He simply felt that Gawain's mental state was particularly positive today, full of energy and courage. He could also feel the warmth of this enthusiasm, and he was vaguely eager to try. The boring daily training seemed to add some fun.
But after being teased like this, things changed.
Jilong was a little worried about Gawain's reaction. After all, he was still a freshman, so it was inevitable that he would be high-spirited.
But they didn't expect that Gawain was not only not angry, but also excited and gearing up, and his bright eyes seemed to be ready.
Along with this, Ji Long was also infected. He put away his worries and straightened his back unconsciously, "How about it? Start now?"
Gawain nodded, "Basic steps?"
Jilong did not respond and walked directly towards the footwork practice area.
Gawain also shook his fist at Macdonald to express his encouragement, and then he jumped up and down to catch up.
Footwork training in tennis is very tedious and complex. It is not just about mobility, but also about maintaining the center of gravity and balance of the body during movement at all times, and trying to find the best hitting position and complete the hitting action.
space, it's definitely not that easy.
It can be seen from the footwork training manual provided by the system that there are a total of thirty-six different training methods, including flat ground training without props, and equipment training using props - skipping ropes, rubber bands, balance balls,
Rope ladders, steps, long wooden bars, treadmills, footballs and tennis balls, etc.
A variety of training methods and training methods ensure that footstep adjustment can become an instinctive reaction of the body like running and walking, and then evolve into a metronome, conditioned to control the balance and rhythm of the body in movement without thinking.
Able to handle all situations in the game.
Naomi Osaka, a female professional tennis player born in 1997, was very lazy in the early stages of her career, which also made her game results fluctuate. No matter how good her physical talent was, she still struggled to achieve good results; later in 2018, she changed her main position.
Coach Sascha-Bajin.
Bajin has been tennis legend Serena Williams's partner for eight years. He coached Naomi Osaka as the head coach for the first time in his career. However, under his guidance, Naomi Osaka's footsteps have been completely transformed.
Later, you can see Naomi Osaka habitually patting her thigh before returning the ball every time during the game to remind herself not to be lazy in her steps.
After Bajin took over, Osaka's world ranking jumped from 68th to fourth, and she won four Grand Slam championships.
Of course, physical talent plays an important role in Naomi Osaka's summit and success, but footwork training is undoubtedly a part that cannot be ignored among countless important links.
Soon, Jilong also discovered something unusual about Gawain.
It’s not that the training is completed very quickly, but the quality of the training is very high——
Gao Wen is completely immersed in the training, with a high concentration of attention, and every detail is very fine, ensuring that each set of exercises can be completed according to the standards; at the same time, the training condition is also in good condition, and the entire step is very light and agile.
, the body is like a feather, jumping, crossing, switching, and rotating, the dazzling steps are really outstanding.
Like a cheetah and like a lynx.
Jilong, who was practicing side by side, could also feel the pressure, which unintentionally inspired a competitive mentality.
In any case, Jilong is only twenty years old, and a young man is inevitably arrogant. Coupled with his strict self-requirements, he can't help but try his best to keep up with Gawain. After just fifteen minutes of training, he is already sweaty and hot.
The hot sweat soaked through the training clothes and even started to drip.
Other teammates also looked at him one after another, and they were all shocked.
reason?
There are strict requirements for winter training time, which must not be exceeded. The average daily training is less than two hours a day, so training cannot be done in large quantities, such as strength training, batting training, footwork training, etc., and players can only use their extracurricular time.
, practice independently on the premise of completing homework and exams.
In training sessions, it is often a simple warm-up to avoid unnecessary strains on the body, and then the practice matches begin. The head coach will provide guidance on technical and tactical issues to ensure that the players can fully utilize their strengths and avoid weaknesses and display their strengths.
; Then make up for the shortcomings and conduct targeted training according to the actual situation.
In other words, it was just a warm-up, but Gawain and Jilong actually practiced it for real, sweating like rain, which is really jaw-dropping.
"What happened to Gawain today? He confessed to his crush and got shot?"
Suddenly, someone quietly asked Macdonald, trying to find out.
MacDonald is an honest man, but when faced with such inquiries, he still defended his friend in a dull manner, "Don't put your own experiences into the situation, okay?"
Hahaha!
Everyone burst into laughter.
Grant was a little worried when he saw this. The winter training had just begun. Did Gao Wen and Giron exert too much force? He couldn't help but look at the head coach Martin.
Martin also observed it for a long time, but then he shook his head gently, with a smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, maybe this is a good thing."
In fact, purely from the perspective of static talent, Gao Wen's ball feel and touch are indeed rare. At least in Martin's view, the Bruins have not encountered such a talented young player in more than 20 years, and even Geelong is far behind.
Very far.
Although dynamic talent is relatively short, and the lack of strength and burst limits development prospects, Gao Wen has only been in the team for four months, anything is possible, and Martin is also looking forward to how Gao Wen's growth curve will develop.
After an autumn season and a winter training, Martin also wanted to see what kind of attitude Gao Wen would have in welcoming the first spring season.
Thinking of this, Martin also had an idea.
After the warm-up, Martin did not call the players together, but directly shouted, "We are now conducting a mini duel practice match. For the first group, let's go with Gao and Geelong; for the second group, Thompson and MacDonald;
The third group, Di Giulio and Sale. Everyone, please prepare."
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
The players' eyes intertwined, a little excited and a little excited - not because the matchup was too unfamiliar. Anyway, in normal practice matches, the main players usually played against the substitutes. Occasionally, under special circumstances, there were also duels between the main players, but no matter what
The permutations and combinations are considered normal.
Mainly because this morning, Gawain's proactiveness and vitality were really refreshing. In addition, young people like to make noises, and they have to find something to do when they don't have anything to do, so everyone started singing.
There was a commotion with war songs.
"Ho ho ho! Come on! Brown bear!"
"Ho ho ho! Come on! Brown bear!"
Grant turned his head and glanced at Martin, who was confident and wily, and seemed to vaguely understand what Martin meant——
Morale and state are the most important things for young players.
