Chapter 209: Treatment Plans and IMG Academy
On a flight from Jamaica to Munich, Germany.
Glen Mills looked at the somewhat nervous black teenager beside him, and gently patted the back of the other party's hand with his broad palm, "VJ, don't be nervous, you have to trust me." Train and live strictly the way I give you, and you will have a completely different future. β
"Coach, is it really possible?" The black boy was a little hesitant, and a rare blank look for the future appeared on his previously cheerful face.
"Your previous overtraining has put too much burden on your body, causing serious damage, and spinal curvature is a relatively easy problem to solve, but ...... Torn hamstrings and other minor injuries can be a problem, and now it's time to help you get back on track. β
Glen Mills comforted the black boy next to him in a deep and deep voice, he had already noticed this teenager who was far taller than ordinary people when the other party had just entered the Kingston training center before, but the other party was not the team he led at that time.
Until...... On that occasion, he passed by the athletics training ground, and the black teenager rushed up to him and said that he wanted to train with him. He laughed at the time, how confident this teenager was, although he had already won the 200m championship in the Caribbean Community at that time, but in the world's top coach like Glenn Mills, there is no shortage of first-line athletes such as Kim Collins, although he is interested in him, where will he break the rules of the training center and recruit him.
And now the cooperation has really begun, the loss of the Athens Olympics, although I don't know if it was his agent or the character of the character and the training center feedback to change the coach, but after all, he still became a student of his Glenn Mills.
Glenn Mills knows that this is an ego, sensitive, playful, assertive teenager, he has all the problems that ordinary teenagers have, and he has been in nightclubs by Coach Coleman's reaction before, and he is not serious about market training, and Glenn Mills has also heard of it.
But there is only one thing, and that is extraordinary talent, which countless mediocre people do not have. Glenn Mills had seen him run on the field, and his superhuman height gave him a larger stride than the average sprinter, and such a big man had a cadence comparable to that of a small sprinter, and a strong second-half endurance.
Others may not be optimistic, but Glenn Mills is different, he is not a professional coach himself, he has wanted to be a sprinter since he was a teenager, but the limitations of his talent made him realize early that he could not achieve anything. It was at that time that he began to assist other coaches in training. Along the way, researching, stealing teachers, and self-taught, before you know it, he has become a well-known sprint coach.
When he saw the young man beside him, he knew that he had found a treasure and a piece of jade, and as long as he carved it carefully, the future was limitless.
"This is another Michael Johnson-like figure!" Glenn Mills had a gentle smile on his face, but he sighed inwardly.
The plane landed at Munich Airport.
Glenn Mills led the black teenager directly to the Wolfhart treatment room.
Sitting in the reception room of the Wolfath Clinic, Hans MΓΌller Wolfath, looking at the teenager Glenn Mills had brought in, and he and Glenn Mills had been friends for many years.
Walfault looked at him for a moment, then at Glen Mills, as if he had something to say.
Glenn Mills smiled and patted the back of the Jamaican boy who had followed him from Kingston to Munich all the way, "VJ, you go out for a walk first, and we'll start the training assessment later." β
It wasn't until the teenager went out that Walfat asked Glenn Mills a question, "Glenn, did you choose this teenager and are you sure he has any value?" β
As the team doctor for the German national football team and an internationally renowned sports medicine expert, Wolfaert treats some of today's biggest names in sport, and he doesn't know a Jamaican youngster who is still unknown in the sporting world.
"I'm not entirely sure he's worth it." Glenn Mills smiled and looked determined, "But I believe he has the potential that only the best athletes in the world have." This is a sprinter who can run 20 seconds in the 200m at the age of 17, and he deserves a tailor-made treatment plan and plan for him. β
Out of confidence in Glenn Mills, Walfault considered it and did not refuse.
Soon, a series of training tests once again subverted his initial idea, there are geniuses in this world, he has seen a lot, and this time, he just met a rising sprinting genius in a new field.
"I heard that China also has such a sprinting genius?" Wolfart shook his head and smiled, remembering the figure in the red sprint suit he saw when he watched the men's 100-meter final of the Olympic Games in Athens some time ago, he should not be very old.
There are always many talented children in the world's billions of people, and the question is whether they can be excavated, scientifically trained, and have the opportunity to play.
The diagnosis was just the beginning, as Wohlfath himself was a modern pentathlon athlete and then became a surgeon, working as a team doctor for Hertha Berlin from '75 and the German national team doctor for '95, and 30 years of experience in the profession gave him a thorough understanding of athletes' injuries.
After a large number of reports on scoliosis and the advice of many experts, Walfast developed a detailed treatment plan, which was in line with Glenn Mills' training plan.
"VJ, your back muscles and abs are too fragile to affect your hip strength, but when you use scoliosis in your run, your hips will pull on the tendons of the back of your legs, causing the latter to strain or even tear, and you now need to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles. Equipment training will be your top priority going forward, and if you want to stay in good shape, you must maintain an hour of strength training every day from now on. β
The black boy was overjoyed to see that he had a plan to treat his injury, he liked the game, he liked to be in the limelight, but in the face of a dense training plan, he was also as big as a fight.
I really hate to practice!

What is IMG Academy? Not many people knew about it at least in 2004.
If in a few years, with the gradual excitement of youth study tours and young age study abroad, I think some people will understand.
Of course, this academy is really known to the world because of the many top players who come to the academy. For example, the first sister of domestic tennis who has just made a comeback in 04 is also a contracted athlete under IMG in later generations.
Located in Bradenton, Central Florida, this sports academy is part of the world's largest sports agency, American International Management Group, and its business is broad, and the company's main business is engaged in the most professional entertainment and sports marketing and management.
THE IMG ACADEMY WAS FOUNDED IN 1978 AS THE TENNIS SCHOOL OF THE SAME NAME BY LEGENDARY TENNIS COACH NICK BOLLETTIERI, AND HAS SINCE EXPANDED TO OTHER PROGRAMS.
In addition to the many programs set up for the training of professional athletes, the school also has a complete training system for the training of young people. After graduating from high school, 95% of the students go on to the top universities in the United States, enter the varsity teams of the corresponding Ball Category 1 universities, and most of them receive college scholarships. The other 5% went straight to becoming professional athletes.
This college is a real American sports institution of higher learning, and in the words of a later newspaper, this is the "Lanxiang Technical School" of American sports.
Although IMG Academy entered China quite early, it has contributed to the establishment and operation of large-scale professional competitions such as the A-A Football League, the FA Cup, and the CBA Basketball League.
It was only ten years later that the Chinese track and field team really began to contact IMG Academy, and at that time, there was enough financial guarantee to support the training expenses of athletes.
On October 13, a Boeing 747 plane took off from the imperial capital and landed at Bradenton International Airport in Florida.
