Gawain wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, but the hot sweat still continued to flow out. The steam looked like he was in a sauna, and his red cheeks clearly showed the efforts he had made in the past hour.
.
"I didn't expect such a result at all. I just focused on every game in front of me and fought hard one by one. It was really an unexpected surprise to finally get such a result. If I had to do it all over again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to replicate it.
Already."
Um?
Tobias was a little confused, this was not Gawain's usual speaking style.
Then Gawain changed the subject.
"How about it? Doesn't this feel a bit like dealing with reporters at a press conference?"
Tobias reacted and couldn't help laughing happily.
It seems that he is still worrying about gains and losses because of the incident in New York, and has lost his usual composure. On the contrary, Gao Wen still maintains his usual good attitude. He has not gotten carried away because of three consecutive championships, nor has he become arrogant because of his continuous winning streak.
, this kind of mentality adjustment ability is very powerful.
After realizing this, Tobias's mind calmed down a little. Although his expression did not change much, the anxiety in his eyes had slowly settled.
"How do you feel now?" Tobias asked with concern.
Gao Wen wiped the sweat again, and it was really pouring down like rain. The big sweat continued to slide down his skin. "My body has basically recovered, and I don't feel anything special."
"But Grant said that this is the first time I have experienced such an intense confrontation. Although my recovery speed is faster due to my youth, follow-up training should keep up. On the one hand, it is to avoid potential risks such as muscle soreness and strain, and on the other hand,
On the one hand, it is to allow the body to adapt to such an intense competition, so that the endurance and physical strength can be improved to a higher level, and the strength and speed can also be improved."
"I should take my chance."
After he finished speaking, Gawain saw Tobias' helpless expression. He didn't understand, "What's wrong?"
Tobias couldn't help laughing, "I was asking you how it felt to win the championship for three consecutive weeks, but you told me about your physical condition."
This is also...
Only then did Gawain react and burst into laughter.
"If I win the championship, the moment I win the match point and receive the trophy, I am really happy, as if I am standing on top of the world. But after the award ceremony, I have to rush to the next stop non-stop, and soon it will be over.
As I fell into a deep sleep, the championship became a thing of the past, and there was no special feeling."
In fact, when I won the championship in Binghamton, the joy and happiness were indescribable, as if my whole chest exploded, not only because this was my first challenge championship trophy, but also because of this.
This is the first important breakthrough since rebirth——
It's a step up from the NCAA.
When I took the bus to Lexington, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
But it still didn't last too long, so I fell asleep because I was too tired. When I woke up, I had to prepare for the first round of Lexington, so naturally I didn't have time to celebrate.
Especially in the first round of Lexington, the situation was very severe. The score of "1:6" in the first set was a situation that Gaowen had never encountered in his career. This gave Gaowen a strong impact and he quickly forced himself to take it back.
Focus on the competition, otherwise you will be eliminated——
He doesn't want the news that "the Binghamton champion was eliminated in the first round in Lexington" to appear on the ATP's official website homepage.
Then, in the second and third weeks, just by persisting step by step, Gao Wen truly adapted to the rhythm and atmosphere of the professional arena with a rapid march. For three whole weeks, without any breathing space or time to think, he ran all the way.
This allowed Gawain to quickly regain his composure.
"The championship is certainly worthy of celebration and big celebration, but after the celebration is over, life must go on, the competition must continue, and training cannot stop."
The maturity and stability shown by Gawain once again opened Tobias's eyes. It was hard for him to believe that this was coming from an eighteen-year-old boy.
You know, young players generally have to face the problem of huge fluctuations in form. They may be able to reach the finals one week and perform brilliantly, and then lose to an unknown player ranked outside the 500th place in the first round the next week. Their performance in the two games before and after is basically
They are completely different.
There are countless similar situations, and you don’t need to look too far. Zverev Jr. was like this, and more than once.
But Gawain?
Tobias looked at Gawain suspiciously, "Are you sure you are eighteen?"
Gawain also spread his hands very calmly, "I have been found out. In fact, I am already thirty years old."
Tobias was immediately amused, "So after a day off yesterday, you started to resume training?"
Gao Wen nodded, "Now we mainly focus on simple recovery training, including core strength, muscle flexibility, etc., and we will gradually start to work on strength tomorrow."
"Grant watched my game videos. He thought that I should maintain my current body shape to avoid affecting my mobility. The weight gain plan can be slowed down a bit, but at the same time, I still need to increase the power of my forehand and serve, and the pedaling of my lower limbs.
The local strength still needs to keep up."
Tobias's eyes lit up——
On that side, Adidas was still disdainful of Gao Wen's thin body and lack of strength; on this side, Gao Wen had already started targeted training?
Tobias looked at Grant subconsciously.
In fact, Grant is not Gawain's full-time coach. He only uses his time during the summer to help out - of course he is paid, but Grant always remains objective and does not interfere excessively in Gawain's work to avoid overstepping his duties.
So Grant never participated in the discussion. At this time, Tobias looked at him and he responded.
"I discussed it with Coach Martin."
"Originally, we also hoped that Gao Wen could continue to gain weight. Once the weight goes up, the whole batting can be solid. However, judging from the overall performance of these three challenges, although his body is slightly thin, Gao Wen's current offense and defense are at a high level.
In a relatively balanced state, the combination of movement and hitting reaches a delicate balance point."
"Therefore, Gao Wen can often buy time for his offense through prediction and movement. In addition, his tactics, techniques and changes are all ahead of the curve, and the game will be in the best state."
"If you gain weight rashly at this time, you may break your balance."
"After discussion, we agreed that Gao Wen should mainly increase his core strength and muscle toughness, and then make local enhancements and adjustments."
"Gao Wen himself has always maintained a positive and open attitude towards strength training. We are also willing to maintain the original pace at this stage in daily training. Don't be too hasty, but wait for more feedback before slowly adjusting the training plan."
"Next week, we will go to Winston-Salem to take a look at the situation, measure the training results, and then discuss whether further adjustments are needed."
"Actually, these ideas were first proposed by Gawain."
