Xi’an News.com “We only set one goal before the game, and that is to win the championship. Today we did it!” At noon on the 20th, the girls of the Shaanxi team who had just finished the 20-kilometer women’s team walk could not care about wiping the sweat on their faces. , Embracing each other excitedly to celebrate.
In the competition, from leading all the way to being a great rider, and then to a blockbuster, the Shaanxi Women’s Race Walking Team welcomed the Shaanxi delegation’s track and field competition with a gold medal.
Champion coaches build a champion team
“Without Coach Jiang, we wouldn’t be where we are today. She is our Bole, and even our mentor and helpful friend!” Ma Li, a member of the team after winning the championship, said truthfully. The coach Jiang mentioned by Ma Li is the associate professor of Xi’an Institute of Physical Education and the head coach of China Race Walking School Jiang Qiuyan. She has won two consecutive World University Games women’s 20-kilometer walking champions, World Cup runner-ups, Asian Athletics Championships women’s 20-kilometer walking champions, and national race walking champions. In the nearly ten years of coaching career after retiring, Jiang Qiuyan and her team members practiced three-nine and three-nines in winter, and sent dozens of outstanding athletes to the National Walking Team and the National Winter Sports Management Center, and trained nearly 100 young athletes across the country. Won the top three in the international (domestic) adult group and youth competition many times.
On the eve of the Fourteenth National Games, Jiang Qiuyan led 13 athletes who were shortlisted for the Fourteenth National Games for a three-month training on the Yuzhong Plateau in Lanzhou to prepare for the National Games. The local altitude is over 1,980 meters, which is a test for athletes and coaches.
“We must train at least 20 kilometers for the youth group for 10 kilometers competition, and for the adult group for 20 kilometers competition, the training time should be more than 30 kilometers.” High-intensity scientific training allows the players to make rapid progress.
Strict discipline has created the “iron army” of race walking
The training results of the Shaanxi team were well tested in the team finals. In more than an hour of competition, the Shaanxi team’s youth group and adult group members were always in the first phalanx, and the sprint phase of the second half of the game was faster than the other teams as a whole. Over 1 minute. Statistics show that Shaanxi accounted for 3 of the top 9 players in the youth group, and Shaanxi accounted for 4 of the top 6 in the adult group.
In fact, for a long-distance aerobic exercise, on the one hand, fighting is physical training, on the other hand, fighting is willpower. In this regard, Jiang Qiuyan is very knowledgeable. In the face of younger young athletes, she always sets up the guiding ideology of “giving skills and rationality” to them, not only to grant children skills, but also to care for them from life and teach them to be human.
“In private, we become one, as long as we step on the training ground, all actions follow the command. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persist to the end, and you must not give up halfway, even if you are the last one.” Strict discipline and scientific training have created it. It has created the iron will of the Shaanxi women’s race walking, and this women’s “iron army” will also plan a more ambitious goal: to show its ambitions in the international arena and win more international championships and even Olympic champions.
