All-round Athlete

Chapter 3 Entering the Provincial Team

After Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, he looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he prepared to leave.

"Don't go yet." A voice came from behind him, he looked back and saw an old man and a middle-aged man walking over.

"Two examiners, can I go?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Your name is Zhang Guan, right? My surname is Chen, his surname is Zhou, and we are both coaches of the provincial track and field team." The old man first introduced himself, and then asked, "Do you want to come to the provincial team and follow me?" practice?"

"Provincial team?" Zhang Guan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Aren't all the provincial teams professional athletes?"

The old man surnamed Chen nodded: "Yes, they are all professional athletes. If you come, you are also a professional athlete."

"Why did you choose me?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"Your 100-meter speed is very fast. If you can strengthen your training, you will definitely become a leader in domestic sprint events. In the future, you will be able to compete abroad and win glory for the country!" Coach Zhou replied very officially.

"No." Zhang Guan shook his head. If he was really a seventeen-year-old young man, he might be fooled easily, but Zhang Guan knows that being an athlete is a very hard job, and he probably won't be able to get out of it for the rest of his life. score.

Seeing Zhang Guan's refusal, Coach Zhou immediately said: "I have a quota for recommendation to the Provincial Sports University. If you join the track and field team, this quota will be yours."

"Really?" Zhang Guan suddenly felt a little moved.

According to the original life trajectory, Zhang Guan finally passed the entrance examination of a local second-year university, studied sports management, and after graduation, he was admitted to the career establishment of the Sports Bureau, and lived his day. The leisurely life of trading stocks online and playing games at home at night. With Zhang Guan's academic performance, it is impossible for him to be admitted to a college, but now the recommendation quota for each college is a real benefit for Zhang Guan.

At this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly recalled the excitement of his parents when he was admitted to university. Although it was only the second book, he could still feel the pride of his parents. And if he could be recommended to go to a university, Zhang Guan felt that it might be a great gift for his parents, so Zhang Guan made a decision almost instantly.

"If you can really recommend me to the Provincial University, I will join." Zhang Guan said.

...

Back home, Zhang Guan couldn't wait to start researching the system in his mind. But to his disappointment, he couldn't click on the skill bar at all, because he was in the novice teaching mode, and the system function had not been activated. All he could do now was use the "sprint" skill.

Zhang Guan doesn't know what is the end of the novice teaching, but the next novice task is to participate in an official competition.

"Participate in an official competition? Where can I find an official competition? Isn't this just kidding me..." Zhang Guan looked at the task prompt with some helplessness. Obviously, if the novice task is not completed, the novice teaching cannot be carried out. Other energies of the system cannot be tapped.

...

Provincial sports team dormitory.

Zhang Guan, who just came to report, was sorting out his belongings, and a thin young man was lying on the bed next to him, holding a martial arts novel in his hand, chatting with Zhang Guan while reading it.

This thin man is called Wang Kai, and he is also an athlete of the track and field team. He focuses on the 1500-meter long-distance race and is also Zhang Guan's roommate.

At this moment, Wang Kai was lying on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a martial arts novel in one hand, clasping his feet with the other hand, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I said Zhang Guan, your luck is really good, I heard that, Old Chen wants to teach you personally!"

"Old Chen? Is that the old man in his sixties? Isn't he very powerful?" Zhang Guan said and piled the clothes he brought into the closet.

Wang Kai suddenly turned over and sat up, and said, "You are in this track and field team. I don't know if others can do it, but you must know Mr. Chen! Do you know who he is? He used to be the coach of our national track and field team. He has retired for a few years, and it was the leaders of the Provincial Sports Department who finally invited him to come here."

When Wang Kai said this, he found that Zhang Guan didn't react too much, and continued: "If you talk about Mr. Chen back then, he was the 'first person' in our country's track and field, and he was the fastest runner in the world."

"The fastest man in the world? Didn't that set a world record?" Zhang Guan smiled, and then said, "Brother Wang, I don't study much, so don't lie to me. What I know about our country's hundred In the event of rice, the Asian record was broken in the 1980s, but the world record has never been broken."

"The coach who led the team when breaking the Asian record was Mr. Chen." Wang Kai went on to say: "In the era of hand-time calculation, Mr. Chen once ran a time of 10 seconds, and this time was the fastest in the world at that time. , Mr. Chen tied the 100-meter world record at that time. Before Mr. Chen, only four people in the world had ever run out of 10 seconds. Mr. Chen was the fifth person to run to 10 seconds! Not Powerful?"

"It turned out to be him!" Zhang Guan nodded. Zhang Guan had heard about Chen Lao's deeds when he was young, but he didn't expect that he was "the fifth fastest man in the world" by the West. "It's the old man I saw a few days ago.

I only heard Wang Kai add: "Now there are many people in the National Track and Field Team and the General Administration of Sports of China who are disciples of Mr. Chen. For example, Coach Yu of the National Track and Field Team was once a teammate and student of Mr. Chen. If you can recommend it, there is absolutely no problem entering the national team."

...

On the second day, Zhang Guan did not start training directly, but conducted a series of physical tests. At the same time, the 100-meter test was conducted again, and Mr. Chen was completely at ease with the hand-timed score of 10.32 seconds.

In the afternoon, Mr. Chen frowned as he looked at the data in the physical test report. Judging from the physical test data alone, there is nothing outstanding about Zhang Guan. The data are far from professional athletes, and even amateur athletes are not as good.

"There is no advantage, this is simply the data of an ordinary person. It's strange, how can I run so fast with this kind of data." Chen veteran threw the physical test report aside: "Forget it, when I was running back then, how could I run so fast?" There are so many messy things, but you can’t still win prizes.”

...

Mr. Chen took a thick stack of manuscript paper in his hand, handed it to Zhang Guan, and said, "This is your training plan for the next month, let's have a look first."

Zhang Guan looked at this purely hand-written plan, which was accurate to every time of day, and he could feel that Mr. Chen spent a lot of energy writing this plan.

I only heard Mr. Chen continue to say: "I have analyzed your current situation in detail. Generally speaking, your current problem is the lack of professional training. Your starting is still at an amateur level, the reaction time of starting is very slow, and even the posture Not very standard, this will affect your strength in the starting stage; lack of control over the rhythm during the exercise, and there is no exercise technique at all; the other is lack of physical strength, there is a loss of strength in the last short section, which is extremely serious. Affected the speed of the sprint."

Zhang Guan nodded and said yes, Mr. Chen's analysis was very reasonable. He was a novice among amateur athletes, and he didn't have any sports skills to speak of. Only the last one slowed down because the effect of the skill "sprint" disappeared.

Mr. Chen went on to say: "As a professional athlete, the foundation must be solid. You are relatively young and have no skills at all. It is a good time to lay the foundation. So all training for you will start from scratch. In the next two In the first month, your main practice is starting. The starting posture should be corrected, and the starting reaction time should be faster. My initial goal is that after two months, your starting reaction time can be very stable within 0.3 seconds."

The smaller the range of movement, the faster the reaction. Generally, the reaction time for a slight movement such as moving the index finger is between 0.2 seconds and 0.3 seconds, while the reaction time for a large movement such as starting is longer.

The starting reaction time is affected by the person's training level and current state. The starting reaction time of a normal person is about 0.5 seconds to 1 second, which varies due to individual differences; the driver's emergency braking time in response to an emergency The reaction time is 0.4 seconds, which means that the reaction time for human beings to perform skilled movements is 0.4 seconds; and the reaction time of trained athletes will be even shorter. Taking professional sprinters as an example, their starting reaction time is 0.2 seconds. Within seconds, the time limit within 0.2 seconds is not enough to meet the standard once or twice or a few times, but a relatively stable value.

In international competitions, the starting reaction time of sprinters is usually around 0.15 seconds. If it can reach 0.14 seconds, it means that the starting reaction time is very successful, and if it exceeds 0.17 seconds, it means that the starting reaction time is too slow.

If you want to shorten the starting reaction time, you need to go through a lot of training to let the body and muscles remember the starting movement. This in itself requires a process and requires time to accumulate. For beginners, two months to improve the starting reaction by 0.1 seconds Timing, while not difficult, is not an easy task either.

Old Chen continued: "In September this year, the 15th Asian Athletics Championships will be held in the Philippines. I got the news that the General Administration of Sports has prepared about 50 places for the competition, but this has nothing to do with you. But at the beginning of July, that is, two months later, the trials for the Asian Athletics Championships will be held in Jinmen. This has something to do with you. The quota for the trials is relatively wide, and it is an opportunity for many young athletes to exercise. I am going to let you have a try to get familiar with the environment of the competition, and at the same time show your face so that everyone can get to know you. This is a rare opportunity, you have to grasp it well."

"Old Chen, is this trial a formal competition?" Zhang Guan asked expectantly.

Old Chen nodded: "Of course, the National Athletics Association will hold an official competition."

Zhang Guan suddenly felt excited, thinking in his heart that he really wanted something. The task of "participating in an official competition" in the system has been hanging there. Originally, Zhang Guan was still worrying about how to complete this task, but he didn't expect the opportunity of the competition to be just right. Deliver it to your door.
