Almighty Coach

Two weeks later, Auckland, a disabled track and field competition is being held here.

This is the second time Philip has participated in the official disability competition, but he is no longer the unknown pawn. Although many people have not seen him, he has heard of his name and knows that he broke it two weeks ago. A world record even knows that as a disabled athlete at the t43 level, Philip ran faster than the athlete at the t44 level.

"That person should be almost Barron Philip? I heard that this newcomer broke the world record in Seattle."

"It should be him, only he wears prosthetic legs."

"He doesn't look young, must he be twenty-six or sixty years old?"

"I heard that this Barron-Philippe has also been to Iraq. He should have lost his feet in Iraq."

"To be honest, I still can't believe that he can actually break the world record. It is said that he wears prosthetic legs on both legs, and the speed should be more backward. After all, other competitors have at least one complete leg. "

"Maybe it's just a coincidence! It's just a game, it doesn't mean anything. I hope he can still perform well today! Today's game can come to many charities, maybe he can get some sponsorship."

Philip had already started running in the voices of people around him.

The first 30 meters, trailing; the middle 30 meters, catching up; the last 40 meters, overtaking, when he reached the finish line, he fell all his opponents far behind.

"11 seconds 61! He ran within 12 seconds, and 0.5 seconds faster than two weeks ago!"

"It's fast, he's really fast, and I heard that it didn't take long for him to start practicing track and field."

In the stands, the heads of several charities all stared at Barron Philip, with a glimmer of glance in their eyes.

There are many charities in the United States. Americans are also loyal to charity. The richer the people, the more they like to donate money to charities. Many middle-class people are also willing to make small charitable donations.

Because charitable donations in the United States are tax deductible, the charitable donations mentioned here are not only donated money, but also include stocks, real estate, cars, and even old clothes, which can be discounted as charitable donations and then deduct certain taxes.

To give a simple example, for example, if someone has an income of US $ 100,000 and he donated clothing of US $ 1,000, then when paying taxes, he pays the tax in accordance with US $ 99,000. For those who have just reached a certain tax threshold, this kind of donation tax deduction is obviously very cost-effective. They can reduce their income to a tax level by donating to charitable organizations. If you go more, you can also get the reputation of a philanthropist.

For the rich, donation can avoid the gift tax and inheritance tax. The gift tax and inheritance tax in the United States are very high. The inheritance tax and gift tax may make their wealth shrink by half, and this time, Charities can reflect their value.

The rich can set up or invest in a charitable foundation, and then let their heirs be the decision-makers of the charitable foundation, so that after the rich die, this is still used by the heirs of the rich than money. No money inheritance tax is required.

Another example is that a rich man wants to give his son 10 million dollars. In order to avoid tax, he can donate 10 million like a charity, and then let the son go to this charity to name a job as an errand. The charity pays his son a salary. Maybe It was 300,000 a month, or maybe 500,000 a month. The money he donated to the charity mechanic was his son's salary. Ants moved the money to his son to avoid gift tax. Of course, charities will also collect a part of the fees in return.

However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. If there are more charities, it will naturally attract competition. When people donate money, they often choose more famous charities, and well-known charities are more likely to get donations. This requires charities to do some well-known deeds to promote themselves and increase their popularity. More people will donate to them.

Sponsoring a well-known disabled athlete is obviously a good publicity. For example, when a charity funded Philip, when they donated money, they could highlight Philip ’s photos and tell everyone that this powerful athlete with a disability once broke the world record. He is our charity. Funded by this kind of advertising effect, it is equivalent to when you open a webpage and suddenly pop up "The pheasant sends the dragon dragon sword", or the old driver clicks on a video, and "X and X opens, the live dealer online Card "sound.

...

In the afternoon, Philip appeared at the scene of the 200-meter sprint again.

In the 100-meter race in the morning, Philip set another world record, so Philip was already the star of the audience. When he played, the audience burst into a deafening applause.

On the sidelines, Li Dai looked at Philip with a relaxed expression.

Philip started the 200-meter training only after the Seattle game. However, his talent in the 200-meter sprint is better than the 100-meter sprint, and his progress is very fast. In the daily test , Philip's results have repeatedly broken the world record of t43 level 200 meters.

In fact, Philip's progress has far exceeded Li Dai's expectations. Two weeks of training can break a world record. If it is placed on athletes with sound limbs, it is simply unimaginable. After thinking for a long time, Li Dai blamed this result on the American athlete training system.

Although the United States is the world's number one track and field power, the United States is far less dominant than the athletics in the disabled track and field events. As far as the disabled sprint event is concerned, a set of sports prostheses of more than 20,000 US dollars is enough to deter many disabled people who want to become athletes.

Half of the disabled people in the United States rely on government relief to survive, especially the black people who grew up in some slums. Even if they have excellent sports talent, they have no money to get a sports prosthesis. The so-called poor, rich and powerful, playing sports costs money, such as Philip, who is conditional and willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get himself a set of advanced sports prosthetics, is really rare. More Americans have money, the first thought is to eat, drink and enjoy life.

Li Daizheng was thinking about it, Philip on the field had entered the straight from the curve. His speed is still very fast, Li Dai even saw the shadow of a normal athlete on him.

"Come on, Blade Warrior!" A voice sounded from the stands, and someone saw a slogan with the words "Blade Warrior" on it, and a picture of a leopard blade prosthesis.

"Blade Warrior!"

"Blade Warrior!"

This sound obviously affected the surroundings. Gradually, in the area of ​​the grandstand, there were already many voices shouting "blade warrior".

"Philip has a lot of fans! Blade Warrior, this sounds like a cool nickname, and it's also very appropriate. His leopard blade prosthesis is really like a sharp blade."

As Li Dai thought, he watched Philip lead the way, and finally crossed the finish line.

Philip ’s score was fixed at 21 seconds 58 and a score of just 22 seconds. In the United States, such sprinters have some facets in the United States. However, for Philip, a disabled person , But set a new world record.

...

"Blade Warrior, it sounds very loud. Is this talking about the guy who has lost his feet?" Asked a man with white temples and decent glasses on the central grandstand.

"Yes, this should be the nickname people gave to Barron Philip. It looks like he already has some fans." A young man said next to him.

"I think this guy is an object worth investing in. Our new accidental disability insurance program, isn't it yet a spokesperson? Blade Warrior, a name that is easy to remember." The eyed man smiled. Say.

"Director, I see. When the game is over, I will go and talk to Philip." The young man answered immediately.

...

The name "Blade Warrior" quickly appeared in the media. At first, it was only the West Coast media that was paying attention to Philip. Soon after, the media in the eastern United States also knew that there was such a "Blade Warrior" who lost both feet. In just one month, he broke the world record for people with disabilities many times.

The title of "Blade Warrior" was counted overnight, and Philip became a "celebrity" to a limited extent. The reason is limited, mainly because disabled sports ~ www.readwn.com ~ is not the focus of mainstream sports media The content, even if there is a report, is just a flash in the pan.

In a big sports country like the United States, the four major sports leagues can add up to hundreds of games a week, plus tennis, golf, racing, boxing and other popular sports in the United States. Some sports media have content that can be reported. Who will specifically care about the competition for the disabled.

...

Philip handed a check to Li Dai and said at the same time: "Coach Li, I can finally pay you the training fee!"

"Twenty thousand dollars? Where did you get so much money? I remember you won only two thousand dollars in the competition, right?" Li Dai asked puzzled.

The per capita annual income of the United States exceeds US $ 55,000, but people with this income are required to pay personal income tax at a 25% level, plus the social security tax that must be paid in order to enjoy social benefits, and the medical insurance purchased from insurance companies. With dental insurance, the disposable income of Americans is at most 40,000 US dollars, and this cheque of 20,000 US dollars has already been regarded as the cost of Americans for half a year.

"I just signed a sponsorship, an insurance company launched a new disability insurance program, let me be the spokesperson. In addition, there are several charities, which provided me with thousands of dollars in sponsorship fees." Philip There was an excited smile on his face, and then he said, "I can finally stop working short-term and don't have to receive relief money now, I can train 24/7!"

"It sounds like you should find an agent!" Li Dai said with a smile.

"I was really told by you that there was a Steven guy who didn't know where to get my contact information and said he wanted to be my agent! But I ignored it." Philip shook his head and continued : "I'm not a big star, I can't afford a broker!"
