The competitive state and the psychological state of athletes may sound very mysterious, but for coaches and athletes, these are things that must be understood thoroughly.

During the past two months of training, Su Yinsheng and Zhao Changhe have actually been trying to get a feel for Su Zhe's competitive state so as to make corresponding adjustments to the training plan so as to properly adjust Su Zhe's competitive state before the big competition.

But what surprised them was that when they applied Su Zhe's personal condition, which they estimated through the peak graphs of daily training, to the actual sprint test, Su Zhe's condition was always better than they expected. The deviation values ​​in training and actual tests made them a little confused, but after a period of exploration, they also had a preliminary curve graph template for Su Zhe's competitive condition, and they were waiting for subsequent verification and adjustment.

As for his mental state, since he had been in training and competitions for a while, they had seen Su Zhe's persistence in winning and his hard work in training, and they had never thought there was anything wrong with this state.

If he hadn't been injured and had to take a sudden break this time, perhaps this problem would not have been exposed so early.

Su Zhe is currently in a state of over-excitement before the game.

The reason for this situation is that Su Zhe himself has an overly strong desire to win and a strong motivation to compete.

Su Yinsheng knew in his heart that Chen Zhi's injury had a significant impact on Su Zhe. Chen Zhi was his best friend since childhood, and he naturally knew how much responsibility Chen Zhi had always shouldered.

After Chen Zhi was injured, there were still some trolls on the Internet who insulted Chen Zhi mindlessly, which made Su Zhe realize the difficulties behind the title of the country's number one sprinter.

If Su Zhe did not have the ability to help Chen Zhi at this time, he might only consider helping and accompanying Chen Zhi in other ways, but he happened to have an extraordinary talent in the 100-meter sprint.

Su Yinsheng knew without a doubt that his silly son must be thinking, "Brother Xiaozhi has such a heavy burden. If I have the ability, why can't I help him share the pressure?" When this idea took root in his heart, he would no longer be satisfied with his current training volume and competition results, but would begin to have a clear goal to pursue, such as running to the Olympic standard.

But the problem is that although he does have extraordinary talent, the time he has returned to training is too short, and the entry standards for the Tokyo Olympics are known as the most stringent entry standards in history.

The entry standard for the men's 100-meter sprint is set at 10.05 seconds. Among the current active athletes in the country, only Chen Zhi has the ability to run into this result and has a real record of achievement.

Under such circumstances, even with Su Zhe's already extremely fast progress, he would definitely not be able to achieve results that would satisfy him in a short period of time.

With a strong desire to win, he still couldn't achieve his goal. At this time, other people might choose to slow down, reduce their goals, or even give up. But for Su Zhe, the word "give up" does not exist in his vocabulary.

Su Zhe would only think that he had not been able to achieve this result because of his lack of training. With sufficient training, he would be able to continue to improve his performance and reach this standard.

This idea itself was not wrong, but he was too anxious about the time limit for achieving his results, which made his mental state more and more tense, and even caused anxiety during this vacation.

For Su Yinsheng, this was purely Su Zhe's own problem - lack of competition experience was also a very important reason for this situation.

In the absence of competition experience, athletes are prone to misjudge their on-the-spot conditions and competition results, which require a certain amount of competition experience to better adjust.

Su Yinsheng guessed that another hidden reason was that perhaps his silly son, when he failed to run well enough, felt guilty for not helping Chen Zhi share the pressure earlier.

Because of excessive obsession, and lack of clear self-awareness of one's actual situation... commonly known as having no AC, one must fight for every game in the competition, not knowing the importance of urgency, and thinking that one is a perpetual motion machine on the field...

In short, as a coach with many years of experience, Su Yinsheng basically understood Su Zhe's current psychological problems and the reasons for the problems after talking with Zhao Changhe and his wife.

If he were to say, Su Zhe's problem is actually not a big deal. Being overly excited before a game is much easier to deal with than those players who are always in a cold and rational state, or those players who are nervous and panic before a game.

We just need to sort out this mental state with him and adjust the tense and excited mental state to the competition, then Su Zhe's competitive state will also be a qualitative leap.

So after seeing Su Zhe on the Athletics Management Center's list of key athletes to watch, Su Yinsheng was still complaining, but he felt somewhat fortunate in his heart.

More competitions and more events are just the right medicine to adjust Su Zhe's current condition, giving him more opportunities and better easing his current mental state.

As Su Zhe's competition experience gradually increases, Su Yinsheng can constantly arrange phased advanced goals for him. Through the phased changes in goals, he can also alleviate his anxiety that he cannot achieve the highest goal in one go.

When Su Yinsheng returned home with the notice from the Athletics Administration Center about the key athletes to be observed and the notice for the men's 100-meter sprint and 110-meter hurdles events in the World Championships Challenge, Su Zhe was accompanying Su Wanqin to watch those family ethics dramas that made Su Yinsheng's scalp tingle.

Su Yinsheng threw the notification document into Su Zhe's hand unhappily, then slowly sat down on the sofa and began to enjoy his leisure time after get off work.

After taking a glance at the documents in Su Zhe's hand, Su Wanqin revealed a slightly relaxed smile.

Although she has secretly done a lot of psychological counseling for her son in the past few days, if she wants to completely improve his condition, she still needs the solution proposed by Su Yinsheng - participate in more competitions.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Yinsheng glanced at Su Zhe's eager eyes and knew in his heart that this kid was getting excited again. He was afraid that he would want to start mindless training again.

Sure enough, after seeing the notice and the competition notification, Su Zhe hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My foot injury has almost healed. Today is the 17th, and the World Championships Challenge will start on the 21st. I plan to return to the team tomorrow to do some adaptation training..."

Su Zhe was a little nervous at first, fearing that his father and mother would reject his request, but he didn't expect that they didn't say much. His mother only reminded him not to get too tired, otherwise it would affect his performance in the subsequent competition.

His father, Su Yinsheng, pointed to the document in his hand and asked him to turn to the last page - a brand new adaptive training plan was placed at the bottom of these notification documents.

Compared to previous training schedules, this adaptive training schedule, which only covers two days of training, is much more detailed than previous periodic training schedules.

Including training items, repetitions, sets, the training purpose of the item, and the degree of training considered to have achieved multiple percentages of training goals and effects, all of these are recorded in great detail on the form. It can be said that almost everything the coach is thinking about is broken down and put into this form.

Looking at the contents of this form, Su Zhe was slightly stunned, but then he realized that his father Su Yinsheng had also discovered his psychological problems. The detailed explanations on this form were to allow him to more clearly understand the effectiveness of each training session and allow him to continuously accumulate a sense of accomplishment in training to offset his anxiety.

For a moment, Su Zhe felt an indescribable complexity of emotions. Finally, he stood up and gave Su Wanqin and Su Yinsheng a hug each.

They didn't say anything more; that was the tacit understanding between parents and children.

The next day, after a five-day rest, Su Zhe returned to the training hall of the S Province Sports Team. After greeting his teammates, Zheng Jian and Zhao Zhixuan, Zhao Changhe had already arrived at the venue with the new adaptive training plan.

In fact, it was just pre-match adaptation training and there was no need to be so serious about it. However, Zhao Changhe and Su Zhe were very serious about this two-day training which had the dual functions of recovering and adapting to the game.

Starting from the warm-up, Su Zhe meticulously executed every detail on the schedule, including 4x30m starting practice, starting training, aerobic running, 4x100m relaxing stride running, 6x50m dragging weight running...

Su Zhe had already memorized the training objectives and effects of the sub-items in the plan, and he tried his best to make each training session the best it could be.

After only 5 days of rest, Su Zhe's familiarity with the track quickly returned to his body during two days of training.

During these two days, he not only adjusted his condition, but also completely relieved his inner anxiety - he did not forget everything on the training ground because of the short break.

Two days passed in a flash. On the 20th, Su Zhe, Zhao Zhixuan and Zheng Jian, accompanied by his father Su Yinsheng, arrived at L City, the venue of the World Athletics Championships Challenge.

Unlike City G, where the national championships were held, City L was not originally a city with a track and field atmosphere. This city did not even have a strong sports atmosphere.

However, in this city where the sports atmosphere is not strong, a first-class domestic sports brand has been cultivated.

This well-known local sports brand in L city formed a football team a few years ago. The team performed well in national competitions, gradually cultivated local fans, and also made L city smell the potential of the sports market. They hope to gradually build the city into a major sports city and develop the city's sports economy.

In the past two years, the city has built the L City Comprehensive Sports Center to high standards, which also shows L City's determination to explore the sports market.

Applying to host this year's World Championship Challenge is also an attempt by L City to continuously explore and cultivate the sports market. The local enterprise in L City that has cultivated an excellent team has also sponsored this World Championship Challenge, hoping to take this opportunity to further expand its brand awareness.

Perhaps because this event has a wealthy sponsor, before this trip, Su Zhe and his group even received branded unified sportswear sent by the organizer before the game.

When Su Zhe received the clothes, he was a little confused. He seemed to have heard of this brand called Kuang Biao before? ? ?

After arriving in City L on the flight prepared by the event organizer, Zheng Jian couldn't help but sigh - after participating in so many competitions, this was the first time he encountered an event organizer that did not require athletes to pay for their own food and accommodation, but also provided free air tickets and branded sportswear.

You know, in previous competitions, athletes often needed to pay a certain amount of food and accommodation expenses before the game.

With a relaxed attitude, Su Zhe and his group, wearing branded clothing from the event sponsors, walked to the airport exit. However, they never expected that when they reached the exit, they found that there were many reporters holding guns waiting in front of them.

"Ah? What's going on? Is some celebrity coming?" Zheng Jian looked at the short gun at the exit in confusion, feeling a little scared.

After carefully looking at the reporters waiting at the exit, Zhao Zhixuan also showed a funny expression: "Okay, who cares about celebrities? They are waiting for us."

"Ah?" Zheng Jian looked at the group of reporters at the airport exit in confusion - as expected, these guys all looked very familiar, and they all seemed to be reporters specializing in sports news from well-known sports newspapers or related news channels.

Zheng Jian stared blankly at his teammates and coach, not understanding what was going on.

Su Zhe, who was standing by, finally understood what was happening. The sponsors of this tournament were determined to create some hype for this World Championship Challenge. These reporters waiting outside the airport were probably just a small group. In the limited time of the competition, there would probably be constant hot searches and news.

Thinking of this, Su Zhe could only rub his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Ah, it's Su Zhe and Su Yinsheng!"

The reporters standing guard at the airport exit all had sharp eyes. Although Su Zhe was still some distance away from them, they had already prepared their equipment and were waiting for them to come in for a close-up.

"What the hell... so many reporters..." Zheng Jian couldn't help but feel a little numb when he saw these scenes. "Coach, what should we do?"

Su Yinsheng rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Okay, what else do we need to do? Let's go!" As he said that, Su Zhe and his group walked towards the group of reporters at the exit.
