Full Chapter Title: Misconceptions in Ideology & Hu Li and Zhang Wei's self-confidence & Weekend 

Zhang Wei and Hu Li exchanged a few words during warm-up, both guessing that Su Bai wanted to see what their highest speed in the 100 meters would be.

They had initially thought that Su Bai would also modify their speed control plan and have them undergo similar training to Qiu Wen. However, to their surprise, on the first afternoon that Su Bai took over their training, he had them warm up for a 100-meter sprint test.

Could it be that Su Bai intended to elevate their 100-meter absolute speed and improve their 400-meter performance from that perspective?

Jiang Dongjian observed Su Bai's arrangement and was somewhat unclear about his approach. After all, a significant portion of Qiu Wen's performance improvement was attributed to the speed control training designated by Su Bai. When members of the sprint coaching staff privately discussed, including Jiang Dongjian and other assistants, they felt that Su Bai might have likely adjusted Zhang Wei and Hu Li's speed rhythm according to the pattern of speed control training.

However, thinking about it, Jiang Dongjian remembered another question: "Su Bai, the coaching staff discussed the issue of your training with Qiu Wen before, all of which involved 400-meter speed control training. Why did you previously use the training model that was originally considered unsuitable for domestic athletes for Qiu Wen?"

This question had already been discussed by the sprint coaching staff, including Jiang Dongjian and other assistants, and most of them believed that perhaps Su Bai saw some training details from abroad that were more suitable for Qiu Wen. However, they had never directly discussed this with Su Bai before, so they didn't know his true intentions.

This issue involved complex perspectives. Su Bai furrowed his brows, thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "In fact, there's no clear distinction between domestic and foreign training methods. There are only training methods that are suitable for Qiu Wen and those that are not."

"Currently, domestic speed control training doesn't particularly emphasize precise time control. However, it's different for Qiu Wen because he lacks sensitivity to rhythm. He needs to improve in this aspect of training, letting him learn through training and physical practice. Therefore, in his speed control training, I impose stricter time limits."

"Domestic speed control training often involves runs at different speeds in the 200 meters and interval training for long distances. The reason I didn't use these training methods is mainly because they differ from the training direction I wanted for Qiu Wen."

At this point, Su Bai paused for a moment and then continued with the most important point: "In reality, I believe everyone might have restricted themselves in their training mindset. It's not the training methods that are domestic or foreign that matter, but rather whether the training methods are suitable for Qiu Wen."

Jiang Dongjian, deep in thought, looked at Su Bai and asked, "Then, what's your requirement when conducting speed control training for Qiu Wen?"

Su Bai looked very seriously at Jiang Dongjian and replied, "He needs to learn how to control his own speed rhythm. Only by doing so can he break through himself and run better results at a pace that suits him."

These two answers sounded quite similar, but after listening to them, Jiang Dongjian paused for a moment and finally began to comprehend. If translated differently, Su Bai's response could be summarized in a well-known Chinese saying—teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
