Zhu Hangting, the new star of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, was born in Tieli, Heilongjiang, and currently plays for the Tianjin women's volleyball team, which has attracted the attention of many volleyball fans. With a height of 1.87 meters, she has a clear advantage, and her passing skills are even more impressive. In the upcoming U20 Asian Championships, Zhu Hangting will show his talent on a bigger stage for the first time.
Zhu Hangting's volleyball journey originated in her hometown of Tieli, Heilongjiang, a small town that is not well-known. In Tieli No. 1 Middle School, she quickly stood out in the school team due to her outstanding height and talent. In many national competitions of the school team, Zhu Hangting not only led the team to win the championship, but also won the title of "master passer" for his stable performance.
As she honed her skills, she also realized that she was lacking in speed. After transferring to the Tianjin women's volleyball team, Zhu Hangting's training became more systematic and professional. Against higher-level opponents and teammates, she felt the pressure and saw the gaps.
Although her passing is accurate, the speed of her passing often affects the speed of execution of her tactics, which is a significant disadvantage in high-speed and volatile games. Improving her passing speed became a key focus in her training. Zhu began to participate in more strength and reaction speed training, including but not limited to sprinting, agility training, and specific passing training.
Her daily training begins at 6 a.m. with a two-hour physical session, followed by specialized technical training, and in the afternoon she conducts tactical simulations and teamwork exercises. Every night, she also spends time watching footage of her game, analysing the angle, pace and timing of each pass to see room for improvement.
Under the guidance of the coach, Zhu Hangting tried to adjust his passing posture and power distribution to make the pass more rapid and direct. She keeps trying and making mistakes in training, and every failure is a direct feedback on her technical adjustments. She has also learned how to adjust her mindset in high-pressure situations, stay calm and make sure she can perform at her best when it matters most.
With the passage of time, Zhu Hangting's passing speed has improved significantly, which has also made her status in the team gradually rise. Teammates are starting to trust her passes more, and the coaching staff is giving more recognition. In training and in smaller events, she is increasingly able to adapt quickly to the pace of the game and accurately get the ball to the best position.
In a training match within the team, Zhu Hangting's performance was particularly good. Not only did she manage to score with multiple assists, but she also helped her team turn the score around with a quick setter at a crucial moment in the game. After the game, the coach praised her progress in particular, and her teammates surrounded her to share the joy of victory.
Such progress and recognition have brought more self-confidence to Zhu Hangting. She knows she still has a long way to go, but every effort and progress has brought her one step closer to her dream. With the U20 Asian Championship approaching, she trains harder, hoping to show her ability on a bigger stage and contribute to the team.
This Asian Championships is not only a big test of Zhu Hangting's personal skills, but also an important springboard for her career. Both she and her coach knew that her performance in this tournament would greatly affect her future volleyball path. Zhu Hangting is well prepared and just waits for the day of the competition to prove his ability to the world.
