Chapter 235 Preparations For The Olympics 1 (1/2)

After that game, Jake went to the basketball court saying goodbye to everyone, as there would be no more competitions this year. Jake saw no further advantage in continuing to train with the basketball team.

He had already talked to this with his teammates the day before and was just warning Coach Mike, Jake could always train basketball at home and in system space as well.

The physical training that was most important to Jake would continue to go on sometimes in the training of the football team or at his own home gym, in a few more weeks the court and the athletic field would finally be completed at Jake's house.

”I'm glad to have been your coach Jake, you are sure to become an NBA star in the future, and it will be a pride for me as it is now.”

”I also really enjoyed training with you Coach Mike, hope I can come here to talk to you sometimes.”

”For sure, you will always be welcome Hahaha.”

After that Jake would only have the classes to go to school, Jake already had the grades he needed to enter university, he knew that even if he took too much of his time school was an experience he would miss in the future, just as he had in the past.

At the end of the day, Jake returned home and took his shower and went to the bedroom to rest before his mother arrived, with the maids at home Jake no longer had to do homework as he had before.

He had run the 60 km again on the school's athletic field, if others knew of Jake's training routine would think he was preparing for the Ironman instead of the marathon.

But that was the only way Jake knew how to prepare for the Olympics, after all, he didn't need the race time to win better, so he could only increase the training distance to make it easier at race time.

When he lay down to rest Jake recalled yesterday's game, Jake himself thought that this was the best game he had ever played for his opponent's results and difficulty, Jake felt he had climbed another wall, but the system said nothing.

”Fate, what did you think of my performance in the final?”

[You played very well, what happened in the game is that you were able to make the most of your skills after you stopped holding back, it was smart to get my tip on space training from imagination training.]

”So you're telling me that I didn't really cross any of my limits and just did what I should with my ability?”

[Exactly, to be exact if you crossed a line was the barrier you put yourself in your way, yet it was amazing that you were able to do it alone in times of need.]

Jake was a little disappointed by that, in fact, what the system was saying was that he was incompetent before because he couldn't use his own resource as a player, the only thing he did in this game is to get back what was his own.

[Don't underestimate yourself so much Jake, you did it because it was necessary, you shouldn't always play your best against your teammates and weaker opponents than your team, otherwise, you can stand out and make people unhappy.]

[The important thing is that you now know how to make the most of your skills when you need them, at university, you will never have to hide your skills because there are still a lot of people who are better than you now.]

Jake knew that too and was excited for the new challenge, just as when he entered high school and was excited to face opponents who were better than him, unfortunately, he didn't get that opportunity because the coach didn't like him.

But on the college team, Jake knew that the coach could give him the opportunity to play with stronger opponents than him, it's exciting for Jake to start out weaker than others and fight to become the best in a few years.

He knew that after college he would no longer have this opportunity, as the system said he would now be entering the world of professionals when he had enough skill to be the best at university he would be considered good in the NBA.

That was a difference Jake had from other talented players his age, Jake knew why he had the system that wasn't the best and wasn't arrogant even though he was almost always the high school national championship MVP.

So he never tried to stop improving, very skilled young people thought that being the best in high school would be enough to get into the NBA and become a superstar, so the coaches liked Jake who didn't have that arrogance.

In fact just as the system said Jake was different from others and thanks to the system could also be considering a great genius so if he went straight into the NBA with a few years playing he could become a star just the same.
