In professional sports, the most taboo thing is to pretend to understand, and the relationships between parents and children, parents and coaches, parents and agents are also full of crises.
Many parents firmly believe that they are the most professional and considerate, and are often prone to interfering in the work of coaches or agents, interfering with their children's judgment and decisions. It would be fine if the differences can be resolved smoothly, but if not, the worst result will be to ruin the whole family.
player's future.
In 2017, a Chinese teenager Wu Yibing came out of the blue and won the singles and doubles doubles in the US Open youth competition. He was not only the second youth double champion in the history of the US Open, but also the first in the history of mainland China.
He became a Grand Slam junior champion, and then became the junior world No. 1 with his championship.
The news of Wu Yibing's victory successfully appeared on CCTV News, becoming the second tennis player after Li Na to receive a prime time coverage spot on CCTV News.
There is no doubt that this is a rising star of tomorrow who is very promising to change the sluggish situation of Chinese men's tennis.
In 2018, Wu Yibing officially entered the professional tennis world, and then signed with the IMG agency in June. He immediately signed a contract with the famous coach Sven-Groeneveld through Eisenbad's matchmaking——
This coach once coached Federer when he was a teenager, and later coached Sharapova, Ivanovic, Wozniacki, etc.
Under the guidance of Groeneveld, Wu Yibing achieved some results, such as the runner-up in the Asian Games; but the overall performance also fluctuated significantly, and we can see the impact of changing technical movements, but this is the inevitable process of growth.
, just like when Zhang Depei just took over Kei Nishikori.
However, less than five months after Groeneveld directed Wu Yibing, he announced the end of the partnership.
At first, Groeneveld euphemistically said, "He needs a coach who is more consistent with his mother's views." Later, it was learned one after another that Wu Yibing's mother had been interfering in the coaching work and repeatedly believed that the coach's daily training was excessive and inappropriate.
He said that he disrupted the coach's training plan and even raised objections to the modification of some technical movements——
Wu Yibing always listens to his mother, which makes Groeneveld's coaching work impossible to continue.
later?
Less than four months later, Wu Yibing bid farewell to the competition due to injury and returned after more than a year. Although he achieved some good results in China's domestic tours, he never had a participation record in ATP level events.
After going around and around, I still haven't been able to break out.
At least not until 2021.
In fact, there are countless geniuses like Wu Yibing whose future has been affected by their parents' interference, not just in tennis, but in other fields as well.
Fortunately, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun had clear minds.
It's not that they interfered with Gawain's training, but when something happened, they knew they could trust their agent, so they didn't have the temerity to disturb Gawain without any verification, and informed Gawain of these off-field trivial matters, and dispersed them.
Gawain's attention, this is very important.
After receiving Tobias' affirmative reply, Jiang Yanyun relaxed slightly and let out a long breath.
Tobias saw Jiang Yanyun's relieved look and laughed, "Don't worry, as long as you don't sign any agreement in black and white, everything will be fine."
Jiang Yanyun was also amused, "Never sign any document that you have not read carefully. Isn't this common sense?"
Tobias nodded in affirmation, "If I'm not wrong, that couple has no ill intentions. They should be representatives of Adidas and came here specifically to win over you. The exhibition in Brooklyn today was co-organized by Adidas."
I see!
"Adidas has been trying to open up the situation through fashion, trying to make sports fashionable, environmentally friendly, and then become a part of popular culture. They do have a lot of activities in this area. If you are interested, you can go and participate. No need.
Worry."
Not only did Tobias not panic, but he became even happier because Adidas took action——
Before the start of the semi-finals, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun had established a relationship. If the predictions were correct, the couple would attend the semi-finals and then create a chance encounter with Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun to further close the relationship.
Jiang Yanyun didn't quite understand, "But what do they hope to achieve through us? I thought they would slip a check over and ask us to convince Gao Wen to sign the contract."
So straightforward?
Tobias laughed happily, "A big company like Adidas will not be so simple and crude. They will first establish an emotional connection, then understand your preferences, and take your preferences into consideration when submitting cooperation plans.
, tailor-made a plan for Gao Wen, and finally match it with a number that we can't refuse, this is the correct way to compete."
Adidas knows that if it and Nike simply start spending money, both parties will probably lose, so they need more reasonable and wiser methods.
Obviously, Gao Wen's interpersonal relationship is very simple so far. One side should be the Bruins coaching team, and the other side is Gao Wen's parents. Therefore, if Adidas wants to enter Gao Wen's life circle, it is nothing more than choosing a breakthrough between the two.
.
But no matter what the specifics are, it also means that Gao Wen's weight with Adidas has risen to a whole new level. Anyway, Adidas was not so active and did not spend so much time in fighting for Bouchard in May this year.
Jiang Yanyun gently raised his chin, "So are you saying that it doesn't matter if we go to those activities?"
"Yes, enjoy it. If they give you any gifts, you can accept them calmly." Tobias encouraged, "Just tell me after you accept it, at least let me understand what happened." Then he
See what articles can be made.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanyun and Gao Hongli exchanged glances, and then both shook their heads.
"It's better not to go." Jiang Yanyun said, "Gao Wen's game is more important."
"As for which brand to sign, I'll leave it to you. We won't interfere with your profession." Gao Hongli added.
Tobias looked at the couple who had reached an agreement in front of him and could immediately read their thoughts. They were considering Gawain wholeheartedly.
With such a solid backing, Gao Wen can fight hard on the field, which is undoubtedly an important condition for Gao Wen to achieve excellent results.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me. I'm working hard to get a big contract for Gawain." Tobias said in a relaxed tone, revealing a sense of confidence from the inside out.
Soon, Tobias realized that everything was developing in the wildest and craziest direction. To be precise, everything was developing in a direction that was beneficial to Gawain——
But at the same time, this also means that the pressure continues to rise.
