Chapter 518 - The New Coach is too Adorable, but She’s Quite Strong as well (1/2)
May 14th, Saturday…
Pei Qian and Li Yaling got out of the car outside DGE Esports Club. After she alighted, Li Yaling scanned her surroundings expectantly. From the looks of it, Boss Pei had rented a villa at Ming Yun Villas for the body-building athletes to train at.
It seemed strange but not ridiculous.
Pei Qian did not say anything. Instead, he led Li Yaling into the villa.
It was past 9 AM on a Saturday morning. The entire living area was empty. Only Zhang Yuan stood by the whiteboard, writing the training schedule that he had planned earlier.
09:00 Wake Up
09:00-10:00 Shower, have breakfast, arrive at the training room
10:00-12:00 Analysis, meeting, training
12:00-12:30 Lunch
12:30-13:30 Rest
13:30-14:00 Warm-Up
14:00-17:30 Mock Competition
17:30-19:00 Dinner, rest
23:00-24:00 Analysis, meeting
24:00-01:00 Shower, keep cell phones, sleep
According to the daily schedule, the athletes had probably just finished washing up and were now eating breakfast.
This villa was not far from Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s Ming Yun Villas branch. They could choose to order Fish-Catching Take-Out or have their breakfast in the internet cafe itself.
When Yaling saw the schedule, she could not help but frown. It was so unprofessional! The feeling was intensified when she studied Zhang Yuan, who had been writing the timetable on the board. He did not look like he trained at all. Yaling thought that this was ridiculous.
It’s no wonder that Boss Pei wanted me to take over. Did they just randomly grab the current instructor off the streets? He was clearly an amateur! Wouldn’t he delay their progress?
The timetable was even more problematic. First of all, there was a huge problem with the sleep schedule. To keep the body in top shape, one should wake up at about 6 AM and sleep before 10 PM. Staying up so late would affect training progress!
On top of that, the timetable did not include meal details. At the very least, it should state how many times athletes should eat per day, what they should eat, and how much they should eat.
Last of all, too much time had been allocated for training. Professional body-builders varied. Some trained three to four times a week and only did a few simple exercises each time. Others had higher pain tolerance and worked themselves to exhaustion. Those athletes could train anywhere from eight to ten hours per week.
However, at the end of the day, how long an athlete should train depended on his or her body type. A one-size-fits-all method where everyone had to sleep past midnight was completely unscientific!
There would even be mock competitions. Li Yaling could not figure out what would be the point of having mock competitions for body-builders. Were they going to compete in striking poses?
She had many other opinions on the schedule. In her heart, she promised herself to change everything once she took over.
On seeing Boss Pei, Zhang Yuan quickly put his marker down. “Boss Pei, why are you here so early today?”
Pei Qian nodded and grinned as he said, “Yes, I’ve brought the coach here!”
Zhang Yuan clapped happily. “That’s great, Boss Pei! I was getting anxious, and so I found a training schedule online that the contestants could follow. I can relax now that the coach is here. The coach can set the new timetable!”
Pei Qian introduced the two of them. “This is the in-charge-cum-team-leader, Zhang Yuan. This is the professional coach, Li Yaling.”
Both of them shook hands. After that Zhang Yuan looked at his own hand, confused.
This girl’s grip is pretty strong! Li Yaling was dressed in long pants and a sweater today. Since she was quite small in stature, all of her well-built muscles were hidden underneath her clothes. On top of that, her face looked sweet and beautiful. One would not be able to guess her true strength from her appearance. Li Yaling had been feeling quite apprehensive at first. She had been afraid that she would teach badly and embarrass Boss Pei. However, after seeing the current situation, all of her worries dissipated. No matter what, she would definitely do a better job than Captain Zhang.
The only thing that she could not figure out was why there were so many computers in the living room.
Footsteps were heard outside the door. The contestants were back from their breakfast.
Pei Qian glanced at his watch: they were just in time. He quickly gestured for the contestants to gather around him.
“Coach Yaling, come on. I’ll introduce you to the ten contestants you’ll be training.”
Li Yaling was stunned. She looked at the young, skinny internet addicts and then looked at the serious Boss Pei. It was then that she realized something was off.
The ten of them were even worse than Zhang Yuan!
Although she could tell that Zhang Yuan had never trained in his life, at least he had muscles. On the other hand, the ten contestants either looked as skinny as monkeys or overly plump. Some had hunched backs, and some had twisted bones. Even their postures were problematic.
Obviously, those ten people were not body-builders.
Then, Li Yaling thought about the computers in the living room. All of a sudden, she understood something. At the same time, the ten young, internet addicts formed a row in the living room and sized their new coach up. Many of them instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with her.
So… so adorable!
Strictly speaking, Yaling’s face was quite bewitching. She was sweet and beautiful, especially in the baggy sweater and jeans that she had on today. They covered her muscles and accentuated her figure perfectly.
Of course, none of the internet addicts had seen anyone like her. At once, all of them became more autistic. All of them had been expecting to see an oily, middle-aged man or a more experienced internet addict like themselves. They would never have thought that their coach would be a cute girl.
This was so exciting!
