Chapter 213: Running well does not mean teaching well
Don Quarry, full name Donald O'Reilly Don Quarry.
Don Quarry was born in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, on February 25, 1951. He is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms. He was one of the world's top sprinters in the 1970s. Don Quarry entered the Jamaican national track and field at the age of 17.
The team has participated in four Olympic Games and won a total of 4 medals: 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze.
Main competition record in his life - runner-up in 100 meters in 10.07 seconds at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. He was only 0.01 seconds away from the champion Hathery Crawford of Trinidad and Tobago's 10.06 seconds. Unfortunately, he was ranked second.
.
At the same time, he won the 200 meters in 20.23 seconds, winning Jamaica's first Olympic sprint gold medal in history.
Third place in the 1980 Moscow Olympics in the 200 meters in 20.29 seconds.
In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he cooperated with teammates Lawrence, Meghu, Stewart and Edwards in the 4X100m. He won the preliminaries in 38.93 seconds, advanced to the semi-finals in 38.67 seconds, and ran 38.62 seconds in the finals, second only to the powerful
The United States team (gold medal in 37.83 seconds) won a silver medal.
In his 4 Olympic career, he has won medals in 3 of them, and he is also the first gold medalist in the history of Jamaica, which is of great significance.
No matter how you look at it, he is a heavyweight guest.
It seems that his career resume is also extremely brilliant.
but……
There is a problem here.
First of all, Don Quarry was a sprinter in the 1970s and 1980s. The shorthand technique at that time was completely different from the shorthand technique now. Moreover, his best personal PB was only about 10 seconds, and he was not a professional.
Su Shen is very doubtful about whether it is okay to carry out follow-up coaching and other studies and rest on his old background.
Absolutely no disrespect is meant, but running fast does not mean teaching well. Otherwise, Bolt could just become a coach, and what kind of Mills would be needed? In fact, most retired athletes cannot transform into coaching, nor can they become coaches.
Without the ability to conduct scientific research to prepare for war, scientific research-oriented athletes have been rare throughout history.
Obviously, Don Quarry, who won the first gold medal for Jamaica, does not have this ability.
Su Shen's judgment was actually not problematic at all.
Because at this time in history, Don Quarry did indeed come here and hired him with a weekly salary of more than 1,000 US dollars. But in the end, everyone knows that it had no substantial effect. It was just this
At this point in time, Su Shen didn't even join the provincial team. How could he come into contact with the affairs of the National Youth Team? Moreover, Tang Quali's time here was too short, and his superficial knowledge did not leave any traces in history. Su Shen naturally
Don't know much about him.
On the days of reporting, many talents came one after another from all over the country.
For example, Zhang Peimeng from the Imperial Capital, old rivals Yin Hualong, Wen Yongyi, Xiao Liuyang, and Liang Jiahong are not to mention the original geniuses of Guangdong Province. In addition to these, there are also some old people who are not trained by the national youth team.
For example, the biggest sprint star in China at the moment, Da Liuyang, has already made an appointment with Su Shen.
In this regard, you are actually the top star in the country. I just need you to say hello and you can come.
no problem.
It's just a matter of cost, please take care of it yourself.
In addition to these, there are also some younger seedlings who have been sent out, but the main tasks are clear to everyone.
It is in this generation that can achieve results.
"Little Master, as promised, I'm here." Da Liuyang greeted Su Shen enthusiastically when he came over. He had the eager character of an old brother. Su Shen also had a good impression of him, and besides, he was "very young"
It’s really rare these days to be so enthusiastic about running.
"Little master, you have to guide me well this time."
"Brother Liu, don't call me little master, just call me Xiao Tian."
"That's okay." Da Liuyang insisted: "Since you are serious about coming here to learn skills from a teacher, then you must call yourself like this. As the old saying goes, there is a hierarchy of skills and specializations after hearing the Tao, and those who master it are teachers. I worship you, then
I want to call you little master."
Unable to defeat Da Liu Yang, Su Shen had no choice but to give up, but he also had a better impression of Da Liu Yang, a senior who had retired long after his official debut in his previous life.
"Congratulations, Xiaotian. I heard that you broke your PB again in the Guangdong Provincial Track and Field Open. The 10.30 seconds at the age of 16 is really amazing." Zhang Peimeng also came over to greet Su Shen and express his congratulations. Zhang Peimeng this time
When we met, it was obvious that his demeanor was much more restrained, and he lost the outgoing arrogance that he had when he was called up to the national team early when they first met.
It seems that this National Games failed to achieve anything, which was a big blow to him.
I got to know myself again and was no longer so distracted.
This is actually a good thing for him.
"You're not bad, let's work together for this youth training." Su Shen and Zhang Pei shook hands fiercely.
Afterwards, Yin Hualong and Wen Yongyi also came over to greet Su Shen. This scene made Zhou Bing jealous in his heart.
These are all the famous bosses and young leaders in the industry in his heart, and the result is that they are all on Su Shen's side, and they are extremely enthusiastic.
Looking back at myself, no one greets anyone.
I'm so angry, I must work hard, and then let you look at me like this!
Zhou Bing secretly clenched his fists in his heart, his ambition rising again.
As for why he is only so close to Su Shen, it's not because of... some "lonely and arrogant people" who simply ignore people and seem to reject people thousands of miles away.
Coupled with his height of 1.8cm, excellent PB, and handsome and handsome face, to be honest, no male compatriots can feel comfortable in front of him.
So it was automatically avoided.
After everyone said hello, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I saw Yuan Guoqiang in the distance bringing a black man who was not tall in stature.
When Su Shen took a look, it turned out to be Don Quarry, the statuette player who won the gold medal for the first time in Jamaica.
The people around were slightly shocked.
To be honest, Su Shen is actually quite curious about such a famous figure in the running world, if...he doesn't come here to coach this time.
Su Shen has already coordinated the plan for this game. It doesn't matter if Don Quarry can reach the level of Randy Huntington. They can cooperate with each other, but if not, then he has to find a way.
This winter training, he is not here to play. There are many things that need to be done. Even though there are only 100 days, time is still very tight.
The first impression of Don Quarry of the Su Shen team was actually quite good. He felt quite enthusiastic and did not look down on everyone. Maybe it was because Jamaica was not a powerful country in the first place. And I heard that his arrival was from Jamaica.
Recommended by the domestic ambassador, I started to try the "invite in" approach.
Don't waste any time and start training directly. After all, it all costs money.
The time is only one week, and there is not much free time. We must quickly make the money work.
Hong Kong is so real.
As soon as I entered the training section, I saw these leg raises on the spot, leg raises with weights on the shoulders, 30-50 meter acceleration running with sandbags tied on, breath-holding running, ankle trot, straight back running, back kicking, and step running.
, lunge and vertical jump, pursuit running, acceleration running, short distance combination running and other training environments... there are only four big words in Su Shen's mind.
Very disappointed.
This is actually not surprising at all.
Among those who can run, who are the best at teaching and conducting research and promotion?
Too few.
Not to mention running, basketball and football are the same for almost all sports.
People who can be both coaches and athletes at the same time are rarer than phoenixes.
And what surprised Su Shen the most was that he was still emphasizing heavy training volume and strengthening physical training???
Ah this...
Su Shen:???
But suddenly I remembered that I had watched Bolt's biographical movie before. In it, Bolt said that the training load of his former coach at that time was too heavy, which made him physically unbearable, so he chose Mir.
Si. This actually reveals a message - at this time, the training in Jamaica is probably more advanced than that in the country, but it is also a road paved with countless people as ashes.
What's more, the world of track and field is still dominated by Lao Mi.
Without Mills leading this group of men to rise, Jamaica still would not be able to overcome the hurdle of the United States on the men's road. At least Bolt would be tortured by injuries.
When these several events are linked together, a general fact can be drawn.
Nowadays, apart from Mills, the training in Jamaica is actually not that good.
Although there are merits, for example, Don Quarry said - coaches should also strengthen communication with athletes. Communication is very important. You need to know what the athletes are thinking, and then you yourself must also think about what they need.
, and then you will know what is best.
Regarding the system, it was also proposed to pay more attention to core training, but to be honest, the rest is not as advanced as imagined.
Although, he did not slack off just because he was the "coach for the week" and the whole teaching process was very serious.
However, the same thing remains the same.
During this period, there have been too many changes in the sports world. How can he still use some old routines from the 1970s and 1980s?
During these times, he was not coaching at an elite level in China.
If this happens, there will be a big problem.
The key point is that these domestic coaches have the illusion of, "Oh, I think so too" and "That makes sense."
This is definitely not a good thing.
Even Yuan Guoqiang seemed a little intimidated by the name of this richest man in Jamaica. He nodded repeatedly and studied hard.
Su Shen didn't have time to waste. The next day, he saw that the pattern was still the same, so he had no choice but to make this move.
I saw him take a deep breath and step out.
PS: This person is really here, and he also came to coach at this time. Originally, the easter egg was to post this old news, but I couldn’t get through it after posting it twice. I had no choice but to hit it with my hands. This was before Quali left.
Answer in an interview with Oriental Morning Post - "I think they need to strengthen physical training, and coaches should also strengthen communication with athletes. Communication is very important. You have to know what the athletes are thinking, and then you have to think about it yourself.
What do they need?”
Quarry does not think that the training methods of foreign coaches are necessarily better than local coaches. He said that Jamaica has a long history of track and field, while Chinese sprinting has just started and the athletes are still very young. We are just working together for Chinese track and field and learning from each other.
You can carefully understand the meaning of these two paragraphs, especially the last sentence, which probably gives many domestic coaches the illusion that they are not bad either. Manual dog head.
