Three days off, this afternoon is the day for the Normans to regroup.
In the office, Thomas put on a peaked cap in front of the mirror, adjusted the collar of his POLO shirt, tucked the hem of his shirt into his waistband, then put on a silver metal whistle, and finally tucked the tactical board under his arm.
He would tidy up like this every time before setting off to the stadium.
He feels that if a coach doesn't take training seriously and doesn't pay attention to details, how can he get all the players to train seriously?
He feels that the coach is both a mentor and a mirror. It reflects everyone's weaknesses and is what players imitate.
After walking out of the office, other members of the coaching staff also gathered outside the office. Thomas briefly said a few words about the content and goals of this training.
"Those brats have just had a holiday. You can never imagine what kind of indulgence the young people of this era will use. The main task today is to let the players recover. In addition, the current quarterback is a pure rookie. Let me do it." Special guidance..." Thomas said.
A group of people left the office area and as soon as they arrived at the stadium, they saw at least a hundred students standing outside the stadium. They applauded and exclaimed from time to time, and some even whistled.
"WHAT FUCK?" Thomas couldn't help but exclaimed.
He didn't know why the team he had worked so hard to discipline and worked so hard had become like this.
The team members in front of them, not to mention starting training early, even stood on the sidelines and acted as spectators. The stupid boy Flea was still whistling and cheering, which made Thomas want to kick him.
I have begun to miss Adam in my heart. If he were here, he would definitely not let the situation become like this.
Thomas picked up his whistle, and the sharp whistle filled the stadium.
"What are you looking at?! Is Sharon Stone being interrogated? Leave immediately!" Thomas roared.
He was referring to the hit movie "Basic Instinct" two years ago, which was once unable to be released due to certain scenes. The scene of Sharon Stone's trial is the famous scene of the film. In her memoirs many years later, she said that after learning that the clip had been edited into the theatrical version, she rushed directly into the office and gave director Paul Verhoeven a big slap in the face.
However, Sharon Stone, who became a hit with this film, went on to film many films of the same type, and her roles were pretty much the same. She was a blonde badass woman who walked the line between glamorous and slutty and deadly evil, and was full of benefits. . Maybe this is another dimension of "real fragrance".
The crowd dispersed in a hurry. This was not entirely the fault of the rugby players. In order to ensure the effect, they had previously conducted closed training. In fact, during daily training, the stadium was shared by athletes from several sports.
When the crowd dispersed, Thomas finally saw the culprit - Ethan O'Connor.
He stood at the 60-yard line from the goal and threw the football in his hand vigorously. The football flew over half of the field and accurately hit the bottom crossbar of the U-shaped goal.
This kind of ultra-long-distance passing is a test of touch, and a slight miss can lead to a thousand miles. It is very difficult for ordinary people to pass the ball so far with one hand, let alone hit it directly on the crossbar.
But in fact, this is of no use at all. The ball speed is too slow and is useless in actual combat.
Ethan is "showing off his skills and looking cool"!
Thomas even saw someone in the crowd holding a camera, a reporter from the school newspaper.
Do you regard this as your stage?
Thomas sullenly asked everyone to gather.
"The others are doing confrontation drills after warm-up and conditioning, let's get started."
"What about me?" Ethan asked, standing directly opposite Thomas.
"You have to familiarize yourself with the training rules first. It's best if you can recite them to me one by one, reciting them backwards and forwards." Thomas stared at Ethan.
"Coach, Ethan didn't do it on purpose. It was Rachel from "Highlights" who led people to take photos and let Ethan show off his skills. As a result, he shot farther and farther, almost catching up with the Guinness World Record. The onlookers also There are more and more people, and we can’t drive them away. They have occupied the court, and besides, training hasn’t even started yet.” Flea interceded for Ethan at this time.
"You mean, I'm too harsh?" Thomas asked with a smile.
When Ethan saw this, he immediately said: "I will tell Rachel that future interviews for "Highlights" will only be conducted after training. No one is allowed to affect the training. I will copy the team's training regulations tonight and hand them in tomorrow." for you."
Thomas's expression softened a lot.
"Go train, Flea." Ethan winked at Flea.
"Oh." Flea nodded, turned and left.
"You are the quarterback and the leader of the team. I will hold you to stricter standards than others, so you have to set an example." Thomas warned at this time.
"I will." Ethan nodded. He was about to turn around and leave to participate in the warm-up, but was stopped by Thomas.
He had to stand on the sidelines with Thomas and watch the players conduct warm-up training.
This is not Ethan's privilege, but the privilege of the "quarterback". In the team, the quarterback is often closest to the head coach, has the most communication with the head coach, and even needs to be in charge of the team. Some drills.
There are so many people on the football team that even the entire coaching staff cannot take care of everyone all the time. In fact, many things are done by the quarterback.
"Don't practice ultra-long yardage passes in private. This kind of ball is too slow. Your opponents in the playoffs won't give you this opportunity. Don't underestimate them." Thomas advised.
"I haven't actually practiced." Ethan shrugged.
In fact, he has been somewhat slack these past few days. He and Catherine are more often in love at night, and the intensity of working overtime at night has dropped.
As a result, not only was he not unfamiliar, but he actually had a better feel for the ball. Adam had shown himself this kind of super-large-yardage pass before, and he just followed it from memory, and he didn't expect it to be successful.
And at that time, Adam only threw it from a distance of thirty yards. He doubled the distance, and the success rate was even higher.
Perhaps, he already has a passing ability that exceeds Adam's.
Apart from "genius", I really can't find a second explanation.
"I haven't practiced before, so how did you make the shot?" Thomas turned his head and said in surprise.
Ethan scratched his head: "Actually, it's not sixty yards. Including the distance between the formation area and the goal, the distance is seventy-five yards."
"Ahem..." Thomas cleared his throat.
“Did any of your parents play rugby?”
"No."
"What does your mother do?"
"A supermarket salesperson, selling insurance privately, working as a housekeeper on weekends, writing scripts every night, once a housewife..."
Anyway, after all, it has nothing to do with any sports.
Catherine is a volleyball player, but she is not even remotely related to Ethan.
"Then it can only be understood as genetic mutation." Thomas found the answer.
"It seems that's right."
"Then you have to be careful. I don't want you to be suddenly taken away and participate in any human experiment similar to the MKUltra project." Thomas laughed.
Before and after World War II, the United States secretly recruited a large number of German scientists through the "Paperclip Project" and launched many scientific experimental projects after the war that seem very "black technology" today. MKUltra is one of them.
There are many misinformation about this experiment on the Internet. In fact, this plan is mainly used to study the effects of LSD on the human body. Commonly known as "truth serum".
Later, LSD spread to the people, including Aldous Huxley, who wrote "Brave New World". He later became the earliest LSD supporter and even wrote a book called "The Doors of Wonder". Detailed description of spiritual experiences under the influence of LSD.
In the end, LSD took advantage of the "hippie" trend and became completely popular in the United States, covering that "rebellious era" with a psychedelic outer layer, but underneath it was still the left-wing trend of the time.
"Let's go back to the office." Thomas turned around.
"No need to participate in training today?" Ethan asked.
"Don't worry about it for now. Your body may be a quarterback now, but your brain isn't. Training like this won't have any effect." Thomas added with a smile.
"I have to clean your brain first."
