Almighty Coach

The media soon reported on the media meeting of the American track and field team.

"‘ I am the head coach of the American track and field team, so my approval is the standard for entering the American track and field team! ’This declaration is really cool!"

"I think this is a kind of arrogance. Who does he think he is? A Chinese coach, on what basis his approval is the standard to enter the US team."

"I'm also looking forward to seeing his defeat in the Olympics. But his failure is the failure of the American team. I still hope to see the American team get more medals."

"I'm just the opposite. I really want to see that this Chinese coach can succeed. Our athlete selection system has many flaws. Someone should stand up and break the tradition!"

European and American countries have always had a culture of "bruturing". For example, in an athletic competition, athletes in European and American countries will definitely say that they want to win the championship, or that they must win themselves, even if their strength is even second. One round can't pass; and Asian culture should be more humble. Even if it has the strength to win the championship, even if the champion has already won ten points, it is necessary to say something like a strong opponent and instability.

For example, in the NBA, at least half of the teams before the start of the season will say: Our goal this year is to win the championship. In fact, there are four or five teams that are really capable of saying this. Or at the end of the season, obviously only theoretically possible in the playoffs, players will also say that the team can enter the playoffs; for example, in the playoffs, a team is 0 to 3 behind, then this ball 100% of the players on the team will say: We want to reverse 4 to 3. In fact, he doesn't believe it.

You do n’t have to pay taxes on bragging. After this bragging, you will blow it next time. Anyway, everyone knows that you are bragging, and you wo n’t take what you say seriously. There is no sense of shame when it blows through. There is no such thing as a so-called gentleman.

...

The knock on the door rang, and American track team leader and manager Downey looked at the door and said, "Please come in."

Li Dai pushed the door and walked in. When Downey saw that it was Li Dai, he immediately got up and greeted him.

"Coach Li, please sit down." Downey said enthusiastically.

After Li Dai took the seat, without too much greetings and nonsense, he went directly to the topic and said: "Mr. Downey, I came to you this time. I have something to discuss with you."

"Coach Li, please say." Downey put on a listening expression.

"The third training session of the track and field team is about to end. So far, I am quite satisfied with the effect of the training, but I think the training time is far from enough. You also know that this year ’s situation is special. Our athletes are not as strong as they were in previous years. There are many young athletes in the team. They still need more training to meet my predetermined requirements. Some powerful old sports also need more training to maintain their personal status. "Li Dai said.

"That is to say, you want to increase the training time of athletes?" Downey thought for a while, then said: "Before the opening of the Olympic Games, we have the fourth training session."

"At that time, the Olympics should be opening soon? I have seen the schedule. The fourth training session is scheduled for August. After the training, we will go directly to Rio to participate in the Olympics. For me, these times are not enough." Li Dai replied.

"In this case, we can try to delay the time of the third training session, or conduct the fourth training session in advance. In this regard, I can report to the Tian Xie. Do you need to add more days?" Downey asked.

"From now until the beginning of the Olympic Games." Li Dai replied.

"Well ..." Donny suddenly looked embarrassed. He thought Li Dai just wanted to increase the training time for a few more days, but he didn't expect that Li Dai's lion opened his mouth and walked away for half a month.

"Coach Li, if it's only two or three days, it's better to say that it would be more difficult for you to increase such a long period of time. We need to rent venues, we need to provide the necessary accommodation and meals for athletes, and we need to provide staff with salaries It will cause additional expenditure, I am afraid that I can not apply for so much budget. "Downey looked embarrassed or.

The U.S. national teams are all teamed up temporarily before the game. Just like the temporary grass-roots team, there is no special training place. Each training must rent a place in advance, and the accommodation and meals provided for the athletes are also necessary. Book hotel and chef in advance. All of this is done after the budget has been made. Once the training days are temporarily increased, it can be discussed after only two or three days. The venue, logistics and budget will become a problem for a long time.

The utilization rate of sports venues in the United States is very high. In addition to competitions and training, some large sports venues often hold some performances. For example, basketball NBA game venues or American football NFL game venues are often used to hold concerts. Players need to rent other venues for training from time to time.

This is not the case if it is in China. There are several training bases for the national team, which can be practiced all over the country. If this is not possible, just find a provincial team training center, and you will be able to do it.

Li Dai also knows that Downey did not perfunctory himself, but what he said is the truth, so many days of training, and the logistics support of so many athletes and coaches, Downey can't solve it.

So Li Dai said, "Mr. Downey, I also know that with so many days of training, I ’m afraid it ’s not easy to solve on your side, so I thought of a solution. I want to change the training location to Los Angeles, right here. Training center, I have enough space and equipment to support so many people training at the same time. "

"This is a solution." Downey nodded. "But can the athletes accept it?"

"Let the athletes participate voluntarily. Those who are willing to come to Los Angeles to train, I welcome with both hands, and those who do not want to come, I do not force it." Li Dai said.

"How to calculate the cost." Downey said tentatively: "Coach Li, I know that your training center is first-rate in terms of hardware and facilities. The fees should be high? So many athletes go to you to train, I'm afraid the Association of Tian'an will not approve this budget. "

"I will pay for training ~ www.readwn.com ~ Don't worry about Tian Xie." Li Dai said directly.

"What about the logistics? More than a hundred people always need a place to sleep?" Downey asked.

"Los Angeles is not short of hotels. Just look for one and you can house more than a hundred people." Li Dai looked at Downey's expression and said, "You don't have to worry about the cost of accommodation, I'm out."

"The question of eating ..." Downey then asked.

"I'll solve it. I'll pay for the food." Li Dai replied.

"Coach Li, so many people are eating and staying, and it's not a day or two. This is not a small expense. Did you really think about it?" Downey reminded.

"I want to make it clear. This is affordable for me." Li Dai nodded.

"Well, since you are willing to solve the expenses, I will have no problem here." Downey sighed and secretly said in his heart: rich can really do whatever they want!
