Many people pay attention to the Olympics and have a deep understanding of the Olympics. Some people are not interested in the Olympics at all, but anyway, as long as we love life and our motherland. The following is the inspirational story of volleyball coach Lang Ping, which I compiled. I hope it will help everyone.
The inspirational story of volleyball coach Lang Ping 1 20 15 Lang Ping can finally fulfill his long-cherished wish and wait for a crown for 20 years. She deserves more. As an athlete, "Iron Hammer" is undoubtedly recognized as the hero of China women's volleyball team to achieve five consecutive championships. She became a coach after retiring. She returned to China on 1995 to take charge of the women's volleyball team in China. During the Beijing Olympic cycle, she served as the head coach of the American women's volleyball team for 4 years. In 20 13, she was once again on the verge of crisis and shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading China women's volleyball team to compete for medals in Rio Olympic Games. From 1995 to 20 15, Lang Ping still owes her a gold medal in the three world competitions during her almost perfect coaching career.
Lang Ping was born in1960,65438+February, 10. It was a cold winter day. Due to many factors such as natural disasters, the economic conditions of "everyone" and "small family" are very poor. Lang Ping was weak when she was a child, and her mother often used millet porridge to supplement her nutritional needs, without giving her special treatment. For this period of life, her mother said frankly: "Life was like that at that time, and there was nothing to be surprised about." Mother's thought of treating hard life with a peaceful mind has a far-reaching influence on Lang Ping's future growth.
At the age of seven, Lang Ping entered the threshold of primary school. At Dongguang Road Primary School in Chaoyang District, Beijing, she began her childhood study career. Speaking of Lang Ping's personality, there are both the boldness and boldness of his father who grew up in the north and the quietness and delicacy of his mother from the south. This good personality makes her brave and tenacious like a boy when she is moving, and quieter than ordinary girls when she is quiet.
Once, several boys wanted to compete with her to climb a tree to see who could climb high. The other girls were shocked, but she looked up at the height of the tree unconvinced, and then climbed up without hesitation, which made her partners admire. Lang Ping's father is a sports fan. Whenever there is an opportunity, he takes his daughter to the Beijing Workers' Gymnasium near his home to watch the football match. Father's love for sports influenced Lang Ping. In the memory of Lang Ping's childhood, volleyball left a good impression on her.
With the change of time, Lang Ping is getting higher and higher. Standing among her peers, she stands out like a "standout". 1978, Lang Ping took part in the national first-class volleyball league, made his mark, was favored by coach Yuan Weimin, and entered the national team. After hard training, she became "one of the three main attackers in the world". The excellent high-level blocking and smashing technology of landing and flowering has amazed the world. I often hear some parents complain about their children: "My child is not stupid than other children, but impatient. I always do things anticlimactic and give up halfway. " In view of this situation, parents should know that whether things have a beginning and an end is a matter of will quality in psychological activities. Whether your will is strong or not has an important influence on the success or failure of your study and work when you grow up.
Inspirational Story of Volleyball Coach Lang Ping 2 After the Olympic Games, Lang Ping left the American women's volleyball team and went to Turkey to coach. In 2009, Lang Ping returned to China to coach Guangzhou Evergrande Women's Volleyball Team. 20 12 London Olympic Games, Lang Ping saw China women's volleyball team lost to Japan and was pushed out of the semi-finals. When China asked her to speak, she was in tears.
April 20 13, Lang Ping was ordered to take over the women's volleyball team, which was an unpleasant position. In the previous Asian Championships, the women's volleyball team created the fourth worst record in Asia.
In the past two years, Lang Ping has been a well-deserved mainstay of this team which occupied more than half of the country after 1990s. At the age of 55, she is both a coach and a mother.
On the court, she set an example. With a bad lumbar spine, she staggered slightly, but once she had to explain her skills and tactics, she chose to go into battle in person. Even after training, she will spend half an hour doing physical therapy.
Off the court, she is considerate to the players, encourages young players to have their own personalities, and will also pay for the players to buy eggs and red envelopes for the New Year. "In terms of age, they are like my daughters, so I still bear the responsibility of being a mother."
The "goddess" in the player's mouth is usually the busiest person in the volleyball league. She once flew to three cities in just three days, just to observe the state of the players. On weekdays, she also collects all kinds of information and materials of players and opponents, and communicates with rehabilitation therapists about the treatment and recovery methods of players.
Her enthusiasm for work even made An Jiajie, the assistant coach, sigh. "She was eager to work, and even the players were surprised when she got engaged. Dao Lang is busy until he is 30 years old. " In just two years, Lang Ping, like a workaholic, has built a team of world champions with an average age of less than 24.
In addition to winning the championship, Lang Ping also endowed the women's volleyball spirit with new connotations.
The spirit of China women's volleyball team used to be fearless, brave in sacrifice and fighting for the country as its spiritual connotation. Those spiritual qualities whose personal values are subordinate to collective values and those that transcend material restrictions are regarded as experiences to be popularized in various fields.
As a practitioner and preacher of the spirit of that generation of women's volleyball, Lang Ping still bears the "gift" of that era: both the player and the coach have fainted many times at the scene, and the doctor even made the diagnosis of "30-year-old old bones".
At present, in China women's volleyball team, the devil training rules lacking individuality have been replaced by careful observation and silent expression. In the competition, Lang Ping never yelled at the players, but encouraged them to express their views bravely. She guides team members to use high technology and sets an example.
The same is true for injuries. After Zhao was injured in 2004, a large-scale lobbying group was formed to instill in Zhao the idea that he needed back in the game as soon as possible, hoping that Zhao could play again. As a result, Zhao finally created a physiological miracle of fracture patients: in the first battle of Athens in the 2004 Olympic Games, Zhao played, but only five minutes later, he "clicked to the ground".
But this time, although Hui Ruoqi has an irreplaceable role, and she also expressed her willingness to continue to participate in the competition, after the inspection, Lang Ping and others made a decision that she would not return to the team and stay in Beijing for observation. The relevant parties even adjusted the requirements of competition results, and the words "people-oriented" also appeared in the mouth of officials for the first time.
Lang Ping's familiarity with China's reality and international rules enabled her to create the glory of the China women's volleyball team again and let the China women's volleyball team take off again in the most difficult period. Because of her familiarity, she was able to obtain the maximum free environment, give full play to her magical hands, dissect and even improve the existing system. It is in this free air that women volleyball girls can grow up step by step in the competition and hone themselves, instead of erasing their individuality in strict training day after day.
Inspirational Story of Volleyball Coach Lang Ping 3 Some people say that without Lang Ping, there would be no "long-faced" China women's volleyball team. Yes, in the sports history of China, almost no one can be loved by the public for more than 30 years. She led the China women's volleyball team to the top of the world with five consecutive championships in the player era; After coaching, he led the China women's volleyball team back to the top of volleyball. ...
All the streets echoed with her legend.
198116 in the evening, schools closed, factories stopped working, and even crows stopped barking, and the whole country seemed to come to a standstill.
People all over the country stand in front of black and white TV sets and radios. At this time, the final of the 3rd Women's Volleyball World Cup is going on, and China is playing against the host Japanese team.
In the deafening cry of home fans, a Beijing girl named Lang Ping detained the world champion, and the China women's volleyball team won 3-2.
China women's volleyball team won the world championship for the first time with 7 games and 7 wins, achieving a historic breakthrough of three goals.
The whole China was boiling, and people gathered in Tiananmen Square, shouting "Long live China! Long live the women's volleyball team! "
It is said that the congratulatory messages from the State Sports Commission, All-China Sports Federation, All-China Federation of Trade Unions, All-China Women's Federation and other units have reached the team before the award ceremony is over.
People's Daily reported on February 5th that China women's volleyball team received 30,000 congratulatory letters, congratulatory messages and various souvenirs, of which more than 3,000 were named for Lang Ping. All the teachers and students of Shanxi Taiyuan Institute of Machinery even sent a horizontal plaque nearly two meters long, which read "Revitalizing China" in four gold-plated characters.
The next day, almost all the headlines in domestic newspapers reported the news that the women's volleyball team won the championship. On the front page of People's Daily: "Learn from the women's volleyball team and revitalize China-China won", the commentator wrote, "Why are you worried that modernization cannot be realized in the spirit of China women's volleyball team?"
She is the "world's number one attacker" and the "iron hammer" in the mouth of fans.
"Playing ball is not our own personal affairs or personal behavior at all, but a national event. I do not belong to myself. The women's volleyball team is a flag. The momentum of women's volleyball has revitalized an era. She is a symbol of the 80 s. "
Lang Ping, the soul of the women's volleyball team, wrote in his autobiography "Passion Years".
According to statistics, in 7 games, China * * * team spiked116 times, among which Lang Ping spiked 407 times, scoring 79 points, and the smash hit rate was close to 50%. The fans affectionately called her "iron hammer", and her heroic spike was even painted into a cartoon and printed with stamps.
The world's number one attacker deserves his name. At that time, Lang Ping showed his physical fitness, and the younger generation could only match it.
Her strength is infinite: she squats to 180KG, which is equal to Liu Hailong, the king of men's Sanda. Chen Zhonghe, the former head coach of women's volleyball team, even said that there is no difference between Lang Ping's spike and male athletes; She has no physical solution: she can smash up to 96 times in a single game, twice as many as others. You know, during the London Olympics, Hui Ruoqi deducted 50 times, and the commentary on the side exclaimed: "This is simply an amazing number." And this number is only the average level of Lang Ping.
She carries the expectations of 654.38 billion people and keeps writing legends.
1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, the myth of Lang Ping reached its peak completely.
Lang Ping led the women's volleyball team in China to win the championship in the group match 1:3, under great pressure.
At the moment of winning the championship, everyone was boiling.
1984 At the Los Angeles Olympic Games, the China women's volleyball team defeated the host American team 3-0 in the final and won the gold medal, achieving three consecutive championships.
At this moment, Lang Ping is really not playing alone. Behind her, she shoulders the eyes and expectations of 654.38 billion people.
1985165438+1October 17, after China defeated Cuba 3- 1, Lang Ping jumped with excitement.
"unite and revitalize China." Like Lang Ping, this resounding slogan has made great contributions to the sports history of China.
However, the legend continues. As a player, she won the MVP of three major events (1982 World Championships, 1984 Olympic Games and 1985 World Cup), leading the China women's volleyball team to five consecutive championships in just five years.
After retiring, I went to study in the United States at my own expense and started again from "nothing"
With the aura of champion, Lang Ping could have got a good job in the system after he retired. But Lang Ping chose a different path, studied English at Beijing Normal University, and then went to study in the United States at his own expense.
When studying in the United States, Lang Ping lived a frugal life and even ate the same cheap sandwiches every day to save money. Because of the visa nature, Lang Ping can't work in the United States to earn money, so she can only work as a volleyball coach at school to offset her tuition. Later, in order to make money to pay tuition, Lang Ping had to play football for the Italian Modena team to make money.
For this "study abroad" experience, she wrote in her autobiography:
1986 officially retired and went to Beijing Normal University English first. After half a year, I had an opportunity to study in the United States at my own expense.
The idea at that time was simple. I just want to go out for a year or two to learn the language and broaden my horizons. Another reason is that China women's volleyball players have won many honors in recent years, and people are almost household names. Although retired, I can't live as freely as ordinary people. Always being noticed by others, I can't help myself. I must go shopping.
Once, I wanted to go to the movies and bought a ticket. I was a few minutes late on purpose. When the lights dimmed and the performance began, we found a seat to sit down. Unexpectedly, we just sat down. Maybe we were both too tall, but several viewers found us. The whole theater was disturbed by this call. As soon as I saw that the situation was not good, I quickly withdrew.
However, many people don't understand my withdrawal. They always think that "women's volleyball team" is the symbol of China, and I am a typical "national hero". It seems that I shouldn't join this "going abroad tide". Someone also stopped me: "You are the world champion, you are the hero, and the country will not treat you badly."
I feel as if I have been misunderstood. I am not afraid of "mistreatment". I just feel that the country and people are too good to me. I can no longer lie on the trophy of "champion" and live on my laurels all my life. I can't sit on honor every day. "World Champion" only explains my past, but once I retire from the women's volleyball team, I am nothing. I want to learn my skills again, and I want to start my life again. I must regard myself as "nothing".
After the penniless "international farmer" came to the United States, he was unable to work and had no financial resources because he got a public visa at his own expense. Because I can't work, I can only use my friend's house as a public canteen. I am full and hungry. Before, I was above everything else. Now, I suddenly fell to the bottom, and I have to rely on others to borrow my car and buy me clothes. All my advantages are gone for a while, and it is difficult to balance in my heart.
Later, I gradually realized that I came to the United States to study, just to master what I didn't have in the past and start a new struggle. I work as a teaching assistant in the college volleyball team. What the school gave me was that I could study for free. But being a teaching assistant is actually coaxing some poor players. At first, it was hard for me to accept that I was a member of the world champion team and came here to coax a group of college students who could hardly play ball. My position was reversed. But I have to convince myself that I don't want to be reversed. Go back to China. You came to America to find "upside down".
At that time, I was poor I didn't want to go to the school cafeteria or McDonald's for lunch during the day, so I made my own rice sandwich, went to the supermarket to buy some salad dressing, cabbage, tomatoes and ham, and then bought two pieces of bread. In this way, I can eat a fast food for a week for five or six yuan. But after eating it, I feel sick at the sight of sandwiches.
In order to be financially independent, I went to an Italian club to play ball to make money. One year later, my visa was changed to a "work visa" because of this work experience, and I can apply for a green card in the United States. What's more gratifying is that I passed the language barrier with a TOEFL score of 560, and after a rigorous examination, I became a graduate student majoring in sports management at the University of New Mexico.
These eight years of overseas life experience have honed my mind and wisdom. I stepped on the ground one by one as a "world champion" and stepped on it steadily.
If I hadn't experienced the "penniless, penniless" life after going abroad, without these ups and downs, my life would not have set sail for the second time.
In order to pull the China women's volleyball team out of the trough, she was exhausted.
1995, China women's volleyball team fell into a trough, and Lang Ping was ordered to return to China as the head coach of women's volleyball team. She left home and returned to Beijing alone.
Returning to China to teach, not only the salary is not high, the risk and pressure are enormous, but also the work is particularly hard. Many signed contracts have been cancelled, and generous treatment and comfortable living conditions are gone. I have to face a long separation from my husband and daughter. Lang Ping said: "If it's for money and salary, I won't come back!"
Her autobiography "Years of Burning Love" has a more detailed description.
1994165438+10. In October, I played the last game with the Yaohan World Star Team, and the China Association called me and asked me to turn around from Hongkong and go back to the United States, saying that I had something to discuss. On the evening of my arrival in Beijing, Wei Min (former head coach of the national women's volleyball team) and I chatted about the situation of the women's volleyball team. We really can't bear to watch China's women's volleyball team fall to the eighth place in the world and never recover.
Wei Min said that what the women's volleyball team lacks most is a spirit and the cohesion of the coach. Mobilizing athletes needs a personality, and time is particularly urgent. The Atlanta Olympic Games is only one and a half years away, so it is not allowed to start slowly. He has confidence in me and wants me to consider whether I can come back to coach. I also know that Wei Min's coaches are usually from Dont Ask For Help. 1At the beginning of 995, the China Volleyball Association held a national coach meeting and decided to replace the head coach of China women's volleyball team. Everyone also proposed a candidate and thought of me. So, the volleyball association sent one telex after another to the University of New Mexico where I worked, and the director of the ball department also sent me a telegram. One sentence touched me: "Lang Ping, the motherland really needs you!" Indeed, it was this sentence that finally made me determined.
At that time, an American friend advised me: You have worked so hard, and the pressure on the national team for so many years is too great. Besides, your family situation is not good, and the children are so small, how can you go back? Besides, you have so many contracts. Is such a big sacrifice worth it? I have thought about all these advantages and disadvantages myself. Returning to China to teach is really a serious move. Perhaps, it will change my life and destiny again.
The coach's difficulties are also conceivable. But I know more clearly that women's volleyball has a very special position in the minds of Chinese people. The women's volleyball team has surpassed volleyball and sports itself. Although I have left the national team for so many years, everyone will still think of me, especially in the most difficult time of women's volleyball. Giving me this burden is a kind of trust and entrustment.
Sitting on the plane back home, thinking about it, a big question suddenly popped up in my mind: Lang Ping, you are brave enough. Where did you get the courage to go back and pick up such a team? But I will never be blind or impulsive. I elaborated my teaching ideas in detail, and I have a basic spirit: firm belief and hard work.
After flying for more than ten hours, considering the training plan, I felt a little dizzy when I got off the plane. I didn't comb my hair, so I had a little haircut. When I walked to the door of the engine room, I only saw so many people at the airport, some carrying cameras, some holding cameras and some holding lights. The lights are very bright. Looking back, I thought, there must be several distinguished guests sitting on this plane. Before I knew it, all these people came at me. Well, I'm still in a daze. A dozen microphones stretched out and asked questions one by one. I don't know who to listen to or how to answer them. Far away, I only glanced at my mom and dad, and they were pushed out by the crowd. I was also "framed" by two guards to the guard room, but the customs failed and I had to take the back door.
