Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 88: Trainer Competition (Sorry, this chapter is a little late)
Kitahara hesitated for a moment.

"I didn't have a clear plan for the team."

He originally only considered things other than training. He left technology to Shin Shinkyou, medicine to Miyamura Kyoko, and industry to Konan Tomomi. These were all things he promoted intentionally or unintentionally. The rest was for him to focus on arranging training and competitions.

But he had already been worried about not having enough time since he promised Ogurimao that he would not stay up late. After listening to what Komiyayama said, he thought about it seriously and realized that he could not rely on himself alone for training.

He is just an ordinary man, with the advantage of foresight at most.

Even if you focus on training work 24 hours a day, you can only take care of two or three horse girls at the same time.

It can even be said that the limit of his energy is limited to two horse girls.

Before, when there were only Oguruma and Shining Glory, he could arrange everything in order. But after Xiaowan also came to Kasamatsu, it was difficult for him to find time to personally take care of Xiaowan's injuries.

The inability to take care of him personally was also related to his limited medical skills, so before Xiao Haiwan officially participated in training, it was basically Kyoko Miyamura who was in charge.

With concrete experiences, Kitahara clearly realized that he needed help.

"But after your reminder, I think it is necessary to build a team."

He pointed at the horse racing ladies who were feasting at the table next to him and said, "From my experience, I can only take care of two at most. If I take care of one more, I will be neglectful."

"For each horse girl, the situations they face at different times are also different."

"Oguruma's weight training, Tamamo Cross's psychological issues, Kobayashi's foot strengthening, Inariichi is doing fine now, but to be honest, if she encounters difficulties in the future, then we will most likely be facing four different training or recuperation situations at the same time."

"One person's energy is definitely not enough."

He retracted his gaze, looked at Komiya and the others who kept nodding, and said, "In addition to energy issues, there are also efficiency and gains."

“Efficiency and gains? Brother, are you saying that Uma Musume and the others should cooperate in training?” Komiya interrupted, stroking his chin.

"Yes, you should have discovered it during this period of time."

Kitahara nodded. "Although there will be some minor frictions at the beginning, the effect of multiple horse girls training together will be better than training individually."

"I, Komiyayama, and Yusuhara are all professional trainers, and we are all very sensitive to data. You should have noticed that their data in all aspects have improved significantly recently, which is something that a single person can never achieve."

He then looked at Miyamura Kyoko alone, "Although Kyoko is not a trainer, the medical data should also show this, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Kitahara."

Kyoko Miyamura agreed: "I have carefully sorted out the nine body indicators, including morphological indicators, heart rate function, flexibility...

"From the growth curve alone, the increase may not seem obvious, but if we do a 'significance calculation', whether it is year-on-year growth or month-on-month growth, the significant difference between Ogurimao and others' data is more than 0.01, or even 0.05."

"That is to say, the data here also shows that their training effect is obviously better than when they are alone."

Nodding with satisfaction, Kitahara was about to continue speaking when Komiyayama suddenly raised his hand as if answering a question in class.

"Question: What is 'significance calculation'? What are 1.01, 1.05, year-on-year, month-on-month, etc...."

Kyoko Miyamura was stunned for a moment. She just pinched her chin and pondered how to explain it better, but Kitahara had already spoken subconsciously.

"That's statistical terminology."

"'Significant' refers to the level of risk you would take if you rejected the null hypothesis when it is true, also called the probability level or significance level."

"To put it simply, Kyoko compared the data of Oguruma and the others when they trained individually and when they trained together, and then performed calculations. The results showed that the error value exceeded 0.1 or even 0.5 percent."

"Generally speaking in statistics and medicine, if the values ​​exceed these two, the difference can be considered significant."

"As for year-on-year and month-on-month, as the name implies, it refers to the same period comparison with the previous set of data, and the month-on-month comparison within the current period."

After listening to Kitahara's explanation, Komiya nodded thoughtfully.

"I see..." Then she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about medicine. I thought you were amazing before because you understood Uncle Gu Jiu and Brother Yuyuan's medical plans. You actually know all this."

Uh… these are not entirely in the field of medicine, but statistics, business and psychology are all required courses…

Not knowing how to explain these situations, Kitahara cleared his throat and returned to the subject.

"In short, whether from a training perspective or a medical perspective, the data shows that multi-person training is better than single-person training, so it is even more necessary for us to form a team."

"That's my take, Yusuhara, do you have anything to add?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Yusuhara Taro.

"There are two things I would like to add."

He held up two fingers and put one down.

“One is about the future of rookie trainers like us.”

He glanced at Kyoko and added, "And there is a future for new medical professionals like Kyoko."

His expression became serious. "We all know that the competition among horse girls is fierce, even cruel."

“The same is true for newcomers like us.”

"The Nishizaki family, the Nanjo family, the Minamisaka family, the Kuronuma family, the Nase family, the Tojo family. The horse racing girl industry in Japan started late, but with the support of various financial groups, many trainer families have emerged over the past few decades."

He began to count on his fingers, "The horse racing girl industry in foreign countries developed much earlier than ours, and there are countless families with a long history."

"Among the ones I have come into contact with, there are big families with deep roots in Europe and America, such as Terrence, Ulysses, Rhodes, Locke, and even some royal nobles."

“Not only do they have a steady stream of new trainees, but they also have an extremely mature team.”

"For newcomers like us, the opponents or competition we face are even more intense than Uma Musume in some sense."

His expression became more serious. "We all come from ordinary families. In slightly better situations, perhaps only my mother and Brother Kitahara's uncle have enough experience."

"But my mother is only a local trainer, and Mr. Liuping is also from a local background. To be honest, they lack the foundation compared to those big families."

"I think that if ordinary newcomers like us want to gain a foothold after entering the central government, the best way is to do our best to train our horse girls..."

He clasped his hands together, "That's teamwork, that's strength coming together."

Kitahara was now deep in thought.

He really hadn't considered what Yuhara said at first.

My previous thinking was limited. I only thought about the competition among horse girls, but forgot that there is also competition among trainers!
Even more cruel and complex competition.

The victory or defeat of horse racing girls can be clearly revealed in the competition, but the victory or defeat between people is much more complicated and troublesome...

Yusuhara is right. I have to consider my competitors, otherwise I won't be able to help Oguruma and the others smoothly.

The best way is what Yuhara said, newcomers like us should work together.

Thinking of this, Kitahara was about to agree, but Yusuhara Taro had already looked at him.

Taro Yusuhara raised two fingers again.

"And the second thing I want to say is that I hope Brother Kitahara will become the core of our team."

Book friends helped to add a lot of knowledge about horse racing. It just so happens that the subsequent plot also needs to be sorted out. I will spend more time to sort it out during this period.
