Chapter 5
The sudden voice startled all three of them. Why was Pei Dingshan here? !
Pei Dingshan nodded calmly to them and said, "Sorry, I just happened to hear it."
Jiang Yuan seemed to be hesitant to speak - Coach, this is such a coincidence.
Wang Pengfei, who was standing next to Pei Dingshan, also greeted them with a smile, then pointed to the cafeteria window. Jiang Yuan and the others then realized that they were sitting near the coach's window.
Pei Dingshan did not explain too much, but turned his attention to Su Yu again: "How about it? Since you are interested in becoming professional, are you willing to train with me?"
Su Yu stared at Pei Dingshan for a long while before suddenly asking, "Why me?"
——Because our Brother Pei has high hopes for you!
Wang Pengfei, who was standing nearby, was about to speak when he noticed Pei Dingshan's eyebrows slightly raised. At his barely noticeable shaking of the head, Wang Pengfei stopped talking.
He also realized that although this kid named Su Yu had the idea of developing professionally, he was actually still hesitant in his heart.
They work in the provincial sports team, and have seen a lot of children and parents like this. If you tell these children or parents that "your child is talented", the parents may think you are fooling them, or they may think that "my child has good talents, but he or she may not necessarily go into track and field".
After all, track and field is not really a very outstanding or profitable event in competitive sports, so parents have to compare prices and try every possible means to find out if there are better and more promising events that coaches may like for their children.
As for children with this mentality, they are usually the more sensitive type. You can't be too hasty and say "I believe in you". You have to let the children calm down little by little and follow your training.
In short, Wang Pengfei didn’t understand these things when he was a student in his early years. Later, after seeing more and more, he gradually became a big liar.
He knew that Pei Dingshan had immediately noticed that the child named Su Yu was sensitive, so he signaled him not to speak so plainly in one breath.
However, Wang Pengfei secretly shook his head in his heart - as coaches, they are actually most afraid of such sensitive players. After all, in competitive sports, in addition to talent, psychological endurance and self-regulation ability are also very important qualities.
For example, being frustrated in a competition, being unable to break through the current technical barriers during training, being unable to adjust the competitive state before the competition, being suppressed by the opponent's momentum and unable to perform at full competitive state when facing a strong enemy, etc.
Athletes have to face too many psychological problems throughout their careers, so when they select players, they often prefer those who look rougher and more durable. Otherwise, if someone is too psychologically sensitive, it would be difficult for their coaches to educate them because they dare not hit or scold them.
Anyway, from Wang Pengfei's perspective, he doesn't like to choose kids like Su Yu because they are difficult to raise.
Pei Dingshan did notice the hidden wariness in Su Yu's question, so he said calmly: "I have a project that requires the cooperation of players with no basic skills, preferably those with poor physical conditions."
"A comparative study on the selection of competitive sports - exploring the direct impact of physical fitness and sports performance."
Wang Pengfei:? ? ?
etc!
Wow, Wang Pengfei felt that he had been well trained in the past few years in the provincial team, and he was also good at fooling those students and parents who were preparing to apply for the youth team.
But now looking at it this way, wow, what a good player!
With his limited skills, can he compare with his brother Pei's mouth?
Noticing Su Yu's resistance, he opened his mouth and brought up a new topic, which seemed quite realistic.
Wang Pengfei couldn't help but applaud his brother Pei in his heart. He was awesome, really awesome.
Following Pei Dingshan's answer, Su Yu also slowed down from his original state of being like a furious kitten.
Pei Dingshan then said calmly: "I will set up a training schedule for you that is the same as that of professional athletes, and improve the content of my research by comparing your athletic performance with that of the control group."
The increasingly detailed content made Su Yu gradually relax. He stared at Pei Dingshan for a long time, as if confirming something, and finally responded with a sullen "OK".
He had thought about it for a long time, why did Pei Dingshan choose him?
Is his talent really that good?
...Perhaps his choice was the only wrong one in Pei Dingshan's coaching career, but fortunately, he rejected Pei Dingshan at the beginning, which made Pei Dingshan's coaching career less flawed.
Now, the question that had troubled him finally had an answer in Pei Dingshan's reply, and Su Yu's heart seemed to fall back to reality - Pei Dingshan did not choose him because of his talent, but because he happened to need a control group candidate to cooperate with him in the research project.
For others, this might be a disappointing answer, but for Su Yu, Pei Dingshan's answer is more in line with "objective logic".
After getting Su Yu's affirmative reply, Pei Dingshan nodded slightly, making it impossible to tell how he felt. After Su Yu gave him the affirmative reply, he just turned to Zhou Yuang beside him.
"My research requires a two-person team for comparison."
There was only this sentence, but Zhou Yuang, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Coach Pei, I do!"
"Um."
Pei Dingshan nodded calmly, saying only "Stay after the morning training", and turned around and went to the coach's breakfast supply window with Wang Pengfei.
It was not until Pei Dingshan left that Jiang Yuan looked at Su Yu with some concern: "Xiao Yu, you..."
Su Yu raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Yuan: "Brother, I want to try."
Growing up, Su Yu and Jiang Yuan had always treated each other like brothers. As soon as Jiang Yuan uttered the word "brother", he lost his strength.
He really didn't know how to persuade Su Yu because he was stared at by her. After all, he had always given in to Su Yu since he was a child. He had never said no to Su Yu's requests. So now he didn't know how to make Su Yu give up this idea...
After Su Yu looked him in the eye and said, "Brother, I want to try," Jiang Yuan was defeated on the spot.
Jiang Yuan sighed deeply: "Okay, okay, okay, okay, you are the ancestor and you have the final say - Oh, when we return from summer camp, if you get sick, my parents will force me to have a mixed doubles match with you."
He took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket: "Let's call Uncle Su and Aunt Lin first?"
Su Yu refused: "Let's talk about it after the summer camp is over."
Seeing that the little ancestor was determined to make the matter a done deal, Jiang Yuan could only sigh: "Okay, then I'll sacrifice my life to accompany you... But Xiaoyu, let me tell you first, no matter what kind of training you do, you have to focus on your body first. If you feel uncomfortable and can't bear it, just tell me. Coach Pei wants to do a control group experiment, so he can't just ignore the lives of the control group players, right?"
This time Su Yu nodded and did not refuse.
Jiang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Su Yu would become stubborn and insist on training according to the coach's instructions regardless of his physical condition - if that were the case, he would take him home even if he was despised to death by his little ancestor.
When the two of them had almost finished talking, Zhou Yuang interrupted and said, "Don't worry, Yuanzi. Coach Pei knows what's going on."
Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly: "I'm not worried that Coach Pei doesn't know what's going on. I'm worried that my ancestor is too stubborn."
Hearing this, Su Yu frowned and looked at Jiang Yuan. After a moment, Su Yu threw him three words: "Not as stubborn as you."
Jiang Yuan snorted: "Yes, yes, I am the most stubborn."
The three of them sat down again. Zhou Yuang was still a little bit uncontrollably excited. He didn't expect that it was only the first day of summer camp, and he had already achieved his summer camp goal.
He couldn't help but smiled at Su Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, thanks to you - I have a feeling that I must have borrowed your light today!"
After all, it's just a control group for an experiment. In this provincial sports team, it's hard to find athletes with poor health, but those with great health are everywhere!
However, Zhou Yuang had a vague guess in his mind. He felt that Pei Dingshan would look for Su Yu not just to find a simple control group.
His observation skills have always been sharp. In addition, his goal for the summer camp was to be able to train under Pei Dingshan, so he also paid attention to Pei Dingshan during the morning training. If his feeling was correct, Pei Dingshan had already taken a fancy to Su Yu during the previous morning training stage.
What he had said to Jiang Yuan and Su Yu before, 'Xiao Yu has good talent', was not nonsense. After all, the event of sprinting places great emphasis on body elasticity - better body elasticity can help athletes prevent injuries, and at the same time, good body elasticity can help athletes improve their running efficiency.
He once saw a research conclusion that for the 100-meter sprint, among all the various muscle strengths, muscle elasticity accounts for the highest proportion. For an athlete, good body elasticity is definitely a very important talent.
In short, Zhou Yuang guessed in his heart that Pei Dingshan chose Su Yu not just to serve as the control group for the research project.
He didn't quite understand why Pei Dingshan said that, but since Coach Pei said so, he wouldn't argue with the coach.
Su Yu did not take Zhou Yuang's words to heart. He knew that even if he rejected Pei Dingshan, Pei Dingshan would still accept Zhou Yuang as his disciple.
He didn't want Zhou Yuang to take credit for the achievement that didn't belong to him.
"Coach Pei originally had his eyes on you."
Seeing the serious look on Su Yu's cold face, Zhou Yuang couldn't help but chuckle, and reached out to rub Su Yu's head when he wasn't paying attention: "Hey, what our little ancestor said is right. Who am I, Zhou Yuang? An absolute genius! I definitely don't need to rely on others to be accepted by Pei Dingshan!"
Su Yu looked at Zhou Yuang's laughter, pursed his lips, and said nothing more.
Although he had unexpectedly agreed to Pei Dingshan, he couldn't help feeling irritated after doing so - he didn't know whether he could really persist in the high-intensity physical training after agreeing to Pei Dingshan and making a different choice from his previous life.
Does he really have the ability to follow Pei Dingshan and climb to the top step by step, like Zhou Yuang in his previous life?
He wanted to try, but was uneasy about the outcome.
Jiang Yuan, who was standing by, saw Su Yu's hesitation. He raised his hand and rubbed Su Yu's head, smiling and said, "Don't be afraid. Since you've agreed, let's give it a try."
After a pause, Jiang Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "I'll go with you too!"
Su Yu was stunned when he heard this.
Jiang Yuan stroked his chin and said, "Didn't they say there would be a test match on the third day of the summer camp? I'll try my best to sweep the high jump and long jump - and then a coach will probably come and pick me up, right?"
"Hey, then our dormitory will be awesome. It will be the only dormitory in the entire summer camp where all students will have extra training!"
At this point, Jiang Yuan looked at Su Yu staring at him and smiled awkwardly: "Well, let's just set a goal first. It's still uncertain whether it can be achieved. If it doesn't work, Xiao Yu, you can't laugh at me."
Su Yu looked at Jiang Yuan scratching his head in embarrassment, calmed down, and said to him seriously again: "You can."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll borrow the good words from my little ancestor!"
***
After breakfast, Pei Dingshan and Wang Pengfei returned to the coaching office of the provincial sports team.
In the office, Wang Changan, the leader of the sprint team, saw Pei Dingshan and Wang Pengfei coming in, and waved to them: "Xiao Pei, I heard that you have a good seedling in mind? Who is it? Is it Zhou Yuang?"
Pei Dingshan shook his head: "No."
Wang Changan was a little surprised: "If it's not Zhou Yuang? Then who is it?"
Pei Dingshan said the name that surprised Wang Changan: "Su Yu."
"Su Yu?!"
Wang Changan was stunned and said, "Is it Su Yu, the one whose health is so poor that his parents called us to ask for his care when he signed up for the summer camp just to come to the summer camp to exercise?!"
Beside him, Wang Pengfei smiled and said, "Hey, Second Uncle, do you remember Su Yu very well?"
Wang Changan glared at Wang Pengfei unhappily, not wanting to pay attention to him, and continued to look at Pei Dingshan: "Xiao Pei, are you serious?"
Pei Dingshan nodded: "Yes."
Wang Changan: "You think more highly of him than Zhou Yuang?!"
"yes."
"hiss……"
Wang Changan took a breath and said, "But that kid doesn't have any basics at all..."
Pei Dingshan was very calm: "There will be a camp opening test match the day after tomorrow, and a camp closing test match 40 days later - after 40 days, everything will be clear."
Wang Changan was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed: "You kid... now that you mention it, I can't wait for the final test match in 40 days!"
"Oh, by the way, there is also a camp opening test match, right? Then let's wait for the camp opening test match the day after tomorrow. I will also go and see what's so special about this kid Su Yu!"
