Yanjing Training Center

Track and field training base,

Yang Zuyao sat on the stairs on the sidelines, staring blankly without focusing.

After the first round of training, he was a little tired, but he had already gotten used to this kind of fatigue. Even if he couldn't feel this whole body tired for a day during holidays or activities, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

He felt a little more confused. He thought about a lot of things in the past two days. He even reviewed his more than ten years of athlete career. He thought about a lot of things he had just practiced, and then thought about the past moments that made his heart beat.

Country, nation, honor, responsibility!

In the past, he was just a vague concept. At that time, he thought about representing the country, but in fact he didn't quite understand what the meaning of representing was.

Later, he finally represented the country and gradually understood these things, and then he realized that the representation was not that simple. He was just that trivial one. It was also from that time that he quietly cared a lot of his own responsibilities.

He cares about his teammates, he is willing to consider every teammate, the team and the overall situation. When considering problems, he is always willing to come from a higher perspective. With less than two years in the national team, almost most athletes regard him as a "little big brother" in the sprint.

He always felt that this was his right way, and he was willing to accept it. But after meeting a coach, the coach taught him and enlightened him so that he could treat things more clearly.

How to understand the heart? He was a little uncertain. But along the way, Yang Zuyao felt that it should be considered to be enlightened. But at this moment, he was struggling again.

It’s really like many people say, people who think they are smart and good at using their brains always like to worry about it from time to time! Yang Zuyao couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The Olympics are coming soon, and he won two A-marks and is about to realize his dream and enter the Olympic stadium. It is just that representative of the country! Universiade, World Youth Championship, World Championship, Asian Championships, and other countries have been considered to represent the country for more than once or twice. But he has never felt like this now. The Olympics are really different...

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, just like a coach, he teaches them with his level and knowledge, and strives to achieve their dreams and the dreams of the country.

The passionate young man who was unable to enter the training ground, the depressed young man who was full of talent but was ignored because of his age and innate weakness, and he and...

He always knew that the coach not only had a high level of coaches, but also had a high level of athletics. It had broken the national record shortly after he recovered, and it was not necessary to say the level. Even 200 meters and even 100 meters, he believed that the coach was definitely not inferior to his level. Moreover, the coach was young and just celebrated his 25th birthday, which was the real beginning of his peak.

Maybe if you run by yourself, the coach will get more honors now, and the benefits behind those honors are not needed. And it is definitely not as hard as it is now. Taking them and teaching them desperately, and even helping others can force the team to force him to take a vacation, which shows how hard it is! But why don’t you run by yourself?

"A person can only represent a period of time, and a group of people can represent a time! Our China does not lack one or two geniuses, but what we lack is a group of people leading the times..."

This is what the coach said when he occasionally asked about it shortly after the coach recovered. He always remembered that he also understood the coach's meaning.

The coach thought he could not compete anymore, so he chose to teach people, but when he could run again, he still chose to lead people. And he believed that now, it was just because there was no one in the 400 meters. If the athlete who was a part-time athlete had development potential once he appeared, the coach would free up his hands, and the result would be very obvious.

His thought at one point was that what the coach did was not right. But until recently, he found that he was thinking too simple!

At the Asian Championships, three national flags were raised high, that was China! In the indoor competition, 60-meter competition, there were three Chinese people in the top 5. The two national flags were raised at the same time at the award ceremony, and the foreigners shouted China.

He saw the true meaning of what the coach did. The first thing in front of our name is Huaxia!

The World Championships ended because of Zhao Lin, because of him, foreign media, and domestic media, many people were amazed at the miracle of the world champion and the emergence of the first person within 10 seconds. But what about China?

The United States, Jamaica, and a track and field powerhouses rely on not just one or two, but one or two people emerging one or two, which truly led the times.

"The coach can choose to achieve the dream of the country and the dreams of more people. Why can't I?!" After a few days, Yang Zuyao's heart became stronger and stronger.

"It's time to make my choice!" Standing up, Yang Zuyao looked into the training ground, and after just a glance, he went straight in one direction.

"Coach, I'm asking you for something!"

When he walked into the venue and looked at the coach running towards him, Yang Zuyao said.

After saying that, Yang Zuyao felt a sense of relief in his heart. The little bit of entanglement disappeared without a trace, and the things that he seemed to not quite understand gradually became clear!

"Sometimes people do need to take a step according to their own hearts. Maybe this is what the coach said to enlighten the heart..."

...

Training base office area.

In the conference room on the third floor,

Before the meeting began, dozens of coaches from various events of the Track and Field Corps gathered together in groups of three or five, whispering their own words, and occasionally a few depressing laughter came.

Chen Guobin sat quietly in a corner, Zhou Tong beside him whispered to him from time to time, and he only responded one or two occasionally, and he really didn't feel the same way he spoke now.

This is his first time to participate in the national team coaching meeting. The attendees were coaches at the supervisor level of key athletes in various events, or head coaches in the echelon like Zhou Tong. Thanks to Lin Mu and Zhu Kun's current performance, he was fortunate to attend as a coach without status.

This was a bit of affirmation to him. While he was a little happy in his heart, he felt more of the affirmation. Zhu Kun performed well. This time he almost ran into the A-mark in the 200 meters, and he had his contribution. But he knew that more of the one was from Lin Mu, and he...

Although Lin Mu had never looked for him, Yuan Guohua had talked with him. Now everyone knows that Yuan Guohua is Lin Mu's right-hand man, and is more important than Lin Mu's trust than another deputy Liu Ren. Most of the time, Yuan Guohua's actions also represent Lin Mu's will.

He heard from Yuan Guohua's words that he was not very satisfied with his performance at the moment. He seemed to have a poor training, but he lacked targetedness and planning in the arrangement.

In short, it is basically qualified, but it is still far from the required goals.

"Coach Chen, there is still one month left. Should I take Zhu Kun and us to train in Yanjing, or should I continue to follow Coach Lin to Xinzhuang?" Feeling that Chen Guobin was not interested in the topic of chatting, Zhou Tong asked Zhu Kun's question.

"Oh~ Stay in Yanjing. I have reported to Director Lin before!" Chen Guobin replied in a daze.

The itinerary has been completed, and athletes who want to participate in the Olympics will be led by Yu Weili, the deputy head coach, to Xinzhuang, Shanghai. As for those who have not participated in the Olympics, they will make arrangements, either to return to their registration place or stay in Yanjing.

Lin Mu's relay team naturally also wanted to go to Xinzhuang. However, after he considered it, he reported to Lin Mu that he would stay in Yanjing to follow the World Youth Championship training team. The World Youth Championship is now a chance for him to save himself. Yes, redemption, in his opinion, is like this.

"Okay, let Zhu Kun and Ye Hua be together!" Zhou Tong was very happy. In his opinion, Zhu Kun was obviously the key point in this World Youth Championship.

"Hi~ Actually, if we could plan it last year, we could have a relay event this time. Just follow the relay mode like your Huizhou Province..." Zhou Tong was also a little regretful. He got up too fast and had no plans for many things. Otherwise, he would definitely choose someone to play the relay event. The importance of the relay event is self-evident. Track and field competitions, short-distance opening, relay finale, and pressing the table, which shows the weight of these events.

"Coach Chen..."

I was about to say something, but Feng Yong's assistant walked into the conference room. Zhou Tong also stopped the conversation and sat up straight. The meeting was about to begin!

Holding the document in his hand and gently put it on the main seat, Feng Yong's assistant then whispered:

"Please sit down, the meeting begins soon!"

The circular large conference table sat in a while, leaving only two positions on the main seat and the left and right of the lower head. Looking at the empty seats, especially one of them, many senior veteran coaches couldn't help but feel a little dazed, which made them feel like they were different.

It seems like only one year...

They didn't let them sigh for too long. A few minutes later, Feng Yong and Yu Weili, behind them, Coach Hong, who was responsible for throwing events, Coach Lu, who was jumping events, and Lin Mu, the head coach of the sprint relay, walked in, and the conference room instantly became quiet.

Feng Yong sat straight into the main seat, Yu Weili and Coach Hong sat down on the left and right, and Coach Lu followed him with Coach Hong to start.

When he walked to the position, put down some of the materials in his hand, Lin Mu sat down calmly.

From the beginning of entering the door, he felt that many vague eyes fell on him. He could even think about the charm of those eyes. Not to mention that those people seemed to be a different world, he was not the same.

In this way, almost all the supervisors gathered in a year, and the track and field team only held twice last year. The first time, he sat in a corner and was assigned to leave his athletes without his knowledge.

The second time, he was still in the same corner, but at that time he was already qualified to make his own voice.

And a year has passed, and now he has sat in the top 5 and can make his own suggestions for many decisions in the team!

As if a strong gaze swept over from his side, Lin Mu turned his head and looked over.

What caught my eye was a kind smile on my face!

Sun Xing, who spoke last year, was looking at Lin Mu with a smile on his face.

With a slight smile, nodded slightly, Lin Mu withdrew his gaze.

Since Zhou Wei, he has made no achievements and has even devoted most of his energy to the camp. A person whose beliefs and responsibilities have been worn out by time.

"Ahem~ Let's start!" Feng Yong coughed twice, and announced that the meeting officially began!

"Today is the first full official meeting of this year. First, let's summarize the work of the previous period... In addition, the Olympics are coming soon. As the top priority of this year's team, we will discuss some things in advance..."

This is a matter of course. It was basically arranged at the end of last year. Nowadays, only some small meetings have been held, and most of them are the coordination of various projects. The plenary meetings that will be held at the beginning of the year are usually arranged today.

Because this year is the Olympic Year, all work will naturally revolve around the Olympics. At this time, the selection competition is over, and basically the situation of each event has become clear. From this time on, the final training and preparation will officially enter the agenda.

Of course, there is still an old topic, how to participate, how to organize, and who to join...

"Guide Yu..." A few simple sentences started, Feng Yong motioned to Yu Weili.

Yu Weili nodded and began to take over and preside over the meeting.

More than ten minutes later, the coaches of their respective supervisors made a speech and reported some recent training situations of key athletes. Of course, Lin Mu and his coaches of the relay team were no exception.

When Yu Weili spoke again, the atmosphere at the scene became solemn.

Lin Mu smiled slightly, feeling so familiar, it was the same last year. Because the next process was to discuss the participants, which was even more solemn than last year.

The Olympics is a global grand ceremony and a real core competition for the country. Only when athletes enter the Olympic stadium are they truly representing the country. This honor and responsibility cannot be solemn. Lin Mu can imagine that some small exchanges of interests that may have in the past will not be so easy at this time.

Yu Weili was also a little serious at this time and looked at Feng Yong, who nodded slightly. He had already communicated with Yu Weili about the general situation, meeting the standards and repetitions, and having already had a concept.

As long as it does not exceed the whole market, Feng Yong will turn a blind eye in some situations. Just like in previous sprint events, you will run with him when you go up. There is actually not much difference between whom you send, so it doesn’t matter if you take care of whom’s interests!

When he saw Yu Weili's seriousness, he also understood that he actually thought it was very interesting. Speaking of which, it was still a sprint, which made him a little confused about how to evaluate it. After working as the head coach for so many years, it seems that he and Yu Weili have a headache about sprint before every major competition. But he doesn't want to have a headache now.

Let the new leader have a headache first and look at Lin Mu casually, Feng Yong smiled secretly in his heart.

In fact, most events are still as usual, with nothing to compete. There are only a few people who can participate in the competition. They are qualified for the competition and there are not many competitions. Just report the quota directly.

From simple to difficult, Yu Weili spoke, and the relevant coaches led by the team, and the last one was the final plan. There are only a few people who can compete for gold and medals in the field racing field, and most of them have no controversy.

There was only one place to participate in the competition, but the strength was not much different in normal times, so it was obviously not so harmonious. So the raucous battle began!

It took more than half an hour, and only a few projects were held. All parties talked about their achievements, gave examples, and presented facts. With Yu Weili's coordination, it was almost settled. In the end, most of them were given senior and relatively stable athletes.

Even if some people are dissatisfied with each other, they can only endure the national honor. After all, when the strength is different, they don’t have the confidence to make trouble.

After Tiansai said that when he arrived at the track race, race walks, mid- and long-distance running, hurdles, the one or two-minute process was soon over. Sun Pingren, who was still in Europe, was not here and there, and there was no influence, and there was almost no dispute.

This is the final sprint event again.

"Next, the sprint event, coaches, let's discuss it. Lao Sun, you should come first..." Yu Weili waved his hand. After a while, he was really tired, and now he still had a headache.
To be continued...
