Chapter 396: IMG Visitor
In the morning, it's a new day.
In the indoor training hall of the General Training Bureau, Ye Qin started training according to a fixed time.
On January 30th, it was just over half a month before the Spring Festival, and there were no athletes in the indoor training hall of the General Training Bureau, and most of the national team players who had gathered for training had returned to their respective provincial teams after the Asian Games.
However, because Ye Qin did not train in the school team of Mizuki University, he had been training silently in the indoor training hall of the General Administration for a long time.
For the upcoming indoor 60-meter race, he is still a little unconfident at this moment, and he is very clear about his technical characteristics, which is the advantage in the second half of the race. In the first half of the race, the start and acceleration have improved to a certain extent, but there are still some difficulties in trying to stand out in the 60-meter indoor race.
Now that he is ready to go to Germany to participate in three indoor competitions, it is necessary to carry out the necessary preparations, athletes face the competition, whether it is a big competition or a small competition, what is the goal, but as long as he stands on the field, Ye Qin still hopes that the one who wins is himself.
In the 60-meter event, the current best player in China is Wen Yongyi, whose current best time is 6.59 seconds, the national 60-meter record holder.
Previously, when Ye Qin practiced the 4×100-meter relay with Wen Yongyi, he had trained with the other party, and in terms of starting and acceleration, Ye Qin was much worse than the other party.
At least in the first thirty or forty meters, he couldn't completely beat Wen Yongyi, and only after fifty meters, his speed completely added up, it was possible. This is still the case when Wen Yongyi's state is sometimes unstable, when Wen Yongyi is in a good state, Ye Qin basically has to be about 70 meters away to be able to beat Wen Yongyi.
In the men's 100-meter race, Ye Qin is not afraid of players like Wen Yongyi, the opponent starts to accelerate quickly, and has already raised his head to enter the high-speed stage of running on the way around 20 meters, but when it comes to 60 or 70 meters, the speed decays greatly.
The rhythm of running is not a curve that rises in speed and then gradually declines in the conventional sense. On the contrary, it is hyperbola, which shows the highest point of velocity at thirty or forty meters, then weakens, and at seventy or eighty meters there is another high point of speed, and then weakens.
This is because Wen Yongyi's ability to maintain speed is not strong enough, although he can quickly add up the speed, but he can't stabilize it, and he changed his breath in the middle and second half of the way, and then rushed towards the high point of speed.
This situation led to Wen Yongyi being able to run a national record of 6.59 seconds in the 60 meters, but in the 100 meters, he was weaker than Yang Yao's 10.21 seconds and Gu Kai's 10.27 seconds in the 100 meters.
What Ye Qin needs to learn now is Wen Yongyi's starting and acceleration, he is stronger than Wen Yongyi in terms of absolute speed and speed retention ability on the way, but if he wants to achieve and improve in the 60-meter event, he still needs the first half.
Ye Qin's goal now is very clear, since he has started to run the men's 100 meters, if he wants to achieve something in the 100 meters, then he must first improve his technical characteristics, and the first goal is the 60 meters in front.
As long as he can run an ideal result in the first 60 meters, in the last 40 meters, he can rely on his speed to maintain his ability to further improve his 100 meters.
This is not without precedent in athletics, with Sean Claude being the 200m champion at Athens 2004.
Sean Crowder is a dedicated 200m runner with great running ability, but his opponent has outstanding results in both the 60m and 100m, with a personal best of 6.47 seconds in the 60m and a personal best of 9.88 in the 100m.
It has a strong starting explosive ability, and has the ability to run in the middle and second half of the way that he is good at.
Ye Chin's ability to run in the middle and second half of the way is not weaker than Sean Crawford at this time, but in terms of starting and acceleration ability, there is still a big gap compared to the opponent, and he wants to go further in the men's 100 meters, and the natural thing that needs to be strengthened is the starting and acceleration.
This improvement is also extremely significant for Ye Qin's performance improvement at present.
His rapid progress in the men's 200m and 100m this year is due to training with Yuan Guohua, which has improved the start and acceleration.
The sound of puffy footsteps sounded again and again on the track, and Ye Qin's distance was not long in each run, about forty or fifty meters, and the targeted training was starting and accelerating.
In the past few years, he has been guided by various coaches, as well as a lot of video observation and a lot of training, his own style is gradually forming, Ye Qin can feel that his ability to start and accelerate is improving, although this kind of improvement is basically invisible to the naked eye, but as an athlete, he can constantly summarize his strengths and weaknesses, and then make up for his weaknesses and sculpt his skills.
Such a boring training trip, but Ye Qin is not tired of it, he has come all the way, the biggest advantage over other athletes, in addition to his own talent, is that he can always see his own progress. And where there is progress, there is motivation.
Men's 100 meters, men's 200 meters, men's 400 meters, he has to face too many strong opponents in the three events, he was not dizzy by some domestic propaganda, compared to those athletes who stand at the top, although he is getting closer step by step, but he is actually very clear in his heart, no matter which event, he is still far from the world record.
After running several times on the indoor track, Ye Qin returned to the starting line, took out a small tape measure, and adjusted the position of the runner.
This is a small trick taught to him by Coach Yuan Guohua, if you want to improve your start, one of the most important points is to find the distance where your feet are most comfortable and able to exert force on the runner.
This distance can not be measured by eye, but needs to be accurate to centimeters or even millimeters, running again and again, finding the right point for his height and long legs, and muscle strength, which plays a very important role in improving his start.
"Ye Chin! Yechin! Come on! ”
Just as Ye Qin was holding a small tape measure, measuring the distance of his running aid in front of the starting line, and was about to adjust it, a shout suddenly came from the edge of the indoor training hall.
Ye Qin looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw Yu Weili and Chen Zhongzhou standing on the sidelines waving at him, and there was a bald middle-aged white man standing next to them, and after seeing Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu, his face was full of kind smiles.
"Director Yu, Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Ye Qin looked at Yu Weili and Chen Zhongzhou, then at the white man next to him, and asked with some confusion.
"Someone is looking for you." Yu Weili pointed to the middle-aged white man beside him, and then introduced with a smile in English, "This is Mr. Essenbad, who flew here from the United States and wants to talk to you." ”
"Hello, Yechin, I'm Max Essenbad, and it's a pleasure to meet you." The middle-aged white man introduced himself to Ye Qin with a smile when he heard Yu Weili introduce himself.
"Hello, Mr. Esenbad." Ye Qin also greeted the bald-headed middle-aged white man in English instead.
However, there was a little more doubt in his eyes, he didn't know the white man in front of him, but he could hear from Yu Weili's tone that he was quite polite to the white man.
And at this time, basically ordinary reporters who want to interview him will be turned away, but the middle-aged white man in front of him can directly let Yu Weili take him to the indoor training hall of the training bureau to see him, which is not small.
"Congratulations on becoming the first Asian athlete to break the 10-second barrier, it's amazing what you've achieved in athletics." Max Essenbad shook hands with Yechin, looking a little excited.
"Uh...... Thank you, Mr. Essenbad. Ye Qin was a little confused, but looking at the other party's enthusiastic appearance, he thanked him again.
"Alright, Mr. Essenbad, then we'll go first, and we'll get in touch later if we need to." Yu Weili, who was on the side, watched Ye Qin and Max Essenbad get to know each other, and then prepared to leave.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yu." Max Essenbaard nodded towards Yu Weili, "I will facilitate our future cooperation, IMG Academy welcomes Chinese athletes, and we will provide the best coaches and training equipment." ”
Yu Weili nodded, then glanced at Ye Qin deeply before turning his head and leaving. Before leaving, he beckoned to Chen Zhongzhou on the side, "Xiao Chen, you come with me too, and leave time to Mr. Esenbard and Ye Qin." ”
"Okay, Yu Guide." Chen Zhongzhou nodded and said quickly to Ye Qin, "Vice President of IMG." ”
"Huh?" Ye Qin glanced sideways at Chen Zhongzhou slightly, his brows furrowed.
"The agent of tennis player Sharapova." Chen Zhongzhou saw that Ye Qin didn't understand, and then said again. After saying this, he did not delay any longer and left with Yu Weili.
"Agent?!" Ye Qin was slightly stunned, and only then did he understand.
