Chapter 236 Do You Understand?
2004/3/7

Budapest, Hungary

As night fell, the hustle and bustle of the day ended, and the whole city slowly quieted down!

The neon lights of the city are lit up one after another, dotted with stars.The quiet ancient city, the meandering Danube River, the criss-crossing roads and bridges, the blend of civilization and history, set off the whole picture extremely beautifully.Looking down from a high altitude, it is refreshing to look at!
However, people with a lot of thoughts, sometimes watching the beautiful scenery, the mood will not necessarily become comfortable.

The resident hotel of the Huaxia delegation,

In a room on the fifth floor, Yang Zuyao looked at the night view of the city through the glass at this moment, feeling a little depressed.

The indoor competition ended the last day of the competition. Today, there are only two events involving Chinese athletes, the women's pole vault and the men's 200 meters.

Because of the breakthrough in the previous two days, and because of the encouragement of the spirit of continuous surpassing, the morale of the whole delegation has been high until today.I also have great expectations for the last day of the game.Everyone is looking forward to the perfect ending of this competition!

Everyone also has reasons to look forward to. These are two items that had been expected before the game.

However, the women's pole vault, who once led the world and urgently needs to rebuild its glory, is known as another world-class player Gao Yingshu, facing Isinbayeva's supremacy, the strength of Russia and the United States, and the excellence of many other players. play.In the end, she failed to withstand the pressure, and failed to succeed in three attempts of 4 seconds, and was blocked from the final. This result was more than 30 centimeters worse than her Asian record.

Gao Yingshu's defeat is disappointing and regrettable. What about Yang Zuyao, who is also hoped for?
"What a toss! What a failure!"

Withdrawing his gaze, lying softly on the sofa, Yang Zuyao sighed with a wry smile.

Looking at the luxurious room he lived in, he felt even more depressed!

He won a bronze medal. In fact, the members of the delegation, including several leaders, were quite satisfied with the result and in a good mood. After all, it was also a medal, and it was a sprint event that had always been monopolized by European and American athletes. But it's hard to imagine, the real situation is very precious!

But in fact, Yang Zuyao knew that he had lost, a failure.

The champion scored 20 seconds, the runner-up was 87 seconds, and he was 20 seconds.For 89 meters, this gap is not too big.Losing may also make people feel more regretful.

But for him, it was not a pity, but a tragedy.As early as February, he had already run 20 seconds.In the current situation, it's not that he lost a game, the important thing is that he lost to his former self.

In the eyes of most sports people, performance fluctuations are normal, and there are many places where performance can be determined by state and physical strength. No matter how good an athlete is, it is impossible to always run out of personal good state.

But he knows that the real reason is not the ups and downs of state and physical strength, but that he has taken too many detours in technology and running-in.After some twists and turns, it proved once again that the training planned by the coach was the most suitable.

A month or two was wasted, thinking of this, Yang Zuyao felt a little annoyed.At the same time, he suddenly felt a little complicated about the coach.While he was grateful, he even hoped that the coach could be rougher... If he was a little bit emotional at first, the coach would stop him. He believed that he would strictly enforce it, but the coach just didn't. After all...

"dududu~"

"dududu~"

A knock on the door interrupted Yang Zuyao's thoughts, and he got up and went to open the door.

"Teach...coach..." As soon as the door opened, Lin Mu's figure appeared in front of him.

"Well, let's go in, let's talk!" Lin Mu nodded slightly, then turned his head behind him, "Reporter Dong, don't follow me. I won't forget what the leader told me! I want to talk to my athletes first. It won't be long, we will..."

Lin Mu was a little helpless, and had been following since he returned to the station. They said that the CCTV reporter had a lot of cards, but why did this... If it was like an ordinary interview, you ask me to answer, and you finish with a few sentences, then just deal with it.

However, in this posture, even if there is no audio recording or video recording, it is obviously not intended to just say a few words and finish the matter.Now that the leader has explained it, let's do the interview.It's just that when he comes back to the station, there are few coaches, and there are always some arrangements. What's more, he also needs to communicate with the athletes.

"That won't work, Director Lin, the leader has already said that the task must be completed today. If you want to talk to the athletes, I will sit next to you and we will talk after you finish your work. I am not used to going to bed early at night...Anyway, today Before the interview is over, I will definitely follow you wherever you go...

I have professionalism. What you say to athletes is nothing more than technology and competition. Without your permission, I will not reveal a word.We CCTV reporters don’t rely on these gossip laces to make a living…”

"Okay!" Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Mu didn't have the time to think about the qualities in her mouth and the arrogance in her words. Anyway, it was just a mission, and he didn't have any gossip. He just wanted to talk to Yang Zuyao.

After entering the house, Lin Mu really ignored her and went to sit on the sofa by the window.After Yang Zuyao gave Dong Na a place to sit on the other side, he also sat next to the coach.

Looking at the two masters and apprentices not far away, Dongna found it quite interesting.

Although they hadn't spoken for a minute or two, she seemed to feel a breath of breath.It made Yang Zuyao, who was a little weak and timid, relax slowly.

He is really a very interesting coach. He is young, but he is really aura in front of the athletes. This does not seem to be obtained by status or harsh words.And what's rare is that athletes don't seem to be afraid of him, but they look so "weak" in front of him.

This is a sprint champion of the World Championships, even if the weight is not full, but the status of the world champion is real.She has never encountered the state of the other world champion in front of this director Lin, but from the occasional sentence or two of Liu Xiang with a little disdain, it is not difficult to hear that it is not too different from Yang Zuyao's situation. , and even more "weak" points.

She is beyond imagination!Even Liu Xiang's performance is not comparable to theirs at present, but after a few years, in the process of continuous improvement in level and performance, she also discovered that Liu Xiang's identity and mentality in front of coach Sun Ping are quietly happening. Variety.

Before, she felt that this was normal. It seemed to be the case with the top athletes she usually saw, and it seemed commonplace that she even surpassed the coach in the end.

But at this moment, she had some thoughts in her mind...

While she was thinking, the conversation between the two masters and apprentices started, which interrupted her thoughts.She thought she was talking about some technical matters, so she was going to listen casually, but she felt something was wrong after listening to it, which made her interested.

Even though she knew that they didn't pay attention to her, she still looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, she quietly put her hand into the bag she was carrying!
"Have you thought about it a lot? Did you come up with something?" With a slight smile, Lin Mu broke the silence with a soft sentence.

"Well, coach, I think I've failed quite a bit, and the failure is because I'm a mediocre..."

"Haha~ What's the failure? If you go back to your country and say it outside, and let others hear it, how will athletes who don't get results deal with themselves? Ordinary people will even think you're hypocritical!"

Lin Mu laughed, and his tone seemed very relaxed, "Okay! Let's talk in private. It can be more realistic. For athletes, they can't run at their own level and lose the game. It's really a bit..."

"But what did you think about in the failure? You don't want to tell me that you had some thoughts before, and I have been with you for a while, right?"

"Coach... how can I say you? It's me..." Seeing the coach's serious face, Yang Zuyao suddenly became nervous and explained quickly.

He waved his hand and interrupted Yang Zuyao's words, "I watched today's game carefully, and I'm generally satisfied after watching it. It's not about your results or your technical moves. You know it yourself. The technical movements are almost the same as what I made for you two months ago. And you really don't get used to it well..."

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to criticize you! Go and serve me a glass of water. Well, go and pour a glass for Reporter Dong too!" Lin Mu said with a smile while looking at Dong Na who was sitting quietly on the other side with his head tilted. : "Reporter Dong, in fact, you can find a place to rest for a while, and it will be over in a while..."

"No, I'll just sit and not bother you! Also, what I just said was very serious, I must follow you today...Director Lin, it seems that you are not talking about technical secrets, so it doesn't matter if I hear it, right? "

Dong Na curled her lips slightly. She felt that there were many things worth digging out in the conversation between Lin Mu and Yang Zuyao today.Maybe it can bring her a bad harvest. How can it be possible to drive her away! ?
"It's up to you!" Lin Mu took the water glass handed by Yang Zuyao, stopped looking at Dongna, and waited for Yang Zuyao to sit down again. Then Lin Mu continued: "Well, I am satisfied with it, but looking at you now, you are a little dissatisfied. confirmed!"

"You know, the 100 meters and 200 meters I learned after I retired last time, and then I brought students a lot of opportunities to integrate knowledge, and then I came to the national team after the opportunity to bring you a few.

Xiao Shen, Xiao Zhao, and you, I have been groping forward in the process of leading you, regardless of whether my training methods are scientific and reasonable, but at least they are summed up through repeated practice and exploration...

Every increase in strength, every breakthrough in stride frequency, and every adjustment in stride length require corresponding changes in many technical details.How to change?It needs to be decided according to the physical fitness of the body. In the final analysis, technology is just a means to exert the body.Can fully exert the maximum of the current state of the body, that is excellent technology, no matter whether he is advanced or not! "

Yang Zuyao nodded thoughtfully, and was about to speak when Lin Mu stopped him again.

"Wait for me to finish first, and then you tell me clearly..."

"Well, people in the national team jokingly call me the sharp eye, not that I really have the ability of Monkey King. It is deduced through a series of data and based on the real-time performance of the body.

You can use quality associations and physical characteristics to deduce the needs of technology, and in turn, you can also use technology to deduce the needs of the body.These are also the two directions of general coach training. Of course, I chose the former one, but this does not mean that the latter one is not advisable.

Speaking of which, do you understand?What is the purpose of my tossing with you for more than a month? "

"Coach, I understand! Do you want me to go through the training plan you made, and then through analysis, according to my own body feelings, to familiarize me with how to maximize my body?" Yang Zuyao replied cautiously.

This was the intention he had felt from the coach to analyze with him before, but he still didn't understand it at the same time.Seeing what the coach said just now, he was even more sure.Knowing what it is, knowing why it is, the coach seems to be deliberately cultivating his awareness.

Although he didn't understand why the coach trained him this way, it didn't prevent him from being moved. He also worked hard to do it, just not wanting to disappoint the coach.

"Not bad! Well, let me ask you now, how much do you understand after more than a month and today's competition?"

"I, I think, what you did before is more suitable for me to play now, so..."

"Then do you understand why it is suitable? If you are asked to make a partial targeted adjustment next time, do you have the confidence to adjust it properly?"

"I...I think, if it's a small-scale adjustment, and some competition and training verification and running-in, I should be able to do it!" Yang Zuyao really understood, and the look in his eyes suddenly became brighter, "Thank you, coach ,I see!"

"Hehe, well, it seems that you really understand! Then do you still think it is a failure?

One or two months does not seem short, but it is not too long for your future career, and it is only a small period for your future life.You're only 23 years old, and you still have 5 to 10 years of career time, even at worst.

Moreover, you still have room to grow in all aspects of your body, and you need to adjust some methods and methods through these analyzes from time to time..."

"Coach, aren't you here? No matter how good I am, I can't compare with you!" Yang Zuyao suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Teacher... Coach, are you planning to take me with you? "

"Hehe, what are you thinking? I'm your head coach, the head coach of the relay team, and you can't get out of my control!"

"However, starting from this year, it's true that I can't be with you all the time! Well, it's also your next plan!"

"After we return to China tomorrow, we will train for a period of time, so that you can consolidate and consolidate. After the domestic competition starts, you will only participate in one station at most. After that, you will basically be floating abroad before the Olympic trials. I will let Coach Yuan accompany you and give you some guidance. As for after the trials, I will go all out for the relay event..."

"Coach, I..." Yang Zuyao muttered, he was a little bit reluctant.Although he is also looking forward to foreign competitions, such as Grand Prix, Golden League, etc., he has always wanted to go.He is also eligible this year!
But if it's growth and progress, he thinks the fastest is to be around the coach, isn't Zhao Lin an example.From whiteboard to world champion, almost inseparable, and he was the same before.

"You are different from Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zhu!" Lin Mu could see what Yang Zuyao meant, and shook his head with a smile, "You are considered a quasi-top player now, but you are far from the top group in the world. There is still some distance. Therefore, while strengthening the body, you now need to strengthen your consciousness, which cannot be achieved through hard training.

As for them, the time they have been exposed to track and field is too short. For them, at this stage, competitions are just a means to hone their skills and increase their field experience.Training, learning, and strengthening the reserves are more important. At a certain point in the future, I will also let them out...

Moreover, it's not that you don't want to return to your country, you must come back once in a while, and I will take you to tidy up at that time, so that it will help you improve!

People say that coaches and athletes complement each other, but in my opinion, coaches should be a real mentor to athletes.Teaching skills, as it should be.But it seems that when giving a man a fish, he should teach a man how to fish...

Athletes will always retire one day. After retiring, if they choose to be a coach, with these accumulations, they can quickly get started.What I think is that if a qualified athlete chooses to continue to be a coach, he should not be like many coaches in the past, only after a certain age can he be independent!Even if you don't do sports anymore, the truth is the same...

For example, you, although it is still early to retire, but there will always be that day.What I can do is to teach you everything I know, and what you need to do is to deepen your learning through game after game.Until one day, I can go one step further on my foundation!
I don't want the athletes under me to leave only the memories of those credit books after they leave the post of athletes in the future.If I have to start from scratch even to do something, it is my failure as a coach!

Xiao Yang, don't I get old and can't work anymore, why do you still want me to come out to help you as a consultant? "

Yang Zuyao listened, and the more he listened, the more he felt. What the coach said sounded hypocritical, but he knew that the coach was always practicing.

"Coach, you are only two years older than me. When you are old, I am almost too old!" After hearing the last sentence, Yang Zuyao couldn't hold back his complaints.

"Uh~" Lin Mu was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words, as if he was not much older than them.

"In short, that's what it means. Well, I won't tell you anymore. Reporter Dong is also waiting impatiently!"

Standing up and waving his hands, everything that should be said has been said, Lin Mu doesn't want to talk about these age issues anymore.

"Coach, I'll send you~"

"No, go to bed early!"

Even though he said he didn't need to deliver it, how could Yang Zuyao be able to sit still, he still delivered it to the door.

"Are you young already, have you made a further improvement on your foundation? Is there anyone who doesn't know in the future, but our generation may be very young!"

Watching the coach walk away, Yang Zuyao couldn't help muttering again.
