After being promoted to the advanced stage of becoming a second-rate coach, Li Dai once again received an upgrade gift package, but in the gift package, there was only a piece of golden paper.
"A piece of paper?" Dai Li looked carefully. There were several big words written on the top of the paper: "A Guide to Improving Morale"
"Morale-boosting book? What the hell is this?" Dai Li looked a little confused.
"The word morale is familiar to you, right? For athletes, high morale can allow them to perform better, or even perform at a super level; and if athletes' morale is low, they will not be interested in competing during the game, and may not even be able to compete normally. I can't even perform at half my level." The system explained.
"Is all this stuff used to boost the morale of athletes?" Li Dai found it a bit incredible and continued to look down.
“The first step to boosting morale: Praise your athletes before they take the field.”
“The second step to boosting morale: applaud the athletes when they take the field.”
"The third step to boosting morale: shout 'come on' when athletes compete."
Dai Li's expression twitched. There were only a few words written on the entire paper, and they still sounded very unreliable.
"What kind of nonsense is this? Praising athletes? Applauding? And shouting "come on?" Is this a way to improve the morale of athletes?" Li Dai cursed in his heart.
"Don't doubt it. During the game, if the whole audience cheers for you, will you feel that your morale is boosted? Generally, the results in home games are better? So this method is definitely very effective. Combining the three If you get up and use it, even if the athlete has just been dumped by his girlfriend, his morale will be high." The system then explained: "I will explain three points to you about this skill. First, the action time of this skill It’s from when the athletes walk onto the court to when they walk off the court, not from the beginning of the game to the end of the game.”
Dai Li thought about it carefully: "I roughly understand the meaning. For example, in the 100-meter dash, the action time can be regarded as the beginning to the end of a competition; if it is shot put, javelin, weightlifting, diving, etc., this kind of time in the competition For sports that require multiple playing times, it can be used every time the athletes play; and if it is sports such as basketball, football, and volleyball, there are timeouts or intermissions, and substitutions can be made during the game. The action time is that the athletes continue to play. time, am I right to understand this?"
"It's very smart. Just like in basketball, sometimes a player may only be substituted for one round. After one attack or one round of defense, he will be substituted. This is also considered as one time on the court. Or he may just serve. When a timeout is called, this is considered a time on the field. The morale-boosting book can only affect the time he plays this time, even if it is only 1 second." The system explained in detail.
"I understand this one, but what about the second point?" Li Dai then asked.
"Second, within the same action time, the skill effects cannot be superimposed. For example, if an athlete shouts 'Come on' during a competition, shouting once and shouting 100 times will have the same effect. Third, this skill can be used on groups. Join You are the coach of a basketball or football team. When your players are about to take the field, you can use this skill to improve the morale of all players." The system explained the last two items in one breath.
"Okay, I understand. If I were a football coach, I would shout to the players, 'You are the best,' before going on the field. When they came on the field, they would applaud everyone, and after the game started, they would shout to the entire audience. If you shout 'Come on', everyone's morale will be high, right?" Li Dai asked.
"Yes, that's what it means."
"What if the player is a foreigner? Should I shout "Come on" in a foreign language?" Dai Li then asked.
"It's not difficult to shout cheers in a foreign language! One word, GO! Two words, E ON! In fact, the language is not important, as long as the athletes can understand what you mean." The system said.
…
On the second day, Dai Li completed the procedures for completing his secondment and returned to the weightlifting team.
"Xiao Li, you are finally back!" Jiang Aiguo looked very excited.
Not only Jiang Aiguo, but other athletes also expressed great welcome to Dai Li's return. Before that, they were all used to Dai Li giving them relaxing massages. After Dai Li left, no one gave these athletes relaxing massages. Only then did they realize the importance of Dai Li.
In the past four months, Jiang Aiguo participated in a national grand prix competition and a weightlifting championship. Without the assistance of the explosive halo, although Jiang Aiguo did not get the top three, he still achieved a ranking. Next, Jiang Aiguo will participate in the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Grand Prix.
"Xiao Li, I'm really looking forward to having you back. There are still three weeks left before the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Grand Prix. If you don't come back, I won't dare to participate in the competition." Jiang Aiguo smiled. said.
After the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Grand Prix, all domestic weightlifting competitions for the year are over. The qualifications for the year-end finals are determined based on the points of each station. In other words, those who can participate in the year-end finals, They are all masters among weightlifters.
For Jiang Aiguo, this game is also particularly important. He only needs one more year to retire, so this year-end finals will be the last competition in Jiang Aiguo's career.
Dai Li also wanted to use this to test the effectiveness of the morale-boosting book.
It is a pity that Jiang Aiguo did not give Li Dai this opportunity. During these three weeks of training, Jiang Aiguo's morale was high and even a little excited. After Dai Li inquired, he found out that volunteers from "Operation Smile" came to Qingcheng a few days ago and gave Jiang Aiguo's daughter the third surgery. The second operation was very successful, so Jiang Aiguo was in a good mood.
Operation Smile is a non-profit charity organization that provides free medical treatment to children from poor families suffering from cleft lip, palate and other craniofacial deformities. Many of its volunteers are domestic and even international experts and scholars. Although Jiang Aiguo's family was not poor, Jiang Aiguo took advantage of the opportunity of Operation Smile to come to Qingcheng and asked one of the British experts in treating cleft lip and palate to perform surgery on his daughter.
Jiang Aiguo's life is now full of hope, and this effect lasts until the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Grand Prix three weeks later. Using the morale-boosting manual on an athlete with high morale, Dai Li didn't see any effect, which made him really depressed.
Jiang Aiguo is in good condition. He won third place in the year-end finals. For a 32-year-old veteran, this is an incredible result.
After the year-end finals, the weightlifting team is basically on a semi-vacation. As the Spring Festival approaches, many athletes or coaches from other places have the opportunity to take an early vacation, and Li Dai is also preparing to go home for the New Year.
