"Please go back!"

Snell said coldly, then turned and went back upstairs. Leaving Yi Fan and Rogers looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

Although both of them are 1.8 meters tall and tall, they are nothing more than two twenty-year-old freshmen, plus they spent their time on sports in the past, and their emotional intelligence is worrying.

The old man on the side naturally saw it, he waved his hand and led them to the living room to sit down.

Yi Fan couldn't figure it out. This old man looks better than him, and he doesn't look seriously ill at all. Snell, on the other hand, looked sluggish, and was clearly not back to take care of his family, as Diana had said.

Things may not be as the school says.

"Grandpa, can you tell us a little bit about Coach Snell?"

Yi Fan felt that if he didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, according to Snell's character, it would definitely not work.

"It's a long story, and it goes back to when I was a strength and conditioning coach on a league team, when he had just graduated."

The old man looked helpless when he talked about it.

Back in the 90s, visas weren't as simple as they are now. It is not easy to work and live in the United States, and you often have to be an expert in various industries to have such conditions.

Basketball, football, baseball and other sports in the United States have a long history and have a history of nearly 100 years. At that time, neither sports equipment nor treatment technology was as advanced as it is now.

As a result, the fierce competition of rugby has become the hardest hit area for player injuries. Therefore, the league decided to adopt various ways to strengthen the prevention and control of injuries and prolong the sports career of players.

On the one hand, it is an improvement in rules and equipment. On the other hand, it's from the players themselves.

Therefore, how to better exercise and improve has become a top priority.

Snell's father was a martial arts family, but with the economic development, the number of martial arts practitioners has not been as good as before, and it is difficult for a small gym like theirs to operate.

Fortunately, in addition to boxing, the ancestors also handed down a massage and physical fitness kung fu, Snell's father not only mastered it all, but also learned acupuncture kung fu, not very old but very famous.

That's why. She was invited to the United States to participate in the recovery of sports injuries.

When he first arrived in the United States, the language barrier, his skills and views were not accepted, and the old man had a very difficult time.

In addition, foreigners have colored glasses for Chinese people, and they look down on him and distrust him, and they will not let him do any important work at all.

For a long time, he was just helping the team. But with the help of this period of precipitation, the old man slowly learned about rugby, which he had never been exposed to, as well as the habits and privileges of players.

After a few years, with the popularity accumulated from several treatments and daily massages, the skills and skills of the old man were gradually recognized.

"I started with the Chicago Bears, then the Steelers, and finally the Lions. From the initial medical staff to the later physical coach, Snell has been involved in rugby since he was a child because of his good relationship with the players. ”

Although Snell's father was a healer, his mother was a baseball player, so Snell was not tall but had some athletic talent.

His height doesn't have much of an advantage in basketball, and he doesn't have a particular interest in baseball. At the beginning of primary school, he started playing flag football.

With his father's connections, the Lions' arena became where he grew up. This kind of reading and watching from an early age, as well as the guidance and attention of professional players, has allowed Snell to stand out from his peers faster.

"However, Snell's own talent is not outstanding, although he has the guidance and guidance of professional players, he can't jump high, he can't run fast, and his body is not strong enough."

"So, he's a quarterback?"

After all, compared to other positions, quarterbacks are more demanding on the brain than on the body. At the technical level, Snell is understandable, but in terms of tactical precipitation, the gap between him and others is quickly reflected.

So after high school, Snell's ability became more and more mediocre, and when he got to college, it was even more difficult to break through.

"What's more, he's a half-breed. At that time, the college team still valued the pedigree, so he was not favored from the beginning. Even if you put in more effort and sweat more than others, you are not taken seriously and have few opportunities to play. ”

Even now, black quarterbacks are relatively rare, on the one hand, because of the historical heritage, and on the other hand, it is naturally the intentional choice of the team owner.

"However, in the few opportunities he had on the court, he performed well, so he was also favored by the team and invited to participate in the physical test training camp of the draft."

The physical test training camp Yifan still knows. Generally, those who can be invited to participate are senior players who are likely to participate in the draft. Through the training camp, the league team understands the level and ability of the players, and once they can achieve eye-catching results in the physical test camp, they can generally pass the draft, or even the draft with a high pick.

Since Snell was able to participate in the physical test training camp, it shows that he still has a certain foundation.

"How about the end! Was it drafted by which team? Yi Fan asked anxiously.

"Young man! Are you stupid enough to be your quarterback coach if you're drafted? ”

The old man shook his head with a wry smile, poured a few cups of tea, and drank it leisurely.

"Not selected? Didn't he go to the physical test training camp! It's quite eye-catching in the regular season, isn't it? ”

According to the old man's description, Snell's performance was not bad. The quarterbacks are very popular in the draft, and even if they don't get a high-pick draft, at least they have low-pick signings or even guaranteed contracts, so they shouldn't be reduced to nothing.

"It's a pity that for many reasons, he was not selected in the draft and failed to realize his dream of playing in the league."

Speaking of this, the old man looked very depressed. His son failed to realize his dream, which was more sad than his own failure, and his mood Yifan couldn't understand, so he didn't know how to express it if he wanted to comfort him.

As for the so-called many reasons, the old man did not explain further. Yifan was more or less aware of the unspeakable hidden in it, and he wouldn't ask more.

"At the time, I was still working for the Lions and had a good relationship with owner Fox, so I asked him to step in and hire Snell to work for the Wolverines and eventually coach the quarterback there.

Although the rugby team has a large number of coaches, each position has its own dedicated coach. But here, the quarterback coach is a very important role, as the heart and brain of the team, the level of the quarterback position determines the team's offensive firepower.

Quarterback coaches in ordinary schools are generally accomplished people, some are offensive coordinators, some are even coaches, and there are very few quarterbacks like the Wolverines who use a newly graduated hairy guy as a quarterback.

But as it turned out, the decision was quite correct. During his tenure as quarterback coach, the team's offensive efficiency and quarterback ratings improved dramatically, leaving the Wolverines among the top 10 league divisions for a long time.

During this period, it has cultivated quarterback players in several leagues. Like Karl, quarterback for the Raiders, Mark Barkley for the Cardinals, and Brady for the new league.

"Tactical layout is not his strong point, but the discovery and improvement of personal talent is his forte. It's a pity that he is too strong, upright, often quarrels with others, and can't get along with many people, and later caused a lot of trouble. It was the same when he came back this time, at the National Championship, he had a disagreement with the team's offensive coordinator, Rosen, about Brady's use, and in the end they lost the game, and the pot fell to Snell, so he was called home. ”

Last season, the team lifted the Rose Bowl and squeezed into the semi-finals of the National Championship as a winner. But in the end, it fell to the Alabama Red Tide. In that game, Luis and others were injured, Isopur was watched to death, and Brady didn't play much.

The process of the game and the specific tactics, Yi Fan naturally has no way of knowing, he only knows that the three cores are not in the team after that, so it caused this season's malaise.

"The game is not for one person, winning is shared by fifty-three people, and losing is shared by fifty-three people. No one can take responsibility alone, neither the players on the pitch nor the coaches. So, I can't understand why the pot of the loss should be thrown on Coach Snell. Brady's current results are enough to show that he is doing the right thing. ”

Yi Fan's tone was firm and categorical, without a trace of hesitation. These words were told to him by Dean and were deeply ingrained in his heart. That's what team sports are all about.

Even if it looks like an inconspicuous college regular season, there is a battle of wits between hundreds and hundreds, not to mention the more intense league games, which involve more and more people.

The old man nodded slightly after listening to Yi Fan's words, over the years, he has seen countless players, and many people know the team spirit, but few people can remember it like this and truly integrate it into their own consciousness. Quarterbacks, in particular, who have the ball in their hands and are the heart of the offense, are often the easiest to overlook their teammates.

There is a ball in your hand and a friend in your heart. Truly teamwork is the foundation of a good quarterback.

"You're right, but not everyone thinks so. You don't understand the world of adults, behind the simple ball game, there is more human nature and complexity. ”

The old man was thoughtful, he didn't particularly want to discuss these too heavy topics with the two young lads. The most important thing for the two of them now is to improve themselves wholeheartedly, play every game well, and complete every attack.

"Why haven't you left yet? I said I wouldn't go back. It's going to be a game the day after tomorrow, so let's go back. ”

Snell walked out with the cup, and when he saw that Yi Fan and Rogers were still here, he couldn't help frowning, looking impatient.

It's not that he doesn't know about these two people, since the wild card game, the Wolverines game has been broadcast live on TV, so he watched both. Naturally, Rodgers and Yi Fan are the two freshman quarterbacks.

"We won't leave until you promise to go back to school without guiding us."

Yi Fan saw that Snell finally reappeared, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to express his thoughts to the other party.

He's not flattering, he just feels like he needs a quarterback coach urgently, that's all.

Snell didn't expect this kid to be so direct, in the video, Yi Fan's passing was frequently wrong, whether it was crosshair or speed, it was not on the table at all. If it weren't for strong teammates like Izeble and Luiz, his wild card journey would have been over long ago.

In contrast, although Rodgers' skills are better, his body is too short, and with an arm injury, it will take several months to recover alone, let alone improve further.

Therefore, in his opinion, these two people are waste stones with no future, and they have no potential for development.

Those who know Snell know that he is only interested in the teams he thinks are capable of, and he will do his best to teach these people, and he often ignores the average quarterback, and even if he gives advice, it is very perfunctory.

It is this kind of differential treatment that makes him have a bad reputation among students, especially those quarterbacks who don't like him.

"Coach Snell, please give us some pointers, I'll try to learn."

Even if he saw that the other party was not interested, Yifan still did not give up. He tries to show himself with actions, since the other party knows the game the day after tomorrow, he knows that he still pays attention to the information of the team, and his own situation must be clear. That's why he wants to use practical actions to change the other party's mind.

"If I tell me, you can learn? I can't help but think too highly of myself. ”

After hearing Yi Fan's words, Snell almost laughed, you must know that even a simple passing action on weekdays has to be hundreds or thousands of times in a row to get a first glimpse of the door. Not to mention the footsteps, strides, elbow angles and many other details. Everyone's body is different, so how to train the most suitable fighting method for a person according to his situation is what a quarterback coach does. It's what Snell does best.

He absorbed the medical skills inherited from his family, combined with his father's decades of experience, and integrated them with his own insights and requirements for quarterbacks, so that he could start from the aspects of body, shape, posture and posture to train and improve in an all-round way.

Those who are gifted have to take great pains to master, let alone ordinary people.

So after hearing Yi Fan's request for guidance and working hard to master, he felt that this kid was hopeless and there was no need for guidance.

"Coach, if you don't believe it, you might as well give it a try! It's not just big talk, but it's actually not very capable. If we don't get what you want, we'll go back right away and never come back. ”

Seeing that persuading the other party would not work, Yi Fan had to change his way and use the method of provocation to provoke Snell.
