Martin saw all the changes in the Bruins team's atmosphere. Although he didn't say much, he praised Gao Wen and silently kept it in his heart.
In fact, if you simply look at the record of mini-matches, with three wins and nine losses, Gao Wen's performance is not amazing. Overall, he still has fewer wins and more losses, even when facing direct competitors such as Di Giulio and Sale.
There is no obvious advantage, and the suspense of victory still depends on on-the-spot performance.
This performance is basically the same as the autumn season.
However, what Martin admires most is Gao Wen's tenacity and hard work. As long as he stands on the court, even in practice matches, he still devotes himself wholeheartedly to every point. As long as there is no dead ball, he will definitely run actively. This
His mental outlook brings passion and energy to his game.
Even if the mini duel did not result in more victories, Gao Wen continued to face new challenges with increasing frustration and continued to pursue progress in the summary.
Martin, appreciate it very much.
Now, looking at Gawain who was practicing his serve diligently, Martin himself didn't even notice, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
Serving practice means that Gao Wen knows his shortcomings and is not afraid of difficulties. His attitude of facing up to difficulties is already commendable.
At the same time, Gawain is not focusing on serving the ball,
Between servings, Gao Wen has been adjusting his serving posture, and is still studying the effects of different frictions, and puts into practice with thinking.
After standing quietly on the sidelines observing for a moment, Martin finally couldn't hold back and raised his voice.
"You should practice without the ball first."
Gawain stopped and looked over following the sound, and then Martin stepped forward and explained.
"When you were just learning to serve as a child, you couldn't complete some complex movements, so the serving movements were relatively simplified. When you grow up, you grow taller very quickly, and you can often use your height and upper body strength to create a starting point.
The ball threatens the ball, so the simplified serving action swallows up some details."
"At that time, your coach was still not professional enough and ignored these details, which gradually caused your habits to be implanted in muscle memory."
"Actually, if you break down the movements completely, your leg kicking movements are incomplete, and the twisting power of your hips, hips and waist is not sufficient, which also prevents the power of your lower limbs from being fully transmitted. When you finally serve, you are still
Continuing the habit from childhood, rely on the strength of the back and shoulders to press down from the high point."
"But it lacks the impulse to explode and release."
As he talked, Martin stood next to Gawain, broke down the serving action, and then guided Gawain to complete a complete serving action bit by bit.
"Ankles, knees, hips, waist... You need to feel the force extending all the way up from the soles of your feet, how the muscles extend, twist and exert force. Only by carefully picking the movements bit by bit can you correct the muscles.
of false memories.”
"Changing your serving habits is the most difficult of all technical actions and takes a lot of time. But you are an adult. If you don't change it now, it will become more and more difficult in the future, and it may even affect your competitiveness."
Involuntarily, Martin also became more serious in his speech, patted Gawain's knee and asked him to adjust his posture.
"You should know that the competition in men's tennis is becoming more and more fierce now. Failure to serve means losing the opportunity. Even Nadal began to practice hard on serving and slowly changed his technical composition, just because he saw the entire tennis world
Technology development trends.”
"If you want to increase your competitiveness, you must adjust your serving action. Although it is difficult, and you will experience some pain in the first few months, which may lead to a decrease in the power of your serve, it is a necessary process..."
Martin realized that he had rambled a lot, and he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, showing a trace of helplessness——
Even with constant adjustments and suppression, the expectations and annoyance deep in my heart still affected my judgment. Facing Gao Wen, somehow it turned into a serving lesson. He talked a lot and I wished I could think of it all at once.
Stuff it into Gawain's head.
He was still anxious.
Gao Wen seemed to notice the confusion in Martin's expression, and said proactively, "Don't worry, coach, this is extracurricular advice, not a formal training session, and the NCAA observers won't say anything more."
Originally, Martin was not so worried, but after Gawain interpreted it like this, the whole situation immediately relaxed. The smile reappeared on Martin's lips. He did not explain his worries, but followed Gawain's words and said,
"It's okay to train hard, but don't appear in front of me, otherwise if the observer confronts me, I won't lie."
Gawain immediately put his left hand on his forehead, making a shielding movement.
Martin was confused, "What are you doing?"
"Haven't you heard the story of civet cats? They only need to pick a leaf and put it on their head to become invisible, and no one can see it." Gawain said matter-of-factly.
Martin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Hahaha!" He couldn't stop at all.
The shocking laughter rippled through the entire stadium, so much so that Gawain became a little embarrassed - he also realized how childish his actions were, his head must be too hot after training for too long, it must be like this!
Gao Wen quickly put down his left hand and took the initiative to change the topic, "Coach, I have already started strength training before, and then I am going to start gaining weight. What do you think?"
Strength training must not just exercise muscles. Increasing weight often complements each other, otherwise there will be no source of support for strength.
Tennis is no exception.
However, as mentioned before, the goal of gaining weight in tennis is not to become a tank. While gaining weight, you also need to maintain light mobility. This also means that all the added weight should be muscle. While gaining weight,
You also need to reduce your body fat rate, which is no easy task.
More importantly, weight gain also requires a reasonable diet and work and rest time. The entire training is a complete system. It is absolutely impossible to achieve it by relying solely on Gao Wen. He needs the help of the coaching team and the support of professionals.
Martin was not surprised by this.
Regarding the strength training, it was Martin who handed over to Grant. MacDonald, Giron and others also need to keep up with the corresponding strength training.
Now that Gao Wen's strength training has started, Martin is also considering gaining weight. It is undoubtedly the best time to complete it through professional diet and corresponding training during winter training.
Gawain took the initiative, and Martin followed the topic, "Mobility is your strong point, and you need to be careful when gaining weight; and we are not far away from the spring season. If you gain weight rashly, it may lead to unnecessary gain."
, destroying your growth trajectory chain.”
After pausing for a moment, Martin thought about it seriously, with a very cautious look on his face, "How much do you weigh now?"
"83 kilograms." Gawain replied.
Martin nodded gently and gave his own advice, "If after winter training, you can gain weight to 85 kilograms and control your body fat rate to about 10%, that would be great."
