At 8:30 p.m., the outdoor track and field field of the Training Bureau.

Although the daylight hours are long in summer, it is already completely dark after 8 o'clock.

In the track and field field, the lights have already been lit up, making the training ground at night as bright as day. The heat of the day has dissipated a little at this time, but the temperature in the air is not low, and as long as you take a few steps, you will make people sweat.

When Ye Qin arrived at the track and field, he saw a tall and thin figure in a sprint suit standing in front of Randy Hunter and Chen Zhongzhou from a distance, the tall and thin figure seemed to be talking, and then Chen Zhongzhou translated and relayed, and finally Randy Hunter understood and nodded before answering.

"Another one for guidance!"

Ye Qin was no longer surprised that other athletes came to Randy Heng for guidance, but there was no psychological imbalance, after all, he was not a child, and he knew that this was actually a normal situation.

Not to mention the sprint events, the most is still on the long jump team, and there are both male and female long jumpers, who take advantage of the gap time to get to Randy Hunter for advice.

Randy Hunter's long jump performance is naturally more brilliant than his resume in the sprint event, and Yechin can even occasionally hear some athletes on the long jump team complain privately that it is a waste to pull the coach of a long jump world record holder to be a sprint coach.

In competitive sports, there are few talented athletes, but top coaches with successful coaching experience are hard to find.

"Huh?"

After walking a few steps, Ye Qin took advantage of the lights of the track and field field to vaguely feel that the tall and thin figure standing in front of Randy Hunter and Chen Zhongzhou seemed to be somewhat familiar.

When he got closer, Ye Qin's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Yang, when did you come back?"

The tall and thin figure heard Ye Qin's voice and slowly turned his head, with the same smile on his face. It was none other than Yang Yao, who had previously trained at Baylor University.

"It's been a few days since I came back." Yang Yao saw Ye Qin, gently slapped Ye Qin's shoulder with his fist, and said with a smile, "I was in Shenghai before, and I just arrived in Yanjing today. No, as soon as I arrive in Yanjing, I will come to you to train with you. ”

"You just came to Yanjing to steal the teacher, do you want to fight so hard, Brother Yang."

Ye Qin looked at Yang Yao under the lights of the training ground, although he had a smile on his face, he seemed to be a little tired, and couldn't help but joke.

Now that the time has reached the end of July, the athletes of the national team who are going to participate in the World Championships have returned to the team one after another, and they will fly to Helsinki early next month. Yang Yao competed at the Olympics with Ye Qin last year and also met the World Championships standard in the men's 200m. has already been selected for the World Championships.

"No way." Yang Yao shook his head, touched his nose and said helplessly, "I really came here to steal the teacher this time, I think I am still a little uncomfortable training abroad, although Baylor University has Clyde Hart coach guidance, but among several people, my progress is the slowest." From the time you left until you returned home, I didn't see any progress in the past few months. ”

"No, it won't!" When Ye Qin heard Yang Yao say this, he suddenly felt a little strange when he looked at the other party's eyes, but if he thought about it carefully, the last time he tested at Baylor University, Yang Yao ran a 200-meter trip with him, which is indeed not a big improvement compared to China. Yang Yao's personal best has almost reached the level of about 20.58 seconds, but the test time is still far from this level, the previous race in Atlanta, the 100m was 10.4 seconds, and the 200m was 20.7 seconds.

"Maybe it's still not very comfortable." Yang Yao sighed lightly, this time he went abroad to "study", and the team had great hopes for him, but after returning to China, he gradually found that he had not improved much.

There are a lot of factors in this, the language, the habits, the way of training are all problems, not that Clyde Hart and Michael Johnson coached badly, but it always seemed that something was missing, and he never met his own expectations.

Seeing that the World Championships were imminent, he couldn't help but panic a little. After returning to Shenghai from the United States, he rushed to Yanjing almost without rest, just to get some guidance from Randy Hunter.

Randy Hunter stood on the side, watching Ye Qin and Yang Yao have a brief exchange, although he didn't know much Chinese and couldn't understand what the two said, but combined with what Yang Yao told him, he probably guessed something.

He said: "Yang, accepting the knowledge and training of a new coach is not a one-time thing, and there is also the problem of whether the coach and the athlete are compatible.

From what you have just reported to me, I think it is not difficult for you to ask me to guide you to train together, but I hope that you can strengthen your personal English skills.

I have reached this age, and it is difficult to learn Chinese well. But it's best if you know English so that we don't have a barrier and we can communicate more smoothly. ”

After listening to the paraphrase translated by Chen Zhongzhou next to him, Yang Yao nodded, and pointed at Ye Qin again, "Like you and Ye Qin?" ”

He asked this sentence in English.

Although Randy Hunter didn't quite understand what he said quickly, he still mastered a few simple sentences of dialogue after living in the United States for a while.

"That's right, that's right." Randy Hunter nodded, "What coaches and athletes need most is communication and exchange, which is difficult to achieve further and deeper communication without solving the language problem. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Ye Qin again, "When I came to China to teach, one of the things I was most worried about was language. Think about it, if you're a footballer and you're playing in various leagues in Europe, if you don't have the ability to communicate with your teammates and coaches, how do you understand the strategic intent of the coach. ”

"Thank you Coach Randy, I will continue to improve my English skills." Yang Yao nodded immediately when he heard this, and he felt a little suddenly enlightened in his heart.

When he was in the United States, although he was coached by Clyde Hart and the occasional Michael Johnson, in a way, the coaching style was that Clyde Hart often just gave them a training plan, through data analysis and the like, and then passed it on to the Chinese coaching staff, and after the translation was done by a translator, the coach and the athletes met again to discuss.

Not to mention the slow efficiency in this, it naturally makes him have a sense of distance from a famous coach like Clyde Hart, and many times what he wants to express is contrary to what Clyde Hart wants him to do.

Moreover, again, Yang Yao also had a faint feeling in his heart that during the period of training and "studying" in the United States, except for the arrival of Ye Qin halfway through, which caused some waves, life was too comfortable.

For a while, it seemed that I was isolated from the outside world, and I didn't have a particularly strong training attitude, and when I realized it later, most of the time had passed, and the World Championships were about to come.

"Yang, I've seen your matches and videos, your talent is excellent, and I welcome you to join. You can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that you'll get a big boost. However, training requires a partner, and here's one. Randy Hunter said and pointed to Ye Chin, who was also going to find a few training partners for Ye Qin to train with to make track and field training less boring.

"That's great." Ye Qin immediately laughed happily when he heard that Yang Yao was going to train with him.

In the national team, he and Yang Yao are the most familiar, the two are competitors and teammates in the project, they can train together and improve each other, Ye Qin is still happy to see it.

And Ye Qin also knew that Randy Hunter only took him alone, which was a waste to some extent. The head coach is mainly responsible for one athlete, but it is the norm to bring multiple athletes of different ages at the same time.

"Okay, Yang, now that the World Championships are very close, I can't give you more advice for the time being, let's learn more about this time." Randy Hunter looked at the time, then added, "Boys, it's time to get moving. ”
