Chapter 213: Running well doesn't mean teaching well
Tang Dynasty. Quarry, full name Donald. O'Riley. Tang Dynasty. Quarry.
February 25, 1951 Don. Quarry was born in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. With a height of 1.75 meters and a weight of 70 kilograms, he was one of the world's top sprinters in the 70s of the 20th century. Tang Dynasty. Quarry joined the Jamaica national track and field team at the age of 17 and has competed in four Olympic Games, winning four medals, including one gold, two silvers and one bronze.
He finished second in 10.07 seconds in the 100m at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Away from the champion Trinidad and Tobago Hatheri. Crawford's 10.06 seconds was just 0.01 seconds behind and was in second place.
At the same time, he won the championship in 200m 20.23 seconds, winning Jamaica's first Olympic sprint gold medal in history.
In the 1980 Moscow Olympics, he won the third place in the 200m 20.29 seconds.
At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he teamed up with teammates Lawrence, Meghu, Stewart and Edwards in the 4x100m to win in 38.93 seconds in the preliminaries, advance in the semifinals in 38.67 seconds, and run 38.62 seconds in the final, second only to the powerful United States team (37.83 seconds gold medal), and won a silver medal.
He has won medals in four Olympic careers and is also the first gold medalist in Jamaica's history, which is of great significance.
By all measure, he's a heavyweight.
It seems that the career resume is also brilliant.
But......
There's a problem here.
First of all, Don. Quarry was a sprinter in the seventies and eighties, and the short cannon technique at that time and now are completely different short cannon techniques, and his best personal PB is only about 10 seconds, plus this gentleman does not have a professional follow-up coaching and other learning, whether it is okay to eat the old bottom, this Su Shen is very skeptical.
There is absolutely no disrespect, it's just that running fast doesn't mean teaching well, otherwise Bolt would just go straight to coaching, and what else does Mills need. The vast majority of retired athletes, in fact, are unable to transform their coaching status, nor can they prepare for scientific research, and scientific research athletes are rare throughout history.
Apparently this Don, who won the first gold medal for Jamaica. Quarry, who doesn't have this ability, doesn't have that ability either.
Su Shen's judgment is actually not a problem at all.
Because of this time period in history, Don. Quarry did come here and hired him for a weekly salary of more than $1,000, but the final result, as everyone knows, did not have any substantive effect. It's just that at this point in time, Su Shen didn't even come in with the provincial team, how could he come into contact with the affairs of the national youth. And Don. The time that Quarry came was too short, and the dragonfly did not leave any traces in history, so Su Shen naturally didn't know much about him.
In the days of reporting, many geniuses came one after another from all over the country.
For example, Zhang Peimeng in the imperial capital, such as the old rival Yin Hualong, Wen Yongyi, Xiao Liu Yang, and Liang Jiahong, the original geniuses of Guangdong Province, needless to say. In addition to these, there are also some old people who are not trained by the national youth.
For example, the biggest sprinter in China who has long made an appointment with Su Shen, Da Liu Yang.
In this regard, in fact, you are the top star in China, you only need to say hello, you can come.
That's no problem.
It's just a matter of cost, please take care of yourself.
In addition to these, there are also some younger seedlings that have been sent out, but the main task is clear to everyone.
It's in the generation that can make achievements.
"Little master, according to the agreement, I am here." Da Liu Yang greeted Su Shen warmly when he came over, and at first glance he was the eager character of an old brother. Su Shen also has a very good impression of him, and besides, he can be so enthusiastic about running at his "age", which is really rare in this year.
"This time, little master, you have to guide me well."
"Brother Liu, don't call me little master, just call me Xiao Tian."
"That's okay." Da Liu Yang insisted: "Since I came seriously to learn from the teacher, then I must call it like this, there is an ancient saying, there are successive techniques and specializations, and those who reach the Tao are teachers." If I worship you, I will call you little master. ”
can't resist Da Liu Yang, Su Shen can only give up, but he also has a little more affection for Da Liu Yang, a senior who retired long ago after his official debut in the previous life.
"Congratulations, Xiao Tian, I heard that you broke your PB again at the Guangdong Provincial Athletics Open, 10.30 seconds at the age of 16, which is amazing." Zhang Peimeng also came over to greet Su Shen and expressed his congratulations at the same time. Zhang Peimeng's meeting this time was obviously a lot more restrained, and he lacked the arrogance of being called into the national team early when he first met.
It seems that this National Games has no results, and it is a big blow to him.
I got to know myself again, and I wasn't so floating.
This is actually a good thing for him.
"You're not bad, let's go together in the youth training this time." Su Shen and Zhang Pei shook hands violently.
Afterwards, Yin Hualong and Wen Yongyi also came over to greet Su Shen, and this meeting made Zhou Bing feel envious in his heart.
These are all the famous players in the industry in his heart, young leaders, and the results are all on Su Shen's side, and they are extremely enthusiastic.
On the other hand, there is no one to greet him.
I'm so angry, I must work hard, and then let you look at me like this!
Zhou Bing secretly clenched his fists in his heart, and his ambition was strong again.
As for why he is only so close to Su Shen, it is not because of ...... Some "lonely and arrogant" don't pay attention to people at all, and they look like they are rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Coupled with the height of 189, excellent PB, and handsome and beautiful face, to be honest, there are few male compatriots who can be comfortable in front of him.
So they all automatically avoided it.
After saying hello, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I saw Yuan Guoqiang in the distance bring a black man who was not very tall.
Su Shen looked at it, and sure enough, it was Tang. Quarry, the first Jamaican gold medalist.
The people around him were faintly sensational.
To be honest, Su Shen is actually quite curious about this kind of running celebrity, if ...... This time I didn't come to coach.
The plan for this plate, Su Shen has already co-ordinated, if this Tang. Quarry can reach Randy. It doesn't matter how good Huntington is, they can work together, but if they don't, then they have to figure out how to do it.
In this winter training, he didn't come to play, there are a lot of things to do, don't look at the 100 days, the time is still very tight.
Su Shen team this Tang. Quarry's first impression was actually okay, I felt more enthusiastic, and I didn't underestimate everyone, maybe Jamaica was not a strong country in the first place. And I heard that his arrival was recommended by the domestic ambassador in Jamaica, and he began to try the practice of "inviting in".
Don't talk nonsense, just start training, after all, it's all costly.
It's only a week, there's not much to spare, and you have to hurry up and let the money work.
Hong Kong is really good.
As soon as you enter the training section, you can see these training environments such as high leg raises, high leg lifts with weights on the shoulders, 30~50 meters acceleration run tied to sandbags, breath-holding running, ankle small step running, straight back running, back kicking, step running, lunge vertical jumping, chasing run, acceleration running, short-distance combination running and so on...... Su Shen only had four big words in his mind.
A body blow.
This is not unusual at all.
People who can run, how many people can teach well, and can do a good job in research and promotion?
Less pitiful.
Not to mention running, basketball and football are the same for almost all sports.
People who can do a good job as coaches and athletes at the same time are even rarer than phoenixes.
And what surprised Su Shen the most was that he was still emphasizing a large amount of training and strengthening physical training???
Ah......h
Su Shen: ???
But suddenly I remembered that I had seen Bolt's personal biographical movie before, in which Bolt said that the amount of training at that time was too big for his former coach, which made him a little physically unbearable, so he chose Mills. This actually reveals a message - at this time, Jamaica's training is probably more advanced than that of China, but it is also a road paved with countless people as ashes.
What's more, it's still Lao Mi's track and field world.
If Mills had not led this group of people to rise, Jamaica would still not have been able to cross the hurdle of the United States on the road of men. At the very least, Bolt will be tormented by injuries.
These events, linked together, can actually draw a general fact.
In Jamaica now, except for Mills, the training is not necessarily very good.
Although there are also merits, such as Don. Coaches should also strengthen communication with athletes, which is very important, Quarry said. You have to know what the athletes are thinking, and then you have to think about what they need, and then you know what's best.
In terms of the system, it is also proposed to pay more attention to core training, but to be honest, the rest are not as advanced as imagined.
Although, he did not slack off because he was a "one-week coach", and the whole teaching process was very serious.
However, it is still the same sentence.
During this time, there have been too many changes in the sports world, and he still uses some old routines from the 70s~80s, how can he do it?
During these years, he was in China and did not coach at an elite level.
In this way, it is a big problem.
The key domestic coaches also have a kind of, oops, "I think the same way" and "it makes sense".
This is definitely not a good thing.
Even Yuan Guoqiang seemed to be a little frightened by the name of this Jamaican gold boss, nodded again and again, and studied seriously.
Su Shen didn't have time to delay, and the next day, seeing that it was still the same pattern, there was no choice but to make this decision.
I saw him take a deep breath and stride out.
PS: This person is really here, and it is also at this point in time to coach, originally the easter egg was to send this old news, but it turned out that it couldn't pass twice, there was no way, only to hit it with his hands, this is Quarry's answer to an interview with the Oriental Morning Post before leaving-"I think they should strengthen physical training, and at the same time, the coach should also strengthen communication with athletes, communication is very important." You have to know what the athletes are thinking, and then you have to think about what they need."
Quarry does not think that the training method of foreign coaches is necessarily better than that of local coaches, saying that Jamaica has a long history of track and field, Chinese sprinting has just started, and the athletes are still very young, and we are just working together for Chinese track and field and learning from each other.
You can savor the meaning of these two paragraphs, especially the latter sentence, which is estimated to give many domestic coaches the illusion that they are not bad. Manual dog head.
