Recently, the Japanese Volleyball Association confirmed that the head coach of the Japanese women's volleyball team, Nakata Kumi, will leave on August 31, so that Since taking office in April 2017, Nakata Kumi, who has coached the Japanese women's volleyball team for four years, will leave.
In the four years since coaching the Japanese women's volleyball team, Nakata Kumi can be said to have "dismal results":
1) 2017 Women's Volleyball Asian Championship Champion.
2) 2018 Asian Games fourth.
3) 2018 Women's Volleyball World Championship sixth.
4) Fifth in the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup.
5) 1 win and 4 losses at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics did not qualify.
You look at her coaching achievements: except for the fact that at the beginning the other teams did not pay attention to her and let her win an Asian Championship title, the results of other competitions were average, not much better than her predecessor.
In particular: the Olympic Games on her doorstep, played like this, obviously touched the bottom line of the Japanese Volleyball Association, so it is not surprising that she was fired.
Otherwise, if it is like the Head Coach of the South Korean Women's Volleyball Team Ravarini: the usual competition is a mess, but the Olympic Games can be highlighted, then the Japanese Volleyball Association will also provide Nakata Kumi as a treasure.
After all, everyone pays more attention to the Olympic Games ~ but now that it is played like this, there is no way.
As for The four-year coaching career of Nakata's national team, why have the results been unsatisfactory?
Personally, I think that her "three deficiencies" in coaching may be the main reason (purely personal opinion):
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" >, playing is slow. </h1>
As an Asian team, the Japanese women's volleyball team has always given the impression of a team that is "fast and changeable, flexible in playing style" ~ fast, tactical and lively.
For a short team, this style of play is perfect for them and their only option.
That is to say: in the world of long people, you do not have a height advantage, if you want to stand, you can only pay more than others ~ to "run more, become more, will get more" than others.
Otherwise, you are one head shorter than others, but you still play like others "standing, simple and rude", and you are not stopped by others?
Therefore, for the Japanese women's volleyball team, without the "rapid and changeable" style of play, there is only one dead end.
That is, others can play "simpler, slower", and you have to play "more complex, faster" to have a way out.
After Kumi Nakata took charge, he abandoned the housekeeping skill of "rapid change" and learned to play slower and simpler like European teams.
That is, simply the two sides are pulled apart, and the secondary attack has basically become a decoration, so that without the participation of the secondary attack, the team will play slower and slower, becoming a "high-flying play".
In this way, if the response is not strong enough, then all the offensive pressure is pressed on the main attack and become a "little attack".
And their fourth position of the main attack, the highest is only 1.8 meters, like Ishikawa Masayuki only 1.73 meters ~ you see: both ridiculously short, but also too slow, so "a little attack" can play what good results?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > second, employing people to death. </h1>
Another problem with Nakata's coaching is that the use of people is a bit too dead, and the players are either not used or used to use them, which feels a bit "emotional".
This is mainly manifested in: no matter what the game, she is basically "a set of lineups" to the end, never changing people and rotating.
Like: whether it's "unimportant World League" or "very important World Cup and Olympic Games", she is a lineup to play to the end.
That is to say: as long as she looks at the players who are pleasing to the eye, she will always use you, and those who do not look good will not have any chance to play, and sit on the bench off the field.
Such a "dead set of lineups" play, the impact on the team is still quite large:
1) First of all, it is easy to cause players to be physically overdrawn, state overdraft, resulting in more and more lack of staying power, thus affecting the performance of the game.
Just like this time, they played the "World League" in front of them as the "Olympic Games", a set of lineups to the end, exhausting the main players, and when it was the turn of the Olympic Games in the back and the time to do the right thing, they couldn't play.
2) Secondly, the death of a set of lineups will also make the substitute players very uncomfortable and affect the atmosphere of the team.
For Japanese women's volleyball players, the difference between the main force and the substitute is not big, basically everyone can play.
In this case, you have been using a set of lineups and not giving others a chance, can others have no opinions? Who wants to "sit on the cold bench" off the field all the time? Who wants to just clap their hands off the field?
In this way, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among players, which will affect unity and weaken combat effectiveness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" > third, the command is cold. </h1>
That is, in terms of on-the-spot command, Nakata Kumi has been taciturn and a little "cold".
As you can often see, when the Japanese women's volleyball team is suspended, there is a strange phenomenon that the head coach does not speak, but lets the assistant coach speak.
This is incomprehensible: the head coach, as the manager and commander of the team, a very important value is "on-the-spot response".
That is, the head coach should be able to "read the game, understand the problem, respond quickly" in time, and then quickly guide the players through the suspension and reverse the passive situation.
Otherwise, what else would the head coach do? Why pause?
However, when the Japanese women's volleyball team was suspended, head coach Nakata Jigami did not speak, and stood by the side without a word to watch the hilarity.
To tell the truth: this way of conducting is also very funny, I don't know how much effect it can achieve, and it is also that your head coach does not command, it will also affect your position in the hearts of the players, and over time, it may not take you seriously.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > so to say:</h1>
When a women's volleyball head coach is not so simple ~ the right one is the best, is Nakata Kumi's coaching style suitable for the Japanese women's volleyball team? Just look at the results.
