"Give it your all?"

After the guidance from the Athletics Management Center arrived, He Yishen held a separate meeting with the coaches of the track and field sprint team. Of course, the central figure in this meeting was the coach of the 400-meter event who had just brought a surprise to the provincial track and field team - Su Bai.

In the small meeting room of the track and field team, each coach received a copy of the guidance letter. Su Bai, who had just returned to the track and field team, was no exception.

He glanced at the content of the guidance letter in his hand and roughly guessed the center's intention .

When everyone had finished reading the letters in their hands, He Yishen turned to look at Su Bai.

"Xiaobai, there are only 20 days left until July 16th. Can you give me an estimate of Qiu Wen's training results? Do you have the confidence to further improve them?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Bai lowered his head to look at the letter in his hand and simply said, "Let me think about it." The room fell into silence.

The other coaches in the room didn't rush Su Bai. Instead, they gave him time to contemplate on his own.

After about three to five minutes, Su Bai looked up again. "I can adjust his short-term training plan and prioritize addressing certain technical deficiencies that can significantly impact his performance. This should allow him to consistently achieve a time within 47 seconds. The specific results will depend on the conditions at that time and Qiu Wen's personal performance. However, achieving a larger improvement in his results is not feasible. Forcing an increase in training intensity will only have an impact on his long-term development in the event."

"Within 47 seconds?!"

Upon hearing this response, He Yishen's face was filled with delight. "Great, that's great!"

Originally, he thought that this requirement might be difficult to meet, but he didn't expect Su Bai to actually agree - as long as Qiu Wen had the chance to run under 47 seconds, he would truly have a chance to compete for a spot in the Asian Games.

Currently in China, besides Zhang Ziyi, there were about five or six other athletes who could run within 47 seconds. However, these athletes hadn't yet stabilized their performance within that range. It largely depended on their individual conditions.

If it was truly possible, as Su Bai said, to stabilize Qiu Wen's performance within 47 seconds through the upcoming training, then Qiu Wen's ranking in the championship race on July 16th would definitely have a competitive edge.

The coaches present hadn't expected that Su Bai would agree so readily. Moreover, judging from his expression, if necessary, there might be a chance to further improve Qiu Wen's performance?

Everyone felt that they had already thought of Su Bai as quite capable, but the extent of his capabilities seemed to be beyond what they had initially imagined.

"Other than this matter." He Yishen turned to Jiang Dongjian and pointed, "Xiaojiang has been learning from you for a while. He has compiled your recent guidance and training plans into teaching materials. The coaches from the sprint team have also been studying them individually. Originally, the plan was to wait until the winter training cycle to have you teach a course based on the case of Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei, and Hu Li. However, it seems we have to move up this exchange course now."

Although the guidance from the Athletics Management Center didn't explicitly state it, their intention was clear.

The provincial track and field team couldn't prevent Su Bai from joining the national team. If they wanted to solidify the achievements of the 400-meter event in the team, they would need to communicate and learn more from Su Bai. At least they had to stabilize the achievements he had brought before moving forward.
