It is understood that Ding Xia's test score reached 86.3, ranking first among all the contestants. In fact, based on Ding Xia's professional resume and personal performance, it is almost certain whether she will take up her post immediately or continue to stick to her career as an athlete through the interview. Ding Xia can get this opportunity, which has a lot to do with her former teammate Wang, who is currently the general manager of Liaoning Women's Volleyball Team. It was under her matchmaking that Ding Xia decided to apply for the coach.
It is worth mentioning that there was a conflict between Wang and Ding Xia four years ago. At that time, the national audience was watching, which caused great controversy. Now Wang has actively recommended Ding Xia to apply for the position of coach, which shows that she is really as generous and enthusiastic as rumored, and the two should have made up in private, otherwise it is impossible to continue working together in the club for several years. If Ding Xia gets the coaching certificate, he may start from the Liaoning women's volleyball coaching team and gradually develop into a teaching assistant and head coach. Judging from the current situation, the salary of teaching assistants is about 200,000 yuan per year, which will greatly reduce Ding Xia's income compared with the player era.
Of course, Ding Xia is 32 years old and his career is unlikely to last long. It is estimated that in two or three years, she will bid farewell to the competition. Due to the special cycle of the Paris Olympic Games, affected by the epidemic, athletes only have three years to prepare for the war, but it also gives some veterans hope. As the captain of China women's volleyball team, Ding Xia experienced ups and downs during the Paris Olympic Games. Especially before the Olympic Games last summer, her overall performance was poor. She went to Japan as a substitute and didn't contribute too many wonderful shots.
Therefore, in the next two years or so, Ding Xia will definitely be more strict with herself, hoping to get a chance to compete in the Olympic Games again, but if she can't fulfill her dream, she may retire early. Previously, after Cai Bin became the head coach of China women's volleyball team, he began to select players through the talent pool. In this training list, Ding Xia is the oldest. It can be seen that Cai Bin's coaching philosophy is "younger", which is also in line with the reality that China women's volleyball team needs to be updated urgently. A veteran like Ding Xia is likely to miss the competition list unless he maintains an excellent competitive state. Ding Xia's choice to apply for a coach should also be preparing for the future.
