American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

"Dale, thank you for taking care of me during this time." On the weekend of the next day, George came to the sporting goods store with some apology and resigned from his job as a salesperson to the boss.

Although the job in the sporting goods store did not pay well, it did help George get through the predicament at the time.

"Go, George. I have long seen that you will return to the team one day, and that is your home court." Boss Dell smiled and waved: "Remember to come and take care of my store's business in the future."

"Definitely~" George turned around, hugged the other person, and promised: "I will come to you for a drink when I have time."

The six months of getting together has allowed two men with a huge age difference to establish a deep friendship.

…

On Monday, George, who took over the head coaching job again, spent the whole morning going through all the information on the team members.

By the afternoon outdoor exercise class, he could already associate the names of the new team members with himself.

This is quite an achievement for a physical education teacher.

"Aaron, please take everyone to warm up first. In a moment, I will re-do individual tests for you..." On the playground, Coach George, who was wearing orange sports short-sleeves, arranged work for everyone.

New people, new atmosphere~

Seeing the new coach's energetic appearance, the rugby players were also full of fighting spirit.

After everyone had finished warming up and gathered together again, Coach George also revealed his plan: "I'm going to divide the team into an offensive group and a defensive group, so I need to do a new round of physical testing for you so that it can be based on your personal situation. Come and arrange the location..."

Not every school has the ability to divide teams into groups, and that requires a sufficient talent pool.

The Melford football team, which now has nearly a hundred players, has basically met the grouping conditions.

A regular football team has an offensive team, a defensive team and a special teams team, and a total of 54 regular players are needed.

Among them, the special service personnel with special functions are the most complex and ineffective.

Therefore, generally at the college level, each football team has the ability and need to consider establishing its own special teams.

"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. Next, let's go to the equipment area for the test..." After arranging the team members, George said to Coach Wien behind him: "I'll leave the statistics to you. ”

"No problem~" Coach Wayne, who was holding a writing board behind him, nodded.

He has now become George's little follower.

According to the needs of the team, the physical tests include 40-yard sprint with weight, in-situ vertical high jump, obstacle return run and other events.

These items correspond to the players' speed, explosive power and agility respectively.

Of course, a comprehensive physical test also needs to test balance, flexibility, coordination and endurance.

The physical examination of nearly a hundred people is not a small project. Repeated and mechanical tests will inevitably make people feel boring.

Of course, Mike's testing process is not included.

40-yard dash with weight: 4.5 seconds

Vertical jump in place: 1.2m

…

Mike, who constantly breaks the physical test record of the school football team, allows a group of high school players who have never seen the world to continue to contribute to global warming.

"45, 46, 47..."

On the 100 kilogram bench press machine, Mike was conducting his own strength test.

"Hold on! Mike~ One more time..." Coach George, who witnessed the birth of the miracle, kept cheering Mike on.

"50, 51~"

As the press count reached fifty-one, Mike stopped his strength test.

Nowadays, the number of bench presses in the 100-120kg range for the top professional rugby players is basically around fifty.

In order not to scare everyone with his shocking performance, Mike restrained his abilities a little during the test.

If converted in proportion, he probably showed about one-fifth of his strength in this test.

Even so, everyone who witnessed the fifty-one bench press record couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamation.

"You guys are really a monster~"

After seeing Mike's inhuman performance, little George came forward excitedly and pinched the muscles on Mike's arm, almost drooling with envy.

In half a year, Mike has grown two centimeters taller, and his figure remains in a toned and not bloated range.

It's hard to imagine that such a body contains so much energy.

"I wonder how the force of his impact compares to Sam..."

The team members who witnessed Mike's fifty-first recommendation were talking quietly.

There is impact equipment specially used for training in the equipment area, but it is a pity that the equipment cannot measure impact force.

Therefore, no one has an accurate understanding of the destructive power of Mike's impact.

As for Sam, after half a year of hard training, his strength has remained at the top of the team.

In the bench press test just now, he also reached an astonishing thirty-six reps.

Although there is still a gap with Mike's 51, but compared with others who generally have single-digit bench press numbers, Sam is actually very good in terms of strength.

In order to have a reference, everyone naturally connected Sam and Mike.

George also heard the discussions among the team members, and he was also curious about the strength of Mike's impact.

After all, the most indispensable thing in rugby is collision.

So, when the endurance test was about to begin, Coach George asked: "Mike, Sam, do you two want to have a confrontation training?"

"No problem from my side, coach." Sam responded as he stepped out of line.

Although he knew that he was not as good as Mike, he was still a little unwilling after some hard training.

Moreover, the competition in confrontation training is not only strength, but also skills.

It just so happened that during this half-year period, Sam also conducted specialized skills training.

This confrontation exercise may be his best chance to win against Mike.

"It's no problem for me." Mike, who has a strong foundation, is not afraid of any challenge.

What's more, rugby is a sport where strength speaks for itself.

Soon, with the team members watching, Mike and Sam started a confrontation drill.

The two of them were less than one meter apart, with thick protective pads placed behind them.

"Are you all ready?" Coach George asked.

The two men, who were leaning forward to fight, nodded at the same time.

Compared with Sam, whose muscles are ready to go, Mike's half-bent figure looks a bit thin in comparison.

"Start~"

"Bang..."

With a heart-wrenching collision of protective gear, a huge figure flew into the air and flew out.

Although they had already guessed it, all the team members were still surprised when they saw Sam being knocked away within a second.

Even Coach Wayne, who was responsible for recording the results at the back, opened his mouth.

You must know that this is a close collision.

God knows how hard Mike's impact would be as he ran away.

"Sam, are you okay?" Coach George, after being surprised for a moment, quickly ran to check on Sam.

The huge impact almost caused the big guy to fly out of the range of the pad.

However, fortunately, he was protected by thick protective gear. Although Sam looked a bit badly hit, he was not actually injured.

"I'm fine, coach." Sam, who had calmed down a bit, answered loudly.

After confirming that the other party was really fine, Coach George felt relieved. Otherwise, a team member would be injured on the first day after returning to the team, which would not be easy to explain to the school.

"You go to the side and have a rest first~"

To be on the safe side, Coach George gave Sam the privilege of resting, and then said to the other team members: "Next, we have the last endurance test."

The endurance test is very simple, that is, the team members line up in a square formation and run circles at a constant speed. Those who cannot hold on can exit the square formation.

More than an hour later, as the team members fell behind one by one, Mike, who had only one seedling left, also stopped.

At this point, the endurance test is all over.

"I have basically understood everyone's situation. Tomorrow afternoon I will officially announce the positions you will play in the team. Of course, if you have any different opinions or suggestions, you can always come to me for feedback..." The team didn't always stick to what they said, so Coach George didn't stick to his words.

Then, seeing that the time was almost up, Coach George set aside enough time for everyone to rest and wash up.

"Let's get here first today and dismiss~"

"Coach, goodbye~"

After all the players said goodbye to the coach, they walked feebly to the locker room together.

Obviously, the previous endurance test was not easy for everyone.
