Chapter 52: Physical Testing
Coach Zheng has been able to hold the position of head coach of the Beijing team for so many years, and he still has some ability. Since seeing the huge potential of Pansiqi, any requirement for Pansiqi has become the most critical thing for him at this stage. After finishing the conversation with Pan Xiqi, he hurriedly found Director Xiao after the meeting.
"Director Xiao, Xiao Pan asked us to give him the best physical training. You know a lot of physical experts, I'm afraid this matter will require you to do it yourself. Coach Zheng reported to Director Xiao the request made by Pan Xiqi.
"Little Pan? Yo, I said Lao Zheng, didn't you agree to Pan Xiqi joining the team before? Why are you shouting so kindly now? Director Xiao was surprised by the change in Coach Zheng's attitude.
"Hey, you don't have to blame for that! If you had told me that Pan Xiqi's level had reached this level, not to mention that I didn't agree, even if the king of heaven didn't agree, I would have to get him into the Beijing team! Coach Zheng complained, and then he roughly told Pan Xiqi about killing the Beijing men's team.
"What? How could such a thing happen? None of the male players in the entire Beijing team could take a point from Pan Xiqi? It's incredible! When I was in Shanghai at the time, although I knew that Pansic was strong, it was not to such an exaggerated level. Director Xiao was also taken aback when he heard this.
Not only that, but Pansiqi said that the reason why he wants to strengthen his physical training is because his body is not yet at the level of a professional athlete and cannot play with a lot of strength. Imagine how terrifying he will be once his physical strength comes up! Coach Zheng imagined.
"Yes, if that time really comes, I'm afraid our Beijing team will soar in China! After all, although we are not a first-class team now, we are also at the middle and upper level, and several main players in the team are against the top players in China, although they lose more and win less, but they still have a certain degree of resistance. It's like facing Pansiqi, and he can't even take a point. In this way, isn't Pansic going to be several levels above the domestic men's level? Director Xiao instantly figured out the key.
"Who's to say it isn't! I said Director Xiao, you are really the big lucky star of our Beijing team, you actually picked up such a big baby as Pan Xiqi. As long as he is in the future, our Beijing team may be able to firmly control the domestic men's singles project! Coach Zheng complimented.
"Hehe, this is also our luck to let me run into it. In this case, Pansiqi's demands must be met. In this way, I immediately contacted the physical experts who have been working with our team for a long time, and asked them to gather in the team tomorrow to develop a special training plan for Pancic's situation. This great opportunity is delivered to us, but we must not miss it. In the future training, you should also pay more attention to him, and you can let go of other aspects. Director Xiao made a statement.
"Don't worry, I'll do what you instruct."
It is said that Director Xiao is really resolute and resolute, and he is quite courageous, which can be seen from the fact that he recruited Pan Xiqi into the team. The next day, under his soft grinding, five physical training experts gathered on the training ground of the Beijing tennis team early in the morning. These experts are from sports colleges and universities, and some from major hospitals, which can be regarded as top talents in this field. It can be said that in addition to not being as good as the national team's expert allocation, Director Xiao has invited the best experts to Pan Xiqi.
"I said that Lao Xiao of the Beijing team spent so much effort to invite a few of us over, saying that he wanted to set up a physical security team for a new member of their team, which is really not small!" Professor Zhang from Beijing Sports University said to another expert.
"Isn't it, I finally rested today and wanted to travel with my family, but I didn't expect him to let me come over today. I really don't know what kind of players can make their Beijing team so interested. The expert replied.
"Hey, I don't need to ask, they must have found a newcomer with great potential. This is the case with most sports teams, as long as the athletes are likely to achieve good results, it is necessary to ensure the training of the athletes at all costs. After all, the promotion, benefits, and other aspects of the sports team are all based on the results achieved. A doctor-like man came to his own conclusions.
Although their guess was good, when Director Xiao and Coach Zheng came to them with Pan Xiqi, these experts were still a little surprised.
"I said Lao Xiao, is this the new team member you said on the phone who needs us to have a consultation? But I look at his age, it seems to be a little too old, huh? Professor Zhang asked Director Xiao with some doubts. Looking at the expressions of several other experts, it seems that they are quite puzzled.
It's no wonder that these experts usually cooperate with sports teams and design professional training programs for many athletes. However, these athletes are generally relatively young and have a lot of potential for development. But looking at Pancic's appearance, it is obvious that he does not belong to the young players, so they are quite surprised.
"Professor Zhang, although our Xiao Pan is indeed not young, he is exactly thirty this year, but in terms of tennis, he is a newcomer. He has not received professional physical training before, which is basically a blank slate, and our team's existing physical program may not be suitable for him. That's why we brought in a few experts to tailor a training program for him. I hope to make his body meet the requirements of professional competition in the shortest possible time. Director Xiao explained.
"What? Thirty years old? No prior professional training? You mean he wasn't a professional athlete in the first place? Professor Zhang opened his mouth.
"Yes, Xiao Pan was just an amateur tennis player before." Coach Zheng replied.
Several experts glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes. It seems that this incident encountered today has really shocked several well-informed and experienced experts.
"Well, this is the first time we've encountered this situation, and we must know that we have worked with professional athletes with a certain foundation before. Let's discuss it and see what we should do next. After speaking, Professor Zhang gathered several experts around and discussed.
"Hey, it seems that my experience is still quite incredible in the eyes of many people. Also, if I am a stranger and suddenly hear about this, I am afraid that my first reaction is to choose not to believe it. Pansic found himself getting used to hearing that everyone would be shocked to hear his age and what he had been going through before.
After a while, the expert discussion ended. Professor Zhang gave his opinion as a representative: "After several of us discussed, I feel that we still don't know much about Xiao Pan's physical condition, and we need to conduct a comprehensive physical test on him, which is equivalent to a comprehensive examination. After receiving the results of the examination, we can develop a specific training plan. ”
"Physical tests? It doesn't look like a physical education exam, does it? Pansiqi asked, knowing that the physical education exam as a student was one of his most troublesome exams.
"No, no, no, it's not an exam, it's more akin to a physical exam. Don't worry, it's not difficult, we just need to know the current functional indicators of your body. Professor Zhang explained.
Next, Pansiqi underwent an extremely detailed physical examination by several specialists, and precise data on all aspects of his body were recorded one by one. Immediately afterwards, he was asked to do a 50-meter sprint, a 10-minute endurance run, a standing long jump, a height touch, a grip strength test, a hitting strength test, a leg squat and dozens of other tests, which were all physical tests that he had never seen before.
"Mom, it's a lot more tiring than playing." After barely doing twenty push-ups, Pansic collapsed to the ground and said weakly.
It took almost half a morning for Pansiqi's comprehensive physical test to finally be completed, and the experts also had a preliminary understanding of Pansiqi's current physical condition. Pansiqi also wanted to know what level he was at at this time, so he was quite expecting the results of the experts.
"After our tests, Pansiqi's test results came back. His body is basically in a healthy state, his athletic ability is good, and as an ordinary person, he can be regarded as an upper-middle level, indicating that he usually maintains a certain amount of physical exercise. After listening to Professor Zhang's words, Pan Xiqi was still a little happy, it seemed that his health was not bad.
"However, if you look at it according to the requirements of professional athletes, Pansiqi is really far behind. There is a huge gap between his indicators and those of athletes, so to speak, his current body is completely an ordinary person, and he has nothing to do with athletes. ”
"What? Why is there such a big gap? Hearing this result, Pansiqi was completely speechless. Before, he still had a trace of fantasy, feeling that since he had been transformed by the alien dog, his physical condition would be greatly improved no matter what. I didn't expect it to have no effect at all, it seems that the alien dog said that he couldn't strengthen his body and didn't lie to him.
"Damn alien dog, why didn't you forget to bring body-strengthening equipment, so that my body foundation is so poor, I guess I will suffer in the future. Hmph, I have to go to the toilet a few times in the future and starve them a few times. Pansiqi had the evil idea of taking revenge on the alien dogs.
"Professor Zhang, with Xiao Pan's current situation, how long will it take to reach a professional level through physical training?" Coach Zheng asked with concern.
"His foundation is too poor to be too aggressive, and he can't stand it if he trains too hard. According to our speculation, if we strictly follow the training plan we have formulated, it will take more than half a year to barely meet the conditions of professional athletes. Professor Zhang replied.
"For more than half a year, it seems that the National Tennis Grand Prix in three months will not be able to catch up." Coach Zheng was a little disappointed. "But it doesn't matter, it's just a Grand Prix, our ultimate goal is the National Games in a few years, and there is time." Coach Zheng comforted Pan Xiqi and said.
"Can't you compress your training time?" Pan Xiqi asked Professor Zhang.
"It can't be helped. If you want to compress the time, you can only increase the intensity of training, but then your existing body will not be able to stand it at all, and I am afraid that you will suffer a very serious injury, and then the gain will outweigh the loss. Half a year is already my most optimistic estimate of you. Professor Zhang shook his head.
"If it's just an injury, it's much better. Coach, don't worry, I will definitely participate in the National Tennis Grand Prix in three months! Pan Xiqi patted Coach Zheng's shoulder and said firmly.
