May 23rd is the day when all the tryout contestants will be present.
From when Su Bai led the team back to the national team from Yokohama, to when the notice of player selection was sent to various places, to when Su Bai gave the public list of tryouts, and finally all the tryout players were present.
The entire process took only 11 days, which is incredibly efficient.
On May 23, some of the players who arrived early had already rested for more than a day, and the slower ones had already rested for a night. Generally speaking, these tryout players are athletes who have been training all year round and have experience in participating in competitions outside. Of course, their ability to adapt and adjust their own conditions is still good.
At this moment, 60 people were standing in a training venue that Su Bai had come to with the national team alone. Most of them had a hint of excitement in their eyes, but a few had a hint of confusion in their eyes. They looked a little uncomfortable standing in the training ground.
In front of them, Su Bai and the members of the coaching team had already lined up.
Most of the tryout contestants present were seeing Su Bai for the first time, except for one person who had a hint of eagerness in his eyes after seeing Su Bai.
Su Bai also noticed that gaze while observing the whole audience. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and nodded to the other party, and then smiled and said to all the players in the audience: "Hello, I am the head coach of the national team's 400m event, Su Bai."
"Ah! Boss Su, we know you!!"
The howling startled the surrounding contestants, and then they saw a young boy having his mouth covered by another boy next to him.
Qiu Mingjie tried hard to push Zhuo Yutang's hand away, then he noticed the gazes around him. He didn't react at first, then he suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly stiffened. He awkwardly bowed slightly to the people around him and begged for mercy, then looked at Su Bai and scratched his head.
After seeing Qiu Mingjie, Su Bai immediately matched him with the name and photo in the information.
"Ahem, well, Coach Su, I'm sorry...I shouldn't have interrupted you."
Qiu Mingjie lowered his head and secretly looked in Su Bai's direction, and then was caught by the smiling Su Bai.
Seeing Su Bai's smile, Qiu Mingjie just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that Coach Su Bai seemed quite kind, unlike the roaring King Kong in their F Province Track and Field Team.
Before Qiu Mingjie could think too much, Su Bai smiled and said, "Qiu Mingjie from the F Province Track and Field Team, right?"
"Uh, ah, yes!" Qiu Mingjie stood at ease and was a little scared. He thought that this Boss Su was worthy of being Boss Su. He had a good brain and knew his name at first sight.
The athletes around looked at Su Bai with a smile on his face and a good-tempered look, and were about to say that Su Bai didn't seem to be as evil as the legend said.
As a result, Su Bai smiled and said, "I remember you. Your data is pretty good in this screening data." After a pause, Su Bai said, "Speaking of which, your first round of physical examination will be carried out soon. It just so happens that you can set an example for everyone."
…
?
Qiu Mingjie didn't understand what it meant. Was he going to teach him a lesson on the physical test?
Beside him, Zhuo Yutang whispered to him, "It means you go first."
"Hmm?" Qiu Mingjie blinked in confusion, then nodded and replied, "Oh, okay, I got it."
After saying this, Su Bai smiled and nodded, then continued to introduce today's tryout arrangements. After Su Bai finished explaining and introducing, and Qiu Mingjie was the first to finish the physical test, he was still a little confused: he just thought Su Bai was going to give him an unforgettable lesson during the physical test, but he just went through the normal physical test process in front of everyone.
After the test, two words popped up in Qiu Mingjie's mind: That's it?
Not far away, where the coaches gathered, Wang Ting smiled and said to Su Bai, "That Qiu Mingjie, right? I saw that stupid boy, and I thought you were going to teach him a lesson just now, but you didn't make any move."
Su Bai smiled and said, "They are still kids. It's no big deal if they yell a little. It will be fine if they are a little scared. Our players don't need to be so rigid. As long as they don't slack off during training and know how to abide by the team rules, nothing else will be a big problem."
In Su Bai's opinion, Qiu Mingjie's personality is very similar to Qiu Wen's. Both are the type of funny and cheerful children. It's okay if he really gets naughty. All he needs to do is to train him more within a safe range.
Or maybe it's because they are kids who grew up on the training ground and train every day, and sometimes they have strong limbs but simple minds, so there are quite a few players with a similar personality to Qiu Wen.
To be honest, Su Bai has a really good relationship with Qiu Wen after all, and seeing a contestant with Qiu Mingjie's personality, he seems quite friendly.
In addition to personality, Qiu Mingjie is also very similar to Qiu Wen in terms of talent.
Although we haven't been able to see Qiu Mingjie's potential data in the system yet, judging from the physical examination report submitted by the F Province team, Qiu Mingjie's various indicators seem to be very good, and some of the data are even better than Qiu Wen.
Therefore, before the athletes reported for duty, Su Bai had told the coaches that Qiu Mingjie was the player who needed special attention.
After Qiu Mingjie, the 60 athletes present, under the supervision of coaches in different items, completed the physical tests arranged according to their respective age groups and original events, and then were taken away by the national team staff to undergo physical examinations.
After the players were taken away, the coaches of each group collected the data. Su Bai took the data from each coach and quickly scanned it.
After a quick scan, Su Bai nodded.
In general, the physical test data of each athlete is consistent with the data submitted by provincial teams and sports schools. Occasionally there are some data fluctuations, but they are all within the normal range of fluctuations.
This result was also within Su Bai's expectations. After all, for athletes who want to be sent to the national team, there is no point in falsifying data. Once the data is exposed after being sent to the national team, the provincial team to which the athlete belongs will also be reprimanded and affected.
However, for Su Bai, the meeting just now and having all the contestants undergo physical tests were not meaningless.
First of all, this method allows the coaches in charge of each detail to quickly master how to use the form given to them by Su Bai.
Secondly, Su Bai also took advantage of this physical test to observe every contestant.
For athletes, physical fitness is certainly an important consideration, but physical factors are not the only factor that determines the final performance of the athletes.
Some athletes, although they have excellent physical qualifications, have character flaws. As a result, even with excellent physical fitness, they cannot withstand the training and competition pressure of athletes, and ultimately achieve nothing.
To be honest, Li Junhao was once such a representative. He almost ruined himself because of his overly fragile mentality. If it weren't for the bright spots in his character and Su Bai's correction, his career would probably have ended there.
An athlete’s career starts from the initial obscure training and learning, to gradual growth, emergence, and then to brilliant results.
In the meantime, you will experience countless setbacks, boredom, blows, glory, and flattery.
If you are not determined, it is very likely that after reaching a high position, you will fall harder than others.
Su Bai had no intention of finding or creating a perfect contestant, but he needed to make sure of each contestant's personality traits and some of the most basic qualities, or at least, there should be no negative personalities that would affect other contestants.
This period of trial training is also a period for Su Bai to examine the character of these athletes.
Of course, apart from this, there is no direct relationship between physical fitness and athletes' comprehension and learning ability of various techniques. The training during this period is of course also responsible for observing and understanding these athletes' learning of new techniques, the speed of understanding skill improvement, their talent for body control, and so on.
In short, Su Bai divided the content he wanted to examine into countless forms according to his own needs. He did not require the coaches to make subjective judgments, but only required them to record various objective data.
After Su Bai scanned the data and handed it back to the coaching staff, he said to the coaches, "Tonight, let's have a meeting in the new building. I will share with you the practical ideas of these data and the reasons why the data content is designed in this way."
During this tryout, Su Bai was not only selecting athletes, but also considering them. He also turned the athlete screening process into a complete coaching guidance course, sharing more of his own ideas with the coaches in the team during the practical process.
After Su Bai finished explaining some things to the coaches, everyone waited for a while, and the athletes who were taken for physical examinations returned to the training venue one after another.
One of the contestants returned to the venue first, and his eyes kept sweeping over Su Bai's position from time to time. Finally, when Su Bai looked up and his eyes met his, he smiled happily, and then silently mouthed the three words "Brother Xiaobai" to him.
After seeing this, Su Bai smiled and nodded to him. After thinking for a moment, he called people to a corner of the gymnasium.
"Brother Xiaobai!"
Following Su Bai to the edge of the gymnasium was one of the tryout athletes, Jing Feibai, who was 18 years old and a competitor in the 100-meter sprint.
After seeing Jing Feibai, Su Bai also smiled and rubbed his head: "Yeah, you've grown taller."
Jing Feibai's main event is the 100-meter sprint. A few years ago, his sports school organized students to train with the S Province Track and Field Team. At that time, the young Jing Feibai knew Su Bai.
Because both of their names contained the word "Bai" (Bai), he felt that Su Bai was particularly friendly and he always called him "Brother Xiaobai". Even though Su Bai's personality was much more dull than it is now, it did not stop him from liking Su Bai.
This is probably the fate between people.
Later, after the joint training ended, Jing Feibai returned to the sports school with the team. He also asked for Su Bai's contact information and would chat with Su Bai on WeChat from time to time. However, there was a big age difference between the two of them, and their training times were also different. In the past few years, Su Bai also had to balance his university studies while training, so there was always relatively little communication between the two.
This time, Su Bai was a little surprised to see Jing Feibai's name on the list after the initial screening. However, after seeing his physical fitness test reports, he still took him in and planned to give him a try.
Today is the first time the two meet again after many years.
