After receiving a reply from the other side, Lin Yahu returned to the team after the last training session and decisively chose to retire, despite the coach and teammates trying to persuade him to stay.
Subsequently, he quickly completed various retirent formalities and, just two days ago, returned to Jiang University to process his new employnt paperwork.
The reason for such a rush is nothing else but the Zhangjiang Province 15th Sports Gas being just around the corner. He must quickly position himself and conduct several rounds of practical training for Liu Xiaohu before the competition starts, to improve his performance as much as possible, hoping that Liu will achieve a good result in this sports et.
This is Lin Yahu’s first important event since joining Jiang University, and he urgently needs to achieve good results to prove his worth.
Previously, when he was an athlete, he was a good athlete, and now that he chose to be a coach, he will certainly be a good coach as well!
And because of this, even though Lin Yahu has been back for two days, he hasn’t had the chance to visit his junior, Jiang Yu, at the Seventh Dining Hall, let alone taste the delicious dishes made by Jiang Yu that he has been craving for.
But no matter how tempting the food is, he knows what’s more important.
The most crucial task now is to strengthen the "one-on-one" practical training with Liu Xiaohu. As long as he achieves good results in this provincial sports et, would good food be scarce for him?
Even having Jiang Yu cooking just for him... well, that seems unlikely.
But booking a private room on the second floor of the Seventh Dining Hall and having a nice al there, that shouldn’t be a problem.
"Xiaohu, oh Xiaohu, whether the coach can enjoy the als made by Junior Brother Xiaojiang depends entirely on you now. Even if you’re not motivated for yourself, you have to work hard for the coach’s appetite!"
Lin Yahu looked at Liu Xiaohu standing at the starting line in the distance and couldn’t help but mutter inwardly,
"If you can win the championship at the Provincial Gas, the coach will reward you with a big chicken leg... or a big chicken wing instead, since there’s too much at on a chicken leg, you might not handle it."
Rembering the mouthwatering chicken he had last ti at Number Seven Restaurant, Lin Yahu almost drooled. He quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, unconsciously smacking his lips, unable to help but sigh.
Ever since he returned to Jiang University these past two days, he’s been finding it increasingly difficult to resist the tempting delicacies of the Seventh Dining Hall. Just thinking about the dishes he had last ti, he can’t help but savor that long-lost delicious taste.
No, he has to resist!
If he endures this period, he will be able to go to the Seventh Dining Hall for als every day!
He steadied himself and looked into the distance again.
Liu Xiaohu’s face was full of seriousness, after taking a deep breath, he stretched his long legs and started running towards them, his agile figure and light steps were pleasing to the eye.
Bending his knees, gaining montum, jumping, Liu Xiaohu’s figure drew an arc in the air and landed heavily on the foam mat on the other side.
"2.2 ters! Cleared it!"
With the high horizontal bar remaining steady, Lin Yahu couldn’t help but feel elated, as he walked to Liu Xiaohu’s side, giving him encouragent,
"Xiaohu, your jump this ti was much more perfect than the last one. Rember, after jumping, you must arch your back forward, absolutely not relaxing, or you’ll scrape the bar with your backside like the last ti!
The bar wasn’t knocked down by your butt last ti, only because you jumped high enough. As long as your actions are standardized enough, I believe you can definitely jump over even higher heights!"
Pausing a mont, he smiled at Liu Xiaohu, looking concerned, and said,
"Alright, have so water and take a breather, then we can practice running. Your running actions are still not standardized enough, unfortunately, they’ve ford into a habit, and will need to change gradually."
"Mm."
Liu Xiaohu was also very excited. Since the beginning of this year, his training has been intense and tiring, yet he managed to grit his teeth and persist. The improvent in his results is obvious, elevating from 2.1 ters in just a few months to the current 2.2 ters.
The 2.2-ter height is the standard for male high jump national-level athletes, which ans that Liu Xiaohu is now up to national-level athlete standards.
Of course, trial jump results don’t count officially; he still needs to jump similar heights in the competition to gain recognition from the relevant departnts.
"The 2.2-ter height was cleared only once, the next jump may not necessarily go through, I still have to work harder!"
High jump sport greatly depends on condition. Clearing this height doesn’t an it can always be cleared; non-standard actions and poor conditions can likely result in failure.
However, Liu Xiaohu is confident. He believes in himself, since he managed to clear once, he can clear it two tis, three tis, multiple tis!
As long as he doesn’t relax and continues to train hard, he will achieve even better results than 2.2 ters!
After drinking a few sips of water, Liu Xiaohu sighed a few tis and started training again.
anwhile, Lin Yahu walked into a small building beside the stadium where the office of Jiang University School of Sports athletics team is located.
Just after Lin Yahu took a short break in the office, another athletics coach, Yin Tao, walked in. His face was dark with displeasure, still grumbling,
"A bunch of little punks, think they’re doing proud?!"
