American winner takes all

Chapter 104 I got used to vomiting and vomiting (14)

Ethan looked around at everyone and found that no one stood up.

"Very good. It seems that you don't want to be a deserter. This proves that you still have a sense of shame..." Ethan said loudly.

But I saw Rice, who was sitting in the last row, slowly raising his hand.

"What if we have to do long-term strength training and study?" Rice asked.

I have never seen him so enthusiastic about learning before, but at this time, he immediately thought of his studies.

In order to maximize results, a concentrated block of training is necessary, which conflicts with the daily morning sessions.

"This requires you to make a choice. Coach Thomas and I will negotiate with the school and we can take a long leave for you collectively." Ethan responded.

When this was mentioned, a small number of team members showed concern and frequently exchanged opinions among themselves.Most of the main team members are still willing to take leave. As 12th grade students, starting from this semester, there will be fewer courses and more "school visits" to prepare for exams. These people don't care.

But in order to keep everyone involved as much as possible, Ethan still tried to say: "Of course, you can make your own choice. But I want to know, what are you playing rugby for? Is it to win this game? Is it to become National champion? Do you want to become a professional golfer?"

"Do you still want to be a real tough guy? Or do you want to be invincible? Win everything?" Ethan slapped his chest hard.

"This is not a simple training camp, but an opportunity for you to change your life! Who wants to waste this opportunity?" Ethan looked at each one one by one, and those who had hesitated before suddenly did not dare to say anything.

"Very good, we will announce the specific training plan this afternoon!" Of course Ethan announced it at this moment. He didn't know how to train at all, so he had to let the physical coach give a specific plan.

After a short meeting, Ethan, Coach Thomas, and the physical coach got together.

From a professional perspective, the physical fitness coach gave his own plan: "What forward players need most is propulsion, followed by pulling power, explosive power, and stability. They need to strengthen the chest, shoulders, deltoid and triceps muscles, back, Trapezius, biceps, legs, core. A series of muscle groups such as waist and abdomen..."

Then we started talking about specific exercise details. Common ones include bench press, push press, dumbbell curl, dumbbell fly, dumbbell row, box jump, cart, Russian twist, American kettlebell swing, and Turkish get-up. Uncommon ones These include dragging tires, doing handstands, throwing forward and jumping...

Based on this, Ethan tripled his training volume.

"Will he be injured?" the physical fitness coach expressed concern.

"If they are going to target me, they must show amazing willpower!" Ethan said that this is inevitable.

It also includes nutritious recipes to increase the required intake of adequate protein and carbohydrates, including three main meals and three snacks.

You must also ensure a good schedule. Everyone lives in a dormitory on campus, gets enough sleep every day, and goes to bed early and gets up early.

"I can contact a pharmacist. Without steroids, the effectiveness of these trainings will be greatly reduced." Thomas said at this time.

These are necessary if you want to go further. Thomas knows this better than anyone. Not everyone is as special as Ethan.

"What about the side effects? Are there any sequelae?" Ethan asked.

Thomas chuckled: "Even drinking water has side effects. In comparison, we only used one-tenth of the amount of our opponents."

The details are finalized.

For Ethan, there is a more serious challenge - funding.

Bringing these athletes together for closed training will cost a lot of money just in terms of food consumed every day, not to mention other expenses. In terms of accommodation, classrooms in schools can be used instead.This all comes with an expense.

BHHS has money, but how to get it and whether it can apply for the budget is a question.

"Don't you know Grace well? I'll leave this matter to you. I'll be responsible for asking for leave for the students." Thomas smiled and made arrangements.

·
"Thirty thousand dollars? Isn't that too much?" In the office, Grace immediately rejected the news as soon as she heard it.

"This has already deducted the accommodation. You still have to apply for three classrooms for us separately." Ethan spread his hands.

"If you want the team to produce results, these are the necessary expenses. In the game against Highland High School, our front line was beaten into pieces."

"But there is no extra budget for sports projects. The semester has only been going on for a month and a half, and I have already spent half of the budget for this semester." Grace said she was helpless. It was obvious that she had brought her usual lavish spending habits to work.

"How much money did you make for the travel company?" Ethan looked helpless.

"In this case, we can only use another method to film this closed training camp into a documentary. Maybe a TV station is willing to pay the copyright fee. This money can just be used to cover the expenses." Ethan tried to think about it and felt This is a good idea.

The United States is undoubtedly at the forefront of the world in terms of sports commercialization. A certain reality show training camp played a big role in the UFC's popularity back then. The NFL also has various training camps with the team as the main perspective every year.

Ethan feels that this model can be replicated.

"The problem is... I don't know the TV staff at all!" Grace said suddenly.

·
The next day, when Ethan brought the program director of FOX Sports West, together with the director and host Penny, to Grace's office, Grace looked at the business card handed over for a long time and seemed a little unbelievable.

I didn’t expect Ethan to finish this matter in one day.After friendly negotiation, the other party was willing to pay US$5 to purchase the broadcast rights of this closed training camp, and the TV station will produce 6 episodes of the documentary.

Not only did the school not have to pay a dime, but they also received an additional US$2 in compensation, which put a heavy smile on Grace's face after seeing her off.

"I didn't expect you to be quite capable." Grace now feels that this young man Ethan O'Connor does have a lot of skills.

"In addition, I have already contacted the suppliers regarding the purchase of ingredients and equipment, and the closed training camp can start tomorrow!" Ethan said unhurriedly.

The supplier is naturally the supermarket where Mia works. As for the food production staff, the hot dog vendor named "Mason" is very happy to make a guest appearance.

"It would be much easier for me if the person in charge of every sports program looked like you." Grace shook her head.

"However, the specific budget expenditure must be approved by me." She continued, and it seemed that she was not ready to give Ethan the green light.

"Unless you are willing to do me a favor!" Grace then made her request.

"any request?"

"You have to help me look after the cheerleading team during this time. I'm too busy right now. The cheerleading team hasn't trained for a week. I don't need you to teach them to dance. You just need to maintain normal operations. I believe you can do it. Go to Salt Lake City." This time, you did very well."

Ethan shook his head: "That won't work. You have to pay more!"

·
That night, about 60 people, including the main players of the rugby team and substitutes, came to the school dragging their luggage.

"Starting tonight, you will live together, eat together, train together, go to bed before 10pm every night, get up at 05:30am, and start morning practice at [-]am. This will last until the game against Bishop High School next month Three days before the start." Ethan said to everyone with his hands behind his back like Coach Thomas.

In fact, since starting the independent player route, Ethan has begun to work more and more as a coach.

"What about you? Ethan." Cooper asked at this time.

"Of course I'm the same as you." Ethan nodded.

The players cheered.

In fact, Ethan only decided to stay for a few days, and then let Thomas or other coaches come over to take over and watch these players at night.

"Now let me explain the rules of the training camp. During this period, there are four Friday league games to deal with. In addition, everyone blocks all communication with the outside world. All forms of entertainment must stop. I will confiscate you one by one later. All the entertainment products in your luggage will be returned to you after the training camp is over." Ethan kicked the plastic box at his feet in front of everyone.

Then let the team members unpack their luggage one by one.

"Penthouse", "Playboy", "Gentleman", Walkman, Gameboy, mobile phones, VCRs, and tissues were all taken away.

Then he took these young people whose biological clocks had not yet adjusted to the playground and ran fifteen laps. After they came back, these young people finally became much more honest.

·
At dawn, in the Hollywood Hills, there was a group of young people, each carrying sandbags on their waists, running on the rugged mountain dirt road. The team was sparse and stretched for dozens of feet.

Ethan drives a four-wheel mountain bike, which is Thomas's toy.He was chanting running slogans to everyone:

“Eskimo p***y is mighty cold!”

The others followed suit.

"Sound off!" Ethan.

"One, two!" team member.

"Break it on down!" Ethan.

"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four!" The crowd looked majestic and high-spirited.

This slogan comes from Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket". Ethan slowed down slightly and came to the end of the line.

Rice's equipment is obviously the most neatly dressed. Knee pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, and hairbands are all running shoes that light up and shine with gravity. However, the poor student always has the most stationery, and his pace can no longer keep up with the rest of the group.

Ethan took out a small leather whip bought from the Sacred Valley Props Store and swung it behind his back. The whip made a clear sound of breaking through the air.

Rice made an "ouch" and quickened his pace, with a painful expression on the verge of crying.

Finally reaching a flat ground in the Hollywood Hills, several team members, including Rice, ran to the side and vomited.

"I may not be able to hold on any longer. I've already vomited for the third time." Rice's steps were sloppy, and his white T-shirt was completely soaked with sweat.

In fact, in Ethan's opinion, this kid just wanted to be lazy.

"It doesn't matter, you will get used to it if you vomit and vomit." Ethan smiled and shook the small whip in his hand.
