It was not until Su Bai sent Cui Luoheng away and closed the door of his room that he suddenly realized - for some reason, there seemed to be something wrong with the way Cui Luoheng got along with him?
Do athletes of this age normally act like this to their coaches?
Thinking of this, Su Bai was a little hesitant, but when he thought about the fact that there was a guy like Qiu Wen in the team who hugged him and cried every day, Cui Luoheng's behavior pattern was... maybe normal?
After Cui Luoheng left, Su Bai thought about it and picked up his schedule again and sorted out the schedule again.
In fact, this list had been repeatedly added to, deleted from, and modified according to the status of each player during the winter training period. In the original plan, Cui Luoheng still had some Asian-level competitions, but after the end of this Asian Championships, these competitions were directly eliminated by Su Bai.
The real reason why he did it so absolutely was because Cui Luoheng's current condition was not stable enough.
Cui Luoheng's technical adjustment from eight to seven was successful, and this technical adjustment also led to a big step forward in Cui Luoheng's overall condition.
It can be said that the seven-step hurdle attack technique in the stage before the hurdle is very suitable for Cui Luoheng, making him more proactive in the process of attacking the hurdle.
Generally speaking, the seven-step and eight-step hurdles are not consistent with the rhythm of the surrounding athletes, so athletes are more likely to be affected by the rhythm of other athletes.
Cui Luoheng does not have this drawback at the moment. On the contrary, because of his stable rhythm in attacking the hurdles, other players around him are more or less influenced by him.
All these are good signs, but the only problem is that Cui Luoheng has only competed with others in the Asian Championships so far.
Although he maintained a good form in the Asian Championships, it was clear from the day of his final that by the second half of the game, no one could stimulate him.
Not only did Cui Luoheng look confused after the final that day, but the most intuitive result can also be seen from the system data - after the final of the 110-meter hurdles of the Asian Championships, although Cui Luoheng won the Asian Championships, his competitive state did not improve but declined.
Fortunately, the competition was over. If there was a 110-meter hurdles competition the next day, Su Bai was sure that Cui Luoheng would not be able to run a time under 13.30 seconds.
Cui Luoheng's condition is not yet stable. If we want to stimulate him to reach a more stable high competitive level, we must increase his opportunities to compete with opponents of higher levels.
If at this time, Cui Luoheng is allowed to return to China to compete, or continue to play around in Asian competitions, it is very likely that it will affect the development of Cui Luoheng's own abilities and the activation of his state.
It was for this purpose that Su Bai assigned Cui Luoheng a series of world-class competitions, allowing him to compete with top players as much as possible.
After the team members returned from the Asian Championships, except for some additional changes in Cui Luoheng's competition plan, the remaining players and competitions basically remained unchanged as originally planned.
For Su Bai, in the next period of time, in addition to taking a week or so to give lectures to the coaches who come to the national team to participate in training lectures, he also has to prepare for the World Athletics Relays which will be held in Yokohama, Japan in mid-May.
This relay race will be held on May 11th and 12th. This race will determine some of the relay qualifications for next year's Tokyo Olympics.
On the second day after the Asian Championships, Pei Jinan informed him that since the 400-meter relay race had performed well, he would definitely receive new tasks in the World Athletics Relays.
Originally, the national team's task here should have been to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in the men's 4x100m event, but based on the 400m relay results of one gold, one silver and one bronze at the Asian Championships, this time, perhaps the General Administration of Sport will hope that the 400m team can fully qualify for the Olympic relay in all three events.
Pei Jinan's worry was not just a fantasy. Just two days after the national team members returned, the General Administration of Sport issued a new task requirement for the Yokohama World Athletics Relays through the Athletics Administration Center - 4x400m relay, striving for second place and third place.
This means that the runners of the 400m relay team will have to adjust their competitive state as much as possible in the next period of time, and strive to achieve good results in the relay competition in May. This requirement is quite stressful for Su Bai and the members of the 4x400m relay team.
After all, the main players of the 400-meter relay team, such as Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Li Junhao, Chen Yada, and Lin Yao, still have their own individual results to pursue.
Originally, without such clear task requirements, Su Bai could let them focus on their individual competitions as much as possible. However, after the specific tasks were issued, the pursuit of individual players' performance and the pursuit of the overall team's performance needed to be newly coordinated.
Just like now, in order to ensure that everyone is in good condition for the competition on May 11 and 12, Su Bai must cancel the IAAF Challenge Jamaica Station originally scheduled for them to participate in on May 4.
Faced with such a change, Su Bai did not hide it, but called together the members of the relay team and directly conveyed the new task requirements to them.
After Su Bai finished relaying the mission of this World Athletics Relay Competition, before he could say something to reassure people, Zhang Ziyi smiled and answered on behalf of all the team members: "Got it."
Su Bai was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew that these contestants should support his work, but when he saw Zhang Ziyi and the others respond so quickly, he was still a little stunned.
As if noticing Su Bai's surprised look, Zhang Ziyi laughed first: "Coach, obeying the national team's mission arrangements is also our responsibility."
Not only Zhang Ziyi, but even the carefree Qiu Wen, the rebellious Li Junhao, or the women's team's Chen Yada and Lin Yao, had no objection to what Zhang Ziyi said.
The mission of the national team is higher than the individual pursuits of the athletes. This seems to be a deep-seated understanding of every member of the national team. National honor and personal glory coexist. This has also become the purest understanding in the hearts of these athletes who have grown up in the system since childhood.
Seeing everyone's calm and natural expressions, Su Bai suddenly laughed and responded with an "OK".
He was very fortunate that everyone in the team always maintained such a simple, pure and passionate heart.
Soon, in the following period of time, the members of the 400m relay team began to devote themselves to the relay training of men's 4x400m, women's 4x400m and mixed men's and women's 4x400m.
Among these events, based on his previous results in the Asian Championships, Su Bai finally set the goal of striving for Olympic qualifications in the men's 4x400m and the mixed 4x400m.
In the women's 4x400m event, Chen Yada is the only one on the team who barely has world-class individual 400m performance. Although relay does not simply depend on the individual performance of all players, when the individual performance of the entire team is lower than the average performance of other international teams, it is a pipe dream to rely on Chen Yada alone to make up for the team's performance.
In addition to preparations for the 4x400m event, the seven-day national track and field coach training series of lectures, with Su Bai as the lecturer and the theme of "Explanation of Coaching Ideas in Track and Field Training", will officially start on April 22.
Starting from April 20, coaches from provincial teams across the country who had registered for the course arrived at the National Track and Field Team Training Base in City B one after another and moved into the temporary dormitories prepared by the national team.
Su Bai also met Jiang Dongjian and others who came from the S Province Track and Field Team to attend the class. In addition to Jiang Dongjian, his master Zhao Heping was also on the list of people who came to register for the class this time.
After Su Bai received his master and Jiang Dongjian and other coaches from the S Province Track and Field Team, everyone including Zhao Heping was very moved.
"Master, Xiao Jiang, welcome!"
After Su Bai met his master and Jiang Dongjian, he greeted them earnestly. His master Zhao Heping did not reply directly, but looked Su Bai up and down seriously, and then said with emotion: "Okay, okay, okay, oh, you disappeared as soon as you arrived in B City, and you didn't even go back to S Province for the New Year. This time I finally see you."
Zhao Heping smiled and said, "Your master's wife told you to chat with her via video when you have time. We haven't seen each other for so long, I don't know if you have gained or lost weight."
Hearing his master say this, Su Bai suddenly felt ashamed. He was not used to interpersonal communication. Even when facing very close relatives, he was not used to greeting them too intimately. Most of the time, he would just say hello with a simple phone call or WeChat. Once he got busy, he would often forget even these.
When he thought of this, he nodded seriously and said, "I understand. I will definitely say hello to Master's Wife later."
Seeing Su Bai's serious look, Zhao Heping wanted to pat Su Bai on the shoulder as usual, but after extending his hand, he retracted it. He no longer used the attitude he used to treat his juniors. He looked at Su Bai for a long while before showing a gratified smile on his face: "Xiao Bai, you've grown up!"
The word "grown up" not only refers to Su Bai's growth in age, but also to his now completely different aura from the past. Just standing here, although looking young, he already has a completely different feeling from Jiang Dongjian, who is also from the S Province Track and Field Team and follows behind Zhao Heping.
Calm, reliable, even though he is young, the current Su Bai, even if you introduce him to people who don't know him, after being surprised, the first reaction may be "he does have the aura of a national team coach."
Su Bai's achievements over the past year are naturally the reason for Zhao Heping's emotion - today, Su Bai has long been one of the prides of the S Province Track and Field Team. Of course, it is also Zhao Heping's greatest pride in his coaching career.
