"Are you sure?"

Robert's face looked a little worried, and he turned to look at Lu Yiqi. There was no cause and effect. It was just a question, but the meaning of the content was clear. Just look at what was happening in front of him.

No one takes yoga ball seriously.

Some players are "beating" each other with yoga balls, some are juggling, and some are staring at the yoga ball in suspicion or confusion and refuse to approach.

The entire training ground was completely a farce. Although the team was full of "tough guys" and there were many veterans over thirty years old, in the final analysis, men were just a group of children who had not grown up. The pranks in the locker room were constantly occurring for many years, and now they continued to the training ground.

In normal times, it’s okay to make fun of the locker room, but you still need to stay focused and devoted on the training ground. This is not a joke.

But today, the yoga ball is like a joke, completely disintegrating the training atmosphere, and the moment you are like a circus, one by one, one after another.

Robert doesn't like it.

Augustus couldn't help but complain, and argued with Robert, "If you are not sure, it won't start." But after the debate, Augustus couldn't help but look at Lu Yiqi, and his eyes were also flashing with anxiety and hesitation-

Lu Yiqi is young, so it is not easy to establish authority. It’s okay to just use words to play and make fun of each other. Today’s yoga balls are indeed a bit...again.

Even Augustus was already accustomed to Lu Yiqi's extraordinary style, and he was still a little overwhelmed at this time.

Lu Yiqi laughed in silence.

He also realized at this time that he was a little too hasty. After all, it was only 2008, and yoga balls were relatively novel for any sport, let alone rugby that symbolizes the image of a "tough guy". Even in 2020, promotion requires certain transitional means.

And now?

I'm afraid no player is willing to take this training seriously.

According to conventional means, Lu Yiqi should be promoted gradually, starting with Rogers, Nelson, Driver, Harris and others can also follow up, and after achieving results through the first stage of training, they will then use word-of-mouth transmission of the players to trigger discussions in the locker room and then complete the promotion.

But plans never keep up with changes:

The dilemma of five wins and six losses, the dilemma of losing to the New Orleans Saints without any suspense, really put the team in the second severe trough since the start of the 2008 season, which is also a further trouble after the first four consecutive losses on the offseason - and the previous trouble has not been completely solved.

However, Lu Yiqi is not panicked and timid. Difficulties can become a disaster, but they can also become an opportunity for rebirth. The key is how you view and deal with it. This is another test for the head coach.

Therefore, Lu Yiqi decided to comprehensively promote this training method. The essential purpose is to make the team atmosphere relaxed, and the players can temporarily forget the shadows shrouded on their heads, build confidence for the players, focus their attention, and find the motivation to devote themselves to the game again.

As for the winning and losing pressure from the outside world, tactical adjustments to the game, effective means to win, etc., just leave it to the coaching staff for the responsibility.

But the actual situation... slightly exceeded expectations. The circus-like chaos was indeed not within Lu Yiqi's expected range, but it was not unacceptable.

"Relax."

Lu Yiqi smiled at Augustus and Robert, "It's just a training session. No matter what, it's impossible to go anywhere."

The calm and composed look made Augustus speechless, and smiles appeared on the faces of other coaching staff members-

It is obviously a problem, but it seems that it is no longer a problem when it falls into Lu Yiqi's hands.

The most amazing thing is that Lu Yiqi, the youngest in the entire coaching team, is becoming the backbone of the team. Although this is the responsibility of the head coach, the actual feeling is still a bit special.

“…We have invited Archie to take on the demonstration.”

Isaac's voice came from the front, and in an instant, all eyes shot towards Lu Yiqi, killing Lu Yiqi off guard.

Ben McArdu couldn't help but say, "Is this an agreement?"

Lu Yiqi's slightly stunned expression is the best answer.

But Lu Yiqi reacted very quickly and didn't say much. He took the initiative to leave the line, walked towards Isaac, and then glared at Isaac with his eyes.

Isaac was full of calmness, but he cursed with his eyes: Things suddenly became big, and now they are obviously out of control, so of course you have to be responsible.

really!

Lu Yiqi had just left the list, and the noise of laughter and laughter at the scene was obviously calmed down—

In just half a year, Lu Yiqi's absolutely strong image on the training ground has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It has nothing to do with Lu Yiqi talking and laughing. However, once there is a sluggish or lazy training time, the consequences will be very serious. No one is willing to provoke Lu Yiqi's professional attitude.

The same is true now.

Lu Yiqi did not speak, but Isaac still explained, "This training plan was proposed by Archie. After we consulted the experts comprehensively, we determined the relevant training methods. Therefore, now Aki will demonstrate it, which is undoubtedly the best choice. Don't underestimate this training."

To be honest, this set of core strength training is indeed very, very challenging. Players can complete the training by themselves, but the first few attempts still require professional advice guidance.

The original plan was that Isaac was responsible for commenting and guidance, and Nelson came as a demonstration player; but now the situation on the court has changed, Isaac changed his mind on the spot and summoned Lu Yiqi-

For other coaches, personal demonstration may damage the individual's authoritative image, but for Lu Yiqi there is no such problem.

On the contrary, Lu Yiqi's iron-fisted image is largely due to his own super abilities.

Lu Yiqi, who appeared in the front of the training ground, did not notice any awkwardness. He took off his shoes and socks on his own, stood barefoot on the ground, then took a step forward, and stood in front of a yoga ball.

The players on the scene looked at each other. The players who were originally waiting and watching but did not come now couldn't help but approach to observe. Although they didn't say anything, they could still capture the curiosity and expectation that they were eager to try in their eyes.

Everyone began to exchange eyes: What should we do?

Nelson took the initiative to take off his shoes and socks as well as prepared. Rogers hesitated for a moment, turned his head left and right and found that Hawk and Harris had already started to do something, and he did not hesitate anymore, and then started to do something-
