night,

Base indoor training hall,

It's already 10 pm.

The training hall with various training equipment and auxiliary facilities has been a regular place for athletes to step up their training at night since the beginning of winter training. In the past, even until 9 or 10 pm, the place was still brightly lit and lively.

Athletes, team coaches, and auxiliary service staff are always busy.

And today's place seems a bit deserted.

The Spring Festival is coming soon and the winter training is coming to an end. Most of the local players have already returned home. Today, only some people from the national team are still here.

More than 10 athletes of all sizes are distributed in the huge training hall, and they are trained quietly, with only the sound of equipment and movements that sound from time to time. Occasionally, during the training intervals, when they recover from physical therapy, several people will gather together to chat, which makes the place slightly cooler.

"Brother Yang, will the coach not come today?"

On the chairs that were leaning aside, several athletes from Lin Mu team were almost all sitting here at this time. The physiotherapists were standing or squatting seriously providing physical therapy services to the athletes, and they also tacitly adhered to their principles. Listen, watch, serve, and only speak without saying a word.

At this time, Zhao Lin felt a slight relief in his body, and then he glanced around the training hall and asked Yang Zuyao about the coach.

Hearing Zhao Lin's inquiry, Yang Zuyao movted his neck and said, "It should be here later?! The winter training is over soon, and the coach seems to be taking several other coaches to hold a summary meeting. There should be arrangements for us after the New Year next year!"

He is now the actual athlete leader, and the coach will communicate with him in some situations, so he needs to know more about general matters. For example, there may be training arrangements in the next section, such as some competitions and activities arrangements in the next section.

"Oh, there are fewer and fewer people, I feel...feel..."

Zhao Lin didn't know how to describe his feelings. In daily indoor and outdoor training, there were always many people around him wearing clothes, looking busy. When he was resting occasionally, he looked exciting, and even if he was looking for someone to chat and chat, he could find a target.

However, in recent days, there have been a large circle in the outdoor field and no one can see a few people, let alone training at night, which makes him feel a little lonely.

Yang Zuyao smiled and looked at the other people.

Athletes' training is boring, tired, and repetitive, and their track and field sprinting is recognized as the most boring and monotonous event in training. Therefore, for a lot of time, coaches will intersperse training events in different ways, or some training interaction arrangements.

Athletes generally seek some ways to relieve themselves, such as they always play jokes after training and relay. For example, Zhao Lin likes to chat with other athletes during practice intervals.

However, as there are fewer people, there are fewer goals. They are not collectively trained now, and they are different in terms of training items and tasks. Generally, there are not many opportunities to meet together during their respective rest periods.

In the last two days, they didn't raise the amount much. This gave them more opportunities to meet each other.

Seeing the brothers laughing, he could only shake his head. The longer the training period, the deeper his feelings were, but he could only nag a few words, and he knew nothing could do.

"Oh, it's going to be on vacation, I don't know what will happen after I go home!"

Zhao Lin's words rang again, and after hearing this, the few people felt a little complicated.

Their results this year are pretty good, they have made breakthroughs in individual events, and they won gold medals in relay. They have been making trouble for a long time ago. They have gained fame and interests. Although they are worse than coach Liu Xiang and Lin, they are not small. Even the most inconspicuous He Jun has gained some gains because of his identity as a formal member of the relay team.

It can be imagined that going home during the Chinese New Year will be a mess again. This makes them both have the joy of being paid attention to and value, and also have some unbearable troubles.

"Hey, you guys are so bored!"

Zhao Lin was a little "antised". Every time he rarely met the time to rest together, he said the most. Most of these brothers watched him "perform".

"Haha, aren't you listening to you?"

Yang Zuyao's voice was quite laughing, and others, including the physical therapists who were serving, couldn't help but smile.

"I had known that I would have asked the coach to agree when the Spring Festival Gala was invited. Then I would go to the big stage and be directed. I think you will say it or not!"

Zhao Lin smiled and imagined the picture in his mind, which must be quite interesting.

"What? Want to go to the Spring Festival Gala to perform for the people of the whole country?"

At this time, Chen Jianhai also interjected and joked, "There is still a chance now, isn't Liu Xiang going? If you want to join in, with your identity as the first person in China, the world champion and the second place in the Olympic Games, the Spring Festival Gala should be able to agree!"

Several of them smiled and said it was a joke, but in their opinion, the possibility was really great.

Zhao Lin was not angry about the jokes of several people. Instead, he felt much more relaxed. Training was boring, so it would be hard to endure if he didn't have some fun. As for the Spring Festival Gala, he was also joking.

Every year, when the competition ends, by the end of the year, the Spring Festival Gala will invite some athletes who performed well in the competition that year. For example, last year, he, Brother Yang and the badminton team were invited. However, they did not have time to participate in the rehearsal because of the critical moment of winter training. The Spring Festival Gala did not dare to let them go directly without rehearsals, and in the end they had to give up.

This year, the women's volleyball team and track and field trips were extremely outstanding, so they were naturally the top priority for invitations. The coaches, he, Brother Yang, and Chen Jianhai, were all in the invitations. But in the end, Liu Xiang went there, and their coach did not agree because they were too busy. They also refused with the coach.

It is of course a great honor to be able to perform in front of the people of the whole country, and it will greatly promote their fame and commercial value. But if the coaches don’t go, they will accompany them to train hard, what will happen if the coaches go.

Moreover, what the coach said makes sense. The stage does not belong to them. They want greater fame and honor. The stage can only be on the track.

"Oh, Xiao Jiang, come, come here!"

After laughing, Zhao Lin spoke again. When he saw Jiang Bing coming out of the equipment and preparing to rest next to him, he quickly greeted him loudly.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, Brother Chen, Brother Shen..."

Hearing the call, Jiang Bing came over and greeted several of the national team's elder brothers one by one.

"Sit down, your hands are okay?"

Yang Zuyao pulled over an empty chair, gestured to Jiang Bing with a smile, and asked with concern.

"Well, it's not swollen anymore, it doesn't hurt much if you don't move too hard."

Jiang Bing naturally moved his wrist, answered, and then sat down.

The wrist was injured. A few days ago, after he had a period of core strength training, he planned to arrange for more difficult equipment assistive training. However, at the beginning, he was a little uncomfortable and his upper limbs were not strong enough. When his body was pulled open, he didn't hold on to the movements, so he twisted it a little.

In recent days, he has not used the equipment used to train again. He is somewhat depressed and has delayed some training too accidentally. Fortunately, his hands should be getting better soon!

"Don't worry, the coach's training plan is usually formulated according to the limit you can bear. So, when you are training, don't be blind, you must first learn to adapt..."

Yang Zuyao carefully gave him Jiang Bing the details of the training. Jiang Bing nodded seriously from time to time. He was really memorizing it with all his heart.

He sincerely respects these national team elders who have no airs at all. He has been exposed to a lot of new training. Although he trains according to the plan, he also wants to understand it if he doesn't understand it.

Often, he would ask the coach of the guard, but the coach of the guard was sometimes not sure. He also often asked the coach, but the coach seemed too busy and he couldn't always disturb him.

By chance, he tried to ask Brother Zhao who was involved in the scene, but Brother Zhao gave him a detailed answer. He also took special care of him and asked him to go to them if he had any questions.

At first, he seemed a little restrained and didn't dare to disturb him too much. After all, who knew if he was polite, but after a few times he found out. They really had no airs and were a very good group of people. They were even easier to get along with than the so-called "big brothers" in his school, which made him feel very warm.

"Thank you, Brother Yang! I will pay attention."

"How do you feel? The winter training is over. Next year, when the coach is in Yanjing, you will probably be able to pass it. You usually have to rely on yourself. Can you do it?"

After Yang Zuyao's guidance ended, Zhao Lin continued to ask.

Jiang Bing is a college student and it seems that his path will not be the same as them in the future, but he still wants to care. No matter what, he is a disciple of the coach and he has a special closeness.

"The basic training is OK, the coach said that when it is almost the same after the New Year, I will concentrate on helping me with some surprise attacks. But after returning to school, the coach at the school..."

Jiang Bing was a little reluctant to speak, but no matter how good Coach Wei said it, it was not his official coach. After returning to school, he was not sure what the teachers in the school would think of his training plan now. Of course, he would definitely insist on following the coach's plan.

"Well, it's not bad. Be firm and don't give up!" Zhao Lin understood a little, but he didn't mention it, but nodded very "satisfied" to encourage Jiang Bing, "As for those talents, don't think too much. Talent is indeed important, but everyone has bright spots. Our talents are not good. I only ran for 12 seconds two years ago. Look, I'm not very good now!"

"Haha, Xiao Jiang, Zhao Lin usually speaks a little unreliable, but this sentence is correct. Be firm, believe in the coach, and believe in yourself! We are all waiting for you to go to the Universiade!"

"Old Chen, what's wrong with me? I'll talk to you..." Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows and was about to "get angry". But when his eyes turned a little, he saw a group of people coming in at the door, saying, "Enough rest time, training!"

"You guys are there, don't leave!"

Before he could set off, Coach Yuan's voice came over, "You guys, come here too..."

More than 10 athletes stopped their movements when they heard the sound and surrounded the coaches.

"It's going to be a holiday, the coaches have finished the meeting. What do you want to tell them?"

...

In fact, just a few minutes before the athletes talked about the topic, their coaches had just finished the meeting and rushed to the training hall without stopping.

These athletes were the last group of athletes who had not left and were about to go home on holiday soon. Even if the winter training was over, there were not many things that really needed to be explained. There were basically no major accidents in a winter training.

According to the training plan formulated, all departments have basically achieved the expected goals. In the past three months, the athletes have successfully completed their winter training reserves. The information they should collect in the national team is also similar.

What we have to explain is to let them pay attention to keeping their status during the Spring Festival and what they will face next year. The focus of their meeting is not here. Lin Mu led the main personnel of each small team under his team to say more about plans and summary.

After the winter training, his position as head coach of the sprint training team resigned. However, his identity as deputy head coach and relay head coach still requires him to perform his functions. He also has experience in how to do things.

From the first day of becoming a head coach, Yu Weili shared with him the experience of how to be a head coach of a project, and also told him that he needed to maximize his work based on his own situation.

In more than a year, from the head coach of winter training to the head coach of the relay team, two winter trainings, and a year of daily life, Lin Mu gradually learned how to be a manager of such a large team according to his own ideas.

The final analysis is just those points: designing, supervising, guiding implementation, analyzing, summarizing gains and losses, and then presetting the next step of the plan, repeating itself. Using small goals, gradually connecting them into larger goals.

Now Lin Mu's team has gradually become such a mechanism. His coaching team has spread to the next small coaching team and athlete team, and the entire operation has gradually taken shape.

Moreover, Lin Mu also knew that since Lin Wenyue reported to him a few months ago, he seemed to be consciously deepening the management involvement of his leading team.

With his influence in front of athletes and other coaches, his team now includes not only training and competition planning, but also involved in various aspects including logistics, assistance, scientific research, medical care and social activities.

With more personnel joining, there is greater influence and radiation, providing a lot of convenience for the entire team to move forward. Of course, there must be some discord in private. But at least in the current view, Lin Mu feels that he is gradually moving towards a good direction.

Lin Mu is not so addicted to officials. It is not that he has to take care of anyone in every detail, but he believes that a group of people with the same goal and direction of action can be more efficient.

He can lead them to complete training and competitions in all aspects, and help them with the pressure from superior leaders and social public opinion. He can also seek further development through further measures.

He hopes to gather more people together and work together to finally complete their careers and missions.

He turned his head left and right, Lin Mu glanced around the people around him, the coaches of the relay team, as well as the sprint coaches of other national teams, as well as the coaches of the young athletes who were called up later. There were even coaches of the guard who came over because of Jiang Bing, and coach Lu who came with Hu Ke and Zhang Meng.

He could not be sure whether he could continue with them, but he believed that all teams and collectives could always be perfectly tied together.

Talking about interests seems vulgar, but in fact it is the most real. Even the country trains athletes for the sake of interests, let alone other things. What the country needs is athletes to show China, show China's spiritual outlook and will qualities, which is interests. Interests are not just a little bit of money.
