Chapter 62 Randy Huntington

July 20, 14:30 pm, Mountbatten, Croydon Medavi Stadium.

In 20 minutes, the men's long jump qualifying competition will begin. There are 39 contestants in this qualifying competition, divided into two qualifying groups, with a total of 12 places for the finals.

Walking into the stadium, Wei En heard someone shouting his name from the auditorium on the side. He turned around and saw that they were a group of young men and women in their twenties. Judging from their age and appearance, they should be from the University of Moncton.

International students.

During the 100-meter preliminaries in the morning, the people cheering him on in the stadium were all members and staff of the representative team. Now that there was suddenly a group of international students, the feeling was still very different.

After waving his hand to greet them, Wei En followed the team of athletes to the long jump venue and began to prepare for the competition.

He was placed in the first qualifying group. None of the 17 players in this group looked familiar to him. The only name that impressed him was Spanish player Eusebio CáCERES.

The reason why I have an impression of this name is that when I watched the Doha World Championships in 2019, I paid attention to the long jump event and saw that he was Wang Jianan's opponent, so I specifically clicked on his official IAAF website to take a look.

As for the specific strength of Eusebio Cáceres, he really didn't remember it. Anyway, he was not stronger than Wang Jianan.

Wei En is very focused when playing the game. Even in the preparation stage, he rarely looks elsewhere.

So he didn't see that his coach Chen Wenzhong was chatting with an old white man using the Chinglish he had practiced for two and a half months.

The old white man was quite tall, more than half a head taller than Chen Wenzhong. He had different eyes and a kind face. He was wearing a baseball cap and the uniform of the Hanguo team. He was talking to Chen Wenzhong in a friendly manner.

If you observe his eyes carefully, you will find that although he is the coach of the Hanguo team, his eyes are fixed on an athlete wearing the uniform of the Chinese team in the long jump field.

"Mr. Huntington, are you really kidding?"

"Of course I'm not joking, Mr. Chen." Randy Huntington said with a smile, "This kid's special technical movements are the best among the Asian sprinters I have ever seen. 10 seconds and 14 seconds will not be a problem for him. As long as he

If he can maintain the same condition as in the previous two months and encounter a good wind speed, I'm sure he can easily run within 10 seconds."

Chen Wenzhong was naturally very satisfied to get such an answer from this master-level coach in the American track and field world.

After being happy for a while, Chen Wenzhong remembered some of the things Wei Enhe mentioned to himself, and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Huntington, I heard that you have a [Championship Model] theory that can help athletes quickly find out their shortcomings in ability."

Where?"

"Um, um..." After hearing this question, Randy Huntington didn't know how to answer. After organizing the language logic, he said:

"The [Champion Model] does not belong to me alone. It is a systematic theory and practice system summarized by many track and field coaches, experts and scholars in Europe and the United States through decades of scientific and practical research. Of course, those who can skillfully use the [Champion Model]

There really aren’t many coaches for models, hahaha.”

"Using the [Champion Model] as a guide, high-tech instruments and equipment are used to conduct comprehensive monitoring of athletes' physical fitness, technology, physical recovery and other aspects. Based on this, we can identify problems, look for differences, and finally formulate personalized training plans to further enhance our strengths."

Compensating for shortcomings and comprehensively improving athletes' competitive abilities is a complete process of the [Championship Model]."

Chen Wenzhong nodded repeatedly, but in fact he half understood and half understood what Randy Huntington said. He really didn't understand the meaning of some words, but he still understood the general meaning:

[Champion Model] The water is very deep and you can’t grasp it.

After giving Chen Wenzhong a brief explanation of what [Champion Model] is, Randy Huntington pointed at Wayne on the court and said: "This kid's talent is very high. I see the shadow of Carl Lewis in him.

But talent alone cannot become a historical athlete like Carl Lewis. But I am very pleased that he can have an excellent coach like you, Mr. Chen. It can be seen from his special technical movements that he has received

Training is very scientific..."

"Um...Actually, I'm not as good as you said, because a lot of training content and concepts were proposed by him himself. Especially the long jump event, so far his training plan and content are all

The only thing I can take charge of is his 100-meter project that I formulated myself."

"..."

"What?" Randy Huntington's face was filled with question marks. He suspected that he had heard wrongly, but Chen Wenzhong's expression told him that what he just said was the truth.

"Wait, you mean..." Randy Huntington danced and said: "A child who is under 18 years old but can jump 8.34 meters has his own training plan and content, so

His main event is actually the 100 meters, and the long jump is just a side event?!"

Chen Wenzhong nodded: "I know this may be a bit outrageous, but it is true. He is not an official member of the national team yet. I am just a provincial team coach in China, and it happens that our provincial team does not have an excellent long jump coach.

So since he came to train with me, his main event has been the 100 meters."

Randy Huntington swallowed his saliva and looked at the Chinese boy wearing a fiery red uniform on the field in disbelief, and then at Huang Xiantai, the young man from Han State whom he was currently coaching.

Hey, you are also a "genius boy" in your respective country. You are three or four months older than others. They have jumped 8.34 meters without the guidance of a coach. You only jumped 7.76 meters under my hands...

Alas, Randy Huntington has always believed that scientific training can make up for the lack of talent to a certain extent, but...

Sometimes you have to admit that talent is actually more important than scientific training and unremitting efforts.

Your efforts are just the lower limit for others.

In the past few years when he was hired by the Han Country's national track and field team, he had come into contact with many of the so-called "genius boys" in the Cold Country, but every time he used the [Champion Model] to conduct a comprehensive evaluation on them, Randy Huntington would be disappointed.

But what disappointed him the most was not the talent of the athletes, but the system and unspoken rules of Han State that he could not understand at all.

As he gradually got to know those athletes who were older and less enterprising, he turned his attention to those younger and energetic young athletes, thinking that those older athletes were hopeless, and he held the

Hanguo's high wages should help Hanguo cultivate several Asian-level future stars.

After a while, he suddenly found traces of beatings on several young athletes he was following. There was even a boy he was more optimistic about who came to him and said: "I'm sorry Mr. Huntington, I may not be able to adapt to your style."

Regarding the training content, you should not pay so much attention to me from now on."

He was silent...

The talents of these young athletes are not high enough to quickly reach the Asian level. They have to endure the pressure of the senior players in the team. How can they get ahead?

"oh--!"

There was an exclamation in the stadium, Randy Huntington dismissed those bad memories and looked ahead.

It turned out that the Chinese boy named Wei En jumped with an amazing result. Before him, 8 athletes had tried the jump, but the best result was only 7.59 meters, and he...

In fact, in the first jump, I jumped 8.15 meters, and it was 1.1 meters per second against the wind!

After seeing that the results were valid, Wei En applauded himself and turned around to say hello to Chen Wenzhong. Suddenly he saw the old white man next to Chen Wenzhong staring at him.

An American old man and a Chinese boy smiled at each other across the railings at Croydon Medavi Stadium.

The weather in Moncton is really nice today.
