Chinanews.com client, September 7th. Li Mu, the former coach of Beijing Men's Volleyball Team, recently expressed his views on the development status of China's volleyball youth training system at the China "Three Big Balls" Development Forum at the China International Service Trade Fair.
He said that campus volleyball, especially college volleyball, is a gold mine to be developed for the selection of professional athletes.
Li Mu pointed out that the current domestic volleyball youth training system is divided into two systems from the second level-the professional team system and the school system, and the two are not compatible.
Professional teams follow their own training system, and youth teams-adult teams-national teams-retired and re-employed.
The student players study, live, train, and compete in school until they graduate from college.
Li Mu said that from a national perspective, the development of volleyball youth training in various provinces and autonomous regions is not balanced. Shandong and Jiangsu are the provinces with relatively good development and delivery of volleyball youth training.
In some provinces, volleyball youth training is also very good, but the purpose of student players playing volleyball is to gain access to better schools, and they are not very interested in entering professional teams.
In Li Mu's view, there are several reasons for this situation: First, the elimination rate of professional team players is relatively high during the growth process. Once eliminated halfway, it is more difficult to return to school to continue their studies; secondly, entering from junior high school The cultural learning after the professional teams is not systematic and out of touch with the school education system, and the channels for re-employment after retirement are narrow; and, the salaries of professional volleyball teams in various provinces and cities are generally not high and their attractiveness is insufficient.
Li Mu said that the development model of volleyball in countries such as Japan and the United States is worth learning.
"The common feature of the American and Japanese volleyball youth training systems is that they do not have an independent professional team training system. All volleyball development training is carried out in schools." Why can there be an endless stream of talents in this way?
Li Mu said that there are many reasons why the United States and Japan continue to attract talents to engage in volleyball.
For example, there is a good incentive mechanism, so that students can not only get scholarships, reduce the financial pressure on the family, but also get the opportunity to go to better schools.
And “adolescent player players in the school for cultural lessons and volleyball training, grasping with both hands, neither hand is wrong”
In addition, a large number of high-level coaches teach in the school, and the school's high-quality training and competition levels allow players to continuously improve and improve.
The attractiveness of professional club treatment is also the driving force that gives student players the motivation to train hard and sign better club contracts.
More importantly, students can choose between professional volleyball and social employment after graduation.
Scientific and reasonable competition training arrangements also prevent players from overdrawing their sports enthusiasm and sports potential.
In Li Mu's view, campus volleyball, especially college volleyball, is a gold mine to be developed for professional teams.
In China, the compatibility of the two youth training systems is also a successful example.
Li Mu, for example, said that Shanghai Men's Volleyball player Wu Pengzhi was a student of Beijing Jiaotong University before he was seconded to the Beijing Youth Team to participate in the National Games.
After graduation, Wu Pengzhi chose to join the Shanghai Men's Volleyball Team. As an absolute main force, he won the Volleyball League and National Games Men's Volleyball Championship, and was selected for the national team.
Li Mu said that volleyball has its own characteristics. As a sport, the development must keep pace with the times and keep up with the times. A topic related to the development of volleyball and also to the development of sports in China." (End)
