In China, when it comes to women's volleyball, one person has to mention, he is Yuan Weimin. As the founder of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Yuan Weimin has led the team to win three world championships, and he was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame as a coach.
Yuan Weimin's contribution to Chinese volleyball is obvious to all. At that time, China's volleyball industry was still in its infancy, and both training methods and conditions were far behind Japan, Europe and the United States.
It is in this situation that Yuan Weimin was able to lead the team to win the championship, what did he rely on? It relies on a strength that does not admit defeat. Although European and American countries have advanced technology, Chinese women's volleyball can make up for it.
As the head coach, Yuan Weimin actively coordinated with his superiors while leading the team training, hoping that the National Sports Federation could pay more attention to the women's volleyball team. Although not favorable, Yuan Weimin still had confidence in his disciples.
As a head coach, Yuan Weimin not only has strong coaching ability, but also excellent on-the-spot adaptability. At the same time, Yuan Weimin has a very good relationship with his teammates, and he is also very good at mobilizing the emotions of the players.
In that era, leading the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the World Cup championship was a historic moment for Chinese sports. As Lang Ping's mentor, Yuan Weimin made great contributions.
It is worth mentioning that with his excellent performance as a coach, Yuan Weimin was unexpectedly promoted to the deputy director of the National Sports Commission and entered the career path. Before retiring, Yuan Weimin served as director of the State General Administration of Sports, at the ministerial level. Yuan Weimin's contribution to Chinese sports is obvious to all.
After retiring, Yuan Weimin also unloaded the burden on his shoulders. Previously, because he was too busy with work, Yuan Weimin rarely had time to spend time with his family, but now that he is idle, Yuan Weimin has picked up calligraphy again and rarely appears in public again.
Previously, "Chess Saint" Nie Weiping once told such a story in an interview that when Yuan Weimin was the director of the General Administration of Sports, his son Yuan Grains was very naughty, taking cool water in winter to nourish the athletes who were training.
At that time, Yuan Weimin was too busy and had little time to discipline Yuan Grain. After Nie Weiping saw this scene, he called Yuan Ren to him and did some verbal education. But the latter did not think so, and even moved out of the name of his father Yuan Weimin. But where does the straight-faced Nie Weiping care about this, the golden phrase "I hit Yuan Weimin's son" comes from this.
Today, Yuan Ren is no longer the same child he was at the beginning, and Yuan Weimin has also retired for nearly 20 years. Although he is no longer in office, Yuan Weimin is still very concerned about the development of China's sports industry. It is a blessing for Chinese sports to have such an excellent leader as Yuan Weimin!
