National table tennis, the former team of kings, has been in trouble frequently in recent years. This phenomenon highlights a profound question: has the high-intensity training faced by national table tennis players exceeded the limits of physical and mental endurance?
Psychological stress and physical exertion of players:
On the surface, the national table tennis players face boring rackets and nets every day, and tirelessly carry out high-load training. This type of training undoubtedly develops the player's excellent skills, but it also brings a huge mental and physical exertion. Chen Meng's cry is the embodiment of the true inner state of the national table tennis athletes. "We're under too much pressure, and we don't know how much more we're going to bear," she said. These simple words speak to the true feelings of the players.
The root cause of the national table tennis disease:
In addition to Chen Meng, other players have also had similar problems many times. Running long hours between training and competition, they rarely have time to rest and relax. It can be seen that the root cause of the national table tennis disease comes from overtraining and an unbalanced life.
However, we can't just look at the brilliance of the results and ignore the hard work and dedication of the players. Choosing national table tennis means giving up a lot of things. But let's think about it, is this how the team exists?
The importance of holistic development and physical and mental health:
Different people have different understandings. For national table tennis, what they need is all-round development, not just technological breakthroughs. We should fundamentally change the way we train so that athletes can better balance physical fitness and mental health.
National table tennis needs to provide players with more rest time so that they have the opportunity to experience the beauty of life. Only players who are physically and mentally fit can perform at their best on the field and truly represent their country to win honours.
Care and understanding for young players:
At the same time, for young players, what they need more is care and understanding. We can't just cheer on their opponents when they defeat them and laugh at them when they fail. We should give them support and encouragement to help them get out of their difficulties and regain their self-confidence.
Institutional deficiencies and reform needs:
The root cause of national table tennis may not only be a problem with training methods, but also a defect in the entire system. We need to change the status quo and put people first and focus on the physical and mental well-being of our players. Only in this way can we expect national table tennis to appear on the world stage again.
Chen Meng's touching words are the starting point of our thinking. With comprehensive reform and attention to the physical and mental health of athletes, national table tennis will regain its glory. This is not only about a team, but also about the future of the entire Chinese table tennis industry.
Through such thinking and changes, we may be able to see another scene of national table tennis: the players are healthier and happier in training and competitions, achieve more impressive results, and win more honors for the country. This will be a brand-new national table tennis, glowing with more brilliance and bringing more hope and possibilities to the future of Chinese table tennis.
