After the Asian Games, logically speaking, Su Bai should not have anything to be too busy about in the 400m event. But in fact, after he returned to the national team, he officially took over all the hosting work of the 400m. For a while, even though there was a dedicated team leader to handle administrative matters in the project, the matters that he needed to handle due to his teaching position had piled up into a mountain.
As for the women's team, after entertaining the members of the women's team that day, the girls of the women's team had already become associated users under his system. In order to ensure that his previous judgment was correct, he re-sorted the relevant information of the women's team members according to the information provided by the system, and only then was he completely relieved.
However, the situation of the women's team is different from that of the men's team. These girls are already competitive enough, and Su Bai does not need to find players from any top teams to stimulate them. What he needs to do is to maintain their strong fighting spirit while slowly transforming their training from relying on intensity to pursuing training efficiency and quality.
Otherwise, according to the current training method, they have clearly accumulated powerful strength in their bodies, but they cannot use it. This is a bit too wasteful. Moreover, although Coach Zheng's coaching style is for the good of the women's team members, the current training method is indeed too much of a burden on their bodies...
Su Bai rubbed his forehead while looking at the list in his hand.
This is a list of candidates for the Youth Olympic Games reserve team. All the athletes on the list are reserve Youth Olympic athletes who are currently training at the National Athletics Team training base.
It is called a reserve team because the overall scale of the Youth Olympic Games is not large. In the track and field event, the total number of participants is no more than 600 people. Therefore, the country will be very cautious when selecting participants. Although these Youth Olympic athletes in the reserve team have already passed the domestic Youth Olympic selection, not all of them will be able to go in the end.
According to the information Su Bai learned from Pei Jinan, the key events for the national track and field team's preparations for this Youth Olympic Games are men's and women's race walking, women's shot put, women's hammer throw, women's javelin, men's triple jump, men's long jump, men's high jump, etc. The focus of preparations is more on field events. As for track events, since the hopes of winning gold and medals are not great, whether to select athletes and how many athletes to select are still under discussion.
Although the best solution is definitely to send more players to let these young players experience the intensity and level of international competitions earlier, there are actually some other considerations involved, which is not something that coaches like Su Bai are concerned about.
What Su Bai can do is actually to look at the information of these Youth Olympic athletes, and then select those who he thinks have potential among these young athletes. The team will then judge based on his choice and consider whether to select them as athletes for this Youth Olympic Games, or to absorb them into the national team for trial training.
In this Youth Olympic Games athlete list, there are only two athletes each in the men's team and the women's team. Because there was no consideration of selecting a team for the relay race, Su Bai only has a list of 6 people in total. The other two are not in the 400-meter event. They are two young athletes in the 110-meter hurdles who were entrusted by Lu Shengbin to observe and select.
Judging from the data on paper alone, these Youth Olympic reserve athletes who are only 16 or 17 years old have already achieved good results. The PB results of the two boys in the 400m event are both within 47.50 seconds, and the PB results of the two girls are around 53.70 seconds. However, these are only PB results. Judging from the average results, the fluctuations are still a little bit large.
After looking at the data in his hand, Su Bai made some preparations, then stood up and walked towards the Youth Olympic Training Base - he planned to take a look at the on-site training situation of these children first.
When Su Bai arrived, it was around two or three in the afternoon, and the athletes were training hard.
Because Su Bai came alone and made very little noise, he did not attract anyone's attention. He was only wearing a simple T-shirt and sweatpants. After arriving at the field, he stood under a tree at the side of the field, quietly. At first glance, people who were not familiar with him would never have thought that he was the coach of the national team.
After arriving, Su Bai did not greet the coaches of the Youth Olympic Games first. He planned to take a look at the training situation of the players first, so he stood under the tree for more than half an hour.
It was not until about half an hour later that a child who stopped to drink water discovered Su Bai.
"Hey! Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? But you look a little familiar..."
The boy who rubbed against Su Bai was about 193 cm tall. Because he was tall and still in puberty, although he trained a lot and ate a lot, he looked like a tall and thin pole. However, seeing him lift up the hem of his sports T-shirt to wipe the sweat, it can be seen that although he was thin, his body was full of muscles and bones, and he looked very well trained.
Su Bai blinked and smiled at the child. He recognized the tall boy as one of the qualifying team members for the 110-meter hurdles, Qiao Chumu.
This kid is not very old, but his level in the 110-meter hurdles event is indeed quite good. His current result is about 13.60 seconds. If we compare it simply with the results of the youth competitions during the same period, Qiao Chumu's result is even better than Cui Luoheng's.
Completely different from Cui Luoheng, this kid seemed very outgoing and his personality was somewhat like Qiu Wen.
Seeing that Su Bai just smiled and didn't say anything, Qiao Chumu touched his chin, looked around Su Bai, and started talking to himself: "Why don't you say anything? Are you shy? You look so gentle, are you a reserve player for the Youth Olympic Games? Oh, let me tell you, we are all players, there is nothing to be shy about. If you are shy, I will protect you later!"
?
Su Bai just smiled, and before he could speak, Qiao Chumu started to talk. Su Bai smiled and shook his head: "I am not a member of the training team this time."
Qiao Chumu blinked: "Ah? Isn't it? Are you a member of the national team? A staff member? I can't tell, you don't look a few months older than me..."
Su Bai looked at the child with amusement: "Then... maybe it's because your eyesight is not good?"
Qiao Chumu immediately frowned: "Nonsense! How can my eyesight be bad?" Then the child looked at Su Bai curiously: "But you are not a member of the training team, so why have you been standing here for half an hour?"
Su Bai answered very honestly: "I'm selecting team members."
?
Pick team members?
These three words went through Qiao Chumu's mind for a while, and then he was silent for a few seconds. He looked around Su Bai again, and then he said with a shudder: "Wait, you are the coach of the national team... I think you look familiar... What the hell... Boss, are you Su Bai?!"
? ? ?
Qiao Chumu's reaction made Su Bai a little confused. He didn't know when he became a big shot, but he still nodded: "Yes, I am Su Bai."
Qiao Chumu and Su Bai were making quite a lot of noise, and the coach who originally wanted to call Qiao Chumu back to training also noticed Qiao Chumu and a strange figure under the tree.
"Qiao Chumu! What are you doing here? Why don't you go back to training?!"
The coach of the Youth Olympic Team's 110-meter hurdles was originally Qiao Chumu's head coach. Qiao Chumu was usually a bit naughty, and he was used to scolding Qiao Chumu. At this moment, his voice was as strong as ever. After a vicious shout, he turned his gaze to Su Bai who was blocked by Qiao Chumu.
Wow, who is this?
Looks a little familiar?
Qiao Chumu was a little excited at this moment. He turned around and looked at his coach: "Old Sun, Old Sun! This is Boss Su Baisu!!!"
puff.
Is it Su Bai?
Sun Yangyu took a closer look at this moment: It’s true!
That unfortunate kid Qiao Chumu spends his free time browsing forums and Weibo, and has learned a lot of weird catchphrases. It's okay that he calls Su Bai "big brother" in private, but why is he calling him that in front of everyone now?
Sun Yangyu was suddenly a little embarrassed, and immediately stepped forward to shake hands with Su Bai: "Coach Su Bai, Chu Mu's personality is a bit jumpy, but he is a good kid, sorry, sorry, please don't mind!"
Su Bai immediately smiled and said that it was nothing. Qiu Wen, Cui Luoheng and others had no taboo in addressing him. It was just because he retired and became a coach that his seniority had risen rapidly.
On the other side, Zhang Lei, the head coach of the 400-meter event, also noticed the commotion here, and immediately came over to greet Su Bai. The players on the scene now knew that the national team coach Su Bai had arrived. Obviously, he came to observe their training situation or to select players.
And the one who came to pick people was Su Bai!
As members of the track and field team, they may not remember what Su Bai looks like, but they know all of Su Bai's achievements over the past six months.
For them, Su Bai can be said to be a legendary name.
There was some chaos at the scene for a while. The four athletes in the 400-meter event and another athlete in the 110-meter hurdles were visibly tense. Only Qiao Chumu was still smiling and talking to the teammates he knew about the scene when he just discovered Su Bai.
Sun Yangyu and Zhang Lei realized that staying on the scene would affect the training situation, so they discussed with Su Bai. The three of them said goodbye to the players present, then turned around and left the scene, preparing to go to a quiet place outside to have another chat.
"Coach Su Bai, I just heard from Chu Mu that you are planning to select players?"
When the three of them arrived under a big tree outside the training ground, Sun Yangyu couldn't help but ask the question first.
Su Bai nodded: "Yes, the two coaches should also know that I am currently the head coach of the national team's 400m. The current situation of the 400m team is okay, but the subsequent echelon construction must not be neglected, so I am preparing to select some players to try out with the team."
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up when he heard Su Bai's words. Su Bai meant that he must be selecting athletes for the 400-meter race.
Players are likely to qualify for the national team's trial.
Sun Yangyu was a little disappointed when he heard that it was a 400-meter trial, but he still asked, "Coach Su Bai, are you not going to train the 110-meter hurdlers anymore?"
Su Bai smiled and said, "My main focus at the moment is definitely on the 400-meter event. I took over Cui Luoheng for some other reasons..." After a pause, Su Bai continued, "But this time, Coach Lu of the 110-meter hurdles also asked me to observe the 110-meter hurdles together. I will communicate my judgment to him later."
Hearing this, Sun Yangyu's eyes showed a hint of joy - of the two 110-meter hurdlers he coached, although Qiao Chumu was a little too naughty, he had great talent and potential, so it should not be a problem for him to win Su Bai's favor.
The three of them had a brief conversation, and Sun Yangyu and Zhang Lei both looked very happy.
At the end of their words, Sun Yangyu and Zhang Lei looked at Su Bai with a little trepidation.
"Coach Su Bai."
It was Sun Yangyu who spoke up: "In addition to the 100-meter sprint, will there be quotas for the 400-meter and 110-meter hurdles in this Youth Olympic Games?"
Su Bai looked at the two people's anxious expressions, but this time he couldn't give them a direct answer: "This is not within my scope of responsibility, and I don't have any relevant information for the time being."
After hearing Su Bai's reply, Sun Yangyu and Zhang Lei could only reluctantly thank Su Bai.
Su Bai thought about it and said, "Don't think too much. The real growth and performance of the players will not change in this Youth Olympic Games. Since they are here for training, we should train them well and make sure that this training will have the desired effect. That's all."
Sun Yangyu and Zhang Lei nodded after hearing this, and then the three of them said goodbye.
When Su Bai left the Youth Olympic training venue and returned to the 400-meter training ground, Qiu Wen, who had just finished a set of events, saw Su Bai and rushed to his side. He was about to ask Su Bai pitifully why he only prepared delicious food for Cui Luoheng last night, but he ended up asking casually - "Xiaobai, aren't you coming to the office? Did you go somewhere else just now? 】
Su Bai nodded: "Yeah, I just went to the Youth Olympic training ground."
!
Qiu Wen's face suddenly became nervous: "Xiao Bai...you are going to choose a concubine so soon...ah no, are you choosing new team members?"
Su Bai looked at him with a smile on his face. "Yes, but he is not a regular player. He is probably just a talent reserve for future team building. At most, he is here for a trial. The national team has detailed rules for selecting permanent players. The kids from the Youth Olympic Games are still a long way from being officially selected for the national team."
“Oh…” Qiu Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still shook his head and sighed: “Alas, the Yangtze River’s back waves push the front waves forward, and the front waves really have to work hard to avoid being beaten to death.”
"Okay." Su Bai heard this and patted Qiu Wen on the shoulder with a smile: "^^Then Qianlang should train hard. In this national championship, try to get another PB."
? !
Qiu Wen's eyes widened: "Xiao Bai, that's not what you said to Ah Heng!"
Su Bai patted Qiu Wen's shoulder again: "^^Because you still have great potential for improvement."
?
Although Qiu Wen was silly, his mind was surprisingly flexible at this moment. He translated this sentence, which roughly meant: Because your grades are poor.
…
…………
………………
Qiu Wen immediately covered his chest: "Xiao Bai, you have changed, you are no longer the Xiao Bai of the past!"
Su Bai smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, your rest time is over, don't forget what I told you, you must strictly abide by the training standards and rest time."
Qiu Wen glanced at Su Bai melancholy, but turned around quickly and immediately started the next set of training.
That night, in the small group of three people having midnight snack, Qiu Wen let out a sad sigh.
Qiu Wen: [Alas, we are still at the right age, but His Majesty Su Bai is already looking for younger beauties. This world is so cruel...]
Cui Luoheng: [………………]
Wang Shen: […^^ Although you are right in a sense, I suggest that you watch less palace fighting TV dramas. It really affects your IQ. 】
