Three coaches
"Yes, yes, you are the second sister." Wang Yu did not notice Qu Chi's indifference. After all, she used to be so quiet. "Your sister..."
"Wang Yu! Where have you been again?"
Wang Yu shuddered all over and left like a quail after being called out by her coach.
Only after Qu Chi completed a set of warm-up exercises did the coaches appear in her sight.
He Yuntong was followed by another unfamiliar coach. When he saw Qu Chi, he smiled.
Qu Chi realized that this might be the 400-meter coach assigned to her by the provincial team.
Of course she knew the original 400-meter coach, because there were very few 400-meter athletes in the provincial team, and that coach often acted as a physical coach to supervise their training. But now that there are 400-meter athletes, does that mean Coach Li is still in the 100-meter event?
He Yuntong said with a stern face, "This is Coach Liu Yueliu, a retired player from the men's team."
Qu Chi pursed his lips and said nothing.
The quietness in the air seemed not to be noticed. Liu Yue walked forward with a smile and reached out to pat her shoulder.
Qu Chi subconsciously turned his body and let his hand fall into nothing.
Liu Yue smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's a good thing for athletes to have a little temper."
Qu Chi clenched his fists and did not answer.
She looked up at He Yuntong, wanting to have a reasonable explanation, but no one explained to her.
"Okay, Xiao Liu, you will train with Qu Chi from now on. Qu Chi, train well."
He Yuntong turned and left. Zhou Xinwen did not come to the training ground today, perhaps she had other arrangements.
Qu Chi closed his eyes and calmed the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Liu Yue smiled and seemed to be in a good mood:
"The team probably considered that I'm younger and more compatible with the younger players. There's a saying that there's a generation gap between the two. Coach Li Chenfei is already in his forties, so he's probably worried that you won't have common topics. Besides, he's busy, too. Zhou Xinwen's situation is a bit more complicated. If you don't pay close attention to her data during her developmental period, it could affect her future career."
Qu Chi couldn't even smile politely.
Liu Yue put her hands on her hips and said nonchalantly, "Alright, you haven't received professional 400-meter training yet. Today, learn how to start on a curve."
Athletes must obey the coach's arrangements.
Qu Chi was upset that his coach was Liu Yue, but he could do nothing about it.
Of course, young coaches are not necessarily bad. Besides, Liu Yue has just retired, and male athletes' sports cycles are often longer than those of female athletes.
Maybe he is almost thirty this year.
However, it is true that Liu Yue’s coaching experience is almost zero.
Does he really know how to coach an athlete, especially one like Qu Chi, who has no idea about the 400 meters?
After being called back by the whistle at the third start, Qu Chi covered his eyes to ease his inner anxiety.
Liu Yue frowned and scolded, "Is your right leg weak? Starting on a curve also requires explosive power! I can't see your momentum at all, use your strength!"
Qu Chi returned to the starting blocks again.
I had done running training thousands of times before, but suddenly I felt tired after just three starts.
Is there something wrong with her start? Why doesn't she believe it? Last night, each start was smooth. She was looking for that starting feeling, but was stopped again and again by Liu Yue.
Is this correct?
With his hands on the ground, Qu Chi adjusted his breathing, and shot out at the moment the whistle sounded, and then was called back again.
Liu Yue's face darkened as she pointed at Qu Chi's nose:
"Have you ever learned how to run? Those in kindergarten are stronger than you. How can you be so limp? If you can run, run. If you can't, get out of sprinting as soon as possible!"
Qu Chi heard his own heavy breathing.
She didn't understand why they treated her like this?
Isn’t she a member of the provincial team? Won’t the honors she has won belong to the provincial team?
Because she couldn't figure it out, she even thought that maybe Liu Yue was not wrong, but she was too stubborn and misunderstood the treatment of the provincial team.
Maybe they were not unfair, it was just that she was too ambitious and couldn't even learn how to run.
Qu Chi's good mood yesterday seemed to be disappearing completely.
Liu Yue said again and again that she didn't understand what people were saying. Finally, Qu Chi squatted at the starting point, but did not start running after hearing the whistle.
She squatted there without making any noise.
Liu Yue: "Why aren't you running? Are you deaf? You're not following the coach's instructions. Are you trying to train passively?"
Qu Chi advised himself to be patient...
If she is really judged by the provincial team coach to be passive in training, she will most likely be expelled from the provincial team directly.
Qu Chi: "Coach Liu, I don't know how to start a curve. I need a demonstration."
Liu Yue sneered: "The athletes are lazy in training. Did you train for the 100 meters like this before? No wonder your results are so bad."
Qu Chi felt like her throat was blocked, unable to move up or down, making it difficult for her to breathe:
"Sorry, coach, I haven't been exposed to..."
"You're learning without any experience! I've taught you several times and you still can't learn. Are you trying to say that your brain isn't working well?"
Qu Chi raised her hand and smoothed her hair. She was not the only one training on the training ground. At this moment, no one dared to speak, but they kept looking over here.
The coaches didn't seem to think this was wrong, and no one spoke up for her.
After all, the coach is the athlete's teacher. Even if the teacher criticizes harshly, it is only a strict teacher who produces good students.
This is the view of most people today.
Qu Chi smiled and looked up at Liu Yue.
"Coach Liu, is it good for you if I can't achieve results?"
Liu Yue frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I will hurt you?"
Qu Chi: "Coach Liu, I haven't trained specifically for the 400m, but the national team coach has instructed me to switch to this event. Have you ever been on the national team in your career?"
Liu Yue was furious: "Is this the way you talk to the coach?! What? Is being selected for the national team so great? Our provincial team sends tons of talented people to the national team every year. Do you think you're any special?"
"I'm sorry, coach. I respect you a lot, so I wanted to know more about your achievements."
"Is your name among those talents being sent out? Have you ever set a national record in your career? Or, in other words, have you ever won a national-level competition medal?"
Qu Chi looked at him with a smile, and Liu Yue was shaking with anger.
No, no, no!
So what? Wasn't she assigned to him and noticed by the national team coach? He thought those people had misjudged her. How could such a disobedient athlete have a future?
Liu Yue laughed in anger: "Alright, you've been selected for the national team, and you look down on me as a coach, then you can practice on your own. I want to see what you can achieve!"
He took the whistle off his neck and threw it into the trash can.
Qu Chi didn't say another word, but just lowered his head respectfully until Liu Yue's shadow on the ground disappeared from his sight.
She straightened her shoulders deliberately, releasing the energy, and avoiding the inquiring gazes of others, she returned to the runway.
Without effective guidance from a coach, can she really be selected for the national team?
This was her only chance, but she only had less than a month.
Is what she learned in her dream really useful?
Qu Chi tried several times, but still couldn't integrate the smooth start in his dream into reality. He felt depressed and finally changed to other regular training.
At least she has to maintain her speed ability. If she gets faster every hundred meters, then her speed will certainly increase.
The morning training ended in a strange atmosphere. As soon as the coach said to take a break, Wang Yu, who loved to eat melons, came to Qu Chi.
"Qu Chi! Why doesn't your coach teach you anymore? Also, why is he so fierce? It feels like he has something against you... Oh, by the way, are you really going to join the national team? I'm saying, why did you suddenly switch events when you were so good at running the 100 meters? If I could join the national team, I'd even learn pole vaulting!"
Qu Chi packed his things: "Nothing, I didn't make the national team, the selection hasn't started yet."
Wang Yu looked around and saw no one was looking at him, so he whispered, "Do you know where this Coach Liu Yue came from? He used to be the only 400m runner on the provincial team. He's been running for ten years, but he never made it to the finals of a Grand Prix, let alone the national team."
The two went to the cafeteria to eat one after the other. Wang Yu chattered about the gossip she knew and expressed concern about Qu Chi's future.
"You said the coaching staff assigned you this kind of coach, are they trying to make things difficult for you? What if they don't give you a wildcard qualification for the qualifiers? Oh my god!"
Wang Yu was frightened by the tragic scene he imagined, and couldn't help but hug Qu Chi and shake him twice.
Qu Chi looked uncomfortable, and she finally reacted and apologized and let go.
As an athlete without any 400m results, Qu Chi can only rely on the wildcard qualification of the provincial team if he wants to participate in the Grand Prix race in October.
However, she was not overly worried about this matter. After all, the national team coach knew her name. If she could not even participate in the competition, everyone would know that it was the provincial team's responsibility.
If you do it too obviously, you will be held accountable.
