Chapter 182: Becoming a Coach for the First Time
On Tuesday night, the model training class started as scheduled.
As the coach of this training class, Whelan came to the practice room of the model team in advance, and saw that Secretary General Qiu was also there, so he walked over to greet Secretary General Qiu. Secretary-General Qiu gave Whelan a list of 62 participants, divided into two classes, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday, with 31 people in each class. The list contains basic information such as name, age, height, weight, employer, contact number, etc.
This practice room is not small, it is seventeen or eighteen meters wide and twenty meters long, and it is basically a square shape. The entire floor is made of solid wood floors. The front wall is covered with shiny glass mirrors, and the other three walls are lined with a circle of bars to facilitate basic training. There is a door to the right of the mirror, and inside is the dressing room. There was a long narrow passage with a large row of lockers.
Whelan first went to the locker room to change into a dark gray tight-fitting sportswear and practice shoes, locked her clothes and belongings in the locker, and then took the list and came to Secretary General Qiu's side. Secretary-General Qiu said in surprise: "I have been patronizing your catwalk in the past few days at the fashion show, and I haven't appreciated your figure well. Now that I look at you, you're really a model, and your figure is really good! No wonder you're the lead model! ”
"Sister Qiu, don't praise me, if you praise me again, I will fall behind!" Whelan said coquettishly.
"Pride makes people lag behind, doesn't it?" Sister Qiu understands what Huilan means, no one can be proud, only you are proud, because the nature of your work requires pride. If you don't have pride, you don't have that demeanor. After saying that, he laughed.
It's almost time. Secretary-General Qiu looked at the trainees present and said; "If you haven't changed your clothes, go to the locker room to change your clothes, put your things in the locker, and take the key to your closet. When you go, just leave the keys on the locker. ”
The newly arrived trainees all went to the locker room to change their clothes. After a while, everyone came over in their sportswear.
Secretary-General Qiu looked at his watch at half past six, and then said loudly: "It's time, let's start class." She glanced at everyone, "Our training class is specially organized by the Clothing Association according to everyone's requirements, and we have a class once a week, a total of twelve classes." These 12 classes are very short, so you must train hard and strive to look like a model by the end of the course. That's it! We didn't teach in vain, you didn't learn in vain, and the tuition fees weren't spent in vain. The students laughed.
"I'm telling you the truth, the cost of our model training class is still relatively expensive. It doesn't matter who gives you the money, it's all hard earned. Therefore, if you throw money here, you must have a harvest, you must have a good progress, and you can't throw it away. Secretary-General Qiu said earnestly. In order for everyone to learn well, we specially hired Ms. Whelan to be your coach based on everyone's opinions. Everyone may know something about her, she is self-taught, she has never participated in any training classes, but the head coach of the Shanghai Bund model team trained her for two days, she practiced hard, plus some basic skills, she just came out of the ordinary and became a new star in today's modeling industry. When you learn from her, you are standing on the shoulders of giants, and after you learn it, many people will definitely reach or approach her level. There was another burst of laughter among the trainees.
"In order to encourage people to actively learn, we are going to set up a team of amateur models after the training course, and the team members will be selected from among us. At the same time, we will also set up a team of back models to serve as alternates for our amateur model team. I hope you will cherish this opportunity. Even if you don't have been selected as a student of the back modeling team, your professional modeling training will have an immeasurable impact on your life. Everyone applauded.
"I'm going to give the time to Coach Whelan and she'll take you through the training. Everyone applauds and welcomes! The applause rang out again. After Secretary General Qiu finished speaking, he walked to Whelan and whispered, "You take everyone to train!" Contact me if you have something. After saying that, he left the practice room.
Whelan walked up to everyone and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you and to be able to spend twelve sessions together. These twelve classes are very short, just to teach you some basic methods, the key is to practice at home every day, at least an hour a day, if you can't stick to this training time, it will be more difficult to make great progress. So the key is daily training, and you must stick to it. After a pause, "I'll take the roll call below, and the students who have been called will come to the front to take a new line." In the future, every time I go to class, I will go to class in this formation. ”
Whelan took the roll call one by one, and the students stood in four rows again, eight people in each row, and seven people in the last row. After the roll call, there were thirty-one people. She took a look, and among the thirty-one people, some were tall and some were short. The tall ones are 1.8 meters, and the short ones are 1.65 meters. There are also various body types, some wide, some narrow, some fat, and some thin. Whelan now understands that this is a popular training class.
"The four rows of cadets stand in line with their arms apart, front and back, left and right." Whelan gave the order, and the ranks unfolded in order.
Whelan continued: "Today we are mainly training in basic skills, that is, training in the basic skills of the body. This training is very important, if you want to walk a good model, if you can't do it well, you will definitely not be able to walk well. Therefore, we have to take everyone to train some simple movements, and after we go back, we will practice according to these movements to improve our physical quality. ”
"Attention, everyone! Follow my instructions and demonstrations. Whelan explained, "The first movement is waist and abdomen training, and at the same time to stretch both of your legs. Stand up straight with your legs clamped, bend down with your hands on your toes, and lay your hands horizontally on the ground if you can reach them, and use your elbows to reach the ground if you can still reach them. And do four eight-beats. This can reduce fat on the abdomen and buttocks. Whelan started counting four eights, and everybody was doing it.
"Do the second movement below, the side waist stretch. This exercise builds strength on the side of the waist and stretches the side of the body. Whelan explained, "Raise your arms straight above your head, stand up straight with your right leg and your left leg extended, and bend your upper body to the left with your arms in four eight beats. Then do the right side, the same way as the left. Whelan began to count four eights again.
In this way, Whelan explained ten simple actions, and everyone followed along. These ten movements move all parts of the body and stretch the muscles and bones of each part at the same time. She told everyone that as long as they insist on doing these ten movements every day, the parts needed for the catwalk will basically be exercised. That is, you should do at least these ten actions every day.
At the end of the training, Whelan talked about the next training subject: skill-based basic skills training, and hoped that everyone would arrive at the class on time.
After class, six or seven students surrounded Whelan and asked Whelan for advice curiously. Whelan looked at these students, all of them looked pretty good, and their figures were also relatively good. So he said: "You guys are in good physical condition, you must train hard when you go back, and strive to enter the amateur model team in the end." If you can enter the amateur team, it means that you have reached a certain level of kung fu and have room for improvement. ”
A few girls are happy in their hearts.
