Almighty Coach

After a day of training, Philip dragged his exhausted body to the locker room, gritted his teeth and took off his prosthesis. The part where the prosthesis connects to the knee was already red and swollen.

"It hurts!" Philip gently rubbed the red and swollen area. At this moment, he suddenly missed Dai Li.

In the past, Dai Li would massage him for a few minutes after the training, and his pain would be relieved quickly, and his skin would not swell up, but now, this kind of swelling and pain became a constant Even if you go back and rest for a whole night, you can't eliminate it.

His legs hurt from training every day, and he always ran last when it came to competitions. Under such circumstances, Philip could not feel any motivation. At this time, Philip even hated being an athlete.

Steven walked into the locker room and came to Philip with great interest.

"Barron, good news, there is a sponsor in Oakland who is interested in you, so I'm going to Oakland tomorrow to meet the sponsor and have an interview with him." Steven said.

"There's another sponsor." Philip couldn't see the slightest bit of joy on his face,

These days, Steven would always tell him that a new sponsor was interested in him, followed by a short wait, and then nothing else.

Steven felt Philip's decadence, and he immediately said: "Baron, I will definitely negotiate with this sponsor."

Philip sighed with a melancholy expression on his face, and then said, "You said that I made a stupid choice by leaving Coach Li?"

"How could it be? The AP training center is much larger than Dai Li's. The equipment is more abundant, and the coaching team is more professional. There are the most advanced training concepts in the world..." Steven said hastily.

"But my grades have dropped." Philip shook his head: "I admit that the training at the AP training center is indeed very professional, and their coaching team arranged a very scientific training plan for me, and I really don't understand it. Come out, there are any problems with their training, but I also clearly feel that my speed is not as fast as before!"

"Barron, it's just a matter of state. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, relax a little, and you will definitely be able to get back to your previous state." Steven continued to persuade.

"No, it's not because of my condition." Philip shook his head seriously: "When I was at Coach Li's place, I would feel very smooth when running. Sometimes, I didn't even feel the presence of the prosthesis. , this prosthesis seems to be integrated with my body and has become a part of my body. But now, I can't find that feeling anymore, especially in the game, I will feel that this pair of prosthetics is very heavy, It became a burden and made it difficult for me to take a step."

"Barron, could it be that your prosthetics are too old? Should we go to Iceland again, find the company that sells prosthetics, and get a new set of prosthetics. Maybe they have more advanced technology now. The prosthesis will be stronger and lighter." Steven persuaded.

"Is it a problem with the prosthesis?" Philip shook his head: "But when I bought the prosthesis, the company promised that the prosthesis can be used for 20 to 30 years, and the strength of dozens of layers of carbon fiber is much higher than that of steel. Even if it is continuously under pressure, it will not be deformed. What's more, even if it is a prosthetic problem, I cannot replace it in a short time."

"Why?" Steven asked.

"This kind of prosthesis needs to be specially made, because everyone's body is different, and the bone development is also different, so everyone's needs for prosthetics are also different, so this kind of prosthesis is destined to be impossible to mass-produce, and this production process, It will take several months, after all, dozens of layers of carbon fibers need to be compressed together." Philip paused, and then said:

"After the prosthesis is made, it needs to be installed and debugged to allow the user to adapt to the prosthesis. It took me a year to fully adapt to the prosthesis and I can walk like a normal person with it. What do you think now? I, do I have so much time to re-customize a set of prosthetics, and then re-adapt to the new prosthetics?"

Philip said with a long sigh: "I really regret it now, I should continue to train with Coach Li. Isn't it just 5% less income share, at least it is much better than now!"

...

David Mills waved a stack of A4 papers in his hand, and said with a high-spirited expression: "Dear directors, our Los Angeles Center has given Barron Philip a lot of training resources, and I have used the best training resources in the center." The training team worked out a scientific training plan for him, which is the one in my hand. Before I came, I visited three consultants, Lawrence, Dale and Guderis, and the three consultants agreed that, This training plan is very well done. Everyone, here are the signatures of three consultants."

Mills opened the A4 paper, revealing three flamboyant signatures.

Lawrence, Dell, and Goodres mentioned by Mills were all top coaches in the United States, and they all once worked in the AP Training Center. After retiring, they served as senior consultants of the AP Physical Training Center. These three people have high level of coaching, rich coaching experience, and qualifications, which are enough to win the trust of the directors present.

Sure enough, Mills showed the signs of these three old consultants, and immediately bluffed many people. Even the members of the board of directors had to give these three old consultants a little bit of shame. It is obviously impossible to criticize Mills in terms of training programs.

"Mills, since there is no problem with your training plan, why did Philip's grades plummet? Is there something wrong with your implementation?" A director asked.

"There must be no problem with our execution. Our coaches have all been trained by the headquarters and have passed the assessment by the headquarters." Mills said.

The director who asked the question did not dwell on this issue any longer, otherwise it would be tantamount to letting the headquarters blame Mills.

"Mills, as the person in charge of the Los Angeles Center, what do you think is the reason why Philip's grades have declined?" another director asked.

Mills cleared his throat, and said: "I think Philip's decline in performance is entirely due to his personal reasons. Maybe he didn't try his best during training, which led to poor training results; Going to too many nightclubs caused him to be in a bad state during the game."

"Mills, what do you mean, shift the responsibility to Philip? Push it to our customers, let the customers bear the responsibility?" the director just now asked very dissatisfied.

"Otherwise? Do you think that the training level of our AP center is not as good as that of the Chinese-owned training center?" David Mills said without blushing.

The conference room fell into silence, and the directors all realized that it was a very good choice to shift the responsibility to Philip.

"Dear directors, there is already a voice in the media saying that our training is not as good as that of Coach Li's training center, and colleagues are waiting to see our jokes! So what we have to do now is to calm the public opinion as soon as possible Doubt. And the best way to quell the doubts of public opinion is to clear the blame."

Mills spread his hands, and then said: "Philip's grades have declined because of his own reasons, not because our training level is not good, and it is not because any Chinese coach has a higher training level than us. So our AP training center is still The best physical training center in the United States. What do you guys think?"

"I agree with what Mills said." The director sitting in the middle said, "For the sake of the reputation of our AP training center, we can only agree with what Mills said."

"But this may not be the truth!" A person next to him said.

"Is it the truth, is it that important?" The director sitting in the middle continued, "The key is, this is the truth we need!"
