Run Out of My Life

Chapter 49: Running out of potential?

    The sky is still bright.

    It is already May and June. The temperature in Jianping is not low during the day, but it is still a little cool in the morning and evening.

    On the playground of Jianping Sports School, a figure in a tank top and shorts was running in circles like it was fished out of water.

    When Zheng Wei arrived at the playground, he saw a figure running in a circle from a distance. From the sweat soaked through his clothes, Zheng Wei could probably estimate how much training he had gone through.

    Let's not talk about the students who are still training in the sports school, even a graduate like him who left the sports institute for more than a year. If you want to sweat this way, at least a certain intensity of training can be forced come out.

    "Brother Wei, please come so early." Su Zu gasped and ran to Zheng Wei.

    Zheng Wei frowned and looked at Su Zu, then threw a bottle of light salt water to him, "You're a bit tough, your body can handle it."

     

    "I think you should take it easy, practice so hard, if you get injured, it will be troublesome."

    "It's okay, I can still bear this." Su Zu said indifferently.

    Zheng Wei shook his head, "You can handle it physically, but you should also pay attention to your cultural grades. Teacher Keren has already said that you are sleeping soundly in class now and don't listen to the class. If there is a chance, it’s better to sign up for a university, as athletes are a youth meal, and they have to be a long-term plan.”

    "Well, thank you brother Wei, I will pay attention." Su Zu nodded. After returning from the invitational tournament, he increased his training. The fatigue caused by high-intensity exercise made In the culture class, he was basically the same as the sports school students he had seen before. In the three or four classes in the morning, he basically slept on the table.

    "By the way, Wei Ge, when will Coach Zhuang come back?"

    "It's about a day or two, the coach training meeting organized by the province named him, Lao Xie also hopes that Coach Zhuang can be promoted to the first level. The words of the coaches are also good for the image of our sports school.”

    "Speaking of which, it has something to do with you that Coach Zhuang was able to complete this training. You performed well in the invitational tournament. I heard that Coach Zhuang was a mentor when he was an athlete. I really hope he will share with you. The experience of training young athletes."

    "Huh?" Su Zu didn't expect this, "What does this have to do with me?"

    Zheng Wei nodded and said: "Just think about how long it took you to enter the sports school, you came in December last year, and will participate in the competition in April this year. How much has your 100m performance improved in the past 4 months? It’s almost 1 second. Although it is mainly due to your personal talent, it can’t take away the credit of our coaching staff.” Speaking of the latter, Zheng Wei also Couldn't help laughing.

    "In fact, the training of young athletes has always been a big topic. Take our sprinting as an example, a boy with good athletic ability, if there is a good coach to guide the training, half a year and a year, from 14 seconds 13 seconds, it can be done within 12 seconds. But if you want to improve from 12 seconds to 11 seconds, it will depend on the talent of the athletes in the short term.”

    "Anyway, it started at 11 seconds, and it started to get stuck. Coach Zhuang talked to me, the first-level athletes are a watershed."

    "Well, you're right. Looking at your state now, we are also worried that your grades have grown too fast in the past few months, we are afraid that your upper limit will be reached too early, and then you will have to go from level 1. It will be difficult to advance to the national athlete level.”

    Su Zu knew that what Zheng Wei said was a normal situation. Although he understood his own situation and would not have such a problem for the time being, others did not believe it. At this time, the only thing you can do is to continuously improve your grades and speak with facts.

    "Come on, Viggo, it's time to start."

    Su Zu put the salt water in his hand aside. After the rest of the chat, his physical strength has recovered a lot, and he is ready to start the next stage of training.

    "I really owe you, this morning." Zheng Wei shook his head and accompanied Su Zu to the starting line.

      In fact, the two of them had practiced this before after Su Zu's training, but when they took it, they mainly focused on the starting movements and the points of exertion. But this invitational competition made Su Zu realize that there is a gap between him and the really good sprinters in the starting reaction.

    His relative advantage now is that he has a fast pace and can complete the acceleration faster, but if he lags behind in the starting reaction time, this advantage can easily be offset by others.

    Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the reaction time at the start. The reaction time of the top runners is within 0.2 seconds. Ordinary people have not undergone professional training, and the reaction time of 0.5 seconds or even 1 second is not unusual.

    After the last invitational match, Su Zu also asked coach Zhuang Tao to check his starting reaction time. After all, the invitational match has a full set of electronic test timing equipment. It turned out that his starting reaction time was between 0.3-0.4, which was not bad compared to ordinary people, but as a professional 100-meter sprinter, this was simply intolerable.

    …

    "I disagree!"

    A decisive voice sounded in the track and field training ground of the Ronghai Provincial Sports Team.

    Zhuang Tao looked angrily at this thin middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses in front of him. Go up and slap him hard.

    "Coach Zeng, you are a senior, and I respect you. But what do you think of the provincial sports team, and you casually say you want to add people in, how can I still work. You should know , My training plan is arranged, it is not a temporary one who can come. I want to ask, are you doing this in compliance with the regulations? I can't agree that you want this player of yours to join our sports team sprint team. " The middle-aged man wearing glasses looked thin, but he spoke in a loud and imposing manner.

    "The surnamed Shen, who do you say does not meet the regulations. The Ronghai Provincial Sports Team has the responsibility and obligation to train and deliver high-level sports talents for the country. This is hanging on the banner at the gate. Why don't we recommend someone to join the policy, but you can make it clear." Zhuang Taoyuan stared at him, looked down at the head coach of the provincial team sprint project who had just taken office, and asked sharply.

    "Xiao Zhuang!" Zeng Huizhen, who was standing beside her, frowned and stretched out her hand to hold the former disciple.

    She has worked in the provincial sports team for many years and knows much more than others. Although Shen Guoying, the head coach of the provincial sprint team, took office not long ago, the leader of the Provincial Sports Bureau paid a lot of money to invite him back to teach from abroad. The other party graduated from Springfield College, a famous sports university in the United States, and has coached in universities in Arizona, Washington and Minnesota, and has rich overseas coaching experience.

    It can be said that even the coaches with the national prefix are not necessarily better than this coach Shen Guoying in terms of coaching experience and talent training. If it is not necessary, Zeng Huizhen, an old man who has worked in the sports system for half his life, does not want to have a conflict with the other party.

    Zhuang Tao was pulled by Zeng Huizhen, snorted coldly, turned his head and stepped aside.

    Although he was so angry that the coach Shen, who came back from drinking foreign ink, opened up a training plan and kept his mouth shut and violated the rules, he was finally past the age when he would act on impulse.

    And this coach Shen will be so angry that it will start from yesterday.

    The provincial track and field association organized a work summary meeting for high-level track and field coaches in Ronghai province after the end of the invitational competition. , as a result, he was appalled by the coach Shen, who had returned from overseas.

    The two almost quarreled on the spot. Fortunately, the leaders of the Athletics Association who attended the meeting were there. Zhuang Tao also knew that his professionalism was not at the same level as the other party, so he could only sit down angrily. Listen to the other side discuss various "advanced experiences" abroad.

    If that's the case, Zhuang Tao thinks that although he is angry, he is not a narrow-minded person. The thing is that today, his mentor, after reading the personal information of Su Zu submitted by him, felt that he had great potential and deserved to be further cultivated and developed by the provincial team.

    The result is that now, he and Zeng Huizhen came to the provincial first team and proposed an invitation to Su Zu for a trial training, but Shen Guoying, the head coach of the track and field team, would not agree anyway. Open your mouth and shut your mouth, either the training plan is full, or the staff is too large and will not accept newcomers.

    He Zhuang Tao is selfish to hope that the team members he trains can achieve success, he followed Zhanguang to become famous, but which coach is not what the name thinks, he is also dedicated to training the country for the province Send outstanding talents.

    "Coach Shen, I have no doubt that you are an excellent coach." Zeng Huizhen's tone was calm, without any aggressive edge, "I recommend this athlete to you not because of my personal likes and dislikes, It's not because this coach Zhuang used to be a team member I took, but I was looking at the detailed information of the other party and the performance of the youth track and field invitational competition in the province a few days ago, based on my experience in sports training for more than 30 years. , This is a very potential player, worthy of our further training in our provincial team."

    Zeng Huizhen's words are well-founded. A sportsman who has devoted most of his life to sports, when he talks about this issue, he naturally has a strong self-confidence and bearing.

    "That's right, that's right." Zhuang Tao said angrily, "Coach Shen, if you said that we had a quarrel in the last meeting, I can apologize to you, But you can't delay the future of a great athlete because of personal factors."

    "Coach Zeng, I have already read the personal information you provided." Shen Guoying pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and hesitated for a while, "My personal opinion is still not suitable, like this I have seen players before, but the final achievements are limited."

    Shen Guoying said and nodded at Zhuang Tao, "I personally have different training concepts for Coach Zhuang, but I also admire the various explorations you have done for sports training. I don't agree with him entering the provincial team, nor is it our personal emotional factor, but from a practical point of view."

    "Coach Shen, I would like to ask, from what perspective do you think this player is not suitable? You have never met anyone, so why are you not offering a trial training opportunity?" Zhuang Tao It's one thing to understand how the other person works, but it doesn't mean he really agrees.

    "Analysis of big data." Shen Guoying said slowly, "I once did a data survey at Spring Academy and counted more than 10,000 track and field athletes in the United States in their elementary, middle and adult schools. One of the important data in the future performance shows that these athletes are the most outstanding part of their athletic ability before the age of fifteen, and their achievements in their respective special fields as adults are far from the height that people expect."

    "I believe that the two of you also understand the exercise physiology here. If you start high-intensity training too early, some athletes can enter the state and surpass their peers. When they matured early, their performance did not improve greatly. These are still many black and white players with very good sports talent, who generally grow and develop much earlier than the yellow race."

    "The player you two provided started professional training at the age of 15. There is no such problem, but his performance in recent months has improved too abnormally, far exceeding the average Level. This is not a good phenomenon. According to the data, before entering the sports school in 2001, the runner's score was 11.8 seconds, and in the last invitational competition, his sprint score reached the standard of 10.95 seconds. , This span is almost one second. It is not difficult to increase the sprint speed by 1 second in four months, but if the yellow race wants to increase from 12 seconds to 11 seconds, and it is still at the age of 15. At this stage, this improvement is not a good thing. It means that the player is entering a stage of rapid physical development, and high-intensity training should not be carried out at this stage." Shen Guoying described his theory at length, and then paused. said.

      I want players with growth potential, not those whose potential is running out, I don't know if you two can understand that."

    Hearing this, Zhuang Tao and Zeng Huizhen understood that this coach Shen may have been abroad for a long time. Whether it is the training of athletes or the selection of materials, he has his own set of concepts, although the two Everyone thinks that his statement is too far-fetched. Of course, good sports seedlings are cultivated from an early age. When it comes to black and white athletes, it is not the same as receiving training from a young age, but it cannot be said that the other party is wrong.

    The big basketball player who participated in the NBA draft this year has also heard before that in his initial training stage, the coach has always not allowed him to perform high-intensity training. One of the important factors is that he cannot affect his height.

    The upper limit of athlete's talent has always existed. Many athletes who have been trained in the early days can reach the level of second-level and first-level athletes in elementary school, but it is basically the same. stage, resulting in no more potential to be tapped in the follow-up.

    "However, since the two of you recommended, I am willing to meet this player and test it myself, but I can't guarantee that I can keep him for trial training."
