Such a player can play on the court and win the championship; A woman volleyball expert who can teach well off the court must be a legend! As a volleyball teacher in Lang Ping, Yuan Weimin was repeatedly mentioned as a "mentor" by Lang Ping himself in public.
Yuan Weimin's life had a profound influence on the development of China women's volleyball team. Not only that, he also has a pivotal position in China's "sports world".
First, "Iron Blood" coach-Yuan Weiping
As the former director of the State Sports General Administration, Yuan Weimin's life is closely related to sports in China.
1, free growth
1939 On July 8th, Yuan Weimin was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. His birth brought a lot of joy to the Yuan family. Yuan Weimin's father is an honest farmer. Although he doesn't like to talk, he loves his children from the bottom of his heart. Yuan's mother is a loving mother with a calm and strong personality. Mr. and Mrs. Yuan have six children, and Yuan Weimin is the youngest. It can be said that Yuan Weimin grew up under the care of his parents, brothers and sisters.
Even the youngest child, Yuan Weimin does everything himself and never borrows others' hands. Although Yuan's parents are educated people, they are reasonable. They understand that only by studying hard can children put down their hoes and live a good life. So Yuan's children can play with Huaner as long as they finish their homework well. In this case, Yuan Weimin had a carefree childhood. He attended the best school in Suzhou from primary school to high school.
After that, Yuan Weimin entered Nanjing Institute of Physical Education and became attached to volleyball. 1958 Yuan Weimin was selected for Jiangsu Men's Volleyball Team. Because he played volleyball very well and was very talented, he was selected for the national men's volleyball team four years later. In this way, Yuan Weimin stayed in the men's volleyball team for 12 years until he retired in 1974.
2. Yuan Weiping: the leader of China women's volleyball team from "zero" to "three consecutive championships"
After retiring, Yuan Weimin didn't leave volleyball. After retiring, he became the head coach of China Women's Volleyball Team. At this time, although Yuan Weimin couldn't compete for the championship, every medal won by China women's volleyball team during his coaching period was half of his credit.
Yuan Weimin, who became the head coach of the women's volleyball team, is a real "iron-blooded" coach. It is because of his hard training, hard training and daring to practice that the brilliant achievements of China women's volleyball team have been achieved. When Yuan Weimin took over the China Women's Volleyball Team, the record of the women's volleyball team could be summarized as "0", which was really nothing! But five years later, China women's volleyball team ascended the world champion throne and won the championship again, achieving "three consecutive championships"!
During the eight years from 1976 to 1984, coach Yuan led China women's volleyball team to participate in hundreds of competitions around the world. Under his leadership, the winning percentage of China women's volleyball team has been greatly improved. Among many competitions, the most striking one is that coach Yuan led the girls of China women's volleyball team to beat the Japanese team by 198 1.
At that time, China women's volleyball team was a rookie, not strong in the world women's volleyball team, and was not favored by everyone. The game that excites all Japanese people is the third volleyball World Cup held in China. Because of the historical factors in the past, almost all Japanese people have unspeakable feelings for Japan as a country and people!
In this World Cup, the young China women's volleyball team successfully reached the final with six wins, and the final opponent was the Japanese team that won six world championships. At that time, the Japanese women's volleyball team was much better than us in both experience and record. Even the head coach of the Japanese team told Yuan Weimin a joke similar to "winning". In the face of the strong provocation, Yuan Weimin looked serious and said nothing. He hoped that China Women's Volleyball Team would speak with its strength and show its attitude with its achievements.
After the competition started, the morale of China women's volleyball team was high and won the first two rounds. And according to the competition system at that time, the champion basically belongs to our China team. However, the Japanese team did not seem to admit defeat and recovered two games in a row. Yuan Weimin saw this and called a pause on the spot. He said something to his team members that they will never forget: "Don't think you won the world championship, but if you lose this game, you will be cooking uncooked rice or adding a tail." In other words, even though I won the trophy, I still lost to the Japanese team. Winning is not comfortable.
After listening to the coach's urging, the women's volleyball players came home like tigers. Chen Yaqiong saved the ball with one hand and regained the right to serve. Lang Ping's 4th position was repeatedly dunked, and China won! We won fair and square, and the champion won easily From then on, China women's volleyball team won five consecutive championships from 198 1 to 1986!
At that time, China was in a backward stage in economic strength and scientific and technological development. At this time, the people of China and China urgently need a champion to prove to the world that China can! The Chinese nation can! The people of China can! Especially in the face of the Japanese team, the enemy from Japan, we can't lose!
Therefore, when China women's volleyball team stood on the podium, the whole country was jubilant, people in front of the TV cheered and even many people took to the streets to celebrate excitedly.
Second, from "sports" to "politics", what has changed is the stadium, and what remains unchanged is the style.
Yuan Weiping, who led the women's volleyball team to the podium many times, has become the ace volleyball coach in the hearts of Chinese people. But coach Yuan's contribution to the development of sports in China goes far beyond this.
1, coach Yuan who is still in the audience.
From 65438 to 0992, Yuan Weimin became the president of China Football Association, and began his political journey. In the following years, he was elected president of Asian Volleyball Federation and director of International Volleyball Federation. In 2000, Yuan Weimin was appointed director of the State Sports General Administration. This fully shows that he has won the trust of the organization and is worthy of great responsibility. Four years later, Yuan Weimin, 65, officially retired.
This coach Yuan, who has worked hard for China sports all his life inside and outside the stadium, can finally start his old age in back in the game. After retirement, he returned to Suzhou and his alma mater. He also wrote an inscription to celebrate the new gymnasium of Suzhou Middle School. This shows that Yuan Weimin's heart is still in his favorite sports career.
2. Yuan's hobby.
Yuan Weimin at work is conscientious and meticulous. Yuan Weimin in life is lovely and reveals rigor. Who would have thought that coach Yuan, who is out-and-out on the field, likes to do housework at home. Yuan Weimin has three hobbies: calligraphy, newspaper clippings and housework.
Yuan Weimin has many newspaper clippings with all kinds of news reports that he thinks are important. Whether it is an international competition or a sports anecdote, he will cut it out and post it in different categories. After work, he will go home to help his wife do some housework. Yuan Weimin also likes recycling. When friends come, he will show them around and tell them how he did it.
Maybe the pressure of sports competition is great. Yuan Weimin used to be an old smoker. Later, because I fainted once abroad, I gave up smoking once according to the doctor's advice. This shows that there is determination.
Now Mr. Yuan Weimin, who is over 80 years old, is still in good health and likes sports. Whenever a younger generation comes to visit him, he will smile and encourage the younger generation to work hard, and there is obvious goodwill in his words.
