2023 is coming to an end, and 2024 is about to begin. For the Chinese women's volleyball team, the performance of the past year can be described as a full range of flavors, with joys and sorrows. In the Xinhua News Agency's annual review, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has become a hot topic. From winning the Asian Games to failing to qualify for the Paris Olympics, all signs show that the Chinese women's volleyball team is facing a series of huge challenges.
In the journey of 2023, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to enter the ticket to the Paris Olympics despite winning the gold medal in the Asian Games. Among them, the absence of the key main players Zhang Changning and Zhu Ting has become a major variable in the team's performance. Behind the Asian Games victory, there are hidden problems that cannot be ignored: the instability of performance and the lack of overall hard power.
Xinhua News Agency's comments pointed out that two major problems in the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team throughout the season need to be solved urgently. First of all, the level of performance is not consistent enough and the ups and downs of results are worrying, and secondly, the team's hard power is not enough, which poses a huge challenge for the future Olympic Games in Paris.
The Chinese women's volleyball team is now in a critical period, which is vividly described as a stage of "green and yellow". During Lang Ping's coaching, most of the main players of the women's volleyball team who stood out were still in the team, but during the two years of Cai Bin's coaching, he was not able to cultivate enough young players. This puts the pressure on the veterans almost entirely to compete in the Paris Olympics.
The team is currently over-reliant on veterans such as Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, and the absence of these two key players has directly affected the stability of the team. Under such factors, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has inevitably become a difficult problem in front of the coaching staff. If more young players cannot be cultivated quickly, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the embarrassing problem of who will take over. Looking ahead to 2024, while Zhang Changning and Zhu Ting are expected to return, the key is not the upcoming Olympics. More crucially, after this cycle, the team can welcome better young players. At present, it seems that a good successor has not emerged.
The coaching staff led by Cai Bin will have to take on more responsibilities in the future. Although Zhang Changning and Zhu Ting may be able to lead the team to decent results by 2024, if a new successor cannot be cultivated during this period, the future fate of the team will be unknown. For the coaching staff, it is time to deeply understand the problem and take action to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In addition to paying attention to the current performance and achievements, it is also necessary to focus on the training of young players in the long term.
One of the first tasks for the coaching staff is to break the over-reliance on veterans. Relying too much on veterans such as Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning will put the team in a bigger crisis in the future. To succeed in doing so, we need to put more effort into the training system and selection system to provide more opportunities for young players. In order to maintain the long-term competitiveness of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is necessary not only to pay attention to the solution of existing problems, but also to pay attention to youth training and selection. Under the guidance of the coaching staff, a more complete youth training system will be established to cultivate more potential players to become future national players. At the same time, through a more fair and transparent selection mechanism, we can ensure that talented young players can stand out and quickly become the core strength of the team.
The development process of Chinese football has taught us a lesson, so the Chinese women's volleyball team must learn a lesson and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Otherwise, there may be a fault line in the team in the future, which will not only cause more criticism from fans, but also an unfortunate pain in the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
2023 will be a year of joy and sadness for the Chinese women's volleyball team. The existence of problems requires the coaching staff to respond in a timely manner, not only focusing on the present, but also thinking about the future. Only through the two-pronged approach of youth training and selection can we ensure that the Chinese women's volleyball team will achieve more impressive results in the 2024 Paris Olympics and the future journey. Only by attaching more importance to future training can the Chinese women's volleyball team maintain sustainable competitiveness on the international stage. To do this, the coaching staff first needs to recognize the seriousness of the problem and develop a long-term development plan.
To solve the problems faced by the Chinese women's volleyball team, the first task is to pay attention to youth training and infrastructure construction. Establish a comprehensive and systematic youth training system, starting from the basic skills training of young players, and gradually deepen the improvement of technical and tactical levels. In addition, we will strengthen cooperation with campus sports, guide more outstanding young athletes to enter the field of volleyball, and expand the talent pool. Through cooperation with schools, clubs and other institutions, youth volleyball leagues are set up to provide more competition opportunities and identify and cultivate potential volleyball talents at an early stage. At the same time, encourage and support schools to set up special volleyball courses to cultivate more potential young players.
In order to ensure the development of young players, the coaching staff needs to establish a transparent and fair selection mechanism. Ensure that every talented young player has the opportunity to participate in the national team selection, regardless of geography, background and other factors. In this way, more potential talents can be tapped and strong support for the future competition of the Chinese women's volleyball team. A transparent selection mechanism can also improve the cohesion and cohesion of the team. The players will be more confident because they know that they will only be able to secure a place in the national team through a fair selection. Such a system can also reduce disharmony within the team and better promote the collaboration of the whole team.
In order to fill the age gap of the existing team, the introduction of professional foreign players is a viable option. Through cooperation with top international players, the Chinese women's volleyball team can better learn from international experience and inherit world-class volleyball skills and tactics. This will not only help to improve the level of the team as a whole, but also provide opportunities for young players to learn Xi. The introduction of foreign players can also improve the level of the domestic league and stimulate the enthusiasm of more players. A higher level of competition will be a fertile ground for developing young players who can grow and improve better in such a stage.
In a long-term competitive career, players need not only to improve their skills and physical fitness, but also to improve their mental quality. The coaching staff should strengthen psychological counseling and cultivate the psychological resilience of players. Through a professional psychological counseling team, we help players better cope with the pressure and difficulties in the game. The improvement of psychological quality will help the players to become unfazed at critical moments and not be disturbed by external factors. This is essential to improve the overall competitiveness of the team and to achieve good results in international competitions in particular.
Formulating a long-term development plan is a key part of ensuring the continued success of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the future. The coaching staff needs to plan ahead for the gradual fading of veterans and make reasonable arrangements for the integration of new talents. By gradually guiding young players to participate in more competitions, they can hone their abilities and gain experience for future competition. Formulate a scientific and reasonable retirement plan, plan the career of veterans, and help them smoothly transition to new roles, such as coaching, management, etc. This will not only free up more space for young players to develop, but also allow veterans to develop better after their careers.
The Chinese women's volleyball team is standing at a critical development node, and it is particularly urgent to solve the current problems and take precautions. The coaching staff, management and the entire volleyball system need to work together to formulate a scientific strategy and lay a solid foundation for the future development of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Through the efforts of youth training, selection, introduction of foreign aid, psychological counseling and long-term planning, I believe that the Chinese women's volleyball team will shine again in the future Paris Olympics and the longer future.
