The natural motor cells are ready to go
As a girl from a sports family, Yuan Xinyue has shown unprecedented athletic talent since she was a child. On a cold winter night in 1996, this miracle was born in Chongqing.
The father was a tall 1. The 93-meter basketball player, whose mother is also from the Sichuan Provincial Women's Volleyball Team, also inherited good height genes. Therefore, both parents are full of confidence in Yuan Xinyue's future potential.
When Yuan Xinyue is four or five years old, she will obviously be much taller than her peers. When walking, he walks steadily, his head grows in joints, and he shows an excellent physical advantage. 's mother serves as a sports school coach, and Yuan Xinyue always plays alone in the field after work, and her skills are vigorous.
She developed a strong interest in volleyball and learned basic movements such as serving and receiving Xi.
As she grew older, the little Yuan Xinyue began formal training. Her mother hoped that she could inherit her unfinished football dream, and pinned infinite hopes on this girl.
Yuan Xinyue, who is in the period of rapid growth in life, urgently needs systematic self-discipline training and all-round development. In addition to the strict discipline of my mother, my father also did his best to provide nutritional supplements.
Under the careful care of his parents, the motor cells that are ready to go are gradually awakened.
A small body holds big dreams
When she was 12 years old, Yuan Xinyue received the first important invitation in her life - the Bayi women's volleyball team wanted her to come for a trial. For the girl from this sports family, this is undoubtedly the moment when the seeds that her parents have cultivated for many years begin to bear fruit.
Leaving the familiar home and coming to distant Beijing, for a little girl like Yuan Xinyue, the inner turmoil is unimaginable.
Whenever there is a dead of night, Yuan Xinyue, who misses her relatives, can't help but shed tears. She never complained about her loneliness to her mother on the phone, for fear that her family would worry about it.
However, the mother can always feel the longing for home in the choking that her daughter can't hide. For this reason, the mother came from Chongqing to see her daughter and found that she had obviously lost a lot of weight.
However, Yuan Xinyue is already sensible, and she knows that her mother's stay by her side will cause a heavy burden to the family. So, she endured the pain and let her mother return to work. Since then, Yuan Xinyue has learned to use sweat and hard work to resolve the pain of homesickness, and she told herself that she would set sail in the broader world of Bayi women's volleyball team and realize her volleyball dream.
Behind the halo lies a flaw
Selected for the national junior team at the age of 15 and promoted to the national team at the age of 16, Yuan Xinyue's growth trajectory is stable and amazing, and is regarded by the outside world as the greatest hope for the follow-up development of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
However, behind the glamour, the hidden worries and flaws of the athletes themselves are gradually emerging. During the period of playing for the Bayi women's volleyball team, Yuan Xinyue could only sit on the bench and let the time pass by minute by minute, in the eyes of the coach, her performance was not as sharp as expected.
The reason is that Yuan Xinyue's offensive means are single, and it is easy to be seen through by opponents; There are also frequent mistakes in the blocking position, allowing the ball to go to the ground.
So, the coach arranged for her to "guard" the water cooler on the sidelines, waiting for her teammates to rehydrate. At first, Yuan Xinyue didn't think there was anything wrong.
Yuan Xinyue, who is in a period of rapid growth, if she does not have the opportunity to appear for a long time, it will be extremely detrimental to her future development. The arrival of her mother was like timely rain, and she told Yuan Xinyue that this kind of setback has been experienced by almost all athletes, and her daughter only needs to grit her teeth and calm down to train.
With the encouragement of her mother, Yuan Xinyue rekindled her fighting spirit, adhered to her principles, and waited for the opportunity to come.
Fight to fame and unleash endless possibilities
With the encouragement of her mother, Yuan Xinyue finally ushered in the first turning point in her life. At the 2014 World Championships, at the age of 18, she entered the starting lineup of the Chinese team.
The game was a white-hot juncture, and in the semi-finals, the Chinese team encountered the powerful Italian team. At a critical juncture, the coach put Yuan Xinyue on the court.
In this battle, the young Yuan Xinyue was calm and calm, attacked decisively, and blocked the net steadily. Under her leadership, the Chinese women's volleyball team successfully defeated strong opponents and reached the finals.
In just one battle, Yuan Xinyue wrote the history of the national team, detonated the whole game, and became the key to winning the championship. Since then, she has become famous, and her name has been associated with "Wonder Soldier" and "New Star".
In the Rio Olympics, 20-year-old Yuan Xinyue won gold with the team and realized the dream of Rio. Then the veterans left the team one after another, and she became the new mainstay. The Tokyo Olympics took over the banner and turned the tide.
For a time, infinite anticipation and aura focused on this new star. Together with Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, she is known as the "three golden flowers" of the Chinese team, and is highly expected by the Chinese people.
There are still countless days waiting for this girl in her early twenties to write her own legend.
The hero of a new chapter in the saga
After becoming famous in the first battle, Yuan Xinyue continued to make great contributions to the national team and has become the leader of the new generation of women's volleyball team. Gold in Rio, relay in Tokyo, this rising star has grown up in the top competitions.
However, it is worth noting that after the defeat in the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in unprecedented ups and downs.
The veterans hung up their sneakers one after another, and the rest of their comrades-in-arms who had shared weal and woe with each other began to bid farewell to the arena one after another. As a new force, Yuan Xinyue had to take over the heavy banner in advance in this relay.
The eyes and doubts of the outside world are focused on this well-deserved new generation of leaders at the same time.
Yes, after several defeats, Yuan Xinyue's performance has indeed been criticized by the outside world. We should not be overly pessimistic, let alone set the final judgment on the development path of young athletes.
At this moment, the 27-year-old Yuan Xinyue still has a long career ahead. She is still sticking to her original intention, practicing as hard as she did when she first left home.
There is reason to believe that this new star of the Chinese women's volleyball team will return to the top in the future and write a new chapter of his own legend. When she leads the team to win the championship again, all doubts and disdain will disappear.
