Almighty Coach

In the studio, the sound of the camera shutter kept ringing, and the flashing light kept flashing. Some staff members held a light board to light a sturdy black man, and the black man held a bottle of drink in his hand. In various poses.

This black man is Justin Alexander, who is now shooting advertisements for a niche brand of sports drinks.

"Okay, this group is finished. Next, you have to take a picture of your drink." The director who is responsible for shooting the advertisement said.

"No problem." Alexander walked to the green cloth very cooperatively and took a bottle of unopened drink from the staff.

"Wait a minute!" Alexander called the staff member, shook the beverage bottle, and then said, "Can you change it to clean water?"

The staff member froze for a moment, and immediately understood that as a professional sprinter, he certainly would not dare to drink indiscriminately, even if he received the product of the advertising endorsement, he would not dare to try a bite.

A few minutes later, the staff brought two bottles of beverages again, but this time, the water was inside.

"Okay, ready to start shooting, Justin, you have to turn your head and face me, yeah, that's it, the head is raised, 45 degrees, higher, better, this angle ..." The director began to direct .

Shooting advertisements is actually a very tiring thing, especially for non-entertainers. As a top professional athlete, Alexandria often appears in front of the camera to be interviewed by the media, but after all, it shows his true nature and is different from shooting advertisements. It is difficult for people who have not received special performance training to relax in front of the advertisement.

However, Alexander is still very dedicated. Although he does not have a good lens like an actor, he is like a diligent bee, and he is seriously performing the director's instructions.

Because this is the first advertising endorsement he received after his comeback.

Track and field athletes are not like the stars of professional teams, they can lead a lot of salary from the team, and the prize money in the game alone is not high. In general international track and field events, such as the IAAF Grand Prix, the prize money of the sub-station champion is only about 10,000 US dollars, and the prize money of the year-end championship is less than 50,000 US dollars.

The highest prize in the track and field competition is the previous million gold medal in the IAAF Gold Grand Prix. This is really a million dollar prize, but the conditions for winning are very harsh, and it must be the gold grand prix of each stop. You can only get the championship if you get it. If you do n’t get the championship, one million dollars will fly away. And if there are multiple players who meet the award criteria, then the one million prize will need to be evenly distributed to the winning athletes.

In fact, the athletes who can get this award are all ruling-level athletes. For them, millions of dollars in prize money is actually not too much. They can earn tens of millions in minutes after receiving advertising endorsements.

The main income of top track and field athletes is advertising endorsements. When Alexander was not banned, he had also received millions of endorsements. However, due to the use of stimulants, Alexander ’s reputation also plummeted. The previous advertising sponsors did not let He lost money even if it was good, and those new advertising sponsors who saw Alexander were more like avoiding the **** of plague than fearing to avoid it.

After the comeback, Alexander returned to people's attention. He participated in several games, and his results were getting better and better. He won several championships in succession, and ran within 10 seconds many times, which also allowed him to regain Media attention.

Sports are like this. Although there are occasionally one or two inspirational stories that attract everyone's attention, they are basically short-lived. People's attention will soon be attracted by other things, only achievements The least easily overlooked by people. As an athlete, even his usual behavior is very controversial, but as long as his performance is good enough, he can still gain a lot of fans.

Now Alexander has regained the favor of advertisers, and he also cherishes this opportunity, just like the classic old saying, he only cherishes it after losing it.

...

Jimmy Alvin has just visited Li Dai's training center. In his opinion, Li Dai's training center is not unique, and it is no different from other advanced physical training centers.

There are still some small disappointments in Alvin's heart. When he visited Taylor before, Taylor treated Li Dai as boastful. This also made Alvin have higher psychological expectations for Li Dai, and after the on-site observation, he looked forward to The feeling faded away, a kind of doubt and uneasiness slowly fermented from Alvin's heart.

Next, Li Dai took Alvin to the outdoor track and field training ground.

"I just bought an electronic timing system here, which was only debugged yesterday, which means that in this training ground, you can completely simulate the electronic timing of the official competition. In this way, the athlete's performance will be more accurate Understanding. "Li Dai introduced.

At the starting point of 200 meters, a starting block was placed, followed by wires behind the starting block, and a coach was playing with the starting gun in his hand.

A black man stood in front of the starting block. This black man's face made Alvin feel familiar, and after careful identification, he was found to be Sean Ford.

"Is that person Sean Ford? I haven't seen him in five or six years. I almost didn't recognize it. I only heard that Justin Alexander was training here. I didn't expect any other athletes." Al The text secretly said.

In the World Championship where Sean Ford won the 200m championship, Alvin also participated, and won two gold medals of 400m and 4 by 400m. So Alvin and Shawn Ford knew each other, but the status of the two people was a bit far away. Alvin was a great athlete, a legend of a generation, and Ford was unknown after a short while.

At this moment, Ford stood on the starting block and the coach next to him raised his starting gun.

"Exactly, let me see how effective this electronic timing system is. After debugging, I haven't seen anyone use it yet." Li Dai said.

As soon as Li Dai's voice fell, the gunshots suddenly sounded, and Sean Ford quickly started and began to accelerate.

Alvin stood indifferently outside the track, without the slightest expectation. 200m and 400m are two different sprint events, and the position between Alvin and Ford is quite different, just like an NBA legend superstar to watch the CBA game, there are only four words: uninteresting.

But Ford on the track was running very seriously, and in an instant, he entered the straight from the corner and then crossed the finish line.

At the end, the LCD screen was casually placed on the grass outside the track. At this time, the 200-meter score of Ford's appeared.

"19 seconds 98, a score of less than 20 seconds, Sean Ford's speed is very fast!" Alvin inhaled subconsciously, the expression of surprise on his face could not be suppressed.

In terms of difficulty, running within 200 seconds within 20 seconds is more difficult than running within 100 seconds within 10 seconds, because 200 meters require certain cornering skills. Judging from the final results of the current Olympic Games, it is possible to hit a medal within 200 seconds of running within 200 meters. In comparison, running within 100 seconds at 100 meters may not even make it to the final.

"Results within 20 seconds, this is the level of the world champion!" Alvin looked at Ford, filled with doubts.

"Since winning the World Championships, Ford has never achieved decent results. If he can have this speed, the Olympic and World Championships trials can definitely be passed easily, but why he has been so weak for so many years, even all It's about to disappear! Is he just playing at a super level? Well, this is how it looks! "Alvin thought to himself.

However, at this time, Li Dai shouted at Ford: "Sean, you can go faster. Just when you ran on the curve, there were several details ..."

Li Dai stepped forward, and asked Ford for three or four minutes, and Ford nodded continuously, then slowly walked to the lawn next to it, and Li Dai trot back to Alvin.

"Will he run again?" Alvin asked.

Li Dai nodded: "He had a problem with the run just now, some details were not done well, which affected the speed, so I asked him to try again. But there is a ten minute rest, Jimmy, please wait a moment, I will go Give Ford a massage.

"It affects the speed and can run for less than 20 seconds. You can blow it! Don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue! Even if it is a show for me, be practical!" Alvin thought dismissively.

At this time, Alvin even felt that Li Dai was to let himself stay for training, and specifically made Ford cooperate with him in a play.

Li Dai's relaxing massage is still very effective. Although Ford just ran 200 meters, but under Li Dai's massage, the sore muscles after the full-running feeling quickly disappeared without a trace.

Ten minutes later, Sean Ford stood on the starting block again, and Li Dai stood aside, repeating the details that Ford had to pay attention to.

After the starting gun fired, Ford rushed out again. This time, Alvin did not disdain as he did last time, but counted silently in his heart.

"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty ..." Alvin counted to the instant of twenty, and Ford had crossed the finish line.

This time, the scoreboard showed a score of 19 seconds and 97.

"0.01 seconds faster than before!" Alvin looked at the electronic scoreboard in surprise.

I ran 200 meters twice in more than ten minutes. The second time was faster than the first time, and the results of both times were within 20 seconds. If you did n’t see it yourself, Alvin would never believe it.

It takes a lot of energy for professional athletes to run 200 meters at full strength. If you only rest for ten minutes, physical fitness cannot be fully recovered, so the speed of the second run must be slower than the first. It is also for this reason that in those large-scale competitions, one morning or one afternoon, only one 200-meter race will be held, the purpose is to restore athletes' physical fitness.

But now, Sean Ford is more than ten minutes apart, but the second result is faster than the first. In Alvin's view, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Ford did n’t do his best for the first run, and had reservations in physical strength, so that he could have more physical strength in the second run.

But Alvin immediately rejected this possibility. If Ford ’s first performance was slow, then this possibility is still true, and Ford ’s first run out of the results within 20 seconds, 200 meters into 20 seconds, how could it not be running out with all your might!

There is only the second possibility, that is, Ford's second run is worse than the first, so even if the physical strength is not as good as the first, it can make up for the lack of physical strength in the technical aspect, so His second result was faster than the first.

Elvin thought carefully, and suddenly felt that this second option might be the only option.

As a legendary athlete ~ www.readwn.com ~ Irving is extremely rich in both sprint knowledge and competition experience. He knows that when running 200 meters, physical fitness is sometimes not the most critical, excellent bend Road technology may cause a gap of tenths of a second, and an inadvertent mistake in the corner may kill the whole game.

The next second, Alvin suddenly remembered how Li Dai had just yelled at Sean Ford.

"Coach Li said just now that Ford can run faster. He has a few details and he has no idea. Then he went to give Ford a few minutes of instruction, and Ford's speed became faster. So, Ford The reason why it is faster is because of coach Li's guidance? "Alvin realized this and changed his attitude towards Li Dai instantly.

...

In front of the computer, Li Dai was typing on the keyboard, and he was developing a training program for Jimmy Alvin.

"Justin Alexander at 100 meters, Shawn Ford at 200 meters and Jimmy Alvin at 400 meters. The three trump cards for the next Olympic sprint event are all in my hands!"
