Chapter 300 Using a Coach as an Assistant 6 (1/2)

After returning from classes Jake did the training with the basketball team and got a call from Tiffany, he perked up thinking it should be about the coach he was expecting.

”Hi Jake, I called to let you know that I was able to talk to that coach I told you about, he said he would get to university today to talk to you.”

”So fast, did you check him for me?”

”Yes, all is well with him, this coach has trained several universities without complaint and seems to have traveled around the state and even abroad to improve his coaching skills.”

”How does someone so qualified need money?”

”I checked that too, his reason is legitimate, but it's very personal so I'll let him tell you in person, but I think it's very likely that you will eventually decide to hire him unless you are very picky.”

After talking to Tiffany, Jake didn't have to wait long hours to see this coach she spoke so well, he appeared to be a healthy 5-foot man, black hair with a few white strands, was probably wearing a social shirt because he knew that He would find Jake, black eyes and a common face.

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith, my name is Frank Davis, I spoke to a woman named Tiffany on the phone and she told me that I should come here to talk to you in person.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Davis, I think we'd better go to a restaurant to talk better.”

After a few minutes they formed a restaurant near the university, Jake had not eaten anything early and Davis also did not seem to have eaten and seemed tired from the trip as soon as they ordered the food to the waitress again.

”What you said is right, I asked you to come here through Tiffany, I'm looking for a qualified coach and I think you might be the right person, but I know you have some personal situations that may be involved, so I would like to know some things about you.”

”That's right, I'm 40 years old, I have a degree in physical education and I did some muscle recovery massage courses, then I did a few more specializations and even sought to improve my ability abroad.”

”I worked at some universities for a few years, but I was not satisfied with their investments in athletics and athletes, in many places athletes had difficulty even paying for travel to compete and even for basic living expenses.”

”So athletes had to look for sponsorship to compete, they had a lot of problems with that, so I decided to open my own gym with the money I had received.”

”In that time I coached a lot of athletes, but none achieved outstanding performance in sports, the best ranking was eighth in a marathon that didn't have good athletes competing.”

”But I could still support my family and have a good standard of living, and I knew it would take years to prepare good athletes and had to be lucky to find someone talented, so I was pleased.”

”The problem was that my 6-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare disease, the disease could end up killing her and there was no cure, so we had to pay for a series of emergency surgeries.”

”After she was out of danger we found that we had to pay for expensive medicine every month for her to stay healthy and have a normal life when she grew up.”

”But at that point, I had sold the gym to pay for surgery costs and my wife had quit her job to take care of our daughter, now I need a job that pays better than I can expect to earn to pay for my medicine daughter and support my family.”

”This situation continues for a few months, I have a job and I still have money left from the sale of my gym, but I don't know how many years we can afford my daughter's medicine, and I found out from a coach friend that you were looking for a coach.”

Just as Tiffany hoped Jake felt touched by the life story of coach Frank Davis, someone capable but unlucky in life, he remembered him in his past life who also went through some such situations.

Also, just as Tiffany had said Mr. Davis was more than qualified to be his coach, so Mr. Davis also needed money so he should accept some demands from Jake.

Jake had no problems with money, in fact originally the money he received from sponsorship was precisely for him to pay a coach and devote himself to the sport, Jake never needed it and was always successful and so his sponsors never charged anything like this.

”Well then, Mr. Davis, I was really convinced that you may be the person I'm looking for to train me, but I first need to know how much you need to pay for these drugs to get an idea of ​​how much you need to get paid.”

Even if Jake had a lot of money he could not pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a month as salary for a coach, so he should know how much he could offer a salary for coach Davis.

”My daughter's medicine has a monthly dose that costs $ 10,000.”

A monthly dose for $ 10,000 meant that he would have to pay $ 120,000 a year, which was not too high for Jake, but for a lifetime remedy it was a considerable amount, and Coach Davis would have to receive more. $ 15,000 a month to support your family and still pay for the medicine.
