After getting off the plane from Bradenton City International Airport, hop on the shuttle bus to IMG Academy.

During this trip to the United States, Su Zu himself did not have any special expectations for IMG Academy, although it is a world-renowned sports academy, but what he mainly needs now is a quiet environment to train.

On the contrary, it was Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu, who were quite excited all the way. Lao Li had a short study experience when he was young, and he traveled to many places in North America, and this time it can be regarded as a revisit.

Not to mention, Zhang Pingqiu is not to mention that this is the first time he has come to the United States, except for the occasional arrangement of athletes to go around Asian countries with him. He didn't expect that after joining Su Zu's team, the first big benefit would fall on his head.

Although it is the first contact and cooperation, the capitalist society is not a good hall, the training and living expenses of the IMG Academy are expensive, and the current field management center has not reached the point where the economy has completely taken off in the future, and can afford to support dozens of people to come over for winter training every year.

In addition to Su Zu's achievements, it is more about the commercial benefits he brings to the field management center, which can support his overseas training expenses.

"Xiao Zhang, let me tell you, as a coach, you must know this person - David Libert." On the shuttle, Li Zhizhong looked at the flat and open outside the window, but there was a large area of lush green scenery in the north at this time, which was different from the large green scenery in the north at this time, and turned his head and chatted with Zhang Pingqiu.

"David Libert?"

Zhang Pingqiu had never heard of this name, and Su Zu on the side was completely unfamiliar.

"David Leadbetter is recognized as the father of golf coaching, IMG's Golf Academy, also known as David Leadbetter Academy. The reason why this person is mentioned is because this coach has extraordinary talent. Directly, his coaching philosophy is to help athletes grow.

Sports training requires the cooperation of coaches and athletes, which is very particular about sparks, many coaches package their direct coaching experience as something high, but helping athletes grow themselves is actually much more important than various training plans. ”

Li Zhizhong said with emotion, he has also found a factor in coaching over the years, the principle of domestic competitive sports still follows the "three from one big" principle in the early years, strict, difficult, starting from actual combat, and large-scale exercise, not that there is any problem, but in the lack of guidance and understanding of the athletes themselves, many times regardless of the hard training, resulting in a large number of irreversible injuries of talented athletes.

Zhang Pingqiu nodded, understanding that Li Zhizhong was mentioning him. As a "champion coach" who can cultivate Su Zu, Li Zhizhong is undoubtedly authoritative in the training of athletes.

Su Zu listened and smiled beside him, understanding that Lao Li had been practicing his training philosophy in a down-to-earth manner.

In the past few years, Su Zu has actually benefited a lot, even if he is far more mature than a young man, but in the road of sports competition, it is indeed Li Zhizhong who has been teaching him earnestly and helping him grow.

Otherwise, with another coach, even if he has a system, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to get to where he is today.

In fact, excellent coaches have this quality, such as Liu Yangyu's coach, such as the "final boss" who just led the team to win the men's team championship at the World Table Tennis Championships this year. The most intuitive feeling for outsiders is that they are also teachers and friends, similar to father and son.

It's something other than the level of training, but it's often the first thing that establishes an athlete's mindset and attitude. Many successful athletes will have one or two people throughout their athletic career who have had a significant impact on him. While polishing his skills, he also established a spiritual concept that can support him all the way to the championship.

……

Getting out of the car and standing at the door of IMG Academy, Su Zu was in a very good mood.

IMG Academy's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its humid subtropical climate are known as "the place where flowers bloom". There is plenty of sunshine all year round, and the temperature in winter is stable at around 20°C. Although it is winter training, it feels as warm and comfortable as spring training.

IMG Academy is a large place, and as he has expanded his career in various sports over the years, the academy has been expanding in size.

The reason for this training at IMG Academy is that it is home to world-leading training facilities, renowned coaches and advanced training concepts. But if the venue and environment can reach an excellent level, it is naturally a pleasant thing for people to be physically and mentally.

In charge of the reception was Loren Seagrave, a typical white old man with a beard on his lips and a rather serious appearance. But at this time, he was also smiling, and he was greeting Li Zhizhong with each other.

Due to the early hours and jet lag, Loren Seagrave took a few people on a tour of IMG Academy.

Loren Seagrave may not have heard of it, but he is still extremely famous in the world of sports. The world's top speed training expert, the American national track and field master coach, and the head track and field coach of IMG Academy. At the same time, he is also a super master of physical training.

"Hi Loren, is this a newcomer to training?"

A few people walked along the IMG Academy to visit the various training grounds and equipment, and when they passed by a tennis training court, suddenly a well-built white girl, Chao Loren Seagrave, beckoned and ran over. The girl had blonde hair and was about the same height as Su Zu, and greeted Loren Seagrave with a smile.

"Martha, this is Sue, you've probably heard his name. The third place in the men's 100m and the men's 4×100m champion at the Athens Olympics, a very good athlete. This is Lee and Zhang, their Su's coach. Loren Seagrave smiled at the white girl passing by, and it was clear that the relationship was good.

As he spoke, Loren Seagrave introduced Su Zu and the others again, his tone was full of pride, and said, "I am Martha's physical coach, I believe you must know her if you pay attention to tennis." ”

IMG Academy, formerly known as a tennis school, has cultivated tennis stars one after another, and now this girl from Russia is one of IMG's key business cards. The women's singles champion, who has just won Wimbledon, is much more well-known than ordinary Olympic champions in Europe and the United States.

"Hi, Sue." According to Loren Seagrave, this girl with her own racial talent attribute greeted Su Zu generously. "I've seen your race, you're running so fast!"

"Uh...... Hello, you also play great tennis. Su Zu paused slightly before smiling and shaking hands with the other party. Unlike ordinary girls, Sharapova's palms are very powerful in the training of tennis grips all year round.

Su Zu really didn't expect to meet a tennis star when he first arrived at IMG Academy.

Although he doesn't know much about tennis, and many tennis stars Su Zu don't know him, but thanks to the blessing of the first sister of tennis news in later generations, well, there are many deeds of Internet raiders, and he also recognized each other when Loren Seagrave introduced him.

In the end, it is still the world of faces, and if Williams, who has the same amazing record, stands in front of Su Zu, even if he tells him his name, he probably won't know who it is.

After greeting a few people, Sharapova whispered a few words to Loren Seagrave before leaving.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Su Zu's expression was calm. is just an athlete, with his results rising, it is not uncommon for celebrities from all walks of life to be seen, and the leaders of a country have shaken hands and taken photos, what is the big deal.

As for beauty, this varies from person to person, depending on their own aesthetics.
