Research On The Structural And Process Adjustment Of China Women’s National Volleyball Team During The Olympic Cycle

Whether China Women’s National Volleyball Team can achieve the general goal ofwinning one of the first three places while struggling for the gold medal set by ChinaVolleyball Association in2012London Olympics depends on the structural and progressadjustment during the new Olympic cycle.This paper, by means of expert interviewing, documentation method, observationalmethod, mathematical statistic method as well as method of comparative analysis andother scientific methods, discusses the line-up arrangement and adjustment as well aswhether or not the adjustment of the physical state and playing condition of the playersis reasonable and scientific. Then this paper puts forward feasible suggestionsaccordingly in attempt to provide theoretical basis for the victories of this team ininternational games. The following conclusions are drawn through our research:1. The structural adjustment is a process that draws much concern. After BeijingOlympics in2008, the line-up of this team was changed. Several old and experiencedplayers were called back, new players joined in and the head coach was replaced, all ofwhich attracted concerns of the Chinese people.2.The structural adjustment is a process with trials and errors. This processinvolved the joint efforts from both the head coach and the players. The change of theposition of Wang Yimei, the comeback of the old players of Zhang Lei and Zhang Xianand the arrangement of the rookie of Yang Junjing made the structure of this teamchange gradually with difficulty through repeated trials and errors.3.The structural adjustment is a process that emphasizes reflection and errorcorrection. The team analyses the structures of the ages, hometowns and experiences of the players. In2010, the link between old and young player doesn’t work well but goesvery smoothly in2011and2012, best in2011.4.The structural adjustment is a process that perfects itself step by step. The teamestablishes the core system with Yu Jumin as the head coach, Wei Qiuyue as the coresetter, Wang Yimei and Hui Ruoqi as the offense focus. Meanwhile, Zhang Lei, theassistant setter’s stable first passes and running offense, Ma Yunwen and Yang Junjing’ sfast attacks and Zhang Xian, the libero’ s effective saves and first passes all make theadjusting process more reasonable.5.The structural adjustment is a process that needs struggles. During this Olympiccycle, the injuries of the leading players is a difficult problem for the head coach tohandle because this team needs not only the struggling spirits featured by the formerwomen volleyball team, but also a managing team to train the volleyball teamscientifically as well as human-based management to overcome all kinds of difficulties.
