Chapter 979: Keep moving Tap,
tap, tap.
There is a rope ladder under my feet, and my light footsteps move in small and orderly steps: middle, left, middle; one step forward, middle, right, middle; one step forward again.
Both feet must be in place accurately each time, with the toes touching the ground before moving to the next step, with both precision and speed, without any carelessness.
The continuous small steps are dazzling, and the eyes can hardly keep up with the speed of the footsteps. But if you close your eyes, you can feel the footsteps moving like a sewing machine, neat, even and efficient. The touch of the toes and the ground is like a dancing butterfly, light and graceful.
After reaching the end of a rope ladder, he paused with his left foot, held the racket tightly in his right hand, and swung it -
Across the court, Pelt was feeding the ball.
Push off the ground!
Turn around!
Swing!
Bang! The collision between the racket and the tennis ball made a loud noise, and the tennis ball flew quickly to the other side of the net.
On the opposite court, red plastic frisbees are placed as targets. They seem to be scattered in a disorderly manner, but are actually scattered in an orderly manner.
Each frisbee represents a landing point. They are not placed in every corner, but in different positions on the court, and there is no pattern to be found.
The purpose of this training is to emphasize control and landing point, but control is more important. When the feet are in a bumpy moving state, the center of gravity is unstable. The key is how to control the ball and use Gao Wen's brain to deliver the tennis ball to the desired target.
Pelt looked back at where Gawain's shot landed, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't relax.
"Tiptoe!"
“Keep light on your toes.”
"Use your calves, your core, and pay attention to the ball."
"Knees, feel the bounce in your knees, keep your toes and knees flexible."
“Don’t just practice hard, think, feel, and get your brain moving.”
Tap, tap, tap! On the other side of the court, after Gawain finished hitting the ball, he kicked his right leg and his body started again, returning to the rope ladder and moving to the other side.
Repeat the routine.
The essence of daily training is to repeat, repeat, and repeat again, repeating the same thing boringly. This is also an important reason why training is difficult. It not only requires physical strength and energy, but also perseverance. A little bit of slackness on the mental level may make it impossible to persist.
But Gawain held on well.
To be precise, he is not only good, but excellent. This is also the fundamental reason why Pert likes Gawain.
Attitude is everything.
After the US Open last year, there was a period of chaos, including Tobias's anxiety, so that Gao Wen's training was interrupted for a long time, which directly led to Gao Wen's poor condition for nearly two months. His overall competitiveness and confrontation power declined very obviously.
At this year's Australian Open, Gao Wen and the entire team learned a lesson.
Although invitations to off-site events are still numerous and pouring in from all directions, Tobias has strict controls on both quantity and quality.
Originally, Hugh Jackman invited Gowan to Los Angeles to attend a private Hollywood party. At that time, it was the public relations time for the Oscar awards season. Those private parties must have been full of stars and well-dressed people, but Gowan ultimately refused because he had no interest in these upper-class parties.
Jackman expressed deep regret for this, but fully understood.
"Next time, I hope we can meet in Los Angeles. It will be my honor to play tennis with you on the tennis court."
After finishing a series of promotional activities in Melbourne, Gawain went to Monte Carlo, where he shot the latest promotional film for Nike and accepted interviews from a number of top media, putting the final end to the promotional activities for his Australian Open victory before taking a short break.
It just so happened that Nadal's private yacht was docked in Monte Carlo, and Gawain was fortunate to be invited to go fishing with Nadal and enjoy a relaxing vacation.
Upon learning that Gawain was in Monte Carlo, C-Ronaldo called and invited Gawain to his home, but considering that the La Liga season was in progress, Gawain declined the invitation. Instead, Gawain was invited to the VIP box at the Bernabeu Stadium to watch the game.
With the witness of 80,000 fans in the stadium, Real Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 2:0 at home.
The night before, I was in Madrid feeling the enthusiasm and craziness of football.
The next day, my feet were already running wildly on the training field of UCLA.
After accumulating experience, Gao Wen slightly adjusted his rest and adjustment plan this time.
After a whole week of rest, Gao Wen has slowly started to resume training, but the pace is still not fast enough.
After just five days of adjustment, the holiday officially ended and daily basic training began to be put on the agenda.
So, when waiting to return to Los Angeles, the Australian season has been left behind, and it is time to prepare for the spring North American season.
Starting from next week, the final carnival of the first half of the hard court season will begin, and all players will return to the court one after another.
Take it step by step.
Advance every step carefully.
After experiencing the roller-coaster Australian Open, Gao Wen has slowly adjusted.
Today, only the third day after returning to Los Angeles, Gao Wen's batting feel and movement have basically returned to normal.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Pelt was very satisfied with this.
"very good!"
“Well done!”
"Next, the last group, speed up!"
"The fastest speed!"
"Speed up! Snap! Snap! Snap! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!"
As Pelt shouted, the rhythm of the high-fives continued to increase, and then you could see——
The dazzling footsteps accelerated again, comparable to the Lingbo Weibu, as if pressing the speed-up key, only a light and shadow could be seen, but the balance and stability were always maintained.
Push! Turn! Hit the ball. Done.
Bang! Pelt followed Gawain's shot and turned to look:
Hit the target accurately.
pretty!
There was a glimmer of satisfaction in Pert's eyes. "Rest for five minutes and adjust your breathing."
Gawain walked to the side of the court, grabbed a towel and wiped it casually, then raised the water cup and drank the water in small sips.
Even if you are thirsty, you must avoid swallowing large gulps, as that is not conducive to absorption and digestion. Therefore, cultivating the habit of drinking small sips of water to replenish energy is also a detail of the competition.
Especially after experiencing the hot, humid and dull hellish weather in Melbourne, the importance of these details to the peak showdown is further highlighted.
Drink water and take a walk to gradually slow down your heart rate.
"...The intensity of the entire training increased quite quickly, and I feel that my physical strength decreased quite quickly." Gawain said to Pelt.
Pert nodded. After all, the recovery training time was too short. The intensity increased all of a sudden. Although Gao Wen could handle it, the speed of consumption could not keep up. "I will adjust the training volume next, and focus on the gym in the afternoon."
Looking at Gao Wen's focused eyes, Pelt couldn't help but persuade him, "There's no need to rush. We are at a good pace now."
Gao Wen laughed out loud, "I never thought that I would hear you advising me to slow down my training. Martin, something is not right."
