Table tennis is not the only sport in which Chinese players stay in the ocean. In the field of women's volleyball, Zhu Ting's experience in the ocean has set an example for many young players. Recently, another women's volleyball star Yao Di's road to stay abroad has once again attracted widespread attention.
The 2023-24 Serie A women's volleyball league season has begun, with Zhu Ting's Scandicci club winning the opening match. After the match, Scandicci's official social media interactions with Chinese player Yao Di came into focus. Yao Di's typing of "I am coming" has led many fans to speculate whether she is about to join Scandicci again. It is worth mentioning that Yao Di was invited by Scandicci after helping the Tianjin women's volleyball team win the championship last season, and joined Serie A after the end of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League, becoming teammates with Zhu Ting.
Yao Di's road to the ocean was not all smooth sailing. Despite her outstanding performance in the domestic league, in the national team she did not get enough opportunities. Especially under Cai Bin's coaching, Yao Di has repeatedly expressed his hope to return to the national team, but has not received a response. However, her experience in the ocean proved her strength and value, and also set an example for other women's volleyball players who are interested in going abroad.
Staying in the ocean is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity. For a player like Yao Di, Liuyang can not only improve his skills and experience, but also win more opportunities and recognition for himself. I hope that more Chinese women's volleyball players can bravely go abroad and show their talents.
When an athlete steps onto the field, tension and excitement are emotions that often accompany him, like the alternating waves of the ocean. This alternation of moods runs through the entire competition process and becomes a dynamic rhythm in the inner world of athletes.
Before the start of the competition, tension hangs over the athletes. This tension is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it is a natural reaction, stemming from seriousness and respect for the game. Athletes understand that this competition represents countless hours of training and effort, represents individual and team honor, and as such, tension is their motivation to focus and give their all. When they don their race attire, stand at the starting line or are ready for the first moment of the race, tension keeps them alert and makes sure no detail is missed.
However, nervousness is not the only emotion, and excitement is always lurking deep in the athlete's heart. Excitement stems from the love of sport and the desire to win. It spawns in the game like a flame burning. When the starting guns go off or the race officially begins, the excitement fills the athletes with energy and courage. They know that this is the moment for them to show their strength, and when the opportunity comes, they must not hesitate to seize it.
This alternation of moods during the game will also play out throughout the course of the game. Athletes may swing back and forth between nervousness and excitement. When they face strong competition from their opponents, tensions rise again, reminding them to stay alert. But in the course of the competition, when a wonderful moment occurs, the excitement will be ignited instantly, bringing waves of motivation and allowing athletes to unleash their potential.
After the competition, whether victory or defeat, athletes will feel the profound experience of this emotional alternation. Victory brings tension and excitement, while defeat can be accompanied by loss and reflection. However, these emotions are unique to the game, and they shape the character of athletes, teaching them to be tough and withstand pressure.
In short, the excitement of the athletes on the field is an indispensable part of the competition process. This emotional rhythm stimulates the fighting spirit and passion of the athletes, pushing them to constantly strive for excellence. It is this mood ups and downs that makes the game so engaging and a source of magic that never wanes in the world of sports.
When athletes stand at the starting line and wait for the start of the race, they usually feel intense nervousness and excitement. This moment is the climax before the start of the game, and they must overcome their anxiety and be ready to soar.
During competitions, athletes may experience setbacks or disappointments, and self-doubt tends to surface. They will question their abilities, but it is also an opportunity to move forward stronger by overcoming self-doubt.
Sometimes, athletes experience a state known as a "fluid state," which is the feeling of being fully focused and effortlessly performing a task. In this state, they hardly feel anxious or nervous, but are completely focused on the game.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, athletes experience the emotions that come with victory and defeat. They may feel extreme joy and satisfaction when they win, and frustration and loss when they lose. However, these emotions are also opportunities to grow and learn.
In team competitions, athletes have to work with both teammates and rivals. This leads to a unique emotional experience of both euphoria for a team win and personal anticipation of one's own performance.
The shouts and cheers of spectators often inspire the fighting spirit and motivation of the athletes. They will feel supported and encouraged, which will play a positive role in improving their performance.
No matter what emotions they experience during the competition, athletes learn to control their emotions in order to perform at their best. Training and mental preparation play an important role in this, helping them cope with various emotions and turn them into positive motivation to achieve excellence. Racing is an emotional roller coaster, and it is in the process that athletes shape themselves and constantly strive for higher heights.
