Almighty Coach

University of Tennessee.

Although it's summer vacation, there are still many students on campus.

The summer vacation of American college students is very busy. Due to the high tuition fees of universities, most students rely on student loans to go to college, so using summer jobs has become the best way for college students to reduce their personal financial burden. Many businesses will also set up summer jobs specifically for students.

In addition, many college students will participate in social practice activities, especially some students who are about to graduate, will use this time to prepare for employment.

In addition, universities often offer summer courses, which are short in time and subject to high academic pressure, but can earn credits quickly.

For those college students who receive full scholarships, their summer vacation is much happier. Full scholarships in American universities include living allowances, so students who receive full scholarships don’t need to worry about financial pressure. They can live their college life comfortably and do what they want to do during summer vacation.

Ellis Meite is such a college student. He studied gymnastics when he was young, and started to practice sprinting in high school. The coach found that he was very good in body flexibility and control box, so he asked him to practice 110 meters hurdle. As a senior, Mette won the state hurdling championship in Georgia, so he was also favored by the University of Tennessee, who gave him a full scholarship.

The University of Tennessee also has a tradition of hurdling. There are many well-known hurdlers among their alumni. In the first year of entering the University of Tennessee, Mette broke the 110-meter hurdles school record that the University of Tennessee had sealed for 24 years.

Of course, compared with many mature athletes, Mette is still immature. He also has many shortcomings of young athletes, such as immature skills, lack of experience in competitions, and unstable performance during competitions.

Not long ago, Mette also chose to participate in the Olympic trials, which was the largest competition he participated in, but the result was not satisfactory. Mette was eliminated in the first round of preliminary competition.

Obviously, that is not Mette's true level, he played too badly during the competition, but as a young athlete, this is the tuition he has to pay. And Mette also knew his shame and was brave. After being eliminated in the trials, he immediately devoted himself to training.

At this time, Mette was sweating profusely on the training ground. Even in the summer vacation, he still did not choose to rest. On the contrary, he also increased his training volume.

Mate also knew that he had won the school's full scholarship by relying on hurdles. If he couldn't create good results, the full scholarship might be lost.

After a day of training, Mette dragged his tired body back to the locker room. After taking a shower, Mette lay on the bench in the locker room, enjoying the moment of leisure.

A teammate walked over from the side and asked, "Ellis, do you have any plans for tonight?"

"No." Matt shook his head.

"I know there is a party going to be held in a place, do you want to go together? Maybe there are many beautiful girls!" The teammate asked.

Mette hesitated for a few seconds, and finally shook his head: "No, I have to rest early today, and I have to get up early for training tomorrow."

"The training is so desperate, it seems that the Olympic trials have hit you hard!" The teammate paused, and said; "Do you want to enter the national team that much? There are only three places in one event, and there are so many in the United States." Athlete. Hehe, I'm not looking down on you, but it's really too difficult."

Mette sat up and said, "I thought I could enter the semi-finals, but I was eliminated in the first round. I think my hard work is not enough, so I have to redouble my training. The World Championships will be held two years later. , I'm already going to enter the national team!"

Seeing Mette's determined expression, his teammates decided to comfort him, so they said: "Ellis, I think it's a good thing that you didn't enter the national team this time. The doping scandal As you know, the head coach of the national team, Sebastian, is actually a senior 'pharmacist', and if you want to go to the national team, you might be spoiled by him."

"Moreover, many athletes in the national team were also involved in the doping scandal and were forced to withdraw. This has had a very bad impact. The current national team can be said to have a fluctuating military spirit and no desire to fight. When it comes to the Olympics, I am afraid There will be no harvest!"

"In addition, the news said that the Athletics Association announced yesterday the candidate for the new head coach of the national team. It turned out to be a foreign coach, and he was also a Chinese! Can you imagine that a Chinese is the head coach of the US National Track and Field Team! We even have a qualified Even if the coach can't be found, this national team is completely finished."

"Aren't you mistaken? The Chinese head coach? Is the Athletic Association crazy! If you are a British or a German, this is barely reasonable, but a Chinese, the track and field in their country is so bad, even in Asia isn't the most prominent either... Could it be that our American coaches are all dead!" Mate couldn't believe her ears.

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, take a look." The teammate threw the phone to Mate, and it contained the news that Dai Li was the head coach of the U.S. national track and field team.

Mette carefully read the news several times, and then took a long breath: "It turned out to be true!"

"How about it, are you glad that you didn't enter the national team?" The teammate smiled slightly, and then said: "So you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Sometimes even if you enter the national team, it may not be the same It’s a good thing. You don’t always think about training and training, you should also relax yourself when appropriate, such as going to that party together at night.”

"It makes sense, a national team led by a Chinese coach, even if I come to invite me to join the national team, I won't go!" Mette snorted coldly.

At this moment, an administrator from the school appeared at the door. Instead of entering the locker room, he knocked on the door frame and said, "Ellis Meite, someone is looking for you outside."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mate quickly put on his clothes, walked out of the locker room with his bag, and his teammates followed closely behind.

Passing through the corridor and coming to the hall, Mette saw a yellow man standing there at first sight.

"Is that person looking for me? I don't seem to have any Asian friends! Wait, that person looks familiar, where did I meet him?" Mette suddenly remembered what he just saw on his teammate's phone that photo.

"It's him! It's the new head coach of the national track and field team. I just saw his photo!"

...

In the hall at the end of the corridor, Dai Li was looking around when Mette walked over from a distance.

Dai Li looked at Mate, and when he approached, he asked, "Are you Ellis Mate?"

"Ah, yes!" Mette looked very surprised.

"Hi, my name is Li Dai, and I'm the new head coach of the U.S. national track and field team. I want to ask you, are you interested in representing the U.S. team in this Olympic Games?"

"You really came to invite me!" Mette was stunned.
