just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 247 A group of people can represent an era

Yenching Training Center
track and field training base,

Yang Zuyao sat on the steps beside the field, staring blankly.

After the first round of training, he was a little tired, but he was already used to this kind of tiredness, and even if he didn't feel such full-body fatigue for a day during vacations or activities, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

He was more troubled, thinking about a lot of things in the past two days.He even reviewed his career as an athlete for more than ten years.He thought about a lot of things from that session just now, and thought of the past moments that made his heart throb.

Country, nation, honor, responsibility!
In the past, it was just a vague concept. At that time, he wanted to represent the country, but he didn't really understand what the meaning of representation was.

Later, when he was finally able to represent the country and gradually understood these things, he realized that representing is not that simple.He was just that insignificant one.It was also from then on that he quietly shouldered many of the responsibilities he thought he had.

He cares about his teammates, he is willing to consider every teammate, the team and the whole.When considering issues, I am always willing to approach them from a higher perspective.He has been in the national team for less than two years, and almost most athletes regard him as a "little big brother" in sprinting.

He always felt that this was the right way for him, and he was happy with it.But after meeting the coach, the coach taught him, enlightened him, and asked him to deal with things more clearly.

How to understand?He was a little unsure.But along the way, Yang Zuyao felt that he should be regarded as a bright mind.But this time, he was tangled again.

It's really like what many people say, people who think they are smart and can use their brains will always like to get entangled from time to time!Yang Zuyao couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Olympics are coming soon. He has won two A-marks and will soon be able to realize his dream and compete in the Olympics.This is nothing more than representing the country!The Universiade, World Youth Championship, World Championships, and Asian Championships, once represented the country, it is no longer just once or twice.But he has never felt like this before.The Olympics are really different...

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, just like a coach, he taught them with his level and knowledge, and worked hard to achieve their dreams and the dreams of the country.

The hot-blooded young man on the sidelines of the training field, the depressed young man who is full of talent but neglected because of his age and innate weakness, and him, and...

He has always known that the coach not only has a high level of coaching, but also a very high level of exercise. It goes without saying that he broke the national record in the 400 meters shortly after he recovered.Even in the 200 meters or even including the 100 meters, he believes that the coach is definitely not weaker than him.And the coach is also young, having just passed his 25th birthday, which is the beginning of the real peak.

Maybe if you run by yourself, the coach now has more honors, not to mention the benefits behind those honors.And definitely not as hard as it is now.Leading a group of them, teaching them desperately, and even helping others, he was able to force the team to give him a holiday, which shows how hard it is!But why don't you run away?

"One person can only represent a certain period of time, and a group of people can represent an era! China does not lack one or two geniuses, but what we lack is a group of people who lead the times..."

This is what the coach said when he occasionally asked about it shortly after he recovered.He always remembered, and he kind of understood what the coach meant.

Because the coach thought he could no longer compete, he chose to teach people, but when he could run again, he still chose to lead people.Moreover, he believes that he is only a 400-meter athlete because there is no one there. If there is a potential athlete and the coach releases his hand, the result will be very obvious.

His thought at one time was that what the coach did didn't seem to be right.But until the recent series of games, he discovered that his thinking was too simple!
In the Asian Championships, three national flags are raised high, that is Huaxia!In the indoor race, the 60-meter race, the top 5 had 3 Chinese people, and the two national flags were raised at the same time during the award ceremony, and the foreigners shouted that it was Huaxia.

He saw the true meaning of what coaching does.In front of our name, there is Huaxia first!

The World Championships ended, because of Zhao Lin, because of him, the foreign media and the domestic media were full of uproar. Many people marveled at the miracle of the world champion, and marveled at the emergence of No.10 within 1 seconds.But what about China?
The United States and Jamaica are powerful countries in track and field. They rely not on one or two people, but on an endless stream of one or two people. This is how they truly lead the times.

"The coach can choose to achieve the dream of the country and the dreams of more people, why can't I?!" After a few days, Yang Zuyao's heart became more and more determined.

"It's time to make my choice!" Standing up, Yang Zuyao looked into the training ground. After a quick glance, he went straight in one direction.

"Coach, I have something to do with you!"

Walking into the field, looking at the coach running towards him, Yang Zuyao said something.

After saying that, Yang Zuyao felt relieved, and the little entanglement disappeared, and things that he had not understood until now gradually became clear!

"Sometimes people really need to take a step according to their own hearts. Maybe this is what the coach means by knowing..."

……

Training base office area.

In the conference room on the third floor,
Before the meeting started, dozens of coaches from various sports from the track and field team got together in small groups, whispering their own words, and occasionally there were a few suppressed laughter.

Chen Guobin sat quietly in a corner, and Zhou Tong next to him spoke softly to him from time to time, and he only responded once or twice, and he was really not in the mood to talk now.

This is the first time he has participated in the coaching meeting of the national team. The participants are all the executive-level coaches of key athletes in various sports, or echelon head coaches like Zhou Tong.Thanks to Lin Mu and Zhu Kun's current performance, he was fortunate to be present as an unidentified coach.

This was a bit of affirmation for him. While he was a little happy in his heart, he also felt the weight of this affirmation.Zhu Kun performed well. He almost reached the A mark in the 200 meters this time, which is partly due to his contribution.But he knew that the larger share belonged to Lin Mu, and as for him...

Although Lin Mu had not approached him, Yuan Guohua had talked with him.Everyone now knows that Yuan Guohua is Lin Mu's right-hand man, and he has more trust from Lin Mu than his other deputy Liu Ren. More often than not, Yuan Guohua's actions also represent Lin Mu's will.

He could tell from Yuan Guohua's words that he was not very satisfied with his performance so far.The training seems to be poor, but the arrangement lacks pertinence and planning.

In short, it is basically qualified, but there is still a distance from the required goal.

"Coach Chen, there is still one month left. Take Zhu Kun to stay with us in Yanjing for training, or continue to go to Xinzhuang with Lin's guidance?" Sensing that Chen Guobin was not interested in the topic of small talk, Zhou Tong asked Zhu Kun's question.

"Oh~ stay in Yanjing, I reported to Director Lin before!" Chen Guobin replied in a daze.

The itinerary has been planned, and the athletes who will participate in the Olympics will be led by Yu Weili, the deputy head coach, to Shanghai Xinzhuang to officially start training.As for those who did not participate in the Olympics, they made their own arrangements, either to return to their registration place, or to stay in Yanjing.

Lin Mu's relay team is naturally going to Xinzhuang, but after thinking about it, he still reported to Lin Mu to stay in Yanjing and follow the World Youth Championship training team.The World Youth Championship is now an opportunity for his redemption, yes, redemption, in his opinion, that is the case.

"That's alright, let Zhu Kun and Ye Hua be our companions!" Zhou Tong was very happy. In his opinion, Zhu Kun is obviously the key point of this World Youth Championship.

"Hi~ In fact, if we can plan well last year, we can definitely do a relay event this time. Just follow the relay mode like yours in Huizhou..." Zhou Tong also felt a little regretful. He got up too fast, and many things were not planned.Otherwise, someone must be selected to fight for the relay. The importance of the relay event is self-evident.In track and field competitions, short-distance opening, relay finale, and table top, the weight of these events can be seen.

"Coach Chen..."

I was about to say something else, when Feng Yong's assistant walked into the meeting room, Zhou Tong also accepted the call, and sat upright, the meeting is about to start!

Holding the document in his hand, he gently put it on the main seat, and Feng Yong's assistant then said softly:
"Please sit down, coaches, the meeting will begin immediately!"

The large circular conference table was filled to capacity in a short while, leaving only the main seat and two seats on the left and right of the lower head.Looking at the empty seats, especially one of them.Many experienced old coaches couldn't help but feel a little dazed, which really made them feel as if they had passed away.

Seems like it's only been a year...

It didn't make them feel emotional for too long. A few minutes later, Feng Yong and Yu Weili walked in with Coach Hong in charge of the throwing event, Coach Lu in the jumping event, and Lin Mu, the head coach of the sprint relay. calm down.

Feng Yong went straight to the main seat, Yu Weili and Coach Hong sat on the left and right sides respectively, and Coach Lu followed and sat next to Coach Hong.

Walking to the seat, he put down some materials in his hand, and Lin Mu sat down calmly.

From the moment he entered the door, he felt that there were many vague eyes on him.He could understand the charm of those gazes even if he thought about it.Don't say that those people seem to have passed away, why not him.

Such meetings where almost all managers gather are rare in a year, and the track and field team only held two meetings last year.The first time, he sat in a corner and was assigned his athletes without his knowledge.

The second time, he was still in a corner, but at that time he already had the qualifications to make his own voice.

And a year later, he is now in the top 5 and can make his own suggestions on many decisions of the team!
It seemed that a strong gaze swept over from the side, and Lin Mu turned his head to look over.

What caught my eye was a friendly smile all over my face!

Sun Xing, the person who "pointed out the country" last year, was looking at Lin Mu with a friendly smile.

With a slight smile and a slight nod, Lin Mu looked away.

Since Zhou Wei, there has been no achievement, and even people who have focused most of their energy on camp development.A man whose faith and responsibility have been worn away by time.

"Cough cough ~ let's get started!" Feng Yong coughed twice and announced that the meeting has officially started!
"Today is the first official plenary meeting of this year. First of all, I will summarize the work of the previous period... In addition, the Olympic Games is coming soon. As the primary focus of this year's team, training, preparation, and competition, some things we have to discuss in advance Discuss..."

This is what it should mean, and it was roughly arranged as early as the end of last year.There were only a few small meetings at the beginning of the year, and most of them were for coordination of various projects.The plenary meeting that is usually held at the beginning of the year is scheduled for today.

Because this year is the year of the Olympics, all work will naturally be carried out around the Olympics. At this time, it happens to be the end of the trials, and basically the situation of each project has become clear.From this point on, the final training and preparations will officially enter the schedule.

Of course, there is still an old topic, how to participate, how to organize, who to send to participate...

"Director Yu..." With a few simple words to start, Feng Yong gestured to Yu Weili.

Yu Weili nodded and began to take over the chairing of the meeting.

Ten minutes later, the respective head coaches made speeches and reported some recent training situations of their key athletes.Of course, Lin Mu and the coach of his relay team are no exception.

When Yu Weili spoke again, the atmosphere instantly became solemn.

Lin Mu smiled slightly, it felt so familiar, it must have been the same last year.Because the next process is to discuss the contestants, which is more solemn than last year.

The Olympic Games is a grand ceremony in the world, and it is also the real core competition of the country. Athletes who enter the Olympic arena truly represent the country.They cannot help but take this honor and responsibility seriously.Lin Mu could imagine that some small exchanges of interests that might have occurred in the past would not be so easy at this time.

Yu Weili became more serious at this time and looked at Feng Yong, who nodded slightly.He had already communicated with Yu Weili about the general situation before, and already had an idea of ​​the standards and repetitions.

As long as the overall situation is not exceeded, Feng Yong will turn a blind eye to some situations.Just like in the sprint events of previous years, it doesn’t really matter who you send, so it doesn’t matter whose interests you take care of!
He saw Yu Weili's seriousness, and he also understood, in fact, he found it very interesting to think about it.Speaking of it, it was still a sprint, which made him a little unsure how to evaluate it.After working as the head coach for so many years, it seems that he and Yu Weili have a headache for sprinting every time before a big competition.But he doesn't want to have a headache now.

Let the newly promoted leader have a headache first, casually looking at Lin Mu's position, Feng Yong secretly smiled inwardly.

In fact, most of the events are still the same as usual, there is nothing to compete for, there are only a few people who can participate in the competition, and there is not much competition for the qualifications, and the places are directly reported.

From simple to difficult, Yu Weili spoke here, and the relevant team leader coach reported the name of the person, and the last one was summed up.There are only a few people who can compete for gold and medals in field events, and most of them are not controversial.

There is only one place to participate, but there is really not much difference in strength in normal times, obviously it is not so harmonious.So the noisy fight between you and me began!

For more than half an hour, there were only a few projects. All parties talked about achievements, gave examples, and presented facts.With some coordination from Yu Weili, it was almost settled.In the end, most of them were given to some older and more stable athletes.

Even if some people are dissatisfied, but the national honor is on their heads, they can only endure it.After all, they don't have the confidence to make a fuss when their strengths are similar.

After talking about the field race, it was time for track events, race walking, middle-distance running, and hurdles. The one-to-two-minute process ended quickly.The absence of Sun Pingren who took Liu Xiang to participate in the Grand Prix in Europe has no influence, and there is almost no controversy.

This is the final sprint event again.

"Next, for the sprint event, let's discuss it with the coaches. Old Sun, you should come first..." Yu Weili waved his hand. He was really tired just after he got off, and now he still has a headache.

At this time, the coaches of the various events who were fully seated had put aside all the previous disputes, the matter had been settled, and there was nothing to entangle with it.At this time, they all looked at the coaches of the sprint event with great interest.

Basically, most of them participated in the meetings of the past year, and many of them were frequent visitors to such meetings in previous years.They all know some things about sprinting now. After all, sprinting is completely different now, and it has long ceased to be a passer-by.

This understanding really made them feel amused.In previous years, the [-]-meter race was miserable, and it was often completely black.Occasionally, when there are bids, either all of them are B bids, or only one A bid can come out, so the quota will naturally be contested!Last year was another dispute, and it was resolved until another A standard was issued.

But this time, in their minds, they still have to fight, and last year's protagonist is even more important this year.

Many eyes glanced at the young man intentionally or unintentionally.To be honest, most coaches still admire it.Single-handedly entered the national team as a temporary worker, first suffered setbacks, and then rose all the way. After more than a year, the sprint event is now flourishing. It can be said that this person has contributed the most.Even bringing them along also benefits a lot.

And just for those core strength training methods in Lin Mu Nong, the technical research department and the technical research group of their team also conduct research from time to time.From it, after some extended analysis, some gains were obtained to some extent, which provided a lot of inspiration and help for their training.

As far as this is concerned, not many of them feel dissatisfied with sitting in that position now.The only thing there is almost envy and emotion.

Although I won't be jealous, it feels good to watch him relieve his headache and worry!

Standing up slowly, Sun Xing, who was named, cleared his throat and was about to speak.

"Coach Sun, I'm sorry, wait a minute!" At this time, Lin Mu suddenly interrupted, and asked Feng Yong for instructions: "President Feng, Director Yu, let me say a few words first, and it's also about the athletes!"

After getting the consent, Lin Mu stood up, gave Sun Xing an apologetic expression, and started his speech.

Just one sentence came out, which immediately surprised the coaches present!
