Close-up of Xu Haifeng's characters

New position-still in the familiar period

2004122 October, 165438+ Xu Haifeng received an order from the State General Administration of Sport to take up his post in Zijian Center. It has been more than two months now. From the "bullets" to the slightly remote Laoshan West Street, sitting in the spacious office of Zijian Center, the newcomer Xu Haifeng silently started his "second venture".

Without the great pressure of being the head coach of the national shooting team and the glory of writing for the best results of the China shooting team in the Olympic Games, Xu Haifeng said with a smile: "It's really much easier to do administrative work." Speaking of which, Xu Haifeng, deputy director of the center, has a heavy burden.

"I am responsible for the scientific research of all the projects in the Modern Pentathlon and Self-Sword Center." In the past two months, Xu Haifeng made a thorough investigation on the modern pentathlon he was in charge of. "For me, this is a completely strange environment. During this time, except for going to Guangzhou to attend the mobilization meeting of the modern pentathlon team in winter training and the 2004 summary meeting, I was basically turning over the rules and understanding the project. But it can be said that I am not familiar with 50% at most, and I am still in the exploratory stage. "

A year later, Xu Haifeng's Chinese modern pentathlon team won the world championship for the first time, breaking the previous European monopoly on gold medals in the Olympic Games and World Championships. At the Beijing Olympic Games, Qian Zhenhua won the fourth place, which became a great breakthrough in the Olympic history of Chinese modern pentathlon team. It's no surprise that ordinary players in China once won the World Cup.

New hobby-like photography and playing with collectibles

Xu Haifeng is particularly fond of photography. The shutter clicked shut. Sometimes, in order to track a shot, he has to change multiple positions and angles. That look, posture and movement smack of professional photography. There are many photos of the game and local conditions in his computer. Xu Haifeng said that these photos can be selected and collected for the team to study the technical movements of foreign players. And Xu Haifeng's coin collection has reached a considerable level. He collects coins from all over the world, mainly coins, supplemented by paper money. Because the denominations of paper money in many places are very expensive, he adopts the method of cheap collection and expensive collection with the lowest denomination. Xu Haifeng said, but I don't want to play. I have been to too many countries.

New feeling-a long way to go

For an old player and coach who has been engaged in shooting for nearly 20 years, it is not easy to realize the role change in just two months. During this time when he came to his new post, Xu Haifeng felt a lot.

"In general, from the front line of training to administrative posts, there must be some unaccustomed. After all, I am used to training and living with the players for so many years. " Xu Haifeng, cut to the chase. Because of his job responsibilities, today's Xu Haifeng is basically out of the tense and disorderly life-going to work on time every day, reviewing documents, attending various meetings ... Facing the new job, Xu Haifeng said frankly: "Although there are still some unaccustomed, people have to adapt to the environment. Let's start all over again! "

When Xu Haifeng's transfer notice was issued, some media reported that the main reason why Xu Haifeng left the shooting team was human error in Athens Olympic Games. In this regard, Xu Haifeng, who has always been silent, didn't have much reaction, but said indifferently: "It is my own will to leave the post of head coach of shooting team. In fact, I specifically said before the Athens Olympic Games that I will never be a head coach after this Olympic Games. "

Xu Haifeng, who jumped out of the "Three Realms", was more peaceful. "I feel much more relaxed at work now, and I don't have to worry about it as I did when I was the head coach of the shooting team. The physical condition is also much better than before. "

New goal-Beijing Olympic Games to achieve good results again

Although he is no longer responsible for specific training affairs, Xu Haifeng still has high hopes for the projects he is in charge of. "In the eyes of ordinary people, the modern pentathlon is definitely a strange event, and its performance in the Olympic Games is not very good. But for this reason, I think there is still more room for improvement in this project. "

The foundation of modern pentathlon in China is relatively weak. After the Olympic Games, Zijian Center analyzed and summarized the modern pentathlon and found the shortcomings and difficulties in the development of the project. As early as the end of last year, the Chinese modern pentathlon team began winter training. At the Beijing Olympic Games, Xu Haifeng's goal was clear. "We hope to win a medal at the Beijing Olympic Games. In addition, the scientific research work of the Purple Sword Center should also better serve the training competitions of various projects. "
