The sun shines on the big bed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a white-haired elderly woman is trying hard to lift her arms.
"Very good, Mrs. Iris, you can move your arms now, which is a good start. But you have been lying in bed for too long, and your body's muscle atrophy is very serious, so you need more exercise. . If you feel tired, increase the number of activities and reduce the amount of activity in a single session. Mr. Aires is also a professional coach, and he is also professional in this regard." Li Dai said.
"Thank you, Coach Li." Iris looked grateful. He turned to his wife and said, "My dear, you take a rest first, and I will take Coach Li out."
Iris personally sent Li Dai out of the gate and to the small garden in front of the villa.
"Coach Li, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I really wouldn't believe that your massage would have such a good healing effect." Iris said in amazement.
"Everyone has something they are good at. I'm just good at rehabilitation training." Li Dai replied.
"I am also a coach. I know that this level of recovery is almost impossible. Maybe only God can do it." Iris said, his voice changed, and then said: "Coach Li, although your main task now is The business is strength and conditioning, but are you interested in becoming a boxing coach?"
"Be a boxing coach?" Li Dai shook his head: "I really only know a little about boxing. If I hadn't had more contact with Taylor recently, my understanding of boxing might not be as good as those experienced boxing spectators."
"But you have talent." Iris's expression became solemn: "I have been observing you since that day when you saw Hopkins' shortcomings in the video, and I found that you are very suitable to be a boxing coach. When I first met you, your knowledge in boxing was indeed lacking. But during this period, when I was coaching Taylor, weren't you also learning? And you learned very fast, like A sponge keeps absorbing water. To be honest, I even think now that your understanding of boxing is better than Taylor."
"You are joking, Taylor is a boxing champion with more than ten years of experience." Dai Li said.
"This has nothing to do with time and experience." Iris shook his head and said solemnly: "The accumulation of experience determines the lower limit of a coach's ability, but talent determines the upper limit of a coach's ability, so sometimes, Talent is the most important thing. And you have this talent."
Dai Li was stunned. This was not the first time he heard someone give him similar comments, but it was on other projects before.
"Actually, even if I want to be a boxing coach, I don't have that much time. After all, I still have to run my training center." Li Dai said.
"You can just be a consultant like I was before I retired. When a boxer comes to you, you just need to provide them with some improvement plans, or provide a training direction. As for the specific training, Athletes should do it themselves. This is what I will do after I am fifty-five years old. It is very easy and the income is good." Iris smiled and continued:
"As a friend, I think your performance in running the venue can only be considered average, but your level in training is extraordinary, so I have always wanted to give you a suggestion. You should hire a dedicated manager. Leave the management of the training center to professionals, and you should still focus on the specific training business. You can think of this as a kind of optimization of talents and positions, allowing the most professional people to do what they are best at, thus achieve the most efficient results.”
Dai Li nodded. Iris was not the first person to bring up this matter. Steven had also mentioned it before, asking Dai Li to find a dedicated manager, and also provided Dai Li with a candidate. However, Dai Li was not satisfied with that candidate. The person was very young and had just received an MBA degree. He had little work experience and did not have high salary requirements. This was obviously a safe place to gain experience and develop while waiting for equipment. After gaining more experience, he will definitely change jobs. Dai Li doesn't want his training center to become someone else's guinea pig.
"Thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it." Dai Li replied.
…
Dai Li was sitting in the car on the way back, with Iris' words constantly popping up in his mind.
"Talent? Talent as a coach? Why didn't you realize that I have such a good coaching talent before?" Dai Li murmured to himself.
"Do you think you relied on your own ability?" The system's voice appeared in Dai Li's mind again.
"What do you mean?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"You have been at the level of a well-known coach for a long time, and you are about to step into the threshold of a famous coach. I thought you had already felt it." The system continued: "The improvement of the coaching level, Not only can it bring you more training effect bonuses, but it can also improve your own coaching quality. For example, in any sports event, you will have stronger learning ability and stronger analytical ability. You will have stronger judgment ability.”
"You mean, I was able to see Hopkins' shortcomings before, and Iris thought I was talented as a boxing coach, all because of your existence? Is it you who made me talented?" Dai Li asked a little unhappy.
"Nonsense, if you really have the world's top coaching talent, then do you still need to worry about a job after graduation? I'm afraid you have already stood out in college!" the system replied mercilessly.
Dai Li fell into silence. He was indeed not an outstanding student in college, and his performance in school could only be described as average. At least for that era, he didn't show any unusual talent.
Just listen to the system continue to say: "The improvement of your coaching quality is related to your coaching level. The higher the coaching level, the greater the improvement. So when you are a third-rate coach, you will not feel this coaching quality at all. The improvement is because your level is too low, and when you slowly upgrade to a first-class coach, you should be able to feel the changes brought about by the improvement of various qualities!"
Dai Li suddenly remembered that when he was in Dingtian Group, Harman's coaching team once extended an olive branch to him. Harman even famously expressed the hope that Dai Li could try to become a football coach. Obviously Harman recognized it. Li Dai’s ability and talent in football training.
"No wonder Haman took a fancy to me back then. I thought it was because I had grown in ability." Dai Li finally felt enlightened, but he felt increasingly unhappy.
After all, this is not Li Dai's own real progress. The improvement brought by plug-ins and the progress achieved through his own efforts feel completely different. In particular, Dai Li once thought that his progress was achieved through hard work. Now after learning the truth, it turns out that fighting against the fifth scum is still fighting against the fifth scum, which created an inexplicable gap in Dai Li's heart.
The system obviously didn't understand Dai Li's mood. He still kept talking: "With your current level of a well-known coach, even if you know nothing about a certain sport, as long as you are willing to study hard, you will quickly learn." Become an expert, and even high-level professional athletes will be convinced by your coaching. If you upgrade to become a famous coach, the process will be faster and the effect will be more obvious. If you are willing, you may really become A versatile coach who knows every sport!”

At the press conference before the game, Dai Li also met Hopkins in person.
"Talent is S+. Hopkins, like Taylor, is an S+ athlete. No wonder everyone calls Hopkins the man who will dominate the heavyweight boxing world in the future. He truly deserves it. In terms of ability value, Hopkins Si is 965, Taylor is 971, these two people are completely on the same level."
Li Dai sighed silently. He originally wanted to go to the betting hall to play a small amount, but the current detection results made Li Dai give up this plan.
The two S+ level athletes have almost the same ability value. In the end, Li Dai himself is not sure who will win.
Both sides have been preparing for this game for a long time. Their mental and physical conditions must have been adjusted to a relatively good level. At this time, both people must be in excellent condition and have high morale. When both players are in good condition, the impact of so-called on-the-spot factors has been reduced to a minimum and can barely affect the outcome of the game.
In the months of preparation before the match, the two boxers must have studied each other thoroughly. A boxing match of this level is inherently about knowing yourself and the enemy. Both sides understand each other to a similar extent, and no one can take advantage of the other. .
This is the exciting thing about a boxing championship of this level. Two top boxing champions spend several months preparing for a match. When they compete, they must show their best sides, but However, the two of them are still evenly matched...
"The difference in strength between the two people is really too small. When Taylor faces Hopkins, it is impossible for Taylor to do a three-way attack and KO his opponent in the first round like he did in the previous games. This is a real battle of wits. A battle of courage, and what ultimately determines the outcome is the tactics chosen by both sides!" Thinking of this, Dai Li suddenly felt a little nervous. He couldn't help but glance at Iris next to him, the person who formulated the tactics for Taylor.
"White Devil" Iris, the legendary coach in the boxing world, was exuding a strong sense of confidence that could be smelled from several meters away.
"Looking at Iris like this, I feel that the game has been won! The legendary coach's strength is here again, and it really blinded my alloy dog eyes!"
