“No matter what happens, the team is always prepared and has never relaxed its requirements.” Recently, the Chinese badminton team’s doubles coach Zhang Jun and singles coach Xia Xuanze reviewed Guoyu’s 2020 in an interview with reporters. In the absence of international competitions this year, Guoyu started from the reality of preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, and through measures such as strengthening ideological construction, strengthening physical fitness, polishing skills and tactics, and increasing opportunities for domestic competitions, Guoyu has “honed the mind and cultivated internal skills” to achieve overall improvement. The combat effectiveness of the team.
In 2020, epidemic prevention and control has become a prerequisite for Guoyu to carry out various tasks. In February 2020, in order to actively prepare for the Olympic Games, taking into account the epidemic prevention and control and training competitions, Guoyu conducted a personnel diversion. Part of the personnel went to Qinhuangdao base for isolation training, and another part of the personnel went to the UK for overseas training. In March, after participating in the Full England Open, the Guoyu team returned to Chengdu Shuangliu training base safely. From Chengdu, Sichuan to Beijing and then to Lingshui, Hainan, the Chinese badminton team has successfully completed multiple training transfers in 2020, and has always been strict in epidemic prevention and control.
There have been dozens of international badminton competitions in the past year, but in 2020, Guoyu had to conduct long-term closed training. Athletes would inevitably feel anxious and confused. Therefore, strengthening the ideological construction of sports teams has become a key task for Guoyu in 2020. In 2020, Guoyu will focus on the theme education of “Don’t forget the original heart, keep the mission in mind” and “The motherland is in my heart”. Activities will be organized during the “May 4th”, “July 1st” and “Eleventh” party and national major festivals. “The whole team unified its thinking on the training for preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, and comprehensively enhanced the cohesion and centripetal force of the team.” Xia Xuanze said, “Difficulties can sharpen the athletes’ aspirations. Our badminton team often wins in the past major competitions by winning key points. The competition is not only based on how good the skills and tactics are, but also depends on the will and quality of the players, and the’patriotic feelings’ in the chest.”
The Tokyo Olympics was postponed for one year. Guoyu has sorted out the previous preparations, including a careful summary and analysis of the poor results of the All England, to find out the shortcomings and study the winning rules. “The 2020 physical training is the top priority of the annual training preparation.” Zhang Jun pointed out. In 2020, Guoyu attaches great importance to physical training, assigns a special person to be responsible for the overall planning of the team’s physical training, and tailors individual unique special plans according to the different technical and tactical needs of each group. Increase the tendency of physical training in daily training, increase the weekly physical training class hours and the total weekly physical training time. In order to strengthen the players’ enthusiasm for physical training, special venues and resistance training such as rope ladders, flag buckets, sand pits, and yoyo runs are added. At the same time, increase the number of middle and long-distance running training in an orderly manner, strengthen the endurance of the players, and temper their consciousness. “The players’ physical fitness has been improving, and their physical test results have been improving.” Zhang Jun expressed satisfaction with the effect of strengthening physical training.
Speaking of the closed training camp for more than half a year, Zhang Jun said frankly that this kind of experience has made the Guoyu team members return to the days when they were training in sports schools day after day when they were young and eager to compete. However, through systematic training, the players have different levels of training. progress. “The training of the core players is normal, the injury is well controlled, the doubles combination strength has also improved, and the cooperation is more skilled.”
With the suspension of world badminton events, the China Badminton Association has successfully held nearly a hundred matches, simulation matches, badminton super leagues, and national championships in 2020, which has had a positive effect on the national badminton players to feel the atmosphere of the game and maintain their competitive state. . “The 2020 National Championships has many pioneering initiatives, with the largest number of participants, the largest number of matches, and the most varied scoring methods. From 21 points to 11 points, from 5 outs of 3 to 7 outs of 4, it is very important for athletes. Exercise value.” Zhang Jun took the national championship as an example. He believes that if he can, let the players play more games to help prepare for the Olympics.
Looking forward to 2021, Xia Xuanze said: “Now all the work is centered on preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. We will continue to practice internal skills and strengthen ourselves.” Zhang Jun pointed out that the team’s training results in 2020 will need to compete with foreign players to get real results. Test, in 2021, the whole team will continue to prepare seriously and go all out to win every gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. (Circle)
