Dai Li spent several days mastering a complete set of warm-up square dances. When the main players of the national table tennis team returned from Sweden, Dai Li had already mastered the warm-up square dance quite skillfully.
The next key is how to get those world-class table tennis players to accept this warm-up square dance.
It was around five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, and there was still a chill in the air. Dai Li had already arrived at the training ground. At this time, some athletes have already started morning exercises.
When training tasks are relatively relaxed, national table tennis athletes usually arrive at the training venue after six o'clock in the morning and start morning exercises. The coaches will arrive half an hour later. At almost seven o'clock in the morning, all the athletes' coaches arrived. Physical coaches can come to the training hall after breakfast.
However, in a group, there are always people who work harder, so when Dai Li arrived at the training ground, there were already athletes who had started training for the day.
It's like when you go to school, there will definitely be one or two students in the class who arrive early to start morning reading. They may not be the best at studying, but they are definitely the ones who work harder. When you look at them , you will always find that they are very seriously involved in learning.
After all, among students, there are only a few people who are willing to work hard to study early in the morning and stay late at night. The vast majority of students are just content to go to and from get out of class on time.
However, among professional athletes, especially at the level of the National Table Tennis Team, hard work and diligence have become qualities that athletes must have. Getting up before dawn to train at five o'clock has even become a routine for many professional athletes and has become a part of daily life. If you stay in bed until seven or eight o'clock on a certain day, you will feel uncomfortable.
Especially some athletes are not only strong and talented, but also work hard enough. Such as Wang Anshan.
Wang Anshan is not complacent because he has been ranked No. 1 in the world for a long time. On the contrary, he works harder and more diligently than most other athletes. For example, today, when Dai Li arrived at the training hall at around five o'clock, Wang Anshan was more diligent than the other athletes. Dai Li was one step ahead.
"I came early enough today, but I didn't expect Wang Anshan to have already started training. Sure enough, the performance of athletes is inseparable from the sweat they put in. Wang Anshan deserves to be ranked number one in the world!" Li Dai couldn't help but look at the sky outside, and felt even more emotional in his heart.
A person with S+ talent is willing to work harder than others. It is not luck or accident that he can achieve his current results.
"Coach Li, you came so early today!" Wang Anshan also noticed Dai Li's appearance.
As a physical fitness coach, Li Dai does not have to arrive at the training facility earlier every day like the players' head coach. So Wang Anshan felt a little strange that Li Dai showed up so early today.
Dai Li hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you done any warm-up exercises today?"
"I just did some exercise, there is no formal warm-up yet." Wang Anshan replied.
"Then let's warm up first?" Dai Li continued to ask.
"Okay!" Wang Anshan agreed without hesitation. With the help of a professional physical coach, the effect will definitely be much stronger than warming up on his own. What's more, Li Dai's coaching level has already won Wang Anshan's trust.
"Then let's do some simple exercises first and do some basic warm-up movements." Li Dai glanced at Wang Anshan with a guilty conscience, and then said: "Are we together?"
Wang Anshan nodded. He didn't think much about it. After all, it was very common for coaches to lead athletes to do warm-up movements.
"Okay, do it with me!" Li Dai stood in front of Wang Anshan, and then started to warm up the square dance.
Although the movements were square dance movements, Dai Li was still shouting ordinary beats in his mouth.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."
…
Wang Anshan has been practicing football since he was a child. He has experienced sports schools, provincial teams, and national teams. After being a professional athlete for so many years, he is of course very familiar with the movements of warm-up exercises.
However, today Wang Anshan discovered that the set of "warm-up exercises" performed by Li Dai were completely different from what he had practiced before.
"What kind of warm-up exercise is this? I have never done this kind of warm-up exercise before. It feels so strange..." Wang Anshan followed Li Dai's movements, his mind full of questions.
Wang Anshan had no experience in learning square dancing. The heavy training and competitions on weekdays left him no time to pay attention to things other than table tennis, so he did not realize that what Li Dai led him to do was a set of square dancing.
Among the formal warm-up exercises, many are muscle stretching movements, such as stretching the thigh muscles, stretching the calf muscles, and stretching the back muscles. These are all areas that are easily injured during high-intensity training.
In addition to stretching the muscles, the rest is to warm up the joints, such as moving the shoulder joints, hip joints, knee joints, ankle joints, etc.
However, the square dance performed by Dai Li seemed to move his whole body, but the movements were completely different from formal warm-up exercises.
Fortunately, Wang Anshan is the kind of athlete who is relatively humble and reserved. To put it simply, he listens to the coach's words, so even though Wang Anshan's heart was full of doubts, he did not express it with his mouth, did not pause in his movements, and continued to warm up with Li Dai. Square dance.
If it were an athlete with a more individual personality like Cui Pengfei, he might have stopped long ago and asked Dai Li clearly.
…
At the same time, Dai Li felt that his movements were a little unsmooth.
After all, square dance is a coherent dance movement. If you follow "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight", the originally coherent movements will be broken into loose sub-movements, and problems will naturally arise in the overall coordination.
Therefore, those square dancing ladies will dance to more exciting music instead of shouting digital slogans like radio gymnastics.
"No, it doesn't feel right to shout slogans like this. It seems that square dancing requires music." At this time, Li Dai finally understood why those aunts who danced square dancing always need to put music to the music. A square dance that is played very loudly and has no music cannot really be called a square dance.
Dai Li stopped, took out his mobile phone, and said to Wang Anshan: "I just woke up and I'm still a little confused. I'll put on some dynamic music to cheer me up."
Dai Li's mobile phone has already prepared the music for square dancing.
Wang Anshan nodded indifferently. Based on his trust in Dai Li's expertise, he didn't think much about anything else.
…
Dai Li and Wang Anshan's square dance also shocked other athletes. After all, Wang Anshan is the "big brother" of the national table tennis team, and his every move naturally attracts the attention of others.
"What are Coach Li and Wang Anshan doing?"
"You must be doing warm-up exercises!"
"This action is a bit strange. I have never seen this kind of warm-up exercise. Have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it before either. It looks a bit like square dancing!"
"Square dancing? How is that possible! After all, Coach Li is a professional physical coach, and we are also professional athletes. How could he teach us to dance in the square?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Dai Li pressed play on his phone.
The music is playing!
"This seems to be the music for square dancing!" someone suddenly said.
Several athletes around looked at each other...
