Almighty Coach

Chapter 257: The shadow of defeat

Blake rubbed his temples and thought for a few seconds before saying: "Adam Holly is well-known in the United States, so from a propaganda perspective, it is good for us to agree to this business. And Adam Holly is also very rich. He can afford high training fees. In addition to being a world champion, he can get some advertising income. He also has a shooting training center with an outdoor shooting range, which can give him Individuals bring in more than two million dollars in income each year. "

"The shooting training center is so profitable?" Li Dai was a little surprised: "Although I know that the gun industry in the United States is very developed, on average, almost everyone has a gun, but I did not expect this industry to flourish to such a point that a shooting The training hall can earn two million a year! "

Blake smiled slightly: "I understand that your subtext is talking about the proliferation of American guns. But Holly's shooting gallery can earn so much, in addition to the celebrity benefits of their couples, there are other reasons, such as Holly himself, I often make guest shooting coaches and offer shooting courses. Shooting courses for world champions are naturally more expensive. "

Li Dai nodded incomprehensiblely and listened to Blake's introduction.

Only Blake said: "Adam Holly is a genius shooting suit. His father and grandfather are both hunters, so Holly also inherited the excellent genes of the family. When he was five years old, he began to learn shooting ... … "

"You wait." Li Dai interrupted Blake: "You said hunter? Professional hunter? America still has this old profession?"

"Of course, the handling of hunting licenses is very simple. As long as the conditions are met, you can do it by issuing identification and paying a certain fee. Many shops that sell guns and hunting equipment can even handle it. Of course, there are regulations on what kind of prey to be hunted. Having a hunting license does not mean that you can hunt wild animals at will. "

"As for current professional hunters, the main income comes from hunting and providing hunting guide services. The target of hunting is wild boar. The wild boar in the United States belongs to alien species and was brought by the Spaniards in that year, so the wild boar is basically not in the United States. What kind of natural enemies, in places where wild boars are flooded, the number of wild boars can triple in five years. Herds of wild boars can destroy crops, kill animals, and even attack humans. Therefore, farmers often hire professional hunters to hunt wild boars. "

"And the hunting guide service, that is, taking hunting enthusiasts to go hunting in the wild, you know, many hunting enthusiasts have very precise marksmanship, but they do n’t know how to find prey, and they do n’t know how to track prey. At this time, you need to rely on professional hunters, and the presence of professional hunters can also make hunters safer. The income of hunters in this area is very good, because many hunting enthusiasts are rich people, they are willing to spend thousands of dollars to find The trail of a black bear. "

Blake popularized Li Dai's knowledge of hunters, and then introduced Adam Holly: "Where did I just say? By the way, Holly started learning shooting when he was five years old, and he couldn't even take it Sports rifle, so I started to learn from the pistol, and soon showed his talent. He won the national championship of the ten-meter air pistol competition at the age of twelve. "

"In addition to shooting, Hawley also loves baseball, but his talent in baseball is more general, far from shooting. And there are first-class universities in the United States willing to provide full scholarships for top shooting athletes. For the full scholarship, Hawley In the end, I chose to shoot, and it was still a more difficult 5m air rifle project. "

American college tuition is very expensive, and parents rarely help their children pay for college tuition. Most Americans go to college by loan. From the day they enter the school, they will have to bear the pressure of repaying the student loan. They After graduating, it will take several years to pay off the student loan, so many people will find ways to apply for scholarships to relieve their pressure.

In addition to the normal tuition fee waiver, the full scholarship in the United States also has a living allowance. Basically, after receiving the full scholarship, you do n’t have to worry about tuition and living expenses for college. You can even earn a lump sum. Undergraduate scholarships, university life will be very nourishing, do not need to spend time to work to earn living expenses, and do not have to worry about repayment of loans in the future, so many Americans in their junior high school years began to plan how to obtain university scholarships in the future.

Blake went on to introduce: "After entering the university, Hawley received more professional training, and his shooting level also rapidly improved. By the time Holly University graduated, he had become the strongest in the United States on the 5m air rifle project. Of athletes, there is no one. "

"After graduating from college, Hawley became a professional shooting player. He began to participate in shooting competitions frequently. There were domestic competitions in the United States and world-class competitions. He won many gold medals, including the gold medal in the shooting world championships. He also quickly became a household name. Shooting is still very broad-based in the United States, and the sharpshooter will be worshipped by people. "

"Later, Hawley participated in the Olympics. In the Olympics you said, he hit someone's gun target and lost the gold medal in the event of a win. You know this."

Li Dai nodded: "I witnessed that game on TV that year. After the penultimate shot, our country's contestant ranked second, and it was 9.1 rings behind Holly, which means As long as Holly does not miss the target, he can win the game. However, Holly really misses the target, and the ghost is hit on the gun target of others, and it is an amazing 1.6 ring score. This is simply not in the professional level game. What might happen, not to mention the Olympic finals. Excuse me, when I saw this, I jumped up from my chair excitedly. "

"Picked up a gold medal for the Olympics, you really should celebrate." Blake said unnaturally.

Li Dai smiled embarrassingly. He asked: "After that, Huo lost the Olympic gold medal in that way. Will he be accused by the American people?"

"No, he is our hero!" Blake shook his head, and then said: "It seems that you have not noticed that there are two items in the 5m rifle, except for the three-position 5m rifle where Holly lost the gold medal There is also a 5m rifle prone game. The competition started a little earlier. The Olympic gold medal of the 5m rifle prone event was Adam Holly, who won a gold medal at the Olympic Games. Yiyin, what other reason can we blame? "

"It turned out that I only knew his bad luck in the Olympic Games, but I didn't expect him to be the Olympic champion before the bad luck." Li Dai said.

"Almost everyone blamed the loss on luck. For Adam Holly, the loss was not nothing. A Czech female shooter stepped forward to comfort him. The female athlete was Yekalina. Adam Hawley's current wife. So although he lost a gold medal, he held the beauty home. "Blake continued to introduce.

"Fate, wonderful ..." Li Dai said this silently in Chinese.

"What? What do you mean?" Blake asked.

"This means ..." Li Dai wasteed some time to explain the sentence, making Blake change from not understanding to seemingly incomprehensible.

Blake also understands that Li Dai is afraid that it is difficult to accurately translate the meaning of "destiny, wonderful, unspeakable". Instead of continuing to struggle with this sentence in Chinese, he went on to introduce: "In the years after the Olympics, Hawley He has also won the world championship many times. He is still dominant in the 5m air rifle project. I even thought that the unlucky last shot at the Olympics did not affect Hawley.

Blake's voice changed, and then said: "But I was wrong. Almost all the gold medals that Holly got were laid the foundation of the victory very early. There is no need to wait until the last shot. The advantage he obtained is enough. Let him lock the championship. Until the Olympics four years later, another finals, another last shot, another defeat, at that time all talents realized that Hawley did not miss the target from four years ago. Come out in the shadow. "

"That game, I watched the TV broadcast. Holly has always been in the leading position, and he is in good shape, often hitting a number of more than 1.5 rings. In the last shot, he led the second place by 4 rings, which is almost A completely irreversible result, he only needs to play a 6 ring to win the championship, but he only played 4.4. In this level of competition, 4.4 ring is an impossible number. "Li Dai said Said.

"Yes, this result also means that Holly did not walk out of the shadow of the year. In fact, in the previous 12 shots, Holly prone shots achieved a full 4 rings, which shows that in the 5m air rifle In the project, Holly still has a dominance level, but unfortunately, it is the last shot ... "Blake sighed and said regretfully:" Since then, Holly has not been able to reach the last shot. With his true level of play, the last shot can hit the ring or more, even if it is a good result. So he also has the nickname of "the last shot of tragedy."

"This is obviously a psychological problem!" Li Dai spread his hands together: "Did he not find a psychologist?"

"Of course I have found ~ www.readwn.com ~ the most famous psychologist in the United States, Europe, and the world. He has looked for it, but it has no effect. I think if any psychologist can solve Hawley's last shot. , Will be famous, "Blake said.

"Those famous psychologists can't solve things, but they have to count on me as a coach." Li Dai chuckled.

Blake has a different point of view: "Isn't that better? You don't need to have any psychological burden. It is best if you can help Holly solve the problem. If you can't solve it, no one will talk about it."

Li Dai thought for a while: "So, let me meet with Mr. Adam Holly, and I will make a decision."

"Alright, we should definitely talk in person, and wait for me to make an appointment to inform you." Blake continued: "Next, I have good news. In the last eight weeks, I have not received a letter of resignation. The wave of coach departures these days should have ended. "

"Yeah, the ones who should dig people are almost dug, and the people who should be digged are also digged away." Li Dai showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Remember what I said? My here People are not so easy to dig! "
