Run Out of My Life

"...Break the men's 100m record in our country again. I haven't checked the gold league you mentioned last time, and whether it meets the standard or not. I guess I'll have to go back and ask. Next coach. However, I have qualified for the Olympic A standard and will go to the Athens Olympics next year.”

In an apartment in the national team training base, Su Zu racked his brains in front of the computer to write the last sentence of the "English-Chinese Dictionary" at hand, and clicked the email to send.

Looking at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, it was already past ten in the morning, so I turned off the computer, took a coat, and went out.

It has been a few days since the end of the City Games. After returning to the training base, the training did not start immediately in the past few days.

After the last city games of this year, the winter training will begin. And because of preparations for next year's Athens Olympic Games, the track and field team has issued a notice of training in advance.

Su Zu asked Yu Liwei and Li Zhizhong to take a few days off to make adjustments. After running around for two consecutive months, Su Zu felt a little tired.

The various negative states in the system have accumulated eight or nine, all of which are mild to moderate fatigue, and also need a period of rest to gradually adjust.

General athletes rarely have a time schedule that they can decide by themselves. Basically, they will exercise in the morning, train in the morning, and train in the afternoon. If they don’t practice in the morning, they will practice in the evening. Before catching up with the competition, there are also three practice sessions a day and four practice sessions a day.

In the past two years, from entering the sports school to Su Zu's professional career, he went out alone very few times.

May 1 was a long holiday, and the team was given a day off, and most of the time it was full. And because of the specific small circle, rarely go out. If you suddenly have time to go out, you may feel a little unfamiliar. You can't stay for many games, and you want to go back to the training center.

Su Zu also took advantage of the few days before the winter training to discuss with Li Zhizhong and stop for a few days to rest and make adjustments. After all, Lao Li is more talkative in this regard, and with Su Zu's continuous achievements, his status in the team is rising, so things like asking for leave and going out will not be a problem.

Out of the training base, Su Zu directly stopped a taxi and went straight to find a coffee shop that had been agreed in advance.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a familiar figure waving at me.

"Suzu, this way."

In a corner opposite the coffee shop, Zheng Wei stood up and greeted Su Zu with a smile.

"Brother Wei, long time no see." Su Zu walked directly to the seat and sat down.

"Just want a juice or milk." Su Zu glanced at him and said that carbonated drinks and caffeinated drinks are basically unrelated to him. He usually drinks more milk, and occasionally tastes it juice.

Zheng Wei nodded, ordered a glass of pure juice from the waiter in the store, then turned to look at Su Zu and said, "You are taller and stronger than last year, by the way, I haven't congratulated you for a row. Set a national record."

"Haha, thank you brother Wei, how's your study in BST?" Su Zu smiled, "Although I know you are also in the imperial capital, and I have trained in BST several times. , I haven't had time to meet and chat with you."

Su Zu knew that Zheng Wei was studying in the imperial capital at the Chinese Games last year, and later asked Zhuang Tao for Zheng Wei's contact information. The two occasionally called once or twice, but each other's time was relatively tight , This is the first meeting after leaving the sports school.

"Come on, if it goes well, you can pass the defense next year." Zheng Wei looked at Su Zu and sighed, no one thought that he was still in the sports school and wanted to enter the provincial team The young man, in a blink of an eye, has already won an unimaginable honor.

"That's good. Brother Wei, didn't you forget my agreement with you? Hey, if there is no problem with you, I can apply with the coach and the leader at that time. I can Gotta find you as an assistant coach."

Su Zu mentioned a previous agreement between the two and said with a smile. He didn't bring much water into his words. The head coach on Li Zhizhong's side always needed someone's assistance. If he opened his mouth, it would not be a big problem as an assistant coach.

This is also because of his achievements in the three important games of the All Championships and Asian Championships City Games, and because of his rising status, the team has started to be an expert research group. Lao Li has also been busy picking people and forming a suitable coaching team. From training, to competitions, venue arrangements, and post-match analysis, we are building a team in all aspects.

"For the time being, I don't want it yet." Zheng Wei smiled, remembering the joking agreement between the two, and he never dared to think that the day would come true so soon, and then shook his head again, " Wait until I finish my studies here."

"That's fine, but I think you should put your name on it." Su Zu nodded, "By the way, Brother Wei, I want to ask you to help find a suitable place? "

Mentioning this, Zheng Wei sat up straight and became a little more energetic, "Are you really going to do it?"

"Well, give it a try, you also know that athletes eat youth food, I want to try it while there is still a chance."

"You think long-term, for athletes, it's good to be able to achieve results. You don't want to put the cart before the horse, but if you have such an idea, if you want to try it, I'm not against it. However, Are you sure you won't go out of business?"

"I saw before that you have an idea." Zheng Wei took a sip of coffee, "Tell me your opinion first."

"Simply put, I want to open a training class about our sports. Well, in fact, you have to understand that it can be a gym. I don't know if you paid attention to the many training institutions outside our store. There is no advertisement, I hope it is similar to the language training and study abroad institutions."

Su Zu looked at the doubts in Zheng Wei's eyes, and naturally knew that he would have to persuade him to ask Zheng Wei for help. Fortunately, he also had some drafts in his heart, and it was not an innovative project. People plagiarized away when they heard an idea. From Su Zu's heart, he really wanted to do that.

"Training classes?" Although Zheng Wei heard Su Zu mention it once on the phone, he was still a little surprised to see Su Zu's serious words, "A training class for sports doesn't make money, right?"

Zheng Wei is not an outsider, so naturally he caught it. There are not many people who do this kind of sports, but basically it is difficult to form a scale effect, and most of them also require long-term investment, and it is difficult to see returns.

"Well, I happen to know a few retired athletes. Wei Ge, as you know, some of them are not so easy to find a job, so I will give it a try."

"You already have someone?" When Zheng Wei heard this and looked at Su Zu, he felt even more unfamiliar.

Su Zu nodded, he had already gone to the "Athlete's Home" store, probably because of the training base opposite, and the bonus of Zhang Qunwen's own championship, the business was still decent, But it's just like that, in terms of opening a store, it's really not the director.

In addition, Zhang Qunwen wanted to recruit Su Zu to gradually open up some relationship networks, and Su Zu found that after retirement, there are still many athletes who are not so smooth in employment.

Su Zu's current idea is relatively simple, he is going to open a sports training institution. Benefiting from the experience in the previous world, he has been involved in a lot of experience in language training, postgraduate entrance examination, civil servant training and other institutions. To a certain extent, he feels that the way of sports training institutions can be tried.

From low-end mass fitness sports to mid-to-high-end competitive sports, a complete industrial chain can be formed.

The most critical point is that only this model requires a large number of retired professional athletes.

The most core resource of a training institution is teachers, an institution, from external marketing, to recruiting sales and follow-up service staff, almost all of them serve the teachers who create value in the end.

As a retired athlete of the same attribute, Su Zu thinks it is worth learning from. And if it is a well-known athlete who has achieved results, it will naturally have a halo in popularity.

I want athletes to get enough respect after retirement without feeling completely out of the circle, this is the best way Su Zu can think of for the time being.

In addition, because in a training institution, the teacher's role is only teaching, the service of the students and the connection with the parents of the customers are all undertaken by the sales or school management, correspondingly solving a lot of problems Athletes' own problems with communication skills.

As for the level of lecturing students, Su Zu would be more at ease. Sports is a sport. As long as a professional athlete who has practiced for more than ten years has basic oral expression skills, he is competent enough to teach ordinary students.

In fact, there are many such training institutions and training camps in later generations, but the scale has not yet grown, and the integration of resources is not sufficient.

From youth sports training, to mass fitness sports, to professional competitive sports, what Su Zu wants now is a starting point.
