the Chinese women's volleyball team regrouped in Beijing this week to start the second phase of this year's training. Coach Lang Ping recently confirmed that her idea of quitting the front-line coaching in volleyball after the Tokyo Olympic Games has not changed. Lang Ping originally signed a work contract with the Chinese Volleyball Association that will end after the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Due to the epidemic, the Olympic Games were postponed for one year, and Lang Ping's contract has been extended for another year.

at the beginning of February this year, the Chinese women's volleyball team began to carry out closed training in the Training Bureau of the State General Administration of sports. In order to alleviate the physical and mental fatigue caused by the long-term closed training, the team took a short vacation adjustment in June. From this week, the Chinese women's volleyball team entered the Training Bureau of the State General Administration of sports again to start the second stage of closed training. According to the introduction of the Chinese women's volleyball team coach team, the Chinese women's volleyball team that was concentrated again was compared with the previous training There won't be much change, but there are some "new faces". This also means that when the team formation system has matured, training new people is still a work arrangement that Lang Ping will not give up on his schedule

In this training session, setter Sun Yan and free agent Ni are especially noteworthy young players. In particular, Sun Yan, a "post-00s" player, has been selected into the national team in the past and participated in the Swiss women's volleyball elite and the world women's Volleyball League. He is a young player with great potential in Lang Ping's view. It is understood that the preliminary plan for this training of the Chinese women's volleyball team will last until September. Then, according to the situation of domestic epidemic prevention and control, the coaching team will consult the Chinese Volleyball Association about the schedule of the Chinese women's Volleyball League from 2020 to 2021, and end the training before the beginning of the league, so that the national players can return to their respective clubs to prepare for the League

Lang Ping's original contract with the Chinese Volleyball Association was to end after the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Due to the epidemic, the Olympic Games were postponed for one year, and Lang Ping's contract was extended for another year. In an interview a few days ago, Lang Ping confirmed that the Tokyo Olympic Games is the node for him to withdraw from the front-line coaching in volleyball, and this idea has not changed. In April, 2013, Lang Ping took charge of the Chinese women's volleyball team for the second time in his coaching career. Two years later, she led the team to win the women's Volleyball World Cup in Japan, making the Chinese women's volleyball team the world champion podium again after 11 years. At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the Olympic gold medal again after 12 years. At last year's women's Volleyball World Cup, the Chinese team successfully defended its title with a perfect 11 consecutive wins

In the two Olympic cycles of coaching the Chinese women's volleyball team, Lang Ping led the team to glory, but on her schedule, there are still many goals to be achieved in the last year. It goes without saying that Lang Ping will not give up on training new people and coaches to compete for the gold medal of the Tokyo Olympic Games. She once revealed that there were eight young coaches in the team, and she handed over the whole training plan and competition plan to them for implementation, and then she would check and make comments by herself. For the sustainable development of Chinese women's volleyball team, it is not only necessary to have a sustainable reserve of players, but also a reserve of coaches
