Chapter 283: Yoga Worked (2/2)
After a whole day's training, Feng Zhu rested for a while and appeared outside the training room with his head full of doubts, preparing to do yoga.
This morning when he got up, he thought that doing yoga was stupid, and he even wanted to stop doing it. However, what happened during the day changed his mind.
Still I don't think doing yoga is reliable. But now, better to believe something than nothing! Thinking this, Feng Zhu entered the training room.
...
The next morning.
Stretching for Feng Zhu, Coach Kong said, ”Feng Zhu, I think your muscles are much looser today than two days ago.”
”Looser? I didn't relax my training recently. I'm a little fatter, right?” Feng Zhu answered casually.
”Not that kind of loose. It's relaxation. Your muscles were very rigid before. I could feel it when I helped you stretch. It was so rigid that I was afraid of hurting you when I exerted more strength.” Tearing the leg to a larger degree, Coach Kong went on, ”But since yesterday, it has been different. Your muscles are not so rigid. Today is better than yesterday.”
Feng Zhu nodded thoughtfully. The first thing that came to his mind was the yoga that he did last night.
Coach Li's yoga is really effective! It's amazing that something like yoga works for professional athletes!
In this way, as a week passed, Feng Zhu progressed at an almost visible speed.
Feng Zhu himself could clearly feel that his flexibility was improving every day. Every time before training, the degree of his stretching was becoming larger and larger. And in daily confrontation training, he performed hard skills more and more smoothly.
...
Other players started to discuss Feng Zhu's recent performance.
”Feng Zhu is in perfect condition lately. I was completely defeated every time I practiced with him!”
”Exactly. I have no confidence to practice with him now. Last time, he gave me five points ahead, but I was still defeated.”
”Feng Zhu practiced overtime even after daily training. So it's normal to be so excellent.”
”He practiced overtime before, but why is he so good now? I think he was enlightened all at once.”
”The National Table Tennis Championship is about to begin, and I can't be slothful anymore. I'll go with him and practice more tonight!”
”I'll go with you!”
...
In the training room.
”Coach Li, I would not believe yoga could be so effective if I didn't experience it myself. If I had known that, I would have attended a yoga class two years ago!” Feng Zhu said excitedly.
”My yoga is different from others. This is specially designed for athletes, not like the kind of yoga in the gym,” Dai Li said, as it was true.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhu believed him. For the first reason, he didn't know other yoga coaches. For the second reason, Dai Li's yoga helped him with his body flexibility. At this time, Feng Zhu viewed Dai Li's words as truth.
”I must do well in this National Table Tennis Championship. It will be best if I can defeat one or two national champions!” Feng Zhu said with great morale. ”I want to prove that I am qualified for the national team!”
