v2 Chapter 18： : talented and incompetent

"Won't Coach Ochiai's training methods affect the relationship between the players?"

Minister Ota rubbed his hands and asked worriedly.

Director Kataoka didn't say a word and turned to look at Ochiai.

In terms of training, Supervisor Kataoka is more willing to trust Coach Ochiai's judgment.

At the Kanto Conference, he realized his own shortcomings, so he asked the fat principal and the dean to find an experienced coach to help. He is a qualified instructor, but not a good enough coach.

He doesn't want to turn the Qingdao High School baseball team into a team that only knows how to win.

He prefers to turn Qingdao into a place for players to pursue their dreams.

On the surface, the two do not seem to be much different. But in fact, there is a fundamental difference.

"I understand the minister's concern. Everyone is training together and shouting slogans together. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. But generally speaking, isn't it only the teams with weak overall strength that do this? Today's Qingdao, but National hegemon! If the mentality of the players does not change, they will suffer a big loss in the autumn competition."

In this regard, Ochiai, who has rich experience, is naturally the most vocal.

"Different players have to be treated differently, especially for talented players. As for internal competition, isn't that what Qingdo High School has always done? Open competition and only those who have achieved actual results can continue. Move forward. Instead of letting the players figure it out, let them just tell them.”

Ochiai finished.

Minister Ota and Supervisor Kataoka had no opinions. Although in their hearts, they thought that what Coach Ochiai said was somewhat inappropriate.

But to be honest, the previous Qingdao High School operated with such a system. It's just that it hasn't been publicly announced, and players who are truly conscious will naturally work harder.

If you take this as a rule, tell all players publicly.

Players who feel that they have hope will definitely work harder, and the gap in strength between players will become larger and larger. This is of course a good thing for competitive players, and it is also a good thing for the entire Qingdao High School.

But in Qingdao High School, not all the players were so talented. What will happen to those untalented players?

This is the reason why Supervisor Kataoka and the coaching staff of Qingdo High School did not publicly publicize this point.

"Telling those players who can't do it, they just can't do it, isn't it also a kind of kindness for them? The example of the third-year players, of course, I have heard of it. To be honest, I also admire it from the bottom of my heart. But they don't contradict our rule. Even if they were told in their first grade that they had no talent, would they give up on their own? What's more, we didn't tell them directly, but just passed the usual tests. , tell them. If you are not reconciled, then work harder than others. If you think you can't catch up, and you don't have the determination to give everything, isn't it a good thing for them to return to their normal study life now? The fish mentality, only regards club sports as physical exercise, it should not matter, anyway, they will not go for extravagant, wearing the jersey of Qingdao, to represent the school to play. Anyway, we will not kick the bottom of the training. out of the team."

Coach Ochiai's words completely persuaded the entire coaching staff headed by Director Kataoka.

In the past, everyone was only vaguely aware of it, but now it is similar to the explicit regulations.

Want the main number? Do you want to wear a Qingdo High School jersey and represent the school in a game?

Then try to get results in your usual training.

The back number is only given to the best performers. Usually, there are various quizzes. Even if you are a substitute, as long as you perform well, you will get a chance to play.

These are the guidelines that Ochiai helped Qingdo High School develop. Although Supervisor Kataoka followed this guideline before, it was not explicitly stipulated as it is now.

Once clearly stipulated, both the players and the coaching staff must implement them.

This kind of healthy competition will definitely allow the team of Qingdao High School to get rid of the influence of the third-year departure as soon as possible, and re-form their combat effectiveness.

"Coach Ochiai is really unwilling to be lonely."

Sawamura is not at all surprised by Coach Ochiai's approach. In his previous life, Coach Ochiai had already started doing this.

The effect is very good, of course, some sequelae are inevitable.

But for the healthy development of the team, such sacrifices are essential.

With the standards set by Coach Ochiai, the spirit of comparison among the friends immediately rose.

"Can I be their practice partner?"

Sawamura volunteered to be a training target for his partner.

In addition to the pitching of the pitching machine When hitting practice, a pitcher is essential.

After all, machines and people are different. If people are the target, not only will the batter's motivation be higher, but the effect will be closer to actual combat.

"Um?"

Director Kataoka frowned and looked at Sawamura.

Sawamura was a little embarrassed, but he said anyway.

"Pitching without an opponent is boring, and I want to take this opportunity to practice my ball control."

Practice ball control through actual combat.

It was a good suggestion, and Supervisor Kataoka readily agreed.

"Only ordinary straight **** are allowed, and there is no need to limit the control of the ball."

When Sawamura came on stage, Director Kataoka specifically warned.

The third-year players have left the team, and the new team has just been formed. Supervisor Kataoka didn't want these newcomers to lose confidence because of Sawamura.

"Don't worry! Not only will I use straight shots, but I'll tell them which corner I'm throwing."

Sawamura spoke very solemnly.

"Go ahead, wait for everyone to test, and then test again."

"Yes!"

Sawamura readily agreed.

"I'm coming too!"

In the distance, seeing Sawamura winning a chance to pitch, Akatsuki Fukugu was tempted and raised his hand to be treated equally.

"Okay, you line up behind Sawamura."

It is very rare that Director Kataoka spoke very well today, and agreed to Akaya Furutani's application.

"No, is this going to kill us?"

After listening to Coach Ochiai's words, the little friends who were in high spirits and ready to fight, all of them were just like the eggplants that were beaten by frost, and they lost their energy.

Against these two guys, how could they win?

"bring it on!"

Fronten was the first to stand up and walk into the strike area.

Seeing his figure walking out, the surrounding friends looked at each other, wondering what Qianyuan was thinking?
