just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 76 The first stop outdoors,
The time has entered April, and the competitive sports events of the new year have officially kicked off.

Next year's Olympics, this year's World Championships, Asian Championships, National Championships, City Games.Except for the Asian Championships, all competitions have certain threshold requirements.

Therefore, starting from this month, all kinds of athletes will officially start competing in various arenas, and strive hard for these qualifications for these competitions!

Similarly, Lin Mu's team also set off!An old man, a coach, a team doctor and physical therapist, plus the only athlete. A group of 4 started the official battle.

There are no less than a hundred international and domestic competitions related to the competition this year.On Lin Mu's side, he was going to take those who were eligible to participate.Similarly, for some grand prix races, domestic points races will also not be missed.

Only by continuously running undisputed results in many competitions can he gain more voice, otherwise he may not even be able to qualify for the Asian Championships.

And Lin Mu was still very clear in his heart. If he remembered correctly, not long ago this year, Chen Jianhai ran out of the World Championship B mark.Finally, near the end of the year, he ran a national record of 10 seconds.This is a real contender.

If you can't run much faster than the B mark of 10 seconds 28 before this.The chances of participating in the World Championships may be hanging in the air.Chen Jianhai's status in the national team and Guangdong East is not comparable to that of Zhao Lin.There is only one place to participate, and [-]% of the time it will not be the turn of others.

Similarly, if in the second half of the year and before next year's Olympic Games, if you can't run the A mark, you will also not be eligible to participate in the Olympic Games.Because Chen Jianhai has already mentioned the standard of domestic competition to the A standard.Although the time and space are different, but Chen Jianhai's state is there, and Lin Mu doesn't think there will be an accident that he can't run like that.

The competition stipulates that if someone reaches the A standard, the country can send three athletes who have reached the A standard to participate.If you can't reach the A mark and the B mark, you can only participate in the competition by one person.Therefore, no matter from which point of view, for Lin Mu, leading Zhao Lin to run out of the A mark, or even higher, is the only way.

……

On April 4, Ningnan City, Western Guangxi Province.

In order to prepare for the competitions, but also to further connect with the world.Beginning this year, the National Athletic General Assembly has carried out a comprehensive reform of various domestic competitions, and track and field is the top priority.

After the reorganization of the National Athletics Grand Prix, there have been many changes in both the competition items and the number and quality of the participants.Reduce the number of events, increase the prize money, increase the threshold for athletes to participate, reduce the number of participants, and so on.

The first race will be in Ningnan.Due to time and place, many domestic players failed to participate in this battle as scheduled.

At the same time, the schedule is more compact, one race a day, and most of the sub-stations after that.

The team came to Ningnan one day earlier, and went straight to the competition site the next day after a night's rest.

The race schedule has already been obtained. In the one-day race, Zhao Lin's race is only 100 meters. The preliminaries in the morning and the final in the afternoon are relatively easy in terms of time.

In fact, Lin Mu knew better that this stop was due to changes in time and location.Most of the country's top athletes will not participate.This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhao Lin.

Although Lin Mu has great confidence in Zhao Lin's current strength, this is the first stop after all, and it is also Zhao Lin's first step in a formal competition.Being able to get a better ranking, or even first place, will be a great encouragement both financially and in terms of personal confidence and morale.

Athletes must have ideals and goals.But in the same way, athletes are also human beings, and they have to survive and eat and consume.We also need to accumulate for the future.Let’s be real, you can’t live without money.

Members of the national team, the salary is not impressive.Local teams, that's even more so.Most professional athletes, if they cannot get more bonuses and extra income, their living conditions are not optimistic, and even bleak after retirement.

And the staff who follow it, the same goes for their earnings.A coaching team, including Lin Mu, most of their income is also linked to the performance of the athletes.

This is also why, the top athletes in the team often have such a default rule, you divide this, I divide that.Because this is not only about grades, but also about life.

Generally, after athletes compete, get bonuses and pay individual taxes, the organizing association pays [-]%, the coaching team divides another [-]%, and the rest goes to individuals.Of course, it is not ruled out that a certain percentage can be reduced through negotiation.But it is obviously not what Zhao Lin can expect now.

In this way, regardless of Zhao Lin's strength in this match, even though he has the name of the national team, after all, he is now a nobody.This also gave great motivation to other players who came to participate in the competition.Without top players participating, they also saw more promise.

In the men's 15-meter race with only [-] participants, the athletes' morale is clearly high now.Most of the people who can come to participate are top [-]-meter athletes from powerful provinces.In the absence of domestic famous players, this is also one of the few opportunities for them to gain honor and benefits.

The 15-meter preliminaries start in the morning, [-] people are divided into two groups, and the top eight will advance to the final.The competition is easy, and for most of the top athletes in the provinces, the promotion may be equally easy.

But now, starting from the preliminaries, Zhao Lin started the race until Zhao Lin finished the race and returned to Lin Mu.During the whole time, Lin Mu's face remained gloomy, serious and silent.

Zhao Lin, who was already a little apprehensive, was silent at this moment.The entire team felt as if they were shrouded in a shadow.For the first time, they discovered that Lin Mu, who was always calm and kind, and smiled at others, also had such an aura.Everyone including Gu Lao could feel the depression at this moment.

Zhao Lin's final score was 10 seconds, third in the preliminaries group, and eighth in total to advance to the final.Originally, for Zhao Lin, who was running the race for the first time, the result was acceptable, and the others also thought it was acceptable.

Gu Lao looked carefully, he could feel that Zhao Lin should not have played at his true level, but he thought it might be because of nervousness that affected his state.Besides, if you can run this result without playing at your full level, then if you play at your full level, the result may be even better.For a rookie who has only been practicing for two months, it is really rare.

So he was smiling at first, and was going to praise and encourage Zhao Lin, but now he also restrained his smile, because he could see that Lin Mu was very unhappy now!

Lin Mu was very unhappy, not because of the result, but the result of 10 seconds was not too bad.Even if your grades are poor, it doesn't matter if you are at your true level.You can improve your attributes, you can improve your skills, there is always time to improve.

He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Lin's attitude.Because of the blessing of Lin Mu's status skills, Zhao Lin himself was not affected by any negative status, and he actually achieved such an effect.He was already dissatisfied from the start, and until the end, his dissatisfaction accumulated to a peak.

After a few minutes of silence, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.Just when Mr. Gu was about to come out to say something to calm down, Lin Mu spoke, his tone was very flat, but it made people feel a little chill.

"Zhao Lin, tell me, what do you think?!"

It was the first time that Zhao Lin felt that the coach had such a terrifying side. He didn't speak harsh words, but it made his heart tremble.He knew that this time he ran badly, and he was still annoyed at first, but he was actually a little apprehensive when he returned to the coach.It's just that he didn't expect the coach to have such a big reaction.

"Coach...I...I didn't run well!"

"Well, you know that you didn't run well. Yes, you are somewhat self-aware. Then tell me, why didn't you run well? Is it because I didn't teach you my skills, or are your usual training sessions that make you want to vomit in vain? Hmm. ?”

"Coach, I..." Zhao Lin felt the chill in those words more and more.He finally knew the reason why the coach had such a big reaction!What annoys the coach is his mentality, his attitude towards the game.

Today he was in the second group. Before he went on stage, he observed and found that there were really no strong players.Although he hadn't been in contact with sprinting for a long time, he could already see those technical movements clearly.The change of speed has a clearer judgment.So I didn't care much about it unconsciously.

"The start is careless, do you know how much? 0.3 or even almost 0.4! What are you? This is the effect you want to show in these days of training? The junior high school students I have taught are also better than you!"

"Accelerate casually, the movement looks really stretched, is that stretched? I thought you were shopping for a walk? Later, you lifted your spirits. You are about to be eliminated, right? Huh?"

"This is what you said you want? This is the power of China you want to show people?!"

Lin Mu's voice changed from flat, to serious, and now to stern, and the volume has become higher and higher.

There were not many spectators in the huge stadium, and the sparse cheering could not cover up the voice of Lin Mu, which attracted the attention of many people around.He also punched Zhao Lin in the heart.

"Bullshit!" Lin Mu sternly shouted: "Struggle, forge ahead, perseverance, perseverance, we are Chinese sports people, we are Chinese track and field people. Although we have been losing, losing games, losing results. But we have never lost our attitude , let alone lose ambition! Our blood has never been cold, and it will never be cold in the future!"

"Just like you are now, don't say that you didn't run out of the competition. Even if you ran out, the team will allow you to participate! I will also ask the team to let you go home! You can't represent Huaxia. , we don't need such Chinese power!"

"I told you that we want to reach the top of the country, we want to compete with Chen Jianhai, Shen Bao, and Yin Hanzhao. We want to compare with all the top athletes in China. Is performance important? It is important, but we need attitude more. How can you reassure us, the team, and even the country if you are like this now?"

The more Lin Mu spoke, the more intense it became. Until then, he tried his best to calm down, and then asked seriously, "Zhao Lin, I'm going to ask you now, and it's also the last time!"

Zhao Lin, who had kept his head down, raised his head stiffly, and gave Lin Mu a weak look.The coach's eyes were burning, which made him want to dodge.

"Can you still remember what you once said? Can you still treat the game with the right attitude, live up to your own training efforts, and live up to the country's training for you? Can you tell me clearly now?"

Lin Mu's eyes were sharp and he looked at Zhao Lin quietly.He needs him to have this attitude and awareness from the beginning.What happened to Shen Huan made him reflect.Many times, many things must be nipped in the bud!

"Yes! Coach, I can!" Although Zhao Lin was still a little trembling in his heart, his answer at this moment was decisive and without hesitation!
Staring at Zhao Lin closely, Zhao Lin's eyes were no longer timid at this moment.Just like the first time I met him, there was a bit of stubbornness in his blood.

After a few seconds, Lin Mu smiled softly, and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed. The original solemnity and depression slowly dissipated!
