Almighty Coach

"Philip is the favorite to win the 400-meter event, but he only finished sixth!"

"It's only sixth place, this result is really too bad!"

Many spectators at the scene watched the game because of the fame of "Blade Warrior", but Philip's performance disappointed them.

At the finish line, Philip looked confused. He looked at the results displayed on the big screen. Today, his speed was more than a second slower than the first place.

"Why did you run so slowly today!" Philip shook his head in disappointment. He looked at the champion who was celebrating next to him, and walked silently towards the athlete's aisle.

A heavy feeling came from his legs. In fact, the pair of leopard-style blades weighed much less than normal people's legs, but at this moment he felt it was difficult to walk.

Philip couldn't help lowering his head and looking at his prosthetic limbs. At this moment, he could clearly feel the existence of this pair of prosthetic limbs.

"Even though I can walk and run like a normal person, these are not real legs after all!" Philip suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Steven came down from the stands, went to the players' locker room, and found Philip.

Philip leaned back in the seat, his face full of irritability.

"In a small competition of this size, I came here just to win the championship, but in the end I only got a sixth place! Damn it, I was in such a bad state during the competition!" Philip clenched his fists a little angrily, until now , he still didn't realize the root cause of the game's loss.

"Barron, it's just a small game, you don't have to worry about it so much." Steven handed Philip a glass of drink, and continued: "Maybe the opponent in the game is too weak, you can't get excited at all. And for athletes , it is impossible to perform at your best in every game, and it is normal for one or two games to be in poor form once in a while."

Even though Steven said that, deep down he was just as irritable as Philip.

Because Philip's performance is directly related to the number of sponsors.

The reason why the sponsor chose Philip was not only his inspiration, but also his achievements. The United States has no shortage of disabled people who can serve as inspirational role models, but Philip is the only disabled person who can beat able-bodied people in sports.

If Philip is unable to defeat athletes with able-bodied limbs, then he is no different from other disabled athletes, at most he can be regarded as a better disabled athlete. He will lose the attention of the media and the public, and the sponsors will leave him.

"I hope the result of this game will not affect the signing of the sponsor we just negotiated!" Steven began to pray in his heart.

...

Randy Blake rushed into Dai Li's office with a tablet in his hand.

"Lee, I looked this up at the Athletic Association, and Baron Phillips just finished sixth in a race in New Mexico. And it was a small race, and there were no top players, but even the In this way, Philip still loses." Blake said, pointing to the tablet.

"Oh." Dai Li nodded without showing any excitement.

"Hey, buddy, give me some feedback!" Blake yelled instead.

"What's the reaction? It's expected." Dai Li didn't even raise his head, and was focused on making a training plan for a client.

"I'll give it full marks for pretending!" Blake pouted, turned and walked out of Dai Li's office.

As soon as Blake went out, Dai Li couldn't help but opened the website of the USA Track and Field Association and found the athletes' results of that competition.

"It's more than a second slower than the first place, and the first place result is not outstanding. Without the athlete patch, Philip's score has dropped so much, which is beyond my expectation." Dai Li slightly Shaking his head, according to his understanding of track and field events, although Philip's result can still dominate the competition for the disabled, it is a relatively poor result in the competition for able-bodied people.

"Philip must be very frustrated now, but for me, this may be a good opportunity. There are not many opportunities to step on the most famous AP training center in the United States."

...

The AP training center has many branches in the United States, and the AP training center in Los Angeles is just one of them. David Mills, as the person in charge of the AP training center in Los Angeles, still has to follow the instructions of the headquarters.

At this time, David Mills was on the phone with headquarters.

"Mills, the game in New Mexico yesterday was just a small game, but Philip's performance was not very good. He only finished sixth. You should know what this means, right?" The voice on the phone was very stern .

"Philip has just come to us for training, and he must not be very used to the training environment. Moreover, the new training plan we have arranged for him will take a certain amount of time before it can show results. Now our coaching staff and Baba Len Philip is still in the running-in period, I believe that after the running-in period, they are familiar with each other, and Philip's performance will definitely improve significantly." Mills explained.

"I hope so!" The basis on the other end of the phone continued with a very serious tone; "Mills, you must know that as the most famous physical training center in the United States, our peers regard us as a benchmark, and even more so. Doing is the biggest competitor, so we have no friends. I believe that in the entire North American region, every physical training center hopes to step on our shoulders to climb to higher places, and in fact, over the years, it has really There are many physical training centers who have tried this, but they all failed! No one can step on the shoulders of giants! So I don’t hope that someone will succeed in the future, and I don’t want to see other training centers take us Think of it as a stepping stone! Do you know what I mean?"

"I understand, sir." Although it was across the phone, David Mills said with a straight face.

"Very well, you have to remember one thing, we are the leader in this industry, so we cannot fail, any failure is not acceptable, because any failure will attract everyone's doubts and prying eyes from peers ! The reputation we have built up over the years may also be ruined." The other end of the phone continued.

"Sir, please rest assured that I will not fail." Mills said with a straight chest.

"Very good! I wish you success, but I also hope you remember the promise just now. If something goes wrong, someone needs to be held accountable."

Mills ended the call with the headquarters, but his expression became gloomy. The "someone in charge" that the headquarters said at the end naturally refers to David Mills.

The attitude of the headquarters made Mills feel the urgency of the matter and put him under a heavy pressure, especially when he thought of Philip's sixth place, he suddenly felt unconfident in his heart.

Mills picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"I hope that more training resources can be allocated to Baron Phillips. What is the charging standard? Don't talk to me about the charging. Even if we don't make money from this business, we must give him the best training! Tell the coaching team, Don't worry about the cost for the time being, let's improve Philip's score first, I don't want to see another sixth place in a small competition! What I want is the championship, let Philip win the championship!"

...

The track meet in New Mexico was a small one, but the Bank of the West track and field classic in Los Angeles was a big one.

When it is said to be a big competition, it does not refer to the scale of the competition, but the high prize money of the competition. The Western Bank of the United States is rich and powerful, and often sponsors sports competitions. The tennis competitions they sponsor have a prize money no less than the four Grand Slams. As for the sponsorship of track and field events, Bank of the West is also very willing to spend money, which makes the prize money of this event one of the best in the United States.

The high prize money of the competition will naturally attract many well-known players to participate. If there are more well-known players, the game will be more exciting, attracting more spectators and more media reporters.

The 400-meter has always been the strength of the United States, and there are many athletes engaged in the 400-meter event in the United States. Therefore, the 400-meter race is no longer a game, but is divided into two days. The first day is the preliminary competition, and the second Genius is the final.

When the on-site commentator introduced Philip, the audience still gave him warm applause. Philip waved at the camera and forced a smile.

The surrounding contestants stared at Philip, apparently regarding him as a major opponent on the way to the promotion, but Philip didn't bother to pay attention to the track next to him.

The process of introducing the movement was only a short one or two minutes, and then the referee issued an order to ask the athletes to take their positions.

Philip tried hard to concentrate on the track, he forced himself to concentrate, and he also knew that today's opponents were not easy to deal with.

Finally, the gunshot that started the game sounded, and with the shouts of the audience, the athletes started the 400-meter journey.

...

The competition has once again entered the final sprint stage. The three athletes in the front are still fighting each other, and the situation of winning the championship is not clear. It seems that it will not be revealed until the moment when they cross the finish line. Ranking of three.

The preliminary competition is divided into three groups. The top two in the group and the two third places with the best results enter the finals. If they can strive to enter the top two, no one is willing to be the third place. The third place also has a two-thirds chance to enter the final, but at the same time also has a one-third chance to be eliminated.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Philip, and he fell to the last and last place.

Philip looked forward. He felt that the gap between himself and the top three was so far away that it was impossible to catch up.

However, his legs were getting heavier and heavier. To be precise, the pair of prosthetic limbs on his legs made him feel heavier and heavier. The place where the prosthetic limbs and knees were fixed also felt bursts of pain. Every step he took , Every time he touched the ground, the pain would stimulate Philip's nerves and make him think of giving up.

Philip is a little confused. This pair of prosthetics has been with him for many years. Once upon a time, Philip even regarded this pair of prosthetics as his own feet! Even sometimes, he didn't feel the presence of the prosthesis at all while running. But now, he doesn't feel that way anymore.

The fixed position of the prosthesis and the knee, besides the pain, is also cold. That kind of cold makes Philip more desperate than the pain. This cold feeling is telling Philip all the time that his legs are a pair of prosthetics, a pair of cold Prosthetics, not real feet!

This pair of cold prosthetic limbs seemed to be reminding Philip that he was not a healthy person, but a disabled person.

It was also at this moment that Philip began to doubt himself, his self-confidence was collapsing!

In front, the top three contestants have already crossed the finish line, the top two are naturally happy, while the third is nervous, he still doesn't know if he can advance.

But Philip didn't even have the qualifications to be nervous.

This time, he didn't even finish sixth, and he was the last athlete to cross the finish line.

However, Philip at this time did not appear depressed, but instead had a numb expression.

"My leg hurts so much, and I feel so tired too! I really want to go back soon." Philip couldn't even take a step, he didn't want to move at all.

People's eyes stayed on the top three, and then shifted to the next group of contestants. As for Philip, he was completely forgotten by the audience.

Today's competition has many well-known track and field athletes, the fastest American runner, the furthest jump American, the tallest American jumper, the most agile American hurdler, the furthest American shot put , the American who threw the javelin the farthest, the American who threw the hammer the farthest... Always, there is no shortage of star-level track and field athletes in the eyes of the audience, and at this time, people must pay more attention to the winner, and Will anyone remember who the loser was?

What's more, there is also a women's competition at the scene. The girls who exercise all the year round wear tight sportswear, many of which save fabrics. Coupled with the unique body proportions of Europeans and Americans, it can be said to be uneven. The perverts have long since begun to salivate and start their nasty fantasies.

As for female perverts, there are also little brothers in tight sportswear on the field, with bulging biceps on the arms, bulging pectoral muscles under the neck, tight glutes at the back, and the other side of the glutes If the body is also bulging very much, it will definitely make the female audience shine, and make the male audience envious and jealous, and at the same time, not to be outdone, they will brag about their length to each other.

Under such circumstances, who would pay attention to a disabled athlete who was eliminated in the preliminaries!

...

Two weeks later, at the Miami Track and Field, Philip fell again.

In the Seattle sprint, Philip stopped in the preliminary round.

In the New Orleans Track and Field Classic, Philip still failed to get a place.

Finally, a sports magazine published such a headline: "Barron Phillips, Superstar Falls!" "
