Chapter 8 Talking Hearts
School playground.
On the side of the basketball court on the concrete floor, on the ping-pong table made of bricks and cement. Xu Zhongqi had a serious expression, sat on the stage without saying a word, quietly looking at the playground and looking at the campus, his eyes appear sharp but sometimes divergent.
It has been more than ten minutes since he arrived here. Lin Mu was not impatient. He was not an active person, so he just spent time with an old man in a daze.
I also sat on the ping-pong table, basking in the warm sun and blowing the gentle wind, comfortable and comfortable.
Although he knew that time was precious and wanted to work hard to seize every minute, his time now was really worthless.
Xu Zhongqi looked at the playground and actually kept paying attention to Lin Mu. He didn't mean to be cold or play with some mentality. He just came here and felt a little touched for a while.
As a result, he was quite satisfied with Lin Mu, calm and not impatient. Even if a coach is just a physical education coach in the school, having a professional level is the most important thing, but without a good attitude, how can he succeed? Teaching these underage children sometimes requires patience.
"Xiaolin, I know how many children you trained. I saw it that day!" Xu Zhongqi said,
After a pause, he turned to ask, "But what is the purpose of taking them to practice? You know, there are many classes in the school now, so why don't you worry about affecting them?"
Lin Mu smiled and replied, "It's not a purpose. It's just that these children are a little talented, so he can't help but tell them to take them to practice. Their parents also agree that they are very motivated and make rapid progress!"
Xu Zhongqi did not comment and did not say much about this topic. He then said, "You recommend two children, but it is hard to say now if you haven't seen the situation. After all, Shao Yi is under 15, and he is 13 years old and 15 years old, and his physical fitness is much worse.
Although our school probably has no advantages, we should try our best to choose the best one, right? In this way, when we come here after school in the evening, we will give them a test. If the grades are acceptable, we will report their names. What do you think?"
Lin Mu was sure that the test was OK, as long as it was not directly rejected, so he nodded and said respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Xu, then I will bring them here after school in the evening!"
Xu Zhongqi waved his hand. It was nothing to do. Young Group B was not their strength. In fact, it was the same for everyone. It was not a good thing. No one would sharpen his head and rush in. There was not so many messy relationships about this.
"Kobayashi~ Are you used to being a teacher? I have also been an athlete. When I first came down, I felt empty-handed and I felt that I couldn't cheer up anything. It seems that you are not bad now!"
"Old Mr. Xu, it's been so long. No matter how unaccustomed you, you have to get used to it. You still have to live a life."
Lin Mu didn't say much, he would follow him wherever he said, and he was not a talkative person.
Xu Zhongqi nodded, and his mentality seemed to be really stable: "Looking at how you are now, you plan to be a coach in the future. By the way, you have a coach certificate, right?"
Lin Mu nodded, not knowing what he was going to ask, and didn't say anything.
"Kobayashi, are you interested in coming to the sports team to teach those kids?"
Lin Mu looked at Xu Zhongqi in a daze. He remembered that there were already three coaches in the sports team. There were only a dozen people, so I need another one?
"I mean, come and help me and be familiar with the situation..." Xu Zhongqi pondered for a while before continuing, "Xiaolin, I came not long after the school was established! I have been a physical education teacher in our school for more than 40 years, and now I am old! I can't do it!"
Lin Mu didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent and just listened quietly.
Xu Zhongqi continued, "When I came here just now, did you know why I was stunned?"
Lin Mu didn't ask for an answer, and said to himself: "I felt a little moved when I saw this playground. The leader said that he would develop the national movement and enhance the physical fitness of the people. This playground would be built at that time.
As a result, decades have passed. Except for the cement on these roads, the other things have not changed at all. Look, our school does not even have a special track that can be used. Even Ruxu No. 2 Middle School has a track of more than 200 meters, let alone Ruxu Middle School! Do you know how I feel?"
As he spoke, Xu Zhongqi became a little excited!
Lin Mu could only nodded. The school's sports facilities were indeed backward.
"The Education Bureau will not approve it, and the school's money is unwilling to be spent here. I have never made a fuss, so I have no shame to make a fuss! Our school's track and field events have always been lukewarm. There have not been many second-level athletes in so many years. No matter how high a person is, it has never appeared!
As for winning the results, it sounds nice. How many firsts can you win and then seconds in a county competition, but that is the first in the event that others don’t compete with. The other second, you have worked in competitive sports, and the second is the biggest loser! In the long run, how energetic can the school support it now?"
Speaking of this, Xu Zhongqi waved his hand vigorously.
"Schools are a place for teaching and educating people. There are some things that we teachers really can't say, but I still want to say. Now they say that taking the university is for the future, but so many people in a school can get into college every year with their ability to learn from cultural courses?
There are more children who graduate from junior high school! Shouldn’t we give children more choices? Even if we don’t make any name in the future, what’s better than having a good body?"
Lin Mu agreed with this, but a good body is really important. Some people who graduated from junior high school and did not get into high school, and most of them did not get into the exam. To put it bluntly, they may have less energy when they go out to do rough work.
"If we don't talk about this, it's because we teachers are not good at it. If we can teach a few children to represent our school, or even our county and our city to achieve better results, then what's there?"
"Xiaolin, let me tell you clearly. I have completely retired in the past two years. Old Zhou and Old Song are not the key coaches. Xiao Liu is quite active, but his major is really bad. If possible, you will come to take over my class in the future and bring our school together! I'm afraid that once I leave, the school's sports team will be gone!"
Lin Mu stared at Xu Zhongqi, a little surprised. Why did he suddenly think of taking over by himself? He didn't know how to answer.
Finally, he could only say honestly: "Old Mr. Xu, of course I am willing to go to the sports team to lead people, but I can't guarantee you how long it will take, I think..."
After hesitating for a while, he thought it was more appropriate to say it directly, so he continued: "I thought, I should still be a professional coach in the future. I think I may be of some use!"
Although Xu Zhongqi was a little surprised to Lin Mu's answer, he thought it was quite reasonable. He could see that this kid was full of energy, and it was not surprising that he wanted to be a professional coach.
"This is no problem! Xiaolin, come here after the county sports meeting. If you have a development in the future, just go there, no one will stop your future, right?" Xu Zhongqi smiled indifferently.
A professional coach, a young man, isn't that easy?
"Then, thank you Mr. Xu, I will do it with my heart!" Since everyone said that, he couldn't say anything else. Besides, he was just thinking of more contact points for people who could train, increase experience and achievement points, which are more important than anything else.
The matter was decided, and Xu Zhongqi did not stay any longer and waved his hand to leave!
As Mr. Xu left, Lin Mu did not stay any longer. He later informed the two children and asked them to adjust their condition and run well in the afternoon. It was also a good thing to be able to participate in the county sports meeting.
