After quitting sports, I became a chef

The track and field national team returned home with great honor this time, whether it is the general team or the field management center, they are very generous in the awards for the entire team and individuals.

In the words of Wang Zhengsheng, Director of the Field Management Center: To enable soldiers to fight well, they must not be made to suffer hardships, get prizes, or be poor.

All in all, the field management center takes good care of the athletes' welfare and other items. Even the brand advertisers come to the door to find athletes to shoot advertisements. The lowest level in the project center, the commission for athletes is only 10%.

This time, after the athletes returned to China, they first received a wave of awards from the Sports Federation, and then layers of rewards from the Field Management Center and the national team. Relevant units in provinces and cities also awarded different rewards to the players, including additional sponsorship awards from companies in the cities where some athletes belong.

After all, the athletes of the track and field team can be regarded as a double harvest of honor and money.

In the past few days when he just returned to China, Su Bai did not pressure them to give too much training. The main thing to consider was the recovery of Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen, who were somewhat overloaded in physical fitness for several consecutive days. The state of training is quite relaxed.

Qiu Wen happily calculated with Su Bai the rewards he got in the past few days, and then vowed to play harder next time.

Su Bai looked at Qiu Wen's stupid look, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "What? The reason for competing harder is to get more prize money?"

Qiu Wen's expression changed immediately, and he raised his head and stood upright in salute: "No, no, of course it is for the honor of the motherland!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Su Bai, Zhang Ziyi who was beside him smiled and slapped him on the back of the neck: "Okay, it's not shameful for the bonus, just remember to win glory for the country."

Seeing Qiu Wen's appearance, Su Bai also laughed and shook his head: "Okay, just remember to train well and compete well. As for the others, they are all from the national team. No one will treat us badly. Just put your mind elsewhere."

Qiu Wen blinked, and immediately nodded with a smirk: "Of course not. If I dare to patronize the money and not train well, let alone others, my grandfather will be the first to drag me out of ten miles with a walking stick!"

Qiu Wen's grandfather is the old coach of the provincial track and field team. Although Qiu Wen has now joined the national team, whenever he has time, he will still make phone and video calls with his grandfather, and report his training experience to the old man, just like he said Well, if he really dares to look at money, his grandfather will be the first to deal with him.

Of course Su Bai also understands this, and he also knows that the athletes in the team don't have such thoughts, but as the track and field team gradually receives more and more attention, after that, there may be more or less money temptations appearing in Beside the track and field team members.

At this moment, by beating Qiu Wen, he also expressed his attitude to the other players in the team, hoping that the players in the team could also keep their hearts.

Su Bai glanced at Qiu Wen, nodded to him, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's train hard."

The movement between Su Bai and Qiu Wen was of course seen by other players around. Su Bai didn't hide what he meant, and the players around him knew it well.

In fact, to be honest, Su Bai has the most relaxed restrictions on them in this aspect among the coaches of the national team. In other teams, once the players become a little famous, the coach will start to control them. It should be firmer.

The main reason is that I am afraid. In the sports circle, because of commercialization and other reasons, there are even some players who have already achieved better results, and they are constantly being surrounded by commercial circles. talent.

Money is not a bad thing, but for some athletes, when they encounter performance bottlenecks, if they know in their hearts that there is still a retreat that can earn both fame and fortune without working so hard, it may kill the slightest help to them. The determination to grow up.

Everyone has indeed used this reward to make some irrelevant jokes these days. After hearing Su Bai's invisible beating, everyone calmed down and withdrew their thoughts from the previous achievements and awards. come out.

There is a chance to get rewards in every game, but if you lose your temper, it will not be so easy to reunite.

Seeing the players on the training ground straighten out their loose state, Su Bai felt slightly relieved and rubbed his forehead.

The longer the time with these players, the various problems that need to be faced, from training, life to the psychological level of the players, all aspects need to be considered as a coach. If you want to be a good coach, It is really a very difficult thing.

After finishing the side talk with the players in the team by beating Qiu Wenye, Su Bai suddenly received a call from Pei Jinan, asking him to go to the office.

So Su Bai handed over to Wang Ting and Zheng Xingguo the task of keeping an eye on the players' training, and went to Pei Jin'an's office by himself.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the office, he saw Liao Jie, the deputy director of the field management center, sitting in Pei Jinan's office.

Liao Jie is the deputy director in charge of the marketing and activities department. He will be sitting here with an assistant beside him. Su Bai immediately knows what's going on.

Seeing this posture, Su Bai smiled wryly with a headache: "Director Liao, I just told the team members on the front foot, don't focus on money, and pay attention to training and games, and you are here on the back foot."

Pei Jin'an and Liao Jie watched Su Bai enter the door, saw the two of them, and then smiled wryly. The two of them didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that Su Bai just beat the players in the team. .

Liao Jie smiled and shook his head: "Okay, most of the players on our track and field team are quite honest, so you don't have to worry too much."

As he said that, Liao Jie took out various documents and forms in his hand: "In fact, at the beginning of the year, after the variety show was broadcast, you also know that the players in the team received many invitations, but the center stopped a lot of invitations." , I feel that the team members were popular at that time, it was all false, and it was just like you worried that the team members would lose their minds when they were exposed to too much commercial content at that time, but this time is different, the Asian Championships is a block The touchstone is that not only the current popularity of track and field events has been thoroughly recognized, but also the strength of the team members has been beautifully revealed."

"On the day the Asian Championships ended, the center received a lot of invitations. I asked the staff in the department to carefully screen them. In the end, I only took the ones that I thought were more suitable and gave the players a good treatment. .”

"It's not just your 400m here, high jump, [-]m, shot put... There are contestants in every event, some are team invitations, some are individual invitations, and the documents here are all brands with high brand awareness and protection. In short, you have to pick and choose. I know you are worried that the players will not accept it, but these invitations are now in our hands. If the players are blocked by you, it may be nothing in a short time, but it will take a long time. This team is more difficult to lead."

Su Bai listened to Liao Jie's words, and nodded with a smile. Liao Jie's words made sense, and he knew and understood that he didn't want to stop the players in the team from making money. It's a coincidence.

To be honest, he actually knows the personalities of the current 400-meter players, and he doesn't want to be inflated just because of some advertisements, but after that, there will always be newer players who are updated and iterated. Joining the national team, since this is the case, in terms of ethos, we must start from now, so as not to give newcomers a feeling of being treated differently in the future.

Su Bai smiled and put these questions to the back of his mind for the time being. He casually accepted Liao Jie's invitation and looked at it. Most of the products involved were sports-related products, and some were milk powder, milk, etc. Nutritional products, most of them are endorsement and promotional products that are very in line with the style of athletes.

These brands are indeed, as Liao Jie said, all passed by the field management center, and their popularity is not low. As far as Su Bai knows, they have always had a good reputation.

"Director Liao, you can figure it out. I don't understand anything related to the business operation of these brands."

What Su Bai said is the truth. So far, he has grown from an athlete to a chef and then a coach. Let him consider the physical and mental state of the players, study various sports law data, or let him cook and cook. , he is fine with these, but seeing the business data that Liao Jie handed him, he really has a headache.

Seeing his headache, Liao Jie also smiled: "Okay, the main thing is to see if the commercial shooting time required by these brands will affect your training schedule, if you have no problems with it , then our Commercial Marketing Department will handle the rest.”

Su Bai did see the requirements for the shooting progress of these commercials just now. He took back the proposals, flipped through them in his hand, and looked at them carefully. After confirming that there was no impact, he handed over the proposals to the Liao Jie's hand.

"No problem at all. The players in the team originally trained six times a week, with a one-day rest period. The time required for the shooting of these commercials is not much, and one day is basically enough. If not, the training on Saturdays is also relatively easy. Yes, a day and a half is probably enough."

Hearing Su Bai's answer, Liao Jie nodded. Seeing that Su Bai seemed to be leaving, Liao Jie quickly stopped him: "Hey, wait, Xiaobai, there are still two invitation cases here."

?

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Liao Jie handed over the case to him separately, but when he saw the final project case, his face suddenly became a little strange.

A project, that is, an ordinary project, but the invitee...

Su Bai wanted to ask if the invitee had made a mistake?

Seeing his expression, Liao Jie and Pei Jinan also laughed beside him: "You are the one who invited you, Xiaobai, in these two cases."
