Speaking of China's women's volleyball team, I believe every Chinese will do it in their heartsSecretly thumbs up
In the 80s of the 20th century, the Chinese women's volleyball team won two World Cups, the World Championships in 1982 and 1986, and the Olympic Games in 1984He won five consecutive championships and is known as the only five-time championship in the world volleyball world.
In 2016, after 12 years of hard workCoach Lang Ping led the girls of the women's volleyball team to win the third gold medal in the Rio Games in Brazil。This not only boiled the volleyball girls who had been in the doldrums for a long time, but also made countless fans who were concerned about the women's volleyball team fall to the ground.
And our Chinese women's volleyball team has come to such a brilliant dayIt is bound to be inseparable from a man behind this group of girlsHe is the father of the women's volleyball teamYuan Weimin, the best coach who led the women's volleyball team to win the first Olympic gold medal.
Mr. Yuan Weimin retired from the General Administration of Sports in December 2004 at the age of 65.
Looking back on the first half of this old gentleman's life,It's wonderfulBecause volleyball is famous and bright, and then it has expanded to the entire sports world, I have to say,Mr. Yuan Weimin has provided inexhaustible impetus for the development of China's sports industry.
In 1939, Yuan Weimin was born in the suburbs of Suzhou, as the youngest in the family, he was almost favored by the family.
Although the parents are not highly educated,But for Yuan Weimin's education, he gave the best with all his heart. Yuan Weimin was also unrestrained when he was a child, noWhether it is moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor, or conduct, they are all called "children of the next door".
In fact, Yuan Weimin is engaged in sportsIt is not an exaggeration to say that it is an arrangement between fateAt that time, he was interested in everything, but he had no goal.
When he was preparing for the college entrance examination, the instructor of the aviation school who selected the pilot to select good seedlings, and Yuan Weimin was lucky to be recruited for a physical examinationBut it's a pity that it was brushed off again because of arthritis.
But the instructor is really sorry for Yuan Weimin, who is 1.8 meters tall, and he can still be a pilot if he doesn't go to be a pilotConsidering a ** education or something, maybe you can make a difference.
I didn't expect it to be such a sentence, and he didFollowed the basketball coach awayAccording to the coach's words, such a good seedling should be cultivated as soon as possible.
Although his parents are not very supportive of Yuan Weimin taking the road of sports, after all, he is a pampered youngest son and his grades have always been very good, so he can be admitted to a cultural university or take the exam.
Yuan Weimin didn't listen to his parents this timeWhen I went to the training team, I not only had a subsidy but also food and accommodation, which was considered to be earning money while attending classes.
The brothers and sisters in the family also need money to support themselves, and although they are the youngest, they still try to help as much as possible when they are able to take care of the family.
When he first arrived at Nanjing Institute of Physical Education, Yuan Weimin followed basketball coach Mao Abao and stood in the same team of reserve players selected from all over Jiangsu as he did.
Yuan Weimin, who is 1.8 meters tall and has a strong physique, is fragrantFor a while, it was scrambling by various coaches.
In the end, it was Yuan Weimin and Zhang Ran of the provincial volleyball team who chose each other.
During the period when he was a setter in the Jiangsu provincial team, Yuan Weimin's outstanding performance impressed coach Zhang Ran very deeply:
He's a very personal player, he's very responsive, he's a quick learner of any move, and he's a good way to imitate it. Unlike his strict training requirements, Yuan Weimin himself is a man of few words and a gentle manner.Whether it's the daily housekeeping, or taking the initiative to serve as team hygiene,Yuan Weimin's requirements for himself have always had the potential of an ace player. After two years at Nanjing Sports Institute, Yuan Weimin has worked very closely with the team as a setter, and he can pass the ball almost accurately to what height his teammates need.
In 1962,Yuan Weimin, who has an active performance, was recommended by Zhang Ran to enter the national men's volleyball team. And it's not a substitute setter, it isResident setter。After graduating from Nanjing Institute of Physical Education in 1964He is a true national athlete.
In the international volleyball invitational tournament, the Chinese men's volleyball team won the third placeThe young setter who was at the helm of the game on the rubber pitch impressed the players from all over the world.
Going around and around, perhaps the age is limited and the conditions are limited, and Yuan Weimin is not the king of volleyball in the hearts of the Chinese people in the years of the men's volleyball teamUntil he retired at the age of 35, he failed to win a championship.
After sweating on the court for ten years, he understood that the protagonists of the stage should be replaced by the next generation, and the lights should be cast on their proud faces.
In order for himself to be able to do it, but regretting it in his heart, he was approvedA women's volleyball team was formed.
There are a total of 12 team members, with an average height of 176 meters and about 20 years old. Of these, the average height of the 4 setters is 175 meters, the height of the 7 gunners is 178 or more.
The height requirements for volleyball are still very high, and it seems that Yuan Weimin wants to lay a solid foundation from the bottom and then gradually overcome the opponent.
After Yuan Weimin, who has always been strict with himself, became a coach, he should not slack off in treating his playersIt is precisely because it is not qualified to compete with other countries' teams that the women's volleyball team has to train more closely and become a first-class team.
In order to become the feared women's volleyball tiger in other countries, Yuan Weimin has always been very strict with the intensity of training, and the girls will be tortured to tears secretlyBut once you relax, you may never be able to hold your head up.
Yuan Weimin still hardened his heart and continued to supervise, and every time he saw that the girls were about to persevere, he would encourage the girls:
"On the road of our life, everyone will encounter stones, the weak are blocked by stones, and the strong use it to sharpen their will. We want first-class technology, but also iron will. ”One of the official matches of our women's volleyball team was in the 1977 World Cup in Japan, where they won the first game and finished fourthBut at the 1980 World Championships, they didn't even break through the round of 16. This blow almost negates Yuan Weimin's long-standing belief in trainingIs it true that there are some things that cannot be achieved with skill, talent, and cooperation?
He didn't have the courage to replay with the girls, and all he could do was win the next game and be ashamed.
But in order to get the answer in his heart, he specially consulted Mr. Okada, a volleyball senior, when he was in Japan, and did not disappoint Yuan WeiminHe got the answer he wanted:
"I have always believed that the 12 members of the Chinese team are relatively well-rounded, but the Chinese team still lacks a fierce talent, like Japan's Shirai and Maeda, Cuba's Barnete and Perez's heavy gunners. ”All this is like an opportunity to meet given by fate, and the name that has influenced the women's volleyball team for a long time appearedYuan Weimin has also been waiting for a "savior" who can save the status quo of the women's volleyball team, a fierce attacker.
Soon, he met Lang Ping.
At that time, Lang Ping was 17 years old, but he was tall and very flexibleAlthough the body is still slightly delicate, as long as you do a good job of strength training, you will become the pillar of the women's volleyball team in time.
Sure enough, after being tempered by Yuan Weimin, Lang Ping's good iron bloomed with dazzling brilliance in the third World CupThe outstanding performance made it difficult for the audience to take their eyes off Lang Ping's movements.
And as the commander of this army of tigers,Yuan Weimin deserves to win the best coach.
In 1982, after the women's volleyball team changed blood, the team seemed to have returned to the original starting point, not only to re-run-in, cultivate mutual trust and cooperation, but also seize the timeBecause the Asian Championships in a year are imminent.
Perhaps Yuan Weimin was in too much of a hurry, and in 1983, the girls lost to the Japanese women's volleyball team in the final battle for the Asian Championship championship platform.
Looking at the scarred appearance of the girls, Yuan Weimin was no longer harsh on the abnormality:
The game is to win and lose, a team has ups and downs, this is the law of competition. This time, we didn't play well, so we have to admit defeat, but we can't admit defeat. With the Olympics just a few months away, we need to turn defeat into victory.Aim for a triple crown,Yuan Weimin led the girl to start an eight-month intensive trainingFor this reason, he did not hesitate to take care of his body, worked hard day and night on the training plan, and played friendly matches together to learn skills.
At that time, Yuan Weimin was known as the "volleyball maniac", and people who knew him said that for volleyball, his wife and children were gone.
Obviously, his home is not far from the training hall, but it is difficult to go home once, although his wife complains, she still understands Yuan Weimin very well.
But the young son thinks about his father very tightly, once the son had surgery for acute appendicitis, and he stayed in the hospital for a week without seeing his father once, but when the stitches were removed and discharged, Yuan Weimin could be regarded as taking advantage of the lunch break to rush over.
But then he went back to the training gymIt's time to start the afternoon training.
It can be said thatFor the vigorous development of China's sports industry, Yuan Weimin is willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to it, just to see the women's volleyball team become a star shining in the night sky of the world.
In 1984, after leading the women's volleyball team to win the Los Angeles Olympic Games, the goal of "three consecutive championships" was finally perfectly achieved.
And Yuan Weimin has also been promoted from coach to director of the sports committee, which gives him the opportunity to look down on Chinese sports as a whole, not just volleyballHe began to care about each project without discrimination, with the same requirements of the women's volleyball team.
At the end of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Yuan Weimin had a total of 28 gold medals, which is one of the few in the world.
For the praise of "sports power", he said that he did not dare to take it, some projects in this world are indeed much stronger than other countries, and we just want to not lag behind and develop in a balanced manner. It's good to get results on the ground.
Never be proud of the excellent results, this is the truth of the athletes of the Yuan Weimin Church, no matter what, it is practical to seriously complete the current training.
In 2004, Yuan Weimin, who was 65 years oldFinally disarmed and returned to the field, handing over the burden on his shoulders to future generations, just like pinning the dream of a volleyball championship on those dozen or so girls.
When he was the director of the Sports Commission, he once said:
"My 47 years of working in sports have undeniably been full of intense, parental, challenging and arduous work. After my tenure, I will actively participate in the ranks of national fitness, exercise as much as possible and enjoy life. ”In 2022, 83-year-old Yuan Weimin is not only promoting sports among ordinary citizens, but also caring about the sports health of poor children.
And he himself in private, because of his age,It's not as energetic as when I was young, and I'm jumping three feet tallAccording to his son Yuan Li, his father has always insisted on calligraphy as a daily hobby.
In his later years, the sins suffered by his body when he was young gradually emerged, and countless traumatic injuries and his legs and feet were no longer flexible, and now he can no longer stand for a long time.
Mr. Yuan Weimin alsoLove newspaper clippings,He made a self-made newspaper clipping, and every time someone talked to him, this booklet became the basis for his eloquent conversationIf you look closely, this is the decades of ups and downs in the development of sports in China.
Every time he talks with his deceased or juniors, Yuan Weimin likes to take out refreshments to entertain, and it is a long time to chat and eatNow that he hears the news of the volleyball team, Mr. Yuan will also think of those passionate years.
