Chapter 92: Super High-Intensity Training (2/2)
In the very beginning, coach Ding didn’t pay much attention to Li’s massages. As a track coach, massaging was a required skill, due to the fact that athletes built up lactic acid or even inflammation during training. Coach Ding still remembered back before Lin had become famous, it was he who had massaged Lin. But as time went by, coach DIng noticed some differences.
Lin looks content. Is it because Li’s massage really works? Coach Ding looked at an exhausted Lin, pondering.
After a while, Lin stood up. Although he still looked tired, he was more relaxed and energetic. It was obvious in the follow-up training.
Coach Ding was one of the world’s top coaches, so he could tell what Lin’s status was just by one glance, whether it be physical or mental. What coach Ding was finding now was that after a massage from Li, Lin looked completely different. He didn’t look like an extremely tired person at all.
The massage looks effective. Considering Lin’s high-intensity training, if one massage can put him in good condition it is impressive. The famous masseuses I know might have such an ability, but ordinary masseuses cannot do it.”
Thinking about his, coach Ding turned to Dai Li involuntarily.
It was after Li joined our team that Lin started to train regularly. Even though I don’t understand why they have been doing broadcasting gymnastics so much, it is also true that he returned to his original status within two months. Did Li really make everything happen this way? Lin asked Li to stay for another month. I used to think that Lin had found some common interests with Li, but now it looks like it is probably because of Li’s massages. Seems like I underestimated Li.
Coach Ding kept thinking to himself, then walked close to Li and said, ”Li, you are good at this. Have you ever learned to massage before?”
”My undergraduate major was physical training. I learned some subjects about massage. My teacher said I was gifted in this area, so I had some special training in it,” said Li.
Li realized that Coach Ding had noticed his muscle relaxation. He himself also knew that the massage was abnormal, and if he said he had never learned it before coach Ding would have his doubts about him. Besides, Li didn’t learn from any teacher. To cover it up, he used ”gifted skill” as an excuse.
Coach Ding nodded agreement. ”Talent” was something that could not be explained with theories. There were always some gifted people in all areas. Ordinary people might not be able to reach their level even if they struggled their entire lives.
Coach Ding kneaded his waist, then said, ”Li, my waist has been hurting for days. Could you give me a massage after you finish training?”
