Grand Slam

Ta-da.

At 6 in the morning, the room was filled with alarm sounds. Quartz had a habit of waking up before the alarm sounded, so he woke up one roommate at a time. It was a little late to wake up because everyone was young. I just came down to the restaurant by myself as if I couldn't help it.

“Young stone!”

Jinhee waves her hands from a distance.

Fortunately, Jinhee came to the Academy and saw it brighten slightly.

Next to Jinhee, there were three girls who were similar or larger than Jinhee.

‘The Westerners are... all about the same age as Jinhee...' ’

If you say bad things, you look old, and if you say good things, you look like a girl.) came to Ur 'Ur Stone.

“What, what? Is he Jinhee's boyfriend?”

The children who gathered and chatted soundly, but the stone that was a little shy went to put food in the tablecloth. The girls chased after me, saying they were cute. So breakfast was a little noisy.

After breakfast, she suggested that Jinhee swim, and the two of them came to the pool.

“Jerky! You could be a swimmer. ”

The coach flattered her with white teeth.

“No problem……. ”

“No, really. Amazing.”

It's also natural for the coach to be surprised.

Quartz has been swimming for four years without forgetting a single day. Not only are you proficient in various laws, but you can go fast without even one breath. Of course, Jinhee could not swim. Jinhee did it alone while going to school. Jinhee was teaching with a dedicated female coach.

‘Jinhee is so talented... She'll learn soon enough. ’

The marble relaxes with that relief and relaxes with a swim.

* * *

After swimming, I went to the hard coat.

While everyone was training in the coat they wanted to do, there were about five people left on the hard coat, including marble and Jinhee.

There, the quartz asked the coach:

“Check all the skills used in tennis and create a report with levels of 10 to understand what's missing. ”

The coach gladly accepted their demands as they were a necessary part of managing the players.

After about two hours of training, everyone should complete the questionnaire in their room. It doesn't matter when, but the more I liked it because it was a matter of understanding myself.

Here's the question:

- Did you sleep well today?

- How are you feeling today?

- How's your mental state today?

- How motivated are you today?

It was submitted daily for four weeks to compare the answer of the day with the appearance in the actual exercise. Take the completed questionnaire and go to a room full of computers. Submissions are made there.

“Oh, marble! This is what you asked your coach for this morning. ”

An employee approached Stone and Jinhee, who took the questionnaire and checked their appearance on CCTV, and handed over the paper. Of course, Jinhee was also with him.

Technical Assessment

Name: Lee Young-seok

Age: 11 years

Height: 165cm

Weight: 50kg

* Level 10 represents the minimum level to be turned pro.

-Sub: 3/10

Overall, it's okay.

The flat serve was great, but the spin type sub felt a little out of control. I was originally right-handed, so I think it would be better to improve the skill level of my left hand a little more.

-Fohand Stroke: 4/10

Overall, it's okay.

Requires skill to handle balls of various grades with various grips. Similarly, the skill level of the left hand is considered immature.

-Backhand stroke: 8/10

It's the best quality.

I rated it 8 on my physical limit, but I think it's worth fighting for in the world as soon as I grow up.

-Drop & Robe: 2/10

We need to try more.

- Bali: 5/10

Great eyes, feet, and reflexes.

Close to good level, as was the backhand.

- Speed: 8/10

-Step: 9/10

It's the best foot.

Fast feet, but most efficient steps.

I think it would be better if I had a little more flexibility

* Seems to be a top priority for growth with consistent dietary care.

This was written by one of the coaches. A report like this was handed to the quartz near ten chapters.

Backhands and steps were rated as well as expected, but the rest were slightly below the expectations of quartz.

The employee is furious and says to the frowning marble.

“Young stone! This is a very good assessment. One more than five is the best at this age! The average person your age is one to three. ”

“Oh, really? ”

When you get to quartz, the staff will explain it hard.

“Literally, the report had a minimum requirement of 'to turn pro’ of 10. It's terrible to have eight or nine ratings when you're usually 18, and three or more at the age of marble! ”

The quartz nods. Jinhee was watching a report of marble next to her.

Quartz shrouded Jinhee's shoulders and asked.

“How did you get out of Jinhee? ”

Jinhee sighs and answers the question.

“Well, I didn't expect to win... but it's not good. ”

Jinhee's report was mostly filled with 2 and 3.

There was only one, Bali level 9.

‘Since I was a child, touch sensation was an art……. ’

“This is taller than me! ”

Jinhee grumbles, grumbling at the marvel of marble.

“Then what are you doing? I'm older, but my average is lower than yours. ”

Seeing Jinhee who was moody, Jinhee said brightly, not knowing what to do with her.

“Actually, I feel good to be judged this much. You're good. I've known you for a long time. What...? Let's watch the video and think about what we're going to train for. ”

“Well, yeah. ”

The marble replied with tremendous reluctance.

So they had the opportunity to attend the training on their own every day, and to look at themselves calmly.

The other day, the quartz went to receive the inspection as requested by the staff.

All tests were as thorough and varied as dissecting. I even went outside and examined the growth plate.

‘I've heard that many times, but it's still possible. ’

It was the United States. It cost a lot of money, but it was possible. Of course, the Academy has agreed to cover all inspection costs.

First, the results of growth potential were concluded to be 183-188 cm. It was concluded by examining the height of the parents, the record of the steady growth of quartz over the last four years, and the knee and spine.

‘Sounds good.’

Small is not a big disadvantage, but tennis is also a good sport when it is tall.

You can't ignore the total amount of power emanating from height. However, the limit should be less than 2 meters. Greater than that, it is not considered suitable for tennis.

“Your eyesight is amazing, too. ”

The coach who was watching the prosecution said:

Fusion vision other than simple vision was also measured.

There are different types of vision required for tennis. fuselage vision to see things moving, telemetry to see things distant, instantaneous vision to see things.

In the case of quartz, all of this was close to the highest level. It's natural for the coaches to be frightened.

However, quartz, a surprising party, was surprised for another reason.

‘I can measure all this……. ’

There is a DVA fuselage vision that recognizes moving side by side and up and down by the fuselage vision and a KVA fuselage vision that recognizes moving back and forth. You can examine them all individually.

To the surprised rock, the coach smiled and said.

“In other words, it is common sense to train your eyes in sports science to improve the function of your eyes. There are various types of vision, and training these to gain a lot of visual information increases the field of view during play and improves the accuracy of responses and shots. Of course it does.”

The marble, who listened to the coach quietly, nodded.

This is relatively common for the top athletes.

When I interview the top batsman,

“The ball looked watermelon. ”

I can hear the same thing bothering me.

That's it. Think about soccer players, especially midfielders, reaching the best level in the world. They say they feel 'the sensation of looking down at the stadium above the stadium’. The eyes are hanging over my head, and I can swear I'm talking nonsense physically.

But most of what they say is true. It's natural for them to feel that way.

In other words, it surprised marble that they were measuring the senses, the senses that were truly maximized in abstraction, which were neither shared nor measurable. Of course, it is not a measure of those senses in a heartbeat. It is to infer that ‘probably a player with such a sense’, taking into account the ability of the parts to be quantifiable. Even so, it is an amazing experience for marble.

‘It's scary... It's amazing. ’

Coach's eyes are as big as drops, dragging marble around and inspecting them.

And he admires the elongation. Rather, marble coaches were surprised to hear the results.

‘What's so great about this... Everyone goes to this stage. ’

Of course, now that eleven-year-old quartz grip strength is 200 kg, it is not an absurd result. It's just a little higher than that age. Compared to all athletes in other disciplines, it is not great.

“Is this so surprising? ”

The quartz asks the coaches a bunch of questions.

The cynicism froze everyone around you.
