Test, train, day after day.

An Yi took the trouble to do his best every time the coaching staff of the national team put forward new requirements, and soon these men and women who were about the same age as his father and mother accepted him from the mouth to the heart .

During the two weeks and [-] days of the national team's exchange and study, the several coaches represented by his father can be said to have studied his physical fitness very thoroughly.Combining with, referring to, and the daily training data provided by Joyce, he made an overall plan for his future training direction.

In this regard, An Yi said, of course listen to the right ones, and ignore the wrong ones, whoever made him carry a system master on his back is so awesome.

Because of the wrong training direction, things like detours during the training process will absolutely never happen to him.And not only that, after combining the three-party data and comparing with each other, the newly revised training plan is earth-shaking compared with the previous ones, and the effect is surprisingly good.At least the effect of improving the weak link of his technical level can be said to be immediate.

"...Louise, pay attention to the same amount of footwork in both directions as you slide footwork."

"Inward hook step, outer hook step, twirling step, when used continuously, the change of body direction must be crisp, brisk, efficient, and precise. In addition, if possible, I suggest that you include At least six turns, and as many types of footwork as possible. And each movement should not be repeated more than twice, and it is best to cooperate with the body language of the upper body when it is completed."

On the ice rink, as the Canadian National Youth Championship in July is approaching, the head coach James Joyce put more energy into practicing the two sets of participating programs and preparing for the national competition.

But even so, he still did not ignore the other two disciples.While teaching Cindy Celaya's jumping skills, he also paid attention to the footwork training of the young disciple Louis Watts. Although he seldom expressed his opinions, every time he made a sound, he could hit it accurately. The young disciple was practicing of the flaws.

Regarding his advice, An Yi not only obeyed, but also referred to the information and materials given by the brain system, and had to admire the vision and coaching level of the head coach Joyce.

When he himself said these words, he probably didn't know that these opinions he said almost coincided with the definition of the fourth-level sequential steps by the scoring referees in the later GOE era.

Now he makes such a request, although it seems a bit picky and picky.But once you have practiced this level of footwork connection, wait a few years for the GOE era to come.His disciples are at least one or two levels ahead of other players in terms of step-by-step difficulty.

With these thoughts in his mind, he stopped on the ice and watched Johnny sliding for a while, and after five or six minutes, An Yi continued to practice.

Refer to the sub-score table given by the system for the achievement task 'the first short program' some time ago.In addition to cooperating with the team of the national team in the recent period, he has integrated various data and suggestions, improved the movement arrangement of his short program, and strengthened his difficulty in rotation and step sequence.

Take spin as an example, except for the Bellman joint spin, which is more difficult for male players.In the other two sets of rotations, he added more cycles, more movement changes, and at least three basic rotation postures, trying to make the rotations as close as possible to the fourth level according to the standards given by the system.

In terms of follow-up steps, in addition to similar to Joyce's suggestion before, he also changed the straight-line follow-up steps into serpentine follow-up steps, pursuing the ice rink coverage area in the footwork stage to the greatest extent.

In addition, he took the trouble to modify the body coordination in the short program skating over and over again.In order to achieve the combination of rigidity and softness, every movement is in line with the purpose of the music atmosphere.

He knows that making these changes is very difficult and troublesome, and it does not meet the difficulty requirements that should be in his age group.But please forgive him, who made him more pursuing?Think of it as laying a solid foundation for entering the adult group and entering the GOE era in the future.

Blame it on the scoring referees in this era. The requirements for technical movements are many types and exquisite choreography, rather than the ultimate difficulty of jumping.Otherwise, Joyce would not have stopped him before, adding a second quadruple jump to the program.

Pedal, slide.

An Yi slid out with the front outer edge of his left foot, turned suddenly while walking, and after changing his left foot, the inner edge slid backwards in a counterclockwise arc, and the skate under his feet drew a '[-]'-shaped trajectory on the ice.

Immediately after changing the foot and turning the body, make a series of steps along the sliding track of the right foot skate, front outer edge, rear outer edge, and front outer edge with one foot changing direction, and use the inside and outside of the blade without changing the inside hook step.

Immediately after that, switch to the left foot to land on the ice, take off with the right foot and swing the leg, and then perform an Axel double jump. When the ice falls and slides out, quickly complete a loop with one foot, and the blade of the ice skate under the foot keeps sliding out. With the blade unchanged, it flexibly rotates 360 degrees in a large arc, forming a small ring.

Speeding up and continuing, An Yi put forward higher and higher demands on himself. The ice skates under his feet made footwork one by one, rotating his body, changing feet to slide, and connecting movements with blade-toothed ice jumps. He danced his body and tried to combine more types of steps. The method changes and integrates into one's own subsequent steps.

The degree of concentration is simply amazing, as if his body does not feel tired at all, he has been doing this training for more than two hours, one time, two times, three times, four times.It wasn't until the head coach James Joyce finished the intensive class for Johnny and summoned the three disciples together that he woke up from the state of distraction.

"Very well, boys and girls, I am very satisfied with your training status during the recent period."

At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Joyce finished today's training session and looked at the three disciples in front of him with gratified and appreciative eyes.

"Johnny, the time for the National Youth Championship is coming soon. Continue to familiarize yourself with your two sets of programs, read and understand music. You are still somewhat lacking in expressiveness."

"Cindy, you will continue to practice jumping in the next time, and you must work hard to learn all six triple axel jumps. Only in this way, when you participate in the competition, you will not be deducted by the referee. It is very important whether the movement skills are comprehensive. To a large extent, it can affect the performance of the skaters after they finish skating, especially in the women's single free skating, which is more obvious."

One after the other, James Joyce finished commenting on the two slightly older disciples respectively. James Joyce's voice paused, and finally turned his attention to the last one who was under 14 years old, but he had already passed in terms of difficulty and technique. Disciple far away.

He stood here, just looking at him quietly, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.Tell him to strengthen his practice and not be lazy?God knows the boy never bothered him in this matter.

What should I say to him?

In just a few months, his little disciple should go back to his father's homeland.Don't you worry?Not disappointed?How can it be!How can it be? !

In fact, in his heart, he has been deliberately avoiding all the things that happened in the recent period.The most important thing is the decision made by this little disciple.

"...Louis, I have always been very reassuring about you, and you have always been very smart, knowing what you need to work hard to strengthen."

The voice was dry and hoarse, Joyce stopped and cleared his throat, adjusted his complicated mood of loss, looked at the boy in front of him and smiled.

"Your modified short program is quite perfect in my opinion. You only need to practice more to guarantee your results. But don't forget that you need another long program free skating to participate in the competition. Participating in the competition, I think it's time to choose the music, design the movements, and start programming your first free skating program."

Having said that, he stretched out his right hand, placed it on top of An Yi's head, and gently stroked his hair. He continued speaking slowly and sincerely.

"Boy, the reason I say this is not that I don't trust Ann's level of coaching. Just want to tell you that this is your show, your work, the career you are about to start, the most important weapon. .”

"Other people's opinions and suggestions are important, but you must have ideas and feelings about the music you set and the program you arrange. If you don't even have these, even if you successfully slid out the entire program, there is What’s left is just empty performances, sluggish and rigid technical executions, and failed performances that hardly resonate with the audience and referees.”

Inside and outside the words, full of love and care.

Although the head coach James Joyce didn't say something clearly, how could An Yi, as someone who had experienced it, not understand it.

He appreciates him, really appreciates it!

Whether it is technical guidance, or planning for growth and career.It can be said that as a head coach, Joyce has done everything he needs to do, what he doesn't need to do, everything he can think of.

As a figure skating coach, no one is more competent than him, and no one is more considerate of his disciples than him.The time to return to China is almost at hand, and to be honest, he really feels a little bit reluctant.

But think again!Considering his future, dreams, and environment, it is obviously better to go back than to stay.The reason why Joyce didn't persuade him again should have thought of this.

Suppressing the violent emotions that suddenly surged up in his heart, An Yi secretly rejoiced while feeling emotional. Fortunately, their fate as teachers and students would not be completely severed because of his return to China this time.

Every year when the old season ends and the preparation time for the new season begins, he will still come back here to train for a month or two.Continue to accept his guidance, continue this master-student relationship, and make up for the deficiencies found in the last season by the way.
