Chapter 301 Using a Coach as an Assistant 7 (1/2)

Emily soon came to university with contracts prepared for Frank Davis, Coach Davis was also very decisive and as he knew he would work with Jake for many years under the conditions Jake imposed, so he sold his house in Austin, Texas.

Soon he found a hotel to host his family, he didn't know where Jake would live in a few years so it was better to wait until he bought another house for his family, with his salary they could easily live in a hotel and wait for Jake to leave college to see where they would buy a house.

His wife Zoe had quit her job to look after their daughter, and since they had nothing to hold them somewhere, it was better than the family always lived in a comfortable hotel than in Austin, Texas, just the two of them living alone.

That way things were easier for Coach Frank Davis who soon returned with his family to Jake University, then he met Emily and signed the contracts, so Emily returned to Miami and Coach Davis was hired.

Jake was kind enough to pay his first upfront salary as a kind of bonus and soon they started preparing for Jake's training, first Coach Davis followed Jake's daily training to learn how he prepared for marathons.

After all, Jake was a multiple marathon winner and had the world record, it was normal to hope that his training could help Coach Davis improve his training routine to pass to other athletes in the future.

So in the morning, Jake went to do his daily training as usual accompanied by Zack, Coach Davis went with them and took a timer and notebook to take notes, after doing the warm-up exercises Jake started running the 50 km.

After training was over Coach Davis was still calm and writing down some things in his notebook, after they got back to university and walked away from Zack they started talking.

”What did you think of my training?”

”Do you do this training every day?”

”No, I did before, but now at least twice a week I don't do this training because I have to conserve my stamina on days when I have games with the basketball team.”

”If you were doing this training every day before and have never had any injuries while still playing basketball, I think this training may be very good for you.”

Jake was surprised by this, in fact, he found his training routine very intense himself, this training only served him because Jake had the system and would not easily get hurt and his body recovered quickly.

He knew it was possible for elite athletes just like him to run 50km every day, but not at the running speed he did that was below the world record, so he didn't expect Coach Davis to say that this could be a good training method.

”I understand that you expected me to say something else, and I understand why you demanded that I sign a confidentiality agreement, and I was honestly surprised when I saw that you run below your own world record for 50 km.”

”But it's not that weird as training, it's just your running speed, and I suppose at the time of the competitions you don't want to risk it and so slowed your running pace.”

”But I think you are very careful, if you run every day at this pace you can surely run just over 42km at this pace and finish the marathon smoothly.”

”If you've never had any injuries even training so intensely this shows that your body is incredibly tough and your stamina is amazing too.”

”So before deciding how to improve your training routine I want to ask you to do several exams at the clinic and then let us rent an elite gym and test your physical limits.”

Just as Jake hoped he would have to take some exams before he actually started training with Coach Davis, but just because he hadn't neglected the training method he had been using since a few years ago, Jake had already liked Coach Davis more.

Knowing this Jake took some exams in the coming days before the next team's Tar Heels game, the exams were tedious, but Jake still did all the tests at the academy were more complicated because Jake wanted a secret about the test results.

So it took longer to achieve, but since Jake was famous for being a great marathon runner and having the world record in the marathon he got a guarantee of secrecy about his tests, few people were present at the test sites.
