It takes about 30 minutes by subway from downtown Toronto. Walking along the residential street of Maple Leaf Avenue, a beautiful white building will appear. There are not only facilities for figure skating, but also many sports facilities such as cricket, curling, tennis, gym, swimming pool and squash. In addition, there are high-end restaurants, bars and dance halls. As the leading senior club in Toronto, the annual admission fee and annual fee add up to more than 5 million yen, so you can often see the happy posture of rich people after sports and wine tasting, which is also one of the elegant scenery in the museum. For first-class athletes, a high level of safety foundation can build a space for them to practice with peace of mind.
Brian Searle is the icon of this club. He himself is 1984, the silver medal winner of men's singles in the 88 Winter Olympics, the champion of the 87 World Championships and the national champion of Canada in 8 1-88. He is also the coach of two Olympic champions, Korean flower skating queen Jin Yaner, Japanese flower skating prince Yuzuru Hanyu and Spanish star Fenander.
Oser is 57 years old. Since 2007, he has been the head coach of figure skating in cricket club. There are as many as 20 coaches, plus about 60 professional players and other general enthusiasts, there are about 400 people.
Powerful 3A is Oser's "specialty", so it is called "Mr 3A". After retiring, he participated in the highest-level ice performance "Star on Ice" in North America for 20 consecutive years.
In 2006, Jin Yaner, who was almost desperate at that time, came to Toronto. No one expected that Jin Yaner would almost quit the ice rink. In the summer of 2005, Jin Yaner, who was troubled by roller skates and knee injuries, had to take his skills and tactics to the "ceiling" in South Korea. At this time, Oser is busy with special technical training courses in summer.
After three months' training in Canada, Jin Yaner found this cricket club excellent. Not only is the training environment good, but others have also made extraordinary moves. She felt the "true meaning" of the flower slip, which made her feel very relaxed and enjoyed. When all the problems came to Other, she directly proposed Other as her full-time coach.
Oser saw the potential of Jin Yaner, especially his "perseverance". Oser thinks this is a challenge that he can't refuse. "At first, I was not sure whether I could bring this rare and talented girl well." Oser said, but he took a fancy to this Korean girl who has all the conditions to become a world champion, but her ice performance lacked a necessary element: personality. Others have accepted this gift of plasticity.
As autumn approaches, Jin Yaner becomes an outgoing little girl. She recalled: "Moving to Canada for training was the right choice for me, and Brian Orsay was my best coach."
Tracy Wilson, who won the bronze medal in ice dancing at the Calgary Olympic Games, coached skating. During her service, she was a good friend of others. Her more lively personality than men enabled her to effectively push the players forward, and sometimes she played the role of a mother who discussed life with the players. Co-choreographer David Wilson is a genius who once choreographed for Itō Midori and others, and now he has become the top three choreographers in the world.
In addition, there are coaches, land trainers, masseurs and other professional staff with the technical referee qualification of the International Skating Federation, who are integrated into a team system that can fully support all training links of the cricket club. Cricket club is characterized by a unified system, and many coaches cooperate with each other. Not only do we make decisions according to Oser's judgment, but we respect the coach's guiding methods, and professionalism is born from this. To this end, in addition to holding a joint meeting once a month, we should also hold consultations every day to ensure that everyone's goals are the same. By giving each coach the corresponding responsibilities, each coach will try to study the guiding methods with their own characteristics and the latest trend of figure skating, so everyone is very enthusiastic.
Moreover, the team system not only has advantages on the technical level, but also is said to have greatly improved on the spiritual level. If coaches and players are always one-on-one, there will always be a stalemate. Because players are human beings, not only technically, but also in life, they will accumulate all kinds of dissatisfaction or anxiety. If you have difficulties with me as the head coach, you can also complain to Tracy like her mother. After the multi-person coaching system is implemented, players and coaches can avoid deadlock and form a good cycle. "
Yu Sheng, who was eyeing up in Japan, noticed the activities of the mentoring pair. On March 20 12, Yusheng won the bronze medal in the World Championships at the age of 17. In order to make a further leap two years before the Sochi Olympic Games, he also joined Auxerre.
The other is not to mechanically apply an ideal model to everyone, but to explore a path suitable for each player's personality. In fact, different coaches use different training methods to derive various schools of figure skating, which is a rare example. Oser said: "Top athletes have been learning to jump since childhood, and that sense of self-formation has penetrated into their bodies. I don't think it is necessary to get rid of that feeling. My feelings are the best, and I just need to help them make sure of it. I'm good at 3A, but I don't think it's the ideal mode at all. How to jump, the answer is on the player. "
The training of the cricket club was immediate. 20 12, 10 In June, at the "Finland Cup", Yusheng successfully achieved the first 4S of his career, plus 4T, and * * * completed two jumps around the circle. For Yu Sheng, this result is enough for him to firmly practice the belief of successful stronghold transfer. In addition, what really shows that the two have grown into the strongest combination is the launch of a brand-new short program with feather characteristics.
After the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, many athletes chose to rest or retire, but Yu Sheng and Auxerre did not have the option of "stopping" in their minds. Starting at eight o'clock in the morning, teach children to dance for one or two weeks at the skating rink, and guide top players to dance for three or four weeks. Yusheng is just one of the skaters and is not favored.
Oser once said that it is necessary to form new characteristics for Jiexian, who has become an Olympic champion, in the new four years. So far, the characteristic of knot string is the kind of theatrical performance full of enthusiasm and tears. But for the next Olympic Games he is about to usher in, I hope he can be competent for all kinds of performances, diversified and mature.
