However, we often overlook their physical and mental health, which has a huge impact on their careers and quality of life.
It is worrying that the situation in my country has continued to deteriorate over time. Data shows that by 2024, the number of sports personnel who die of illness or accidents in China will increase every year, which has become a serious social problem. For example, in 2019, 170 sports personnel died due to sudden illnesses and accidents in our country. And in 2023, that number has risen to an eye-popping 290. These data are undoubtedly a reminder that the health of sports personnel is not being cared for and protected enough.

Coaches play an important role in the field of sports, guiding athletes with outstanding intelligence and enthusiasm. The death of every coach is a huge blow to the entire sports world.
We need to pay more attention to the mental health of sports personnel. The Chinese sports world has experienced many ups and downs in the past period, and each time it is like a wake-up call in the ears.

The passing away of Coach Ding Tie is shocking and makes us deeply reflect on the concern for the health of sports practitioners. As a good coach, he needs to work hard in a high-intensity, high-pressure environment, and endure the fatigue and tension of the game. These hidden dangers are like quiet but deadly underwater dangerous rocks. Many sports professionals often ignore the body's stop warnings when they are running around day and night for the game and giving it their all. The passing away of Coach Ding Tie once again reminds us that physical health is the foundation of everything, and only by keeping this line can we go further and more stable on the road of sports.
The passing of Coach Ding Tie has forced us to reflect on whether we are paying enough attention to and managing the health problems of sports practitioners. Sports personnel are under tremendous pressure, and they need to sweat and fight for competitions, training, and other tasks. In the midst of a busy schedule, their health is often overlooked. The death of Coach Ding Tie is a wake-up call for us that health issues cannot be ignored for sports personnel.
