The Joy of Being a Coach

The eight participants were on the track. And their coaches all stood within the rest area by the side.

"Long time no see, Li!" Dai Li turned around to find a white-haired older man standing behind him.

That man was called Duke, and he was 68 years old. He was a senior fitness coach living in Seattle.

"Hello, Coach Duke." Dai Li walked to him to say hello immediately.

After exchanging greetings, Duke asked, "I've heard that Shawn Ford is now being trained by you. That true?"

Dai Li nodded and said, "Yes, I've been training him for a few months."

"Is it hard to help him improve?" Duke smiled and then he added with a lower voice, "I was once his fitness coach. There is no problem with his strength. His problem is the defect of his body."

By "defect of his body," Duke was referring to Ford's leg length discrepancy.

Dai Li nodded again and said, "I found that, too. So, I set some targeted training for him. And that worked."
