Jamaica, in front of the Kingston High Performance Training Centre.

Norman Pilt, who was a sturdy man, looked back at the young man behind him who was about ten centimeters taller than him again, and asked solemnly, "VJ, are you sure you won't regret this decision?" ”

"I won't regret it, Mr. Pilt." The black boy is very tall, even among Jamaicans, he is more than 1.95 meters tall, and because of his height, he looks a little thin, and he is standing behind with a frown, and he is babbling, "Coach Coleman's training style has been successful with many athletes, so I tell him that no matter how many injuries he has, he will not change." If I continue like this, I'm going to be ruined, my career is over, I can't continue under him. ”

"If you do think it's necessary, I'll talk to the training center." Norman Piert looked at the teenager in front of him and nodded.

He is optimistic about the young man in front of him, since the first chance to give the other party as a tutor in 03, he has seen unparalleled potential in this teenager.

Working at the tax office in Montego Bay was poorly paid, and Norman Piert had to work part-time as a governess to make ends meet.

And that coincidental application made him meet this teenager. Especially after he watched the teenager nicknamed VJ play a few times, he had an excited idea.

"Norman, this boy in front of you is going to be a superstar, and he's more talented than anyone you've ever seen."

From his experience of training 800 meters and the vision of many years of life experience, he decided at that time that he must be close to this teenager in front of him.

It helped him the most when he was just starting out in his life, helping him to embark on the path of a professional athlete and to the world of athletics.

The rise of a track and field star is enough to change his life, which is neither promising nor boring day in and day out.

From communicating with VJ's parents, to setting a five-year long-term plan for him, and even under his leadership, this teenager embarked on the path of a professional athlete and entered the best athletics training center in Jamaica.

This step by step is Norman Pilt, because he firmly believes that the future of this black teenager is limitless.

After the defeat in this Olympic Games, the athlete he was optimistic about in front of him put forward the idea of changing the coach, and he would support him from any angle.

"However, VJ, you have to understand that Coach Coleman was not hired by you, but arranged by the training center, and I will go talk to the person in charge of the training center now, this kind of thing can be done once, but it can't be completely up to your temperament."

Norman Piert graduated from the University of Jamaica and is a highly educated member of the Jamaicans, not one of those low-level blacks who don't know how to plan at all, he has a long-term vision, and there are some things he must say ahead. Bringing a talented and headstrong athlete is a very happy and troublesome thing.

"I know, Mr. Peart." The black teenager apparently thought about it for a long time, "I don't fit the way Coach Coleman trains, I think the way Coach Glenn Mills is right for me." ”

Norman Piert nodded, "You go back first, I'll let you know when I have news." Remember to go to nightclubs less and drink less, got it? ”

"Of course, sir." The black boy grinned and ran away from the training center without looking back, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.

"That's a fast run!" Norman Piert lamented that this is why he is standing here. Touching his bright head, Pearct stepped into the Kingston High Performance Training Center.

……

Hedao, a track and field training hall in Minghu District.

Yesterday, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong were invited back to Hedao City, and after attending an event in the city in the morning, they trained at the nearby track and field training center in Minghu District in the afternoon.

It's September 21st, and we have to fly to Yokohama for the IAAF All-Star Game the day after tomorrow at the latest, so we need to hurry up and get back to the training ground.

In the track and field training hall, after jogging, exercising skeletal muscles, pulling ligaments, and a series of preparatory activities, Su Zu continued to maintain a very high level of concentration.

Before today's session, he just looked at the data in his system:

Name: Su Zu

Age: 17

Profession: Athlete

Physical fitness: 26

Agility Quality: 26

Strength qualities: 28

Reaction qualities: 20

Endurance qualities: 20

Flexible qualities: 16

Potential: 78.4%

【Negative state - mild fatigue of psoas muscles】

[Negative state - mild fatigue of back muscles]

【Negative state - mild fatigue of abdominal muscles】

……

After a series of competitions at the Athens Olympics and the recovery training that came back afterwards, my potential has increased a lot, especially my physical fitness and endurance quality.

The intensity of a large-scale competition is a great test for all aspects of the body, and similarly, under such a large intensity, the effect is also obvious.

As for the negative states such as mild fatigue that often appear in the system now, Su Zu will not pay much attention to it. Athletes train at an intensity and are rarely not fatigued. Besides, he has been resting for half a month, and it is normal for him to just enter recovery training at this time.

As long as it did not reach the level of moderate or high fatigue, which affected the overall attributes of the body, he basically didn't pay much attention to it.

He has now gradually figured out that in addition to psychological factors, the ups and downs of athletes' state are actually related to the fatigue of these negative state prompts, once the fatigue is above moderate, it is likely to be 0.5%, 1%, 2% This affects the total performance of the body's attributes. The impact is intuitively a decline in the athlete's condition.

Other athletes don't have such a negative state prompt, and many times they can't feel what aspect of their body is affecting their state. And Su Zu was able to use these negative state reminders in time to prevent injuries on the one hand, and stabilize his competitive state on the other hand.

In the track and field training hall, Su Zu stood in the open space next to the track, and in front of him were two common hurdles used in hurdles, one 84 cm and the other 106 cm. Su Zu stood in front of the hurdle, exchanging his legs left and right to imitate the hurdle movements, while Li Zhizhong stared at the correction movements beside him.

It's not that Su Zu wants to turn the event, for the sprint event, the athlete's thigh strength and hip flexibility are very important, Li Zhizhong borrowed hurdle techniques to imitate it, to strengthen Su Zu's hip flexibility. Ability to have a faster cadence and a larger stride.

This kind of training cycle is calculated in months, and the results can not be seen instantly, but consistent and repeated practice can greatly improve the flexibility of the hip joint, strengthen the groin muscles, and so on. It is very effective for the improvement of sprinting.

"Alright, let's take a break!"

In six or seven minutes, after exchanging his legs on the railing one or two hundred times, Li Zhizhong watched Su Zu's leg movements begin to deform a little, and stopped.

Su Zuchang exhaled a turbid breath, this kind of exercise method is more exquisite, except for some soreness in the thighs, there is no tiredness, but the movements must be in place, otherwise it will not have the effect of exercise.

"Su Zu, do you have something on your mind? I don't think you're in the right state! ”

After stopping, Li Zhizhong looked at Su Zu's frowning appearance and asked. In the previous training, he felt that Su Zu seemed to feel a heavy burden on his body, as if there was a dog behind his buttocks.

At first, I thought that it was the young man's yearning for fame and the future that prompted him to endure such training and hard work.

But after the Olympic Games, the results of one gold, one silver and one bronze are dazzling enough, and now I can go outside and listen to the news, and the names of Su Zu and Liu Yangyu are almost all fired. Moreover, a child from the countryside, sixteen or seventeen years old, wants to be famous and profitable, and those bonuses add up to something that many people dare not think of in their lifetime.

Although it is not so appropriate to say this, Li Zhizhong feels that as a young man and an athlete, Su Zu does not seem to even have a minimum of inflated mentality.

Li Zhizhong asked himself that he was already a very restrained and self-disciplined person, but being trained every day by Su Zu, an apprentice, forced him to ask for leave to rest, and the grape trellis at home had fallen not once or twice.

"Coach, I just want to run a little faster." Su Zu slapped the muscles of his lower thighs on the spot and jumped to do relaxation exercises.

"You're fast enough." Li Zhizhong frowned and said, "You are twelve or thirteen years younger than Morris Green, and three or four years younger than Gatlin, they can't run your grades at your age." Don't worry, in a few years, when you are about twenty years old, you should be able to surpass them. ”

Su Zu was silent for a moment and didn't speak again. He also felt that the coming one seemed to have become a knot in his heart, a shadow, and he was thinking about breaking him all the time.

It's naturally good to have goals, but it seems that he himself is pushing himself a little hard.

"Yourself, just do your best. I've told you before that sprinting is a long-term process that can't be achieved overnight. I don't know what level you want to run, but you must not be crushed and knocked down by anything else. Keep your heart and take it slowly, one step at a time. ”

Li Zhi loyally enlightened that athletes must work hard and focus, but they must not be crushed by unnecessary pressure.

Su Zu took a deep breath, thinking about it, it is indeed the case, four years is not long, and it is not short. He was able to get to where he is today in three years, and he could not improve to the next level in the remaining four years. And constantly putting pressure on yourself, not to mention physically, mentally will have problems.

He is honored and proud to have won the results of the Athens Olympics, but he is not necessarily so happy in his heart, just because of this achievement, just because his mentality has not been correct.

He embarked on the road of competitive sports, never to beat anyone, but to be able to surpass himself and run a different life.

"This is it!"

"That's what the teacher said."

"yes, that's right, come with me."

In the training ground, Li Zhizhong was giving Su Zu a psychological lesson, counseling the apprentice's psychological state, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.

The two turned to look out the door, and a large group of people, forty or fifty girls of 15 or 6 years old, dressed in flowery costumes, seemed to suddenly rush in like a flock of sparrows.

"Hey, what are you doing, how did you get here?"

In the track and field indoor hall, a staff member of the Hedao Sports Bureau who was responsible for contacting and arranging food and accommodation had been beside him, and hurriedly greeted him after seeing many little girls rushing in and asked.

These girls may be a little timid alone, but a large group of people is simply needless to say, all of them are more courageous than anyone else, and their voices are louder.

"We are Hedao No. 3 Middle School, who are you?"

"This athletics gym school has arranged for us to rehearse here."

"The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Hedao Games! We're going to put on a show. ”

In the twittering answers, several people understood it. This large group of girls are all students of Hedao No. 1 Middle School, and they rehearsed for the opening ceremony of the Hedao City Games in a few days. I don't know why I didn't communicate well, Su Zu bumped into someone here.

"Alas, look at the man!"

"It's so familiar!"

"Wow, it's Su Zu!"

"Su Zu!"

At this time, a large group of girls who ran into the stadium suddenly found Su Zu who was in the training hall, and suddenly the crowd was boiling.

Yingying Yanyan suddenly gathered in front of her, pulling all kinds of autographs, inquiring about Su Zu's emotional status, asking Su Zu about various track and field questions, clothes and shoes brands. In terms of age, they are a group of people who are about the same.

Dizzy and dazzling, in just a few tens of seconds, Su Zu was like a rolling in a zoo, surrounded by a group of people inside and out.

"Master, please help me stop it, I can't resist it." Su Zu looked a little panicked and shouted loudly at Li Zhizhong.

Then he turned to a group of girls and said, "Thank you for your support, alas, don't pull your clothes...... I'm going to do my best...... Please let me ......"

Sweat was dripping on his forehead, and a young, energetic and excited smiling face appeared in front of him, such a fragrant scene, he looked at it at the moment, but it was a hundred times more terrifying than the zombie siege.

He didn't dare to really hurt others, so he could only barely support himself, squirming his body left and right and desperately squeezing out of the crowd, and his "snap" shoes were stepped on.

But Su Zu didn't care about it at all, and finally squeezed out a little gap, turned around suddenly, and ran away.

"Su Zu, your shoes are off!" A girl shouted with a grin.

Su Zu dared to turn back at this moment, and disappeared outside the door of the track and field training hall like a smoke.

And what about Li Zhizhong?

He was squeezed out of the crowd early, and when he looked at Su Zu's embarrassment from afar, he didn't stop him, but laughed happily with his hands behind his back next to him.

Only at this moment did he feel that Su Zu had a bit of a young appearance.
