Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 14 Frustration Education
Outside the training hall.

Tang Sen personally saw De Klerk out.

He stopped and said worriedly, "Tang, did I hit him too hard just now?"

That’s right, Tang Sen gave himself a chance, had a great fight, and got back the upper hand.

But thinking about the end of the game, Brown looked like he was about to cry, and De Klerk felt a little reluctant.

It is obvious that Brown's skills are too poor. If someone like Tangsen asks him to directly replicate his own movements, you can imagine how bad his performance will be.

He's a good kid. Don't let yourself get depressed.

"It's okay."

Tang Sen shook his head and said, "Brown lacks confidence and needs constant encouragement, but he's also easily complacent. After all, he's too young and immature. This is what I need to do to make him realize how far he still has to go."

"If I encourage him and urge him to train at this time, the effect will be better. As a famous Chinese saying goes, knowing shame will lead to courage."

Brown needs encouragement to help him build self-confidence, but blind encouragement is not enough. Frustration education is also necessary.

De Klerk nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly gave Tang Sen a thumbs up: "Tang, I feel that you should not be a trainer, but a head coach."

Ordinary trainers do their jobs for money, but none of them are like Tang Sen, who also finds ways to encourage players and cares about their mentality.

That's the head coach's job.

"I would like to, but there is no chance." Tang Sen laughed and waved goodbye.

De Klerk got in the car, rolled down the window, and asked, "By the way, Don, have you contacted Coach Kruger?"

Tang Sen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Back then, Lon Kruger personally went to mainland high schools to recruit me and had high hopes for me. But in the end, my performance got worse and worse, and I really felt that I had failed to live up to his expectations.

So after retiring, Tang Sen never contacted those old friends.

De Klerk knew this was the case and said with a smile, "He went to the Hawks this season and became their head coach. I met him at a game this year, and when we were chatting, he even asked about you. Why don't you contact him and see if you can go to the Hawks and find a training job."

A trainer who can gain a foothold in the NBA can be considered to have made it big.

"He's the head coach?" Tang Sen was incredulous.

It is not easy for an NCAA head coach to become a head coach in the NBA.

That's reasonable.

Although Kruger did not enter the NBA, he was selected by the Hawks in the 74 draft, so he had this favor.

"Okay, I see."

Tang Sen smiled noncommittally and waved goodbye.

Watching the car leave, Tang Sen couldn't help but feel moved.

You know what, this is indeed an opportunity.

As the head coach, hiring a trainer is nothing for Kruger.

But you can't just go there directly.

At least I should wait until I have completed Brown's training and made some name for myself before going.

In that case, at least I can get the job based on my own ability rather than relying on personal connections.

Back at the training hall, Williams was talking to Brown.

It can be seen that Brown is in a bad mood.

Connors came forward and complained with a bitter face, "Don, you shouldn't have let them play a second game. Look at Brown now. He's depressed from being beaten."

It would be great if we could just play the first game and win happily.

Tang Sen smiled and said, "It's pretty good now."

Without further explanation, Tang Sen came up to Brown.

"gentlemen."

Brown called out to someone, then remained silent, dejected.

Tang Sen was not in a hurry to encourage him right now. He arranged: "Brown, there will be no training today. I will give you a day off and rest."

In the past, Brown would jump for joy even if he just had a little more rest, let alone a holiday.

Now, I just said "oh" and had no interest at all.

Tang Sen saw it and sent him away without saying anything.

After Tabari took Brown away, Donson called Williams again and pulled him aside.

Before he could even open his mouth, Williams said, "Don, you're doing the right thing. Brown needs to fail once. Failing now is better than failing again if he actually enters the NBA."

Tang Sen was slightly stunned. It seemed that Williams had guessed his thoughts.

That’s right, his job is to deal with troubled teenagers, and he probably uses this method a lot in his daily work.

After thinking for a while, Tang Sen asked, "John, you should know that the most important thing is how to change his mindset. If we guide him well, he can become a better person. If we guide him poorly, it may even have the opposite effect."

Williams nodded. That made sense. "So do you have any suitable solutions?" Tang Sen asked.

Tang Sen had some ideas in mind, but he also wanted to refer to Williams's advice.

That's what he does.

Williams crossed his arms and thought for a moment. Perhaps he had an idea. He said, "Don, at this moment, what people need most is the companionship and support of their family. Do you think it's possible to give Brown another day off and take him back to Brunswick so his mother can talk to him?"

"It just so happened that Ryan had been wanting to arrange some interviews for him to raise his profile, so we just went along."

"Back to Brunswick?"

Tang Sen thought about it and nodded in agreement.

This is a good idea.

When you encounter setbacks, it is indeed a good idea to go back to the starting point, sort yourself out, and start again.

Like Tang Sen, who kept failing in his business ventures, sometimes felt too depressed. Even if his mother was not around, he would return to his hometown in Orlando for a few days to calm down.

"Then do as you say."

An extra day off is no big deal.

It just so happens that Tang Sen also needs to adjust Brown's training plan based on this confrontation with De Klerk.

Communicated with Connors again.

Naturally, he had no objection. He was worried that Brown's secret training would affect his popularity in the draft.

This is a spontaneous trip.

That afternoon, the group set off by car.

Brunswick is a port town in southeastern Georgia, adjacent to the tourist destination of St. Simons Island.

Starting from Gainesville, follow National Highway 301 into Georgia, and then head north for more than 300 kilometers to reach your destination.

If we go fast, we can arrive in the evening.

Brown, who was just dejected, is now alive again, chatting and laughing with his girlfriend.

Connors was on the phone constantly, arranging interview plans.

Tang Sen sat in the back row, resting with his eyes closed. In fact, he had entered the simulation space and was watching the previous duel with De Klerk.

First of all, the training in the past half month is definitely useful.

Brown has made great progress, especially in his core strength.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to make a stable hook shot despite De Klerk's interference.

This is inseparable from the bonus of the badge.

And Tangsen believes that Brown's progress will only be greater in the future.

Because training takes effect gradually, the first half of the month is like laying the groundwork and accumulating experience. It is only in the second half of the month that there is a qualitative change and results are achieved.

The experience for my title will soon be full, and then I will become a level 1 trainer, with a 10% bonus.

But this matchup also exposed a problem for Brown.

When his core strength improved, his explosive power did not keep up.

This is also the reason why he cannot easily push De Klerk away even though he has the advantage of weight and strength.

So for the next half month, Tang Sen decided to arrange some explosive training.

Apart from this, Tang Sen does not plan to make any further adjustments.

Or continue with the previous training plan.

Although Brown still exposed a lot of problems, such as technology, but it is better to practice the hook shot first.

Adjusting a training plan is a delicate matter.

Different training movements and training volumes will produce different effects and affect the final ten-day simulation results.

You have to work your way forward from the results, keep trying, and find the most suitable projects and training volumes.

So when the car arrived in Brunswick, Tang Sen had just found the general direction of adjustment.

"Sir, we are here."

Brown jumped out of the car excitedly and turned around and shouted at Tang Sen.

Tang Sen then looked up and looked out the window.

On the way here, I heard Moore introduce that this is a tourist town, or something with Spanish style, and the scenery should be nice, but at first glance, there are only dilapidated houses, rusty iron fences, and overgrown yards.

Before getting off the car, and not knowing if it was an illusion, Tang Sen heard a voice coming from a distance.

It sounded like gunshots.
