Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 536

Chapter 536: 535 Catching up quickly Chapter 536: 535 Catching up quickly Vilani had heard those rumors as well, not just Nash singing high praises about Li Wei, but everyone inside the Kansas City Chiefs referred to Li Wei as the “training maniac” ——

So, if it were merely about persistence, Li Wei would not have been called a maniac.

Clearly, Li Wei had his own tenacity.

After five consecutive days of training, a rest day finally arrived, a rare break, because it was the offseason and also because high-intensity training needed to be balanced with rest to enhance efficiency.

On his day off, Li Wei did not hit the pause button ——

Kelsey and others took a private yacht out to sea, either partying or dating or combining both, but Jason and Hopkins were exceptions, lying dead on beach chairs, not wanting to move a finger, rumored to have all their meals in bed as well.

Anyway, everyone enjoyed the rare holiday in their way.

However, Li Wei did not go to the party nor continue to “play dead”.

Because Li Wei knew that “rest day” was a deceptive concept, sports require both persistence and routine, and once you interrupt the flow and hit the pause, rhythm gets disrupted, laziness quickly takes over the brain, and even just resting for one day, the difficulty of getting back into training could double, triple, or even become ten times harder, leading most people to choose giving up; even if they don’t give up and continue to persevere, it’s definitely torture.

...

More terrible than hell.

So even on a rest day, Li Wei could not fully relax.

So, Li Wei chose ——

Yoga.

Relaxation was indeed necessary, not just for the muscles but also for the nerves, to break free from the high-intensity training and fully relax; meanwhile maintaining a sense of regular movement to avoid complete collapse.

In the morning, he started with a massage, relaxing his muscles under professional hands.

Then, yoga.@@@@

In the afternoon, a swimming party, followed by yoga to end the day.

The entire day’s schedule was still packed, even though Li Wei emphasized that everything was about relaxation, with no need for high intensity; but relaxing exercises were still exercises, and Vilani was full of astonishment ——

As if unearthing treasures.

Now Vilani finally understood why Nash was so full of praise for Li Wei.

If Li Wei was a treasure, then Mahomes was a surprise.

On the rest day, Mahomes did not go to the party either.

After five days of training, Mahomes once again felt a sense of crisis and motivation.

He was still a backup, and if he wanted to become a starter, if he wanted to join Li Wei on the field, if he wanted to step onto the field and contend with the League’s top players, he indeed had much room for improvement, and the offseason was an opportunity.

Moreover, at Watt Training Camp, Li Wei and Mahomes were the only rookies; if they didn’t work hard, then who else would?

So.

Mahomes chose to stay and keep pace with Li Wei.

Vilani was particularly surprised, as if discovering a new continent ——

Of course, Mahomes’ training volume and intensity were not as extreme as Li Wei’s, as their positions were different; but even so, it was still surprising, considering that Mahomes was a quarterback.

Li Wei and Watt, each holding dumbbells, were doing walking lunges with arrow steps.

Their movements were not only correct but also steady in rhythm.

Both were already sweating profusely, and it was clear they had started training a while ago.

Moreover, they hadn’t even noticed Hopkins’s arrival, their attention was one hundred percent on the training movements.

Hopkins stood there, dumbfounded.

He had just been imagining how he would greet Li Wei’s arrival, but this scene before him—

Something seemed off.

Hopkins’s brain froze, completely unable to process:

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

“Hey, DeAndre, good morning.

You’re a bit earlier than last week,” said Watt, wiping off his sweat and smiling at Hopkins.

Hopkins was speechless, glancing back and forth between Watt and Li Wei.

Watt noticed.

“Ah, rookie?”

“He’s been here for a while.

To be precise, he was ten minutes earlier than me.

By the time I got here, he had already started warming up.

If this keeps up, next time it’ll be his turn to wake us all up for training,” said Watt.

“Haha.”

Hopkins: ...That’s not funny, okay?

And there was more to come.

Vilani and other personal trainers also arrived one after another.

They needed to come a bit earlier than the players to set up, only to witness this scene.

Vilani joked, “JJ, isn’t it five o’clock?

Are you planning to start an extra training camp before the actual camp?

That’s not okay, we need a raise.”

The other trainers joined in the uproar.

Watt shook his head, “I didn’t call the rookie; the rookie arrived earlier than me.”

The smile just stiffened at the corner of his mouth, with only the sound of the wind blowing continuously.
