The women's volleyball training camp has been running for about 1 week. As the manager, Cai Bin also has a preliminary understanding of the abilities of the players. Due to the large number of trainees, it is impossible to take into account all aspects, so after a short observation, some players will return home and bid farewell to the training camp in advance.
Ding Xia, the main player of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, will be one of them. The reason why Ding Xia will go home early is not that her strength is not good, but that she has another task. According to the notice of "2022 Open Recruitment Registration entry interview list and interview instructions" issued by the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau, Ding Xia's name seems to be listed, which means that Ding Xia has entered the interview process.
In the "Interview Instructions", a clear arrangement was made for the interview time, that is, 9:30 a.m. on February 26, that is, 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. Ding Xia applied for the position of volleyball coach. So in this case, Ding Xia had to end the task of the women's volleyball training camp in advance and prepare for her interview, which is related to Ding Xia's future life path. For Ding Xia, who is accustomed to playing with a big grin, the interview may be a severe new test. Of course, after attending the interview, Ding Xia can still return to the training camp.
In fact, Ding Xia's ability to participate in the women's volleyball training camp has surprised some fans, the main reason is that Ding Xia also has a very serious injury, she can use this time to rest and adjust, such as Yao Di, Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning and others. Unexpectedly, Ding Xia, who was born in 90, actually appeared in the training camp, and among the 67 participating players, Ding Xia should be regarded as the oldest one.
Before the Liaoning Sports Bureau announced that Ding Xia and Yan Ni had obtained senior coaching qualifications, they did not think that Ding Xia not only obtained a coaching certificate but also entered the final interview session of the volleyball coaching position. Through this incident, we can find that Ding Xia's path after retirement has been determined, that is, to engage in the position of coach. In the volleyball world, many excellent second passers have become excellent coaches after retiring, and Wang Baoquan, He Qi, and Cai Bin are all famous coaches that we are familiar with.
After Lang Ping withdrew from the national team, everyone was looking forward to the appearance of another female coach, and judging from the path that Ding Xia has taken so far, she is likely to become the next Lang Ping. I hope that Ding Xia can seize the opportunity to successfully apply for the coaching position, and I also hope that she can become an excellent coach through training to help the Chinese women's volleyball team cultivate more excellent talents. Finally, I wish Ding Xia's interview can pass smoothly!
