Almighty Coach

Rivers handed the letter of resignation to the Athletic Association CEO Williams with a look of apprehension.

Williams took the resignation letter and asked at the same time: "Coach Rivers, why are you resigning?"

"I don't think I'm qualified for the job of head coach." Rivers showed a very embarrassed expression, and then continued: "My personal level is average and my ability is limited, so I can't be recognized by the athletes. Our training has encountered difficulties. There are too many obstacles, and the implementation is not smooth."

At this time, Rivers even felt a little fortunate that Irwin ignored his love and just gave him an excuse to resign. As the head coach, he couldn't lead the entire team. Rivers felt that this excuse for resignation was very good. Sufficient, Williams should not turn him down.

Although Rivers said it more tactfully, Williams nodded to show that he understood.

As the leader of the Athletics Association, Williams of course has to follow up the daily training of the track and field team, so he knows that Rivers has no prestige at all, and he also knows that Rivers is really doing something in the national team. I can't go down.

"The main thing is that Irvine didn't recognize Rivers. He didn't give Rivers the corresponding respect, so other athletes followed Irwin. It seems that I need to solve Irwin's problem first, if he has been like this , no matter who comes to be the head coach of this national team, they will not be able to continue."

Thinking of this, Williams also felt extremely helpless.

Irwin is not an ordinary athlete, he is the king of 400 meters, an athlete who has reached Irwin's level, can not give face to the Athletic Association. On the contrary, the Athletic Association needs Irwin to participate in the competition, gather popularity, attract more sponsors, and increase the commercial value of the Athletic Association.

Moreover, this year's U.S. team was affected by a doping scandal, a large number of athletes were forced to retire, and the U.S. team had very few gold points left. The U.S. team lost too badly at the Olympics.

In general, the Athletic Association has something to ask of Irwin, so even Williams, the CEO of the Athletic Association, dare not force Irwin to do something, at most it is a discussion. Williams made a certain request, if Irwin agreed, it would be for your face; if Irwin did not agree, the Athletic Association still had to offer Irwin as a living Bodhisattva.

No matter what it is, it is always very uncomfortable to beg for help, but for this Olympic Games, Williams can be considered to go all out. He must communicate with Irvine, so he accepted Rivers' resignation After the letter, Williams went to the training ground in person and invited Alvin to the training room.

...

Williams handed Irwin a bottle of unopened mineral water, and then said, "Jimmy, Coach Rivers has submitted his resignation letter."

"Oh." Alvin just agreed, showing no emotional fluctuations at all.

"Jimmy, I want to know, are you dissatisfied with Coach Rivers?" Williams asked with a smile on his face.

"Dissatisfied? Can't talk about it!" Alvin shook his head: "I just think his training level is very average, and he is not qualified for the position of head coach of the national team. Mr. Williams, you know that, Gao The level of physical training is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. If the coach’s personal level is not up to standard, the strength of the athletes will decline instead. So I did not follow Rivers’ instructions. I think that with his training level, not only will I not be able to maintain my current status. In some competitive states, the state may decline instead.”

"So that's how it is!" Williams made a look of sudden realization on purpose, and then said, "But you must know something about our current situation. The doping scandal a few days ago has had a great impact on us. Most of the first-class track and field coaches are involved. It is really difficult for us to find a high-level track and field coach to lead the national team. Rivers is the better choice we can find at present."

"I can understand what you said." Although Alvin said "understand", his expression was still ignoring.

I only heard Williams go on to say: "Now that Rivers has resigned, we will continue to look for a new coach to replace Rivers, but under the current situation, the candidates we can find may not be better than Rivers." Too many, maybe in your opinion, that is also a coach with poor ability. But for the sake of the US team, I hope you can accommodate the new head coach and cooperate with his training."

While speaking, Williams secretly observed Alvin's expression, hoping that Alvin would nod in agreement.

However, to Williams' disappointment, Erwin shook his head instead of nodding.

"Mr. Williams, all I can do is not to trouble the new manager, but if the new manager can't keep me in the same shape, I will not follow his training plan. "Alvin said.

William suddenly showed a helpless expression. What he said for a long time was nothing but not making trouble for the new coach. Now the entire track and field team is following Alvin's lead. If the new coach's training plan is not satisfactory With Alvin's approval, he is nothing more than the second Rivers, and he will leave in despair in the end.

Noticing the embarrassment on Williams' face, Alvin felt that he should make some concessions, and he said: "Mr. Williams, I think it's better to be like this. I won't participate in the next national team training camp. I will continue to follow." Having my old trainer work out so that I don't interfere with the other athletes, I think that's a viable solution."

"You're not going to the training camp? That's not okay! Absolutely not!" Williams immediately shook his head.

Irvine is the top card of the US track and field team, and the Athletic Association also expects him to gather some popularity and attract some attention. From this perspective, Irwin's symbolic meaning is even greater than the actual significance. If Erwin didn't come, it would mean that there were no giant pandas in the zoo, and it would lose its color in an instant.

"Then I really have nothing to do." Alvin also showed a look of helplessness.

However, in the next second, Williams thought of an idea.

"Alvin, since you are hesitant about our new coach, I don't think it's better than this. Our Athletics Association simply recruits your coach to the national team and lets him continue to coach you as the coach of our national team. This will not delay your training, I think this plan should be feasible, right?" Williams asked complacently.

Alvin thought for a while and answered: "This is indeed a feasible solution, but I don't think Coach Li may agree, he may not have the energy, and he may not want to be inferior to others and just be an ordinary coach .”

"Coach Li? Is that your coach? What's his full name?" Williams asked subconsciously. At this time, he still regards Dai Li's surname as "LEE" in English, which is also a relatively common surname in British and American countries.

"His name is Dai Li. There is a chain of physical training centers in Los Angeles. You may have heard of him." Alvin replied.

"Dai Li? That Chinese coach! So he is your coach! By the way, I remembered, he is Justin Alexander's coach!" Williams showed a surprised expression.

At the same time, Williams' mind began to come alive.
