"Stop for a moment." Li Dai clapped his hands: "Everyone come here, let's have a meeting first." ”
The five young athletes immediately stopped and gathered in front of Li Dai.
Li Dai had a stern expression on his face, glanced at everyone, and then he spoke: "What is the quality of your training in the past few days, do you have a good mental count?" I wondered, why don't you just refuse to train seriously and have to be perfunctory? Is it a sin against you, and what are your grievances against me? ”
Li Dai said this deliberately, and he hoped that in this way, the athletes would open up the conversation.
Without waiting for the five people to answer, Li Dai first pointed to a young athlete: "Zhao Zhanshan, you say it first." ”
"No, Coach, absolutely not." Zhao Zhanshan immediately shook his head and said.
"Chen Jianxian, you say." Li Dai pointed to another athlete.
"We've only known each other for a few days, how can we be dissatisfied with you!" Chen said with a smile.
"Nobody is upset with me, is there?" Li Dai continued to scan the crowd: "Then we have to make it clear today, why don't you all train seriously and always take my words as the wind in your ears?" Don't you think I'm a newcomer to deceive my life? ”
"No, coach, how dare we!" Chen Jianxing continued to shout, and several people next to him also nodded.
Li Dai observed their expressions, and he found that Wang Bin looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he immediately called names: "Wang Bin, you say!" ”
"Me? Say what? Wang Bin didn't expect Li Dai to call his name, and he was a little caught off guard.
"Whatever you think in your heart, just say it, like a gentleman, say it if you have something, don't hold it in your heart!" Li Dai said very simply.
Wang Bin hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth fiercely: "Coach, since you said so, then I will say it clearly." We all know that you have what it takes, and on your first day in office, you pointed out our technical shortcomings. But for us, it doesn't matter if those technical shortcomings are fixed or not. We were not selected for the sports team, and the road to continuing to be athletes has been cut off. ”
Wang Bin's words seemed to open the conversation, and Qin Lei next to him also said: "Coach Li, we all know that you are for our good." But we feel that you are doing all this for nothing, and you are wasting your time and energy on us. If we were really talented, we would have been selected by the physical engineering brigade a long time ago. ”
"Yes, it's not that we don't want to work hard, but no matter how hard we practice, we guess that's what we're doing now." Chen Jianxing had already put away his smile: "After the summer, I will be 18 years old, if there is no other place to go for the time being, I will not continue to stay here." Actually, my family wanted me to go to a technical school to learn a technology, but the technical school didn't start until September, so I spent time here for the time being. ”
"Coach, you don't have to bother with us, we are really not the kind of material to be athletes. Actually, we don't plan to continue to be athletes, we have already figured out how to retreat. Wang Bin pointed to a few other people: "Chen Jianxing is going to go to a technical school; Zhao Zhanshan went home to open a commissary with his mother; Qin Lei plans to go to the south to work; Luo Feng wants to go to school and retake the college entrance examination; As for me, we are building an industrial area in our town, and when it is done, I plan to try my luck and see if I can find a job. ”
"Sure enough, as Xu Zhongyi said, they haven't produced results for too long, so they have given up on themselves." Li Dai looked at them sharply, and then asked, "I haven't given up on you, are you going to give up on yourself?" ”
"You're not losers, you're just not making it, and now, you're giving up on yourself before you get it! I don't know how many years you've practiced shot put, but I know you've put in a lot of effort. One day in the future, when you think back to today and your abandonment, won't you feel regretful? ”
The five young athletes fell silent at the same time, and they were able to be selected for the provincial youth team, all of whom had been practicing shot put for several years. How can a person who has been engaged in a career for several years, and has to give up because he has not achieved anything, has no regrets in his heart.
"I'll feel sorry, but that's the way it is!" The first to speak was Qin Lei: "When we came here, we were also full of ambition, we felt that we had entered the provincial youth team, and we could soar from now on; We also looked forward to entering the provincial sports team and even the national team; We also dreamed of winning gold and silver on the field and breaking world records like Lin Feixiang. It's a pity that those are just dreams......
Qin Lei looked a little excited, as if he was about to cry, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "I remember that there are dozens of people who entered the youth team with me, we received the same training, we put in the same effort, but every day someone falls behind, there are fewer and fewer people, every day I try to persevere, but I can only watch as those with better talent leave me behind, and we are helpless." ”
Qin Lei's eyes flashed with pain and unwillingness, and several other people also showed similar expressions.
Li Dai listened carefully, and he could think of the pictures that Qin Lei was telling.
A teenager, in the school team, in the county team, and even in the city team, are outstanding, he came to the provincial team with full expectations, but here, everyone's strength is not weaker than him, everyone's talent is not worse than him, here gathered the best talents in the province, and he is not here to be sharp.
He has changed from a "genius" to an ordinary person, the coach did not look at her differently, but just arranged the same training plan for him as everyone else, gradually, he fell behind, fell behind, he was always enjoying the taste of victory in the past, and now he has to swallow the bitter fruit of failure!
Finally, he lost the self-confidence he had back then, and he didn't have that kind of complacency, he gave up!
……
This is a common situation in youth teams because there are so few coaches, especially when new athletes come in every year, and one coach has to deal with dozens of athletes.
If a coach has to take a lot of athletes, the scene is similar to taking a physical education class, the coach can't take care of every athlete, they can only be like a physical education teacher, assign tasks and let the athletes complete it themselves.
In this process, the athletes themselves will widen the gap, and the athletes with good performance will get the attention of the coach and get more guidance, while the athletes with poor performance will gradually be ignored by the coach and eventually become "laggards". Under the trade-off, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker.
Li Dai has always felt that this kind of "cauldron mixing" training method is not advisable, and athletes still need to teach according to their aptitude. It's like dumplings, those that cook faster will definitely float up from the bottom of the pot first, but this doesn't prove that those dumplings that haven't floated up before they taste good.
"I see." Li Dai sighed: "I can understand your feelings, but I also implore you not to give up and try to work hard again." I have pointed out your technical shortcomings, and I am sure that if you are willing to correct them, your results will definitely improve significantly. ”
"I hope you can give me a chance to try to follow my method and see if my training is working; It is also a chance for yourselves to make one last effort. Even if you can't be an athlete in the future, at least you have tried, you have tried, and there will be no regrets in people's athletic careers. ”
The five people fell silent at the same time, and no one responded to Li Dai.
However, Li Dai saw different results from their expressions. Zhao Zhanshan and Wang Bin looked very confused, Qin Lei was very struggling, as if there was a fierce psychological struggle, Luo Feng directly showed an expression of refusal to cooperate, and Chen Jianxing was disdainful of Li Dai's words.
"Qin Lei is the breakthrough!" Li Dai made a judgment at the first time, compared with others, Qin Lei's struggle is the most vulnerable and the easiest to be used, and he will never refuse Li Dai.
"Qin Lei, your main problem is that when you push the ball, the elbow joint is raised too high, now let's try it, what effect will it have if you lower the elbow joint." Li Dai couldn't help but say, and directly dragged Qin Lei to the throwing area.
"Do a throw-off without the ball first." Li Dai commanded, and Qin Lei was also very cooperative.
"Stop, this is it, lower your elbows, start all over again......"
"Stop, don't deliberately press down, be natural, and do it again......"
"yes, that's good, that's it, now give it a try with the ball."
Under Li Dai's personal guidance, Qin Lei learned the technique of lowering his elbows, of course, this is just learned, and if you want to form a habit, you still need a lot of practice.
Li Dai handed the shot put to Qin Lei's hand: "Qin Lei, this time is actual combat training, use the method I just taught you to throw a try, see how far you can throw." ”
Li Dai said as he entered the system and re-equipped the explosive aura.
In these days of training, Li Dai has not been equipped with an explosive aura, and he hopes to get a real result. And now, in order to convince Qin Lei that the effect of his guidance was very effective, he decided to use an explosive aura.
Qin Lei stood in the throwing area, he adjusted his breathing, and then prepared for the throw.
"Be careful not to raise your elbows, think back to what you just did, be natural, yes, that's all!" Li Dai continued to guide the person next to him, and Qin Lei suddenly exerted his strength and threw the shot put.
"Bang!"
The shot put hit the ground with a dull sound.
However, everyone saw that the final landing point of the shot put had exceeded the 15-meter mark.
"15 meters! I read that right! Qin Lei's score in this throw exceeded 15 meters! He usually throws 14 meters, which is considered good. The eyes of the four young athletes behind widened in surprise.
"15 meters? I actually threw 15 meters? I've never thrown 15 meters! Qin Lei felt a long-lost ecstasy in his heart, and then he looked at Li Dai for the first time.
"Coach Li is right, his guidance really works! Maybe I should do it one last time, as he said! ”
