Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 2 Weight Magic Master
"Fortunately, I now run a basketball training camp in Daytona Beach, mainly teaching younger children, and business is doing well."

In front of his acquaintances, Tang Sen was embarrassed to reveal his embarrassment and gave a half-truthful answer.

After saying this, I felt a faint sense of anticipation in my heart.

Donovan is a college coach. He suddenly called me. Could he be trying to offer me a trainer job?

As soon as he graduated from university in 97, Tang Sen started his business. Now it is 2001, the new century, and he is still on the road of entrepreneurship.

In fact, when he just retired, a local high school in Maitland, Orlando, his hometown, contacted him and wanted to hire him as the head coach of the team.

But at that time, Tang Sen was very ambitious. He thought that if he couldn't enter the NBA, he would become the best trainer in the NBA and he would also be able to enter the NBA, so he refused.

Who would have thought that the competition in the trainer industry is no less fierce than that in the NBA? After wasting a few years, you are getting further and further behind.

Occasionally I think about it and feel that it would be better to become a coach, which would be more stable.

Unfortunately, Donovan did not take the opportunity to offer a job to Tangsen.

He was still reminiscing about the past.

Tang Sen dealt with it, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart, thinking that perhaps he had described the situation too well.

You have opened a training camp and your business is doing well, which means that you have succeeded in starting a business. Even if others want to offer you a job, they would be too embarrassed to say it now.

Sure enough, people should be honest with each other.

"Tang, I still remember your nickname on the team. They called you the Weight Magic Master. I remember I didn't believe it at first, but after I asked you to lose weight, you were the only one who completed the task of losing 5 pounds in just one week. I was shocked."

5 pounds, which is about 2.2 kilograms, may not seem like a lot, but for professional players who become slow if they gain a little and feel weak if they lose a little, this is not a small number.

When proposing this goal, Donovan thought it would take the players one to two months to complete it, after all, there is still a process of physical adaptation.

As a result, Tang Sen completed it in just one week.

Moreover, after losing a lot of weight, his athletic ability did not weaken at all. Instead, he adapted in a very short time and achieved the speed-up goal of weight loss.

Donovan continued, "I remember you had your own training method back then, called 5D training. Now, you've added a few more Ds, haven't you?"

Mentioning this, Tang Sen also laughed and said, "Yes, it is already 7D now."

As a trainer, running a training camp, in order to recruit students, there must always be some gimmicks.

So 5D became 7D, the number increased, and it sounded more powerful.

"I knew it." Donovan laughed and said with emotion, "Don, to be honest, I really miss the season you were on the team. With you around, I can relax a lot."

At the University of Florida, Tangsen not only lacked physical talent, but also suffered injuries later.

Under such circumstances, Tang Sen has not been eliminated by the team and has been able to stay in the team for 4 years. A big part of the reason is that Tang Sen has made greater contributions to the team off the court.

He is a veteran who leads by example.

He is strict with himself, sticks to the so-called 5D training method, and works hard to motivate his teammates.

In the locker room, he maintains relationships with teammates.

On the training ground, Tang Sen assisted himself in completing daily training.

Even on the court, when he needs Tang Sen, he can stand up and complete the task of defending the opponent's vanguard.

After a brief slump in the 95-96 season, the Gators were able to quickly return to the championship, and this was definitely partly due to Tangsen's contribution.

Tang Sen also sighed.

At that time, I felt that life was bleak and the future was uncertain, but looking back now, those four years in college were probably the happiest time of my life.

At least I am still playing and have the opportunity to play in the game.

At this point, Donovan finally got to the point and said, "Don, I'd like to ask you for a favor. Help me train a player and have him gain 10 pounds in a month. His body also needs to adapt."

After saying that, he hurriedly added, "I know this is difficult and not an easy thing to do, but after thinking about it, among the people I know, only you, the master of weight magic, can do it."

10 pounds, that's almost 5 kilograms.

What Donovan meant by gaining weight is not as simple as eating like crazy, but maintaining the original exercise state while gaining weight.

This is difficult.

But after thinking for just ten seconds, Tang Sen decided to agree.

Difficulty is one thing, but more importantly, this is an opportunity to prove one's ability. Perhaps Donovan just wants to find a job for himself, and this mission is a test.

There may be favoritism in the competition, but it depends more on strength.

How can you get a job opportunity if you don’t prove yourself?

Even if Tang Sen doesn't necessarily need this job now, if you help an NCAA coach to build his reputation, you can also use his connections to get more opportunities.

In this circle, reputation is very important.

In the end, for the sake of reward, Tang Sen would agree.

Recruiting students is not an easy task.

So after agreeing, Tang Sen carefully asked how much the compensation would be.

There's no way, a penny can make a hero fall.

Donovan said, "I've discussed this with them. If you can really do it, they're willing to pay you $2."

When Tang Sen heard this number, his eyes almost lit up.

As a trainer, I haven't earned more than $2 in the past year and have to rely on odd jobs to cover the expenses of the training camp.

"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible."

Tang Sen was so excited that he even forgot to ask who the players to be trained were.

Later that day, Tangsen drove his broken pickup truck to Gainesville, where the University of Florida is located.

The distance is not far, only about a hundred kilometers.

After arriving, Tang Sen first found a motel to stay in, and after some consideration, he rented a car.

My fourth-hand pickup truck is not presentable at all.

It's a $20,000 business, you have to take it seriously.

How can you win the trust of customers when you drive a broken pickup truck, wear cheap clothes, and have the word loser written all over you?

If he had a capable trainer, he wouldn't be doing so badly.

The next morning, Tang Sen changed into a suit that he only wore on important occasions, and took good care of his appearance before driving off.

Revisiting the old place, I can’t help but feel a little emotional.

The meeting place was not at the University of Florida, but at a basketball stadium near the university.

Tang Sen knew this place.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the place, Tang Sen noticed that there were reporters at the entrance of the stadium.

What’s even more incredible is that it’s not a small local media, but FOX and ESPN, nationally renowned sports media.

Confused, Tang Sen called Donovan.

He made his way directly into the stadium and called his name.

Tang Sen glanced at the rearview mirror, confirmed that he was in perfect condition, and then got out of the car with his bag.

When passing by the reporter at the door, Tang Sen overheard a few words.

It seems like they are talking about the talent show market.

Yes, today is April 25th, and there are only two months left until this year's draft.

Is there any talented person with good market value at the University of Florida? I haven't heard of it.

While thinking randomly, Tang Sen successfully entered the stadium.

The stadium was booked out and there was only one player training. He was very tall and had broad shoulders. Standing there, he looked like a wall.

When Tang Sen entered the goal, he jumped up, swung his arms, and slammed the ball into the basket. The whole stadium echoed with the sound of the basket shaking.

Tang Sen saw his appearance clearly at a glance and was stunned.

This... isn't this Kwame Brown, the draft favorite who was called the next O'Neal by the media?
