In the sports arena, behind every brilliant achievement, there will always be a group of behind-the-scenes heroes who pay silently. While they don't enjoy the glory of standing on the podium like athletes and managers, they are also responsible for the team's success. And the Chinese women's volleyball team once had such a behind-the-scenes hero, he was the former assistant coach of Lang Ping - An Jiajie.
As an assistant to former Chinese women's volleyball coach Lang Ping, An Jiajie participated in the Rio Olympics and the 2019 World Cup, and won the championship with the team. Whether it is tactical deployment or daily training, An Jiajie's professionalism and professionalism have made a lot of contributions to the return of the Chinese women's volleyball team to the top that year.
However, after Lang Ping stepped down, An Jiajie was once expected to become the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but failed to achieve his wish because of the Chinese women's volleyball team's fiasco at the Tokyo Olympics. Such setbacks undoubtedly brought him challenges, but at the same time they were also a new beginning. Since then, Cai Bin has become the new coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and An Jiajie can only return to the Shandong women's volleyball team to continue coaching.
After returning to the Shandong women's volleyball team, An Jiajie was not discouraged by the lack of the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and he continued to devote himself to coaching with great enthusiasm. Although the outside world has mixed reviews of him, some recognize the positive impact he has brought to the team, and some are dissatisfied with the team's progress, but these have not affected An Jiajie's persistent pursuit of volleyball.
Now, in his new role, he has expanded his responsibilities to include volleyball management and development throughout Shandong Province. His visit to the Under-17 training camp not only showed his concern for the young players, but also showed the importance he attached to developing the reserve force. Such a change is not only a recognition of An Jiajie's personal ability, but also an affirmation of his efforts in the field of volleyball over the years.
It is worth mentioning that An Jiajie has now become the deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Row Management Center, with an administrative level of deputy director, which has surpassed Cai Bin. In the Chinese sports system, the promotion of the administrative level often means greater responsibility and a broader stage, which undoubtedly creates favorable conditions for An Jiajie to enter a higher level of management in the future.
At present, the director of the China Row Management Center is Lai Yawen, and her rank is at the department level. Judging from An Jiajie's recent promotion, he is likely to be transferred to the Row Management Center by the General Administration of Sports in the future and become Lai Yawen's successor in the future. As An Jiajie's old friend and comrade-in-arms, former Chinese women's volleyball head coach Lang Ping knows and recognizes his ability and character very well. I believe that at that time, Lang Ping will definitely send her blessings.
It can be said that An Jiajie's career is full of ups and downs and changes, but it is these experiences that have shaped his tenacious character and excellent coaching ability, his love and dedication to volleyball are admirable, and he has made great contributions to the Chinese women's volleyball team both as a player and as a coach.
Today, An Jiajie serves as the deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Volleyball Management Center, which will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the volleyball industry in Shandong and even the whole country. Although there are still many challenges in the future, I believe that with An Jiajie's talent and hard work, he will be able to lead Shandong volleyball to new glory. At the same time, fans also expect An Jiajie to make more contributions to the Chinese volleyball industry in the future and continue to write his own legendary chapter.
