On July 18, the 2022 World Women's Volleyball League, hosted by the Fivana Federation, came to an end in Ankara, Turkey, and the Italian women's volleyball team defeated the Brazilian women's volleyball team 3-0 to win the championship. Previously, in the quarterfinals of the finals, the Chinese team lost 1:3 to Italy, missing the semi-finals, ending all the matches in the World League this season.
The Chinese women's volleyball team sent a total of 16 players to the World League, including Young Talents such as Gong Xiangyu and Miao Yiwen. Among them, Miao Yiwen graduated from Jiaxiangwai Chinese High School in Jinjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, where in addition to completing her studies with high quality, she also trained in the school volleyball team for 6 years from junior high school to high school.

After entering the gate of Jiaxiang Outer Chinese School, in the cultural column on the left, you can see the display page of Chinese women's volleyball player Miao Yiwen, with the title "Volleyball Teenager Jiajin Model". This volleyball initiation began in a compulsory school, and at the high school level, he was selected to take a career path and became a role model for other volleyball teenagers in the school. The picture shows the school culture column display board.
Miao Yiwen's school volleyball team was founded in 2002, while recruiting male and female volleyball students, in 2010 became the Chengdu Volleyball Training Base School, in 2017 was awarded the "Jinjiang District Quality Education Characteristic Base", in 2021 the team was awarded the title of "Chengdu School High-level Sports Project Reserve Team".

Above the gate of the volleyball hall, there are four big characters written "Heavenly Reward for Diligence". Every day when it comes to "volleyball time", the male and female athletes in the school team have successively crossed this door, briefly withdrawn from their busy studies, and conducted centralized volleyball training. Every Monday to Friday, the afternoon volleyball elective time (16:00-18:30), the free time of one and a half hours after school every afternoon, and the 2.5 hours of afternoon on weekends and holidays are the training time of the volleyball team. The picture shows the volleyball players entering the volleyball hall.
The volleyball hall was renovated around 2004, when the head coach of the volleyball team, Mao Yubing, applied to the school for approval for a long time. For some time before the new building was built, the volleyball team still insisted on training on the outdoor basketball court. Although sweating like rain, watching the new building gradually rise up, everyone's heart is more of an expectation. The picture shows volleyball players training in the volleyball hall.
Before volleyball lessons, it is generally necessary to carry out some physical training, which is still a bit difficult for most players who have just returned to the field from their studies. Fortunately, under the encouragement and correction of the coach, everyone insisted on completing all the actions. The picture shows Jiaxiang women's volleyball coach Zuo Man helping the players adjust their movements.
In addition to physical training, basic volleyball mat balls, serves, slam balls and other actions are also mandatory items for every team member. Through repeated training, volleyball players also strengthen their understanding of the movements. The picture shows the women's volleyball coach Zuo Man handing the ball to the players (left); Volleyball players train at sunset (right).
Especially in the summer, although there is air conditioning in the volleyball hall, after a series of physical training and volleyball basic movement training, the players are sweating. The picture shows the Jiaxiang volleyball team members in training.
On the wall of the volleyball hall, there is still the "Dajiaxiang Women's Volleyball Rules" formulated by The last women's volleyball captain Miao Yiwen, and the first one is written "Team Soul: Unity". Other regulations read: mutual trust, friendliness, respect for others, concentration, self-improvement, and reasonable time arrangement. The picture shows the "Dajiaxiang Women's Volleyball Rules" posted on the wall.
On the wall next to the treadmill in the corner of the volleyball hall, posters of different colors of "cheering" were posted on the team members with colored pens to encourage every team member who came to run and exercise. Pictured is a poster with a colorful "Come On" on the wall (left); Volleyball team members train on a treadmill (right).
Ye Qinyuan, who is about to enter the third year of junior high school, is a member of jiaxiang's volleyball team, and she is about to turn 14, and she already has a height of 1 meter 87. In the fifth grade of elementary school, the school's Mao Fisherman coach and Zuo Man coach found her height advantage when selecting materials. After participating in several varsity trainings, Ye Qinyuan felt very fun and happy, so she stayed in the school volleyball team. The picture shows Ye Qinyuan in training.
On the left side of the entrance hall gate, there are medals and trophies for various competitions won by volleyball teams. Ye Qinyuan and her teammates often stopped to watch after passing by, paying special attention to the recent "New" trophy. The picture shows Ye Qinyuan and her teammates watching the trophy together.
The trophies are all spelled out through a single game. The school volleyball team will organize the players to participate in the competition as much as possible, because only in the official competition can everyone feel the passion and fun of sports competition. On May 28-29 this year, at the Chengdu Youth (Student) Games Volleyball Competition and the "Gongga Cup" Campus Volleyball League Municipal Finals, some members of the Jiaxiang volleyball team participated in the competition on behalf of Jinjiang District. The picture shows the photo before the game.
Ye Qinyuan, as a member of the women's volleyball team, also participated in this competition. Previously, Ye Qinyuan was selected for the 2021 National Women's Volleyball Team "Star of Hope" training camp. The full-time dedication to volleyball has made her more confident and tenacious, and has also made her take every success and failure more seriously. The picture shows Ye Qinyuan training before the game.
Every time they go out to a game or in the middle of training, the team members will find a corner, take out the coursework they carry with them, and race against time to write their homework. Coach Mao Yubing said that on the issue of how to balance, we first teach them to plan their learning reasonably, train and set goals, only when they are clear about what they want to do, what they want to do well, and have enough initiative, can they better find a balance between learning and training. The picture shows Ye Qinyuan and other volleyball players writing homework in between games.
In the Chengdu Youth (Student) Games Volleyball Competition and the "Gongga Cup" Campus Volleyball League Municipal Finals, the Jinjiang District representative team composed of Jiaxiang men's volleyball team as the main player won the second place in the men's group, and Ye Qinyuan's women's volleyball team achieved the fifth result. Whether they win or lose, competitive sports have brought them good growth.

For volleyball, Ye Qinyuan has her own opinion after many years of training: volleyball is a collective ball sport, but volleyball needs a sense of collective cooperation more than other collective ball sports. For example, basketball, a single person can carry the ball to the basket, from steals to scoring; Football can also be a person with the ball and shoot a goal. However, the rule of volleyball is that each person can only touch the ball once, and must cooperate with teammates to complete the first pass, second pass, and main attack to complete an effective attack and score. Therefore, volleyball is more of a test of team consciousness and collective intelligence. The picture shows Ye Qinyuan and her teammates in the game.
Referring to the teammates around her, Ye Qinyuan said that the teammates are students who trust and cherish each other, play and make trouble, and grow up happily together, hoping that everyone can successfully pass the middle school entrance examination and continue to be classmates and teammates. The picture shows the group photo of the jiaxiang volleyball men's team and the women's team.
When it comes to high school, the students of the volleyball team have to choose whether to take the path of sports students and pass the high-level athletes. Among the past graduates of the school, many students have gone to Tsinghua University, Peking University and other well-known universities in China through volleyball skills. The picture shows the teachers and students of the Jiaxiang volleyball team taking a group photo.
In view of the future development, Ye Qinyuan said that she currently has two dreams. "The first was to represent my hometown of Chengdu, Sichuan and my motherland in volleyball competitions at the age of eighteen, and achieve excellent results; My second dream was to become a costume designer who could play volleyball in my twenties, because I was tall and it was difficult to buy the right clothes, but fortunately our school uniforms were oversized.

In 2020, the State General Administration of Sport and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the Opinions on Deepening the Integration of Sports and Education and Promoting the Healthy Development of Adolescents (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions), which put forward planning and implementation opinions on the development of sports and education integration from many aspects, such as strengthening school sports work and improving the youth sports event system.
With the highlight of the effect after the release of the document, more and more sports teenagers will find their own life direction from it, and sports will truly help teenagers grow up healthily.
