<h4>Chapter 301 Using a Coach as an Assistant 7</h4>


    Emily soon came to university with contracts prepared for Frank Davis, Coach Davis was also very decisive and as he knew he would work with Jake for many years under the conditions Jake imposed, so he sold his house in Austin, Texas.


    Soon he found a hotel to host his family, he didn’t know where Jake would live in a few years so it was better to wait until he bought another house for his family, with his sry they could easily live in a hotel and wait for Jake to leave college to see where they would buy a house.


    His wife Zoe had quit her job to look after their daughter, and since they had nothing to hold them somewhere, it was better than the family always lived in afortable hotel than in Austin, Texas, just the two of them living alone.


    That way things were easier for Coach Frank Davis who soon returned with his family to Jake University, then he met Emily and signed the contracts, so Emily returned to Miami and Coach Davis was hired.


    Jake was kind enough to pay his first upfront sry as a kind of bonus and soon they started preparing for Jake’s training, first Coach Davis followed Jake’s daily training to learn how he prepared for marathons.


    After all, Jake was a multiple marathon winner and had the world record, it was normal to hope that his training could help Coach Davis improve his training routine to pass to other athletes in the future.


    So in the morning, Jake went to do his daily training as usual apanied by Zack, Coach Davis went with them and took a timer and notebook to take notes, after doing the warm-up exercises Jake started running the 50 km.


    After training was over Coach Davis was still calm and writing down some things in his notebook, after they got back to university and walked away from Zack they started talking.


    "What did you think of my training?"


    "Do you do this training every day?"


    "No, I did before, but now at least twice a week I don’t do this training because I have to conserve my stamina on days when I have games with the basketball team."


    "If you were doing this training every day before and have never had any injuries while still ying basketball, I think this training may be very good for you."


    Jake was surprised by this, in fact, he found his training routine very intense himself, this training only served him because Jake had the system and would not easily get hurt and his body recovered quickly.


    He knew it was possible for elite athletes just like him to run 50km every day, but not at the running speed he did that was below the world record, so he didn’t expect Coach Davis to say that this could be a good training method.


    "I understand that you expected me to say something else, and I understand why you demanded that I sign a confidentiality agreement, and I was honestly surprised when I saw that you run below your own world record for 50 km."


    "But it’s not that weird as training, it’s just your running speed, and I suppose at the time of thepetitions you don’t want to risk it and so slowed your running pace."


    "But I think you are very careful, if you run every day at this pace you can surely run just over 42km at this pace and finish the marathon smoothly."


    "If you’ve never had any injuries even training so intensely this shows that your body is incredibly tough and your stamina is amazing too."


    "So before deciding how to improve your training routine I want to ask you to do several exams at the clinic and then let us rent an elite gym and test your physical limits."


    Just as Jake hoped he would have to take some exams before he actually started training with Coach Davis, but just because he hadn’t neglected the training method he had been using since a few years ago, Jake had already liked Coach Davis more.


    Knowing this Jake took some exams in theing days before the next team’s Tar Heels game, the exams were tedious, but Jake still did all the tests at the academy were moreplicated because Jake wanted a secret about the test results.


    So it took longer to achieve, but since Jake was famous for being a great marathon runner and having the world record in the marathon he got a guarantee of secrecy about his tests, few people were present at the test sites.


    Several tests were done on the most modern machines of the time and Jake tested for various sports, just as expected Jake’s results on the performance tests were shocking.


    In many sports, Jake almost achieved the same results as the Olympic champions other than the marathon, and in some reflex tests, Jake was also impressive.


    In endurance tests then everyone was shocked to find out the limits of Jake’s stamina, several hours on a treadmill race were needed to reach the limit, and this with a considered fast test speed.


    In part their stamina and lung capacity were better than Olympic swimmers, the people who were collecting the results regretted signing a confidentiality agreement, otherwise, they could publish some of these results to shock the sporting world.


    After that no one doubted why Jake couldpete in marathons and still y high-level basketball, after that they returned to college, Coach Davis needed to wait for the results of Jake’s clinical exams before preparing his training.


    So while waiting for Jake to refocus on basketball, the next day came the next game for the Tar Heels team, it would be another home game and the yers were more rested after four days of rest.


    That was the number 20 game of the season and the Tar Heels team had an 8 straight winning streak and only lost 2 games all season, it was for sure one of the best seasons in the team’s history.


    Thest match between the two teams this year the team Tar Heels came out with the victory after a difficult game with a small points advantage, so all yers were concentrated for this game that should be difficult.


    Jake started ying again and had another good performance to help his teammates, in the first half he yed for 16 minutes and made 12 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals, again he saw that his teammates were having a good game and took the opportunity to improve his assist statistic.


    So with Jake being well-marked and not trying to make too many ys his teammates had more opportunities, Jake didn’t know that because he was thinking of making more assists, but he also won the favor of his teammates and Coach Smith.


    Everyone liked a star yer, but for the team, it was much better to see a talented yer who did a lot of assists like Ed Cota than a yer who just scored dozens of points.


    In the second half the team continued to dominate this game, Jake can y for 17 minutes and made 13 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals, so the team can easily win this game.


    Team Tar Heels won by scoring 97 points against 64 points for Florida State Seminoles, Jake made another triple-double with 25 points, 21 assists, 11 rebounds, and 6 steals, it was another good team game and 9 consecutive wins.


    The yers were also excited about this sequence and were waiting for the next game, the team mood was very good with all the animated and calm yers, it was good to have a winning streak to calm the yer’s mind.


    For the next few days Jake continued training with the basketball team, he talked even more with Charlie, Jamison, and Carter, yet normally the 4 didn’t usually get together in training.


    Charlie trained for a different position and had his own training partners, and they both talked more about business and fraternity, with Jamison and Carter he talked more about sports and general affairs.


    But in training he spent more time with Jamison and Carter as the three often practiced ys together, they could be considered great friends after spending several months together.


    The three of them had goals of joining the NBA and so it was normal for them to enjoy talking about the future, Jake felt strange because he saw the two of them y in the NBA for a long time on television.


    As they talked about the future Jake couldn’t stop thinking that he knew what their future could be, luckily both of them would have good careers, Jamison yed as well as he could for several years and Carter even with some injuries yed for over 20 years.


    The one with the most uncertain future among the 3 was himself, Jake was very confident that his future would be bright and that he could achieve more important things and fulfill all his dreams, he was satisfied with the things he had now and just wanted aplish a few more things.


    Of course, that wasn’t why he would stop after a few years, he would always want to achieve more and more, but the pressure of being sessful would no longer exist in his heart.
