After quitting sports, I became a chef

"No... Coach Su, how do you plan to make them recognize the reality?"

Su Bai's answer just now made Pei Jin'an's heart skip a beat and he felt a little flustered.

Seeing Pei Jinan's nervous appearance, Su Bai said calmly, "It's nothing, just let them know what level I am now."

After a pause, Su Bai said to Pei Jin'an: "If it is convenient, I would like to ask the national team to help arrange a foreign competition for the current key players in the 400-meter event, or invite European and American athletes to come to China for a competition. A simple practice game within the team."

Hearing Su Bai's words, Pei Jin'an finally understood completely - Su Bai was going to give the team's 400-meter runners a blow!

He frowned and said to Su Bai: "Coach Su, I understand that you may be worried that the athletes will not cooperate enough in training when you are new here, but as coaches, we must not only consider the training of the athletes, but also the psychological conditions of the athletes. The current situation is that the competition cycle of the Asian Games is from August 8rd to September 23st. Today is July 9th. The athletes for the training camp will be in place within 1 days. There is only less than 7 days of training time."

"We need to ensure that the athletes' training is effective during this period of time, and more importantly, the athletes' confidence in the competition. Letting the athletes compete with European and American 400-meter event competitors in practice matches may seriously damage the athletes' confidence in the competition. I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to the Asian Games..."

Judging from Pei Jinan's reaction, it can be clearly seen that he does not agree with Su Bai's plan, but because Su Bai is a new coach, he left some leeway for Su Bai and did not directly Oppose and criticize in vain.

In fact, before Su Bai put forward this request, he was already prepared to receive this kind of feedback. After Pei Jinan refused, Su Bai also revealed the reason why he made such a request.

In fact, when Su Bai Qiuwen participated in the 400-meter Grand Prix for the first time, he had already noticed the current situation of the 400-meter event. In the past two days, Su Bai had watched the preliminaries of the 400-meter event in the selection competition After the finals, this feeling became clearer—the current domestic competition environment is too tolerant of the 400-meter event.

The reason why there is such a tolerant environment is very simple, because the domestic 400-meter event is very weak, so weak that as long as there is a little progress, track and field fans will respond most enthusiastically to the players.

This situation is actually a good thing to say, because of the tolerance and encouragement of track and field fans, athletes will not be subjected to all kinds of life attacks and some contemptuous remarks that they should not bear in a high-pressure environment.

But from another point of view, athletes who grew up in this kind of warm public opinion environment will be relatively lazy and easily satisfied.

Because as long as they get certain grades and make certain progress, they will be greeted with countless praises.

In fact, the 100m and 200m in the early years were also in a similar environment, but among these two events, especially the 100m, has always been the most important event in domestic track competitions, so the field management center will bear the pressure from the general body , and the field management center will also send this pressure to the various track and field teams, so that the track and field teams will increase their efforts to train players.

It can be said that in order to achieve a breakthrough in the 100-meter event, the entire domestic sports system has endured a certain sense of oppression. In this environment, of course every second of progress will be praised, but everyone shoulders At the same time, the burden is still heavy, and I will not become happy and erratic just because I have achieved a little achievement.

The 400-meter project is different. Of course, the country also invested a lot in the 400-meter project, but the 400-meter project is relatively difficult due to the overall technical difficulty. So much truth, but how to use these principles, how to cultivate at least first-class 400-meter athletes in Asia... These are difficult problems to solve in China.

If things go on like this, the field management center defaults that the 400-meter event is difficult to overcome, and decides to overcome the 100-meter and 200-meter events first, and then continue to study the mature training experience already mastered, and apply it to the 400-meter event.

This determines that the field management center and the general team can 'understand' that the 400-meter event has no results, and the event itself lacks pressure from the upper levels.

Not only that, in the 400-meter event, the athletes themselves will subconsciously feel that the domestic 400-meter technology is not as good as that of foreign countries, so in this case, although the domestic 400-meter athletes will not mention it in performance, but in their inner consciousness They have already recognized the reality that they are 'weaker', maybe they haven't even thought about it themselves, they admit this reality, if someone mentions this topic to them, they might still jump back and spray back .

And what about domestic track and field fans?

Originally, there were not many fans of track and field, but the sports fans who really like this sport know that track and field training is hard work and talent. They are also very good at all kinds of archaeology, researching various sports news and scientific research achievements at home and abroad. Under such circumstances, although track and field fans feel sad about the original difference in domestic and foreign results, they are still very tolerant towards athletes.

There is no task pressure from the professional management level, and there is no pressure from the fan level. In addition, the athletes' self-awareness in their hearts still likes to escape reality.

The combination of various internal and external factors has resulted in the embarrassing status quo of the current domestic 400-meter event-everyone feels that the athletes are working hard, which is due to the limitations of talent and coaching plans, but in actual competitions, people often see When the athletes are paddling, they will make up excuses for them while paddling, saying that it is because they know that they cannot run very well, so their competitive state is very 'tired'.

Since Su Bai started to take over Qiu Wen's 400-meter event training, he also went through several competitions and watched many domestic 400-meter event videos before gradually confirming this situation.

At present, Qiu Wen has not been affected by this environment for the time being, but Zhang Wei and Hu Li were considered "victims" of this environment before.

Before Su Bai came to the national team, he briefly looked at the profiles of Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun, as well as Li Junhao, another player from city b who was squeezed out of this selection by Hu Li and Zhang Wei. , Su Bai has more or less seen their laziness under the influence of the deformed domestic 400-meter environment.

Leaving aside, let’s just talk about Li Junhao from city b team—this player of city b team is not low in talent. He is only 23 years old today, but he ran a time of 16 seconds in the outdoor season in 46. He is an athlete who achieved very early results, but in this year's outdoor season, he failed to run under 89 seconds in every race. Originally, his results were almost stuck at the bottom of the ranking for entering the grand prix finals. Three people, Qiu Wen, Hu Li, and Zhang Wei, suddenly appeared in the Grand Prix. Under the impact of the three of them, Li Junhao's qualification for the finals was directly washed away.

Before this incident, many netizens discussed on the Internet. Many people believed that Liang Zi of the city b team and the track and field team of province s could be regarded as a big one this time.

But there are also track and field fans who are clearly aware that this is purely because Li Junhao himself has done nothing in the grand prix races of the year, so this result has occurred.

As for the reason for inaction?

"So, why did Li Junhao do nothing?"

After Su Bai finished the above series of content, he asked Pei Jinan very straightforwardly. After Su Bai asked this question, Pei Jinan did not answer for a long time. He leaned back on his office chair and sighed for a long time. .

"……you're right."

Pei Jin'an did not answer Su Bai's question, but directly agreed with Su Bai's point of view.

From the perspective of coaches, they have always felt that the domestic 400-meter event training ability is insufficient. For athletes, although they are very strict in training, they are very caring and caring in terms of life and mental health.

Not only that, but the national team mainly undertakes the tasks of international competitions, so it is necessary to focus on the athletes' competition status and mental health.

Due to multiple reasons, they are not willing to directly educate the athletes on setbacks, because it is very likely that the athletes will not be able to show their original strength in the official competition.

"I misunderstood, Coach Su, you are right, it is time for them to recognize the reality!"

Pei Jinan nodded sullenly.

With this nod, he agreed with Su Bai's approach. He wanted to throw the players who could be said to be in the greenhouse environment into the real environment for a while, let them see their own strength, and then adjust them. Confrontation mentality and further training plan.

Such an approach, of course, may lead to psychological frustration of the athletes, and even individual athletes may be devastated, but it is not too late to cure the poison by scraping the bones.

After making up his mind, Pei Jinan glanced at Su Bai again, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Coach Su, although you are young, you are more ruthless than us old men! We have more or less noticed it before. This is a problem, but I have too many scruples in my heart, so I can't be as straightforward as you."

"Don't worry, this decision, if there is any follow-up impact on the subsequent games, I will take responsibility together with you, even if the players' competitive state is affected due to the stimulation plan of this practice match, as long as they can pass This time the game will allow them to go further on the road of sports in the future, and it will be worth it!"

Seeing Pei Jinan's full support for him, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Pei Jinan seemed to be supporting him with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, Su Bai thought for a while, and comforted him: "Director Pei, don't worry, although there will be Some excitement, but the final results of the players may not be greatly affected."

Hearing Su Bai's words, Pei Jin'an felt that he was probably comforting himself, so he smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, it's okay, since it's decided to hand over the 400-meter event to you for this training camp, then you can rest assured and be bold Let's do it!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Jinan himself started to laugh. The reason why Su Bai was called to the national team at first was that the players could achieve good results in the competition, but after the conversation just now, Pei Jinan put the results first. In the back of my mind, I feel that it is also a good thing for the players to adjust their mental state and make progress in long-term development.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jin'an said: "It's still the outdoor season, most of the players are still running various competitions, and the Asian Games will be coming soon, so it's not suitable to find Asian players, so let's ask the team leader to contact some players from last year's season. Players whose best results are around 50 in the world, come to our team within a week and 'communicate' with our team's 400-meter event players."

Hearing this, Su Bai seriously nodded his head in agreement.

Ranking 50th in the world doesn't sound like a particularly high ranking. For the players, it is difficult to raise any special sense of vigilance, and the actual personal strength of these players...

Thinking of this, Su Bai also felt that Pei Jinan's arrangement was very suitable.

At this time, the members of the 400-meter training camp who have not yet come to the national team's track and field training base feel more or less excited-the hairs on their backs suddenly stand on end, what's going on?

After solving the "real needs" of the 400-meter event, Su Bai also went to the hurdle group and briefly communicated with the head coach of the hurdle group, Lu Shengbin. Lu Shengbin has always been Lu Mengfan's head coach. After being a monster newcomer, Lu Shengbin really wanted Su Bai to come directly to the hurdle team, but after he knew about the 400-meter event, he also knew that this request was not realistic.

The next best thing to do is, Lu Shengbin was worried that he didn't understand Cui Luoheng's situation, so he told Su Bai that Cui Luoheng would still be in charge of him.

As for Lu Shengbin's original tangled point, it was mainly whether to ask Su Bai to study Lu Mengfan's training plan together, but after repeated consideration, he decided to let Su Bai only take charge of Cui Luoheng for the time being.

In terms of the 110-meter hurdles, Su Bai does not have any special plans. In the next month or so, his overall training for Cui Luoheng will still focus on controlling his attention. Besides, he will also carry out some technical details. Physical adjustment and maintenance training in terms of strength and reaction speed.

After clarifying the allocation of training work with Lu Shengbin, Su Bai also returned to his dormitory, sat on the small sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

Here in the national team, there is a brand new environment and new work partners. Fortunately, at present, it seems that everyone is still a pure sports personality, and there shouldn't be any major problems getting along at work.

After a short rest, Su Bai turned on the laptop he brought, and began to make a rough training plan and goal planning.

The sunlight at noon in summer poured into the room, making it extraordinarily bright and even a bit dazzling.

Su Bai raised his hand and rubbed his eyes slightly. When he withdrew his hand, he looked at the back of his hand and frowned—I don't know if it was his illusion. Whitened up...

He used to be the type who couldn't tan even among athletes, but now, even at a glance, there are no traces of pores on his arms.

Is it because he has changed from an athlete to a coach, so he was not tanned before, but now he is even whiter?

Su Bai scratched his head, put this boring thought behind him, and then turned his attention to the document in front of him.

The next day, the list of the coaching staff of the track and field national team was officially announced, and the first mobilization meeting of the coaching staff of the national team was also held at the same time.

During the meeting, Jiang Wentao, the deputy director of the competition team of the Field Management Center, presided over the meeting, emphasizing the conventional spiritual requirements such as hard work and refusal to refuse doping. mission requirements.

Perhaps it was because Pei Jin'an had directly communicated with the field management center the day before. When mentioning the men's 400-meter event, Jiang Wentao briefly passed the task of the event, and only asked the athletes to "perform with all their strength and perform in the best condition".

At the same time, Jiang Wentao also hinted, [for the long-term development of the athletes, it is allowed to strategically give up the results of one or two games].

Hearing this, Su Bai understood that this should mean that the field management center also agreed to his plan and gave him enough autonomy.

After the meeting, Jiang Wentao left Su Bai alone, and told him that the Field Management Center had received feedback from Pei Jinan and agreed to Su Bai's request, but since there were plans and plans, there must be corresponding goals as the overall goal. Validation of the effect of the implementation of the plan.

The Athletic Management Center does not require Su Bai to give feedback on the training effect within the time limit of the 400-meter event in the Asian Games, but hopes that Su Bai can give periodic training effect verification with the goal of the National Athletics Championships at the end of September .

Su Bai was slightly stunned: "But isn't the training period only before the Asian Games?"

Jiang Wentao shook his head: "Before the Asian Games is only the first stage of the training camp. This training camp will be based on actual results. After selecting some players, it is possible to directly connect with the national team's winter training this year."

"Although it is only late July, it is also the middle and late stages of the outdoor season. Next year will be 7. The Asian Championships and World Championships are just around the corner, and there will be the next 19 years of Olympic competition..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wentao's face was solemn: "Coach Su, this time, the field management center and the national team have transferred you to the national team to take charge of the men's 400-meter event. Considering your age and coaching qualifications, this is unprecedented, including The support for your proposal this time is also unprecedented. The 400-meter event is indeed one of the pain points in domestic track competitions, and we all hope that you can achieve exciting results in this event for everyone!"

"But you should also understand that if your results fail to meet expectations, then the field management center and the national team will judge you again."

"Everything is for the athletes' better performance and glory, I hope you can understand this."

What Jiang Wentao said clearly explained all the stakes with Su Bai—the field management center and the national team supported Su Bai in this practice match, but Su Bai’s practice match stimulation still has future. Training must have sufficient performance feedback, otherwise, under the pressure of the next two "track and field competition years", the national team will inevitably choose other coaches who have achieved more and are more convincing to take over.

Su Bai looked at Jiang Wentao, and looked directly into his eyes with the same solemnity: "Don't worry, Director Jiang, I understand what you mean. I will give the corresponding standard after meeting the athletes and testing the effect verification plan."

"Okay." Jiang Wentao laughed: "Then I'll wait for good news from Coach Su!"

So far, the field management center, the national team's sprint team, and Su Bai have all reached an agreement, and Su Bai has also gained the greatest autonomy to make a series of training plans for the players who will come to train under him.

There are a total of 400 athletes who will come to Su Bai to participate in the 7-meter training. Among them, the traditional strong team of the 400-meter event, the B City Team, even came with their coaches. They came to the national team as Su Bai's deputy. Wang Ting, the head coach of the 400-meter event of the b city team, and his three players Zhang Ziyi, Guo Dun, and Li Junhao, as well as Lin Chuan from the track and field team of province z, Zhou Xu from the track and field team of province g, and the track and field team of province f Zhang Chang, and finally Qiu Wen of the provincial track and field team.

Among these six people, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen will be contestants in the men's 6-meter sprint event, while Zhang Ziyi, Guo Dun, Li Junhao, Lin Chuan, Zhou Xu, and Zhang Chang are all members of the men's 400*4-meter relay team Among them, Li Junhao, Zhou Xu, and Zhang Chang took turns as substitute players, and only Zhang Ziyi, Guo Dun, and Lin Chuan were long-term regular members of the relay team.

All the relevant materials of these team members have been handed over to Su Bai, but in addition to these superficial materials, Su Bai also wanted to know more details, so he thought about it, and called Sun Xiangdong to ask him Help me to contact the nutritionist of the national team and the master chef of the back kitchen...

On July 7th, on this day, all the athletes participating in the Jakarta Asian Games national team training camp had reported to the training base, and Su Bai also met his team members and deputy head coach Wang Ting.

When meeting with the team members, Su Bai ignored Qiu Wen who kept winking at him, but said unanimously to everyone: "In order to understand everyone's strength, I decided to invite some 50-meter runners who are ranked 100-400 in the world. Athletes of the project, arrange to have a practice match with everyone in two days."

"Don't be nervous, everyone, adjust your state as soon as possible in these two days."

After a pause, Su Bai said very friendlyly: "In order to welcome everyone, today I will cook myself and cook a welcome dinner for you. At 6 o'clock in the evening, everyone will meet you on the third floor of the cafeteria."

?

???

The athletes present, except for Qiu Wen, were originally going to listen to the coach's lecture, but the coach seemed to be easy to talk to!

Not only is it easy to talk, but you also said that you want to give them a welcome banquet?

Where have these athletes present seen this posture?After all, their previous coaches were rough guys who couldn't cook.

But they were also a little puzzled: this coach looks clean, kind, and so young... Is it really the awesome coach who brought out Qiu Wen?

Everyone turned their gazes to Qiu Wen's direction vaguely, only to see that the boy's eyes were shining brightly.

"Xiaobai...ah no, coach coach, can Ah Heng and Wang Shen participate in today's dinner?"

Su Bai glanced at the athletes who were unaware of the danger of the upcoming 'practice match', and then glanced at Qiu Wen, who was even more silly and sweet, and nodded very easy to talk: "Yes."

For some reason, the athletes present felt a chill all over when they heard Su Bai's words of "yes"...
