Chapter Ninety-Five: The Morale Booster
In the advanced stage of upgrading to a second-rate coach, Li Dai once again received an upgrade package, but in the gift package, there was only a golden piece of paper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"A piece of paper?" Li Dai looked carefully, and there were several big characters written on the top of this paper: "Morale Boosting Book"
"Morale booster? What the hell is this? Li Dai looked a little confused.
"You are familiar with the word morale, for athletes, high morale can make them perform better, even at a higher level; And if the morale of the athletes is low, they will have no intention of fighting in the competition, and they may not even be able to perform at half of their usual level. The system explained.
"All of this stuff is used to boost athlete morale?" Li Dai felt a little incredible, and he continued to look down.
"The first step to boosting morale: praise athletes before they come on the field."
"The second step to boost morale: give applause and encouragement when the athletes are on the field."
"The third step to boost morale: shout 'come on' when the athletes compete."
Li Dai's expression twitched, and there were only a few words written on the whole paper, and it sounded very unreliable.
"What kind of bullshit is this, complimenting athletes? Applaud? And shouting cheers? Is this a way to boost athlete morale? Li Dai scolded in his heart
"Don't doubt that when you play, if the whole crowd cheers you on, will you feel a morale boost? Isn't it generally better to play at home? So this method is definitely very effective, if you combine the three, even if the athlete has just been dumped by his girlfriend, he can become morale-high. The system then explained, "I'll explain three things to you about this skill. First, the skill works from the time the athlete walks on the field to the time the athlete walks off the field, not from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. ”
Li Dai thought about it carefully: "I roughly understand this meaning, for example, in the 100-meter sprint, the action time can be regarded as the beginning and end of a race; If it is shot put, javelin, weightlifting, diving, etc., this kind of sport that requires multiple appearances in the competition can be used every time the athlete goes on the court; And if it is a sport such as basketball, football, volleyball, there is a pause or halftime, and substitutions can be made during the game, and the action time is the time when the athlete continues to play, do I understand it that way? ”
"It's smart, like in basketball, sometimes a player can only be substituted for one round, and if you play an offensive or a defensive round, you will be substituted, and that's one time on the court. Or just after the serve called a timeout, this is also a time on the court. The Morale Boost can only affect the time he plays this time, even if it is only for 1 second. "The system is very detailed.
"I understand this one, but what about the second point?" Li Dai then asked.
"Second, the effects of skills cannot be stacked during the same time of action. For example, when an athlete is competing, shouting once is the same as shouting 100 times. Thirdly, this skill can be used against groups, join you as the coach of a basketball team or soccer team, and you can use this skill to boost the morale of all your athletes when they are about to play. The system explained the last two in one go.
"Okay, I see, if I'm a soccer coach and you shout 'you're the best' at the players before you come out and they come on the pitch and they applaud everybody and yell 'come on' to the whole stadium when the game starts, then everybody's going to be in high spirits, right?" Li Dai asked.
"That's right, that's what it means."
"So what if the player is a foreigner? Should I shout cheers in a foreign language? Li Dai then asked.
"It's not difficult to shout cheers in a foreign language! One word, GO! Two words, COME ON! In fact, the language doesn't matter, as long as the athlete can understand what you mean. The system spoke.
……
On the second day, Li Dai completed the procedures for completing the secondment and returned to the weightlifting team.
"Xiao Li, you're finally back!" Jiang Aiguo looked excited.
Not only Jiang Aiguo, but other athletes also expressed great welcome to Li Dai's return. Before that, they were all used to Li Dai giving them a relaxing massage, and after Li Dai left, no one gave these athletes a relaxing massage, and then they realized the importance of Li Dai.
In the past four months, Jiang Aiguo participated in a national Grand Prix sub-station race and a weightlifting championship, without the assistance of the explosive halo, although Jiang Aiguo did not get the top three, but still achieved the ranking. And next, Jiang Aiguo is about to participate in the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Competition.
"Xiao Li, I can be regarded as looking forward to bringing you back. There are three weeks left until the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Championships, and if you don't come back, I won't be able to compete. Jiang Aiguo said with a smile.
After the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Championships, the domestic weightlifting competitions of the year are all over, and the qualifications for the year-end finals are determined according to the points of each station, that is to say, those who can participate in the year-end finals are all masters among weightlifters.
For Jiang Aiguo, this game is also particularly important, he only needs to stay up for another year before he can retire, so this year-end finals will be the last major game in Jiang Aiguo's career.
Li Dai also wanted to take this opportunity to experiment on the effect of the morale booster.
It's a pity that Jiang Aiguo didn't give Li Dai this opportunity. During the three-week training, Jiang Aiguo's morale was high, and he seemed a little excited, and Li Dai inquired and learned that the volunteers of "Operation Smile" came to Qingcheng a few days ago and performed a second operation on Jiang Aiguo's daughter, and the operation was very successful, so Jiang Aiguo was also in a good mood.
Operation Smile is a non-profit charity that provides free medical care to children from underprivileged families with other head and facial deformities with cleft lip and palate, and many of its volunteers are national and international experts and scholars. Although Jiang Aiguo's family is not poor, Jiang Aiguo took the opportunity of Operation Smile to come to Qingcheng and asked one of the British cleft lip and palate experts to operate on his daughter.
Jiang Aiguo's life is full of hope, and this effect lasted until the year-end finals of the National Weightlifting Championship three weeks later. Li Dai didn't see any effect on using the morale-boosting book for an athlete with high morale, which made him really depressed.
Jiang Aiguo is in good shape, and he won a third place in the year-end finals, which is a very unnatural result for a 32-year-old veteran.
After the year-end finals, the weightlifting team is basically in a state of semi-holiday, as the Spring Festival is approaching, many athletes or coaches from other places have the opportunity to take a holiday in advance, and Li Dai is also preparing to go home for the New Year.
