There is no doubt that China women's basketball team has returned to the top teams in the world. However, the youth training system that has trained most players is experiencing "hidden worries in the prosperous times".
20021June 14, the organizing committee of Tai 'an Division of National Youth Basketball League (U 19) issued a notice: Sichuan Youth Women's Team, Shandong Youth Women's Team and Guangdong Youth Women's Team were "not ranked regardless of their scores" because the three teams had "less than eight applicants". Despite such objective factors, it is not appropriate to make over-interpretation, but it is shocking that the three teams, especially the young women from Shandong in the 20 13 and 20 17 National Games, failed to gather the required number of applicants.
A glimpse of the whole leopard: the women's basketball youth training has indeed encountered difficulties.
China women's basketball master Li Yuan is from Shandong Youth Team.
The difficulty of women's basketball has always existed, with low salary and low commercial value, but the risk of injury is not small at all ... These are the exceptions that women's basketball in the world and even in the United States can't reach, but this is relative to men's basketball. Vertically, some of the difficulties encountered by China women's basketball youth training in recent years were transmitted from the top, while others came from the impact of campus basketball. This paper focuses on the latter.
As we all know, the training of sports talents in China is a "two-track process", with the sports outlet (sports schools, youth training teams and professional clubs) and the education outlet (schools) as the first line. The two lines are roughly parallel, but there are also some intersections-CBA draft is a typical example, and the two lines can have limited communication through these intersections. When there are many overlapping points to a certain extent, there will be two lines, you have me and I have you, regardless of each other. This is the ultimate ideal form of the integration of sports and education.
At the earliest time, China's economy and education were relatively backward, and sports was the golden road to gain recognition within the system and reach the peak of life. Things are different now. You can give anything to sports and education, and the benefit/risk ratio is higher. The men's basketball team is fine. If you enter CBA, there is a high probability that you will enter another class. The women's basketball team is not. Even if you play WCBA, there is still a high probability that your salary is not as good as that of ordinary office workers in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This can be seen from the WCBA draft 1-5 that the minimum guaranteed wage is only 1.5 million yuan.
In the 20 19WCBA draft, Deng Ruijie was elected as the No.1 scholar.
Back to "the number of applicants is less than 8". Parents are reluctant to let their children sign up, because in this way, they will lose the qualification to fight in Cuba (Cuba does not allow athletes to sign up for the youth team before going to college), and the only institution they can choose is the Institute of Physical Education, which greatly limits their initiative and mobility in choosing a school. Some players will choose to follow the team and become "registered players", which will not delay training and competition, but also keep enough initiative and flexibility at the crossroads of fate.
Cuba also has its own concerns. There are limited schools that are qualified to form high-level sports teams, and the annual enrollment quota is also limited. If the restrictions on registered players are relaxed, will the living space of student players be reduced? Assuming that all schools compete for registered players-professional players are better than most student players, is it against the original intention of developing campus basketball?
Compared with the education entrance, the overall advantage of the sports entrance lies in the high level of coaches and better hardware and software facilities. Take Shandong Women's Youth Team as an example. Head coach An Guangting was the main defender of Shandong men's basketball team at the end of last century. After retiring, he has been deeply involved in sports. Wang Siyu and Ethan, the national team defenders of the two National Games, are the most praised "works" in his coaching career. He is now holding a group of players in Yantai for closed training to prepare for the National Games in September. According to him, the entire coaching staff and support team add up to more than a dozen people.

Even so, young women in Shandong still face difficulties such as registration. "Parents have to go to school, don't be too dead." An Guangting said that parents are unwilling to register their children, and he will not insist. But for some youth training teams, they have to train talents for the National Games and get education for the club. In the face of parents who are unwilling to sign up their children, they will be embarrassed: if they can't get on the first team for a long time, won't they become someone else's wedding clothes? This is a very realistic dilemma. Sometimes, in order to keep young talents, the youth training team can only give in.
"I am also running in with my parents. I can only take it one step at a time. " A club worker told me: "It's not that it's impossible to recruit, but it's really difficult."
Yes, it is best not to sign up, but the reality is that more and more parents are reluctant to let their children enter the professional team. Except for a few talented players, most parents will choose to sacrifice their children's sports potential and keep learning opportunities. If they choose one, they will choose the former. Feng Danlei, the head coach of the women's basketball team in Baotou No.33 Middle School, told me that many professional teams had gone to him to recruit students before. "But the children don't want to go, thinking about going to school first. If they have the opportunity to major again, they will learn from Shao Ting. "
Shao Ting, Ph.D. student of Beijing Normal University.
Shao Ting, captain of China women's basketball team, is also the best athlete trained by the education department so far. Her experience has proved to the world that top athletes can also train on campus. Shao Ting, Han Xu and Wu all grew up on the campus of China women's basketball team, and the new members of China men's basketball team are typical cases. The trend is obvious. The focus of basketball is shifting to the campus.
"Schools can basically play sports competitions, but sports competitions cannot play any educational competitions. There are many classes in the education center, and there are even opportunities for overseas exchange visits. There is no sports school and there are few classes. " A coach from a grass-roots sports school talked to me. He is pessimistic about the future of sports schools. "In the end, the sports school may be a shell, and the games are all played by students in education schools."
It stands to reason that the National Games is a grand gathering of sports professionals every four years, but some provinces with weak basketball can only organize teams with education professionals to participate. For example, the women's basketball team of Qinghai Normal University represents Qinghai, the women's basketball team of Baotou No.33 Middle School represents Inner Mongolia in the U 19 play-off, the women's basketball team of Yali Middle School represents Hunan in the final of U 19, and the women's basketball team of Beijing Normal University teamed up with the women's basketball team of Sichuan ... Even if it is a strong basketball province, such as Shandong, its young women's basketball team has to borrow people from Tsinghua High School. There were Han Xu and Liu Yutong in the last session, and
The ace of Beijing Normal University women's basketball team is in Liu Yutong.
The youth team is like this, and the grassroots sports schools that are closely related to it are also having a hard time.
Take Shandong as an example. There are only about 10 in the women's basketball schools at the provincial and municipal levels, not to mention the district-level sports schools. I haven't found the specific data about county-level sports schools, so I might as well take the situation in Henan Province as a reference. Zhang Xingchen of Henan University made statistics in the master thesis "Investigation on the Present Situation of County-level Amateur Sports Schools in Henan Province" on 20 16. At that time, there were 46 county-level amateur sports schools in Henan, two of which existed in name only, and the other 44 were mostly "centralized" schools, that is, athletes only trained in amateur sports schools, and their study, accommodation and meals were borne by primary and secondary schools and families.
The training mode of "one concentration" and "two concentration" widely adopted at the grassroots level is actually a successful experience of the integration of physical education and education. In this way, sports schools don't have to suffer from difficulties in enrolling students, and schools also get scarce sports resources, killing two birds with one stone.
As for those sports schools that are still operating normally, they also have their own significance. For example, Zhang Ziyu, a girl from Shandong who broke the internet some time ago, is the daughter of Yu Ying, a famous female basketball player in Shandong. /kloc-At the age of 0/4, she is over 2.20m tall and will soon surpass Yao Ming. She went to the middle school attached to Tsinghua University, and later returned to the sports entrance, because it might give full play to her value. She is the kind of gifted child mentioned above. Twenty days ago, she led Jinan Sports School to win the national U 15 women's basketball championship, and she herself won the MVP of the division.
Zhang Ziyu is with her classmates.
"She is not only tall, but also has a good brain and a big picture." Luan Mingjie, head coach of the women's basketball team of Jinan Sports School, said.
The female basketball players of Jinan Sports School will enter the national junior high school and the national youth league every year. Luan Mingjie also served as an assistant coach of women's basketball in U 15 national junior high school training camp in 2020, but enrollment has also become extremely difficult, and the scope can only be pushed further and further.
This is the most real living condition of sports mouth. Whether "the number of applicants is less than 8" means the crisis of China women's basketball reserve talents is unknown-after all, it will take a long time to verify, but another trend is very obvious.
A few days ago, the Shandong Provincial Department of Education and the Shandong Provincial Sports Bureau jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on the Management of Professional and Technical Positions of Sports Coaches in Primary and Secondary Schools in the Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Opinions"). Four red official seals were knocked on a white background, which was eye-catching and solemn.
Li Yuan led the national youth women's basketball team to win the 20 18 Asian Youth Championship.
The "Implementation Opinions" put forward that the school should create "professional and technical posts for sports coaches"-this is a completely different and brand-new "type of work" from physical education teachers. At the same time, support and encourage coaches of professional teams and sports schools at all levels to take part-time jobs in schools, "and receive remuneration according to regulations." Of course, there is the most striking thing. Article 10 "Intensifies the enrollment of retired athletes from provincial excellent sports teams", which in popular terms means to give resettlement measures to those outstanding athletes who meet the requirements.
It would be more interesting if the implementation opinions were put together with the Opinions on Further Reducing the Students' Homework Burden and Off-campus Training Burden in Compulsory Education (that is, the "Double Reduction" Opinions). The "Implementation Opinions" may not cause too many waves, but Feng Gang began at the end of Qing Ping, and the trend contained here is self-evident: the integration of sports and education, and "teaching" gradually includes "sports".
In junior high school, there are more and more "crossing points". The "Spark Cup" jointly organized by China Sports Association and chinese basketball association is a must-see competition for youth training and campus basketball lovers, and there may be a "Spark Cup" for women's basketball in the future. Chinese basketball association is opening up some indicators of the U series for educators to participate in. In the future, China Sports Association is still planning some "full coverage" events, covering secondary vocational schools (including sports schools) and private schools. In the further future, there may be a primary school basketball league, which will form a wrestling match with chinese basketball association's small basketball plan. ...
"If you can transfer, would you like to?" I asked a senior women's basketball coach in a sports school according to the Implementation Opinions.
"Of course." He said without thinking, "At school, there are more opportunities to evaluate Gao Zheng. My classmate has long been Gao Zheng and has a master's degree. "
