Hearing this, Zhu Zhitao frowned again and sighed, "Head Coach, Coach He only treats swimming as a hobby and has no intention of developing it professionally. I talked to her before and told her that she couldn't stand the closed training. After all, she has a husband and children and can't leave her family."
"Huh?" Head Coach Wu was taken aback. "If that's the case, then it is indeed a bit troublesome."
"Yes, I'm hesitant," Zhu Zhitao said. "I'm worried that I'll be doing useless work and wasting my time."
Hearing this, Head Coach Wu smiled and said, "Even if you can't become one of our athletes, don't be so discouraged. Just based on this result, I'm going to go and see what kind of person can swim so fast."
The two drank and talked about He Tiantian's physical condition, which amazed Coach Wu.
The following morning, Head Coach Wu personally came to the competition venue, with binoculars around his neck, to carefully observe He Tiantian's every move.
Huo Yingjie and the children, Qi Xiaoyan and others also came over at this crucial moment.
Today, Jiang Wenwen tied red ribbons on the children's heads, with slogans such as "Champion" and "Victory" embroidered on them in black thread.
The little trumpet was being blown around by the children, making a loud whistling sound.
Head Coach Wu turned his head and looked at it, finding it amusing.
If there were always so many swimming enthusiasts, their swimming careers would surely achieve even greater success.
The match time is approaching, and everyone is waiting.
He Tiantian was ready, standing on her track, waiting for the starting gun.
A gunshot rang out.
The eight people jumped almost at the same time, but entered the water at different speeds.
"Beautiful," Head Coach Wu praised. His attention was on He Tiantian, and he noticed immediately that He Tiantian was the first to enter the water, and that her two slender legs were very powerful.
The movements were very standard and very fast.
Head Coach Wu was worried that he couldn't see clearly, so he picked up binoculars and observed every little movement, not missing a single action, especially the very sweet turn, which was clean and neat, with a surge in explosive power and speed.
Others who made it to the finals were not slow either, but compared to He Tiantian, they were a bit slow.
Some people even think that He Tiantian is a professional athlete who is deliberately joining in the fun.
The cheers from both sides grew louder with each of He Tiantian's movements.
He Tiantian won first place in all three events: the 100-meter, 200-meter, and 400-meter freestyle, as well as the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke and butterfly.
Guangna had a layer of brass on her medals, and she won several of them.
He Tiantian doesn't care about the ranking; she just really enjoys the process of the competition.
Once it's over, pack your things and go out for a big meal with your family.
Head Coach Wu went directly to Zhu Zhitao and said, "Zhu Zhitao, do you know He Tiantian's family? I want to personally invite her to join our swimming team."
He Tiantian's situation is different from that of the professional athletes in the team, so we cannot make arbitrary judgments and must treat her with sincerity.
He is now inviting, not summoning.
Head Coach Wu's main purpose in being able to get his position right was to persuade He Tiantian to join the swimming team.
Starting now, if you participate in the National Professional Swimming Competition next month and achieve good results, you can participate in the World Championships, and then you will have the opportunity to participate in the 1988 Olympics.
Zhu Zhitao nodded and said, "Yes, he is indeed a talented person. It would be such a pity if I tried to get him."
"Yes, we have to try no matter what." Head Coach Wu smiled, determined not to let such a good opportunity slip by.
Afterwards, Head Coach Wu chatted with Zhu Zhitao and learned more about He Tiantian.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Huo Yingjie specially prepared a room with a bookshelf inside, where he placed all of He Tiantian's medals.
"Isn't it a bit too much trouble?" He Tiantian smiled wryly. "These things are worthless, we can just find a place to put them away."
"How can that be!" Huo Yingjie retorted. "You worked so hard to get this, I'm going to keep it safe for you. By the way, I saw someone who looked like a coach observing you today. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will probably come to your house soon to invite you to join the sports team."
"Huh? So fast!" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise. "I wasn't ready yet."
"What preparations do I need to make?" Huo Yingjie smiled. "I'll just ask you one question: Do you like swimming and do you like competitions?"
He Tiantian nodded and said, "I like it!"
"That's good. Do what you like." Huo Yingjie laughed. "The kids are all grown up now. You should think about what you like to do and then do it. Don't worry too much about us."
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I've got it. If someone really comes looking for me, I'll negotiate with them. If they don't agree to my terms, I won't go."
What makes He Tiantian so determined is probably her desire to go home every day, which shouldn't be difficult.
However, if it's a training camp, then they'll probably have to act as a unified force.
As expected, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie didn't have to wait too long.
Head Coach Wu, led by Zhu Zhitao, personally came to visit.
Head Coach Wu is a native of Yanjing. Seeing how big the Huo family's mansion was, he knew that He Tiantian was no ordinary person. He would have to be more polite when speaking to her later.
Lu Wanxia poured the tea and tiptoed out.
He Tiantian sat on one side of the sofa, while Head Coach Wu and Zhu Zhitao sat on the other side.
"Teacher He, this is our swimming team's head coach, Mr. Wu. Head coach, this is He Tiantian, Teacher He," Zhu Zhitao introduced. He knew both of them, so he was the only one who could introduce them at this moment.
"Hello, Head Coach Wu," He Tiantian said. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
A universally applicable polite phrase.
Head Coach Wu smiled and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you. Based on the information provided by Xiao Zhu and my personal experience watching your match that day, I can confirm that you are a genius. I'd like to specially recruit you into the sports team. I'd like to ask if you are interested?"
He Tiantian smiled. Just as her husband had guessed, fortunately, the couple had discussed it beforehand, so they weren't in a complete panic.
"I really enjoy swimming and I also enjoy the process of competition," He Tiantian said with a smile. "But I should mention beforehand that I am already thirty years old. Even if I train and can reach the Olympic standard, I will be thirty-two in 1988. That age is considered very old in the swimming team."
"As long as you can swim fast, nothing else matters," said Head Coach Wu. "In order to achieve good results, we are willing to recruit talents regardless of their background."
