There were no clouds in the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and the clear light blue sky seemed to be able to see the bottom at a glance, and I accidentally caught a few fish swimming in the shallow bottom.
Just like the climate in California, you don't feel the desolation of autumn and the cold of winter at all.
The breeze blows faintly, carrying the conversations and laughter of students on campus. Even if you close your eyes, you can smell the surging green and gold in large areas.
Time just slows down.
On the training ground, heavy breathing and the hot breath of sweat intertwined in the air. My ears caught those trivial sounds, and my heart surged along with them.
"... Pay attention to your core strength and keep your torso straight."
"Belly! Watch your belly!"
"balance!"
"Slow down, move slower, don't try to use inertia to maintain balance, slow down and feel the support and force of your core strength."
"When thinking, don't act mechanically. The brain should move along with the body and feel the force of the muscles."
"Very well, keep it up!"
"...One more set, don't stop, don't stop, one more set! Just grit your teeth and hold on, just one more set."
Focus, devote yourself, sweat like rain.
Peart's voice was guiding Gawain's training, and Sampras was sitting next to him, with stopwatches, computers, notes and other equipment available.
Offseason training has officially begun.
Three hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon, a combination of field training and gym training. In the evening, there is restorative basic training, and there is also tactical training. The whole day is completely filled from morning to night.
Even eating habits and work and rest schedules have been adjusted accordingly.
Methodically and step by step, Gao Wen is moving towards his goal step by step.
Now, Gao Wen is trying a new core strength training provided by the system——
Water bag.
In fact, in 2021 or 2022, water bag training has become popular among elite athletes and is widely used in different sports.
It is precisely because of this that when Gao Wen saw that the system provided corresponding water bag training, he accepted it as a matter of course.
But at the moment, this is still a brand new thing, and you can’t even find props.
So, what water bag is it?
To put it simply, it is similar to the principle of a waterbed, but smaller in size. It is a round long inflatable bag slightly wider than the shoulder. A certain amount of liquid is placed in it, but it does not need to be filled completely, but to maintain the fluidity of the liquid.
.
According to the weight of the liquid, it can be divided into fifteen kilograms, twenty kilograms and thirty kilograms.
When engaging in exercise, players hold both ends of the water bag with both hands, like carrying a pole, and place the water bag behind the neck and above the shoulders.
Then, start a series of related movements, such as going up the steps, squatting and standing in the golden rooster's independent posture, and jumping over obstacles.
When exercising, the liquid in the water bag is always in a flowing state, and the unsteady feeling of weight continues to break the balance of the body. This puts very, very strict requirements on the support of the trunk and the strength of the waist and abdomen, continuously.
The ground launches an impact on the core muscle groups.
Moreover, the water bag also has a trump card——
When the body's center of gravity tilts, the liquid in the water bag will all converge in one direction, which is equivalent to a weight of fifteen kilograms/twenty kilograms instantly rolling down in the same direction, arbitrarily destroying the body's balance.
It truly creates a strong effect of overwhelming the mountain.
At this time, an instant burst of core strength and coordination of the muscles of the whole body are required, which is very effective for exercising explosive power and balance.
Novel, special and efficient.
Of course, the most important reason why water bags were widely promoted later was because of "safety".
The damage caused by water packs to joints throughout the body such as knees is very, very low, because the strength of water packs is softer and tougher, which has a significant effect on reducing unnecessary injuries during player training, and has been proven by professional medicine.
Got more promotion.
Obviously, all this was new and unfamiliar to Sampras and Peart, and both of them were full of questions. However, after listening carefully to Gawain's explanation, Peart thought it was feasible, and then asked
I asked my sports expert friend and got the same answer.
Later, Tobias went to consult three different professional sports experts. Among them, a professor at Hopkins Medical School was particularly interested. He not only personally made two water bags for Gao Wen, but also sent an intern to go there.
To detect various data in Gaowen’s training.
Just one week.
Sampras and Peart realized that this training could be an epoch-making new method. It only took a week, and it was an eye-opener for them.
Moreover, thanks to the existence of the expert team, Sampras also began to record Gao Wen's relevant training data, preparing to launch in-depth cooperation with Hopkins Medical School to detect the training situation more comprehensively and scientifically. Looking forward to it
Training can be planned more systematically in the new season.
This is a new beginning.
Peart's voice echoed over the training ground.
"Squat down, stand up!"
"Bite the bullet! Very good! One more set!"
"Squat down, stand up!"
Little by little, Peart is using his wildest imagination, pushing Gawain to the extreme step by step, and exploring deeper potentials.
This kind of cooperation allowed Peart to regain the passion he had when working with Davydenko and Ferrer.
The air is filled with the smell of sweat.
At the same time, in the corner of the training ground, a bald man and a blonde girl stood outside the barbed wire fence, hiding their figures in the shade of the trees without alerting anyone.
The two of them looked at Gawain who was training, with confusion in their eyes. Apparently they had never seen a water bag before and couldn't understand it.
The two parties exchanged glances, and then realized that neither the other party could understand.
Then, the blonde shrugged, "Technology is developing so fast, and so are training methods. We old bones can't keep up."
The shiny bald head still had a study expression on his face, "Is the blue liquid in there water? It's always flowing, so it can never maintain balance?"
The blonde didn't answer.
After a moment of silence, the bald man asked again, "So, what do you think? Should I agree? If you think it's inappropriate, I can still refuse Peter now."
The blonde smoothed her loose hair behind her shoulders, with a smile in her eyes, "Andre, don't you already have the answer? You invited me over to take a look. This action itself is already the answer.
"
The bald man laughed twice and scratched his head.
The smile in the blonde's eyes deepened, "Pete also said that this is just a consultant, and you don't need to follow him around. You can try it, and if you don't like it, just tell Pete."
"Moreover, you have praised this young man in front of me more than once. Maybe you can give yourself a chance to see if you are suitable to be a coach."
