will definitely evolve in that direction.
The bones of adult athletes have been shaped, which Li Dai cannot change. It is impossible for Li Dai to make Wang Anshan's two forearms the same length. But in terms of muscles, Dai Li has ways to improve them.
After three days of training, ordinary people would definitely not be able to feel the improvement effect brought by training. However, as the world's top professional athlete, Wang Anshan's body sensitivity is many times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Take the racket as an example. The rackets of the national table tennis players are all specially customized by the manufacturers. Let’s not talk about the rubber and rubber. Just talking about the racket board, the length, width and thickness must be very precise, down to one millimeter. There can be no gap.
For example, we ordinary people who play golf may not pay attention to the shoulder arc of the racket, but top table tennis players have requirements for the shoulder arc and can feel the shoulder arc. Variety.
For athletes of Wang Anshan's level, he can feel a difference of 0.5 degrees in shoulder arc, which makes it uncomfortable to use. The 0.5-degree difference in shoulder curvature cannot be found during product quality inspection. Engineers need to use precision measuring instruments to measure it.
This is the sensitivity of top athletes. Whether it is the body or the equipment, if it is just a little bit, you can immediately detect it.
After three days of training, Wang Anshan really felt the "change" that Li Dai said. This is the optimization of the overall coordination of the body. Although it is an extremely subtle optimization, it makes Wang Anshan feel that he has become better when playing. It's comfortable.
Wang Anshan, the world's top athlete, has no room for improvement, or can't make any progress. Being able to feel a little more comfortable while playing is a huge improvement.
In order to make such top athletes more comfortable when playing, teams behind the scenes are working hard day and night.
The engineers of the racket manufacturer spent a lot of time developing new rackets specifically for Wang Anshan, constantly letting him try them out, just to make him more comfortable when holding the racket; the manufacturer of sneakers specially created a sneaker for Wang Anshan, every detail They strive for excellence, just to make him feel more comfortable after wearing them. In order to achieve this little bit of "more comfort", the scientific research team of sports equipment may spend several months.
Now, Li Dai only had three days to make Wang Anshan feel the changes.
"This Li Dai is about the same age as me, but to be recruited into the first team by coach Gu, he still has a lot of skills." The disdain in Wang Anshan's heart has dissipated, replaced by a serious look at Li Dai. In his heart, he gradually developed trust in Li Dai.
