How does Zhu Ting evaluate playing abroad?

"Welcome Zhu Ting home, thank you for your hard work!" Many fans who picked up the airport held banners with this slogan and handed Zhu Ting bouquets as soon as she appeared. On May 1, Zhu Ting, the main attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team, returned to Beijing after completing her Turkish league journey and was enthusiastically welcomed by fans. After studying abroad for more than 7 months, Zhu Ting admitted that she has improved in all aspects, "Not only in technology, but also in psychology, language, physical fitness and other aspects. I feel that I am becoming more and more mature."

One week ago , Zhu Ting won the UEFA Champions League championship with the Turkish Vakif Bank Women's Volleyball Team, and she was awarded the tournament's Most Valuable Player. "This is an affirmation of my hard work. However, looking back on the entire season, I also had some bad times." Talking about her first time studying abroad, Zhu Ting talked about it, "When I first arrived in Turkey, I was very excited about that. The training schedule is not suitable for me. The team often practices until eight or nine in the evening, and I have to cook and wash dishes after I go home. This is completely different from my previous training life, and it has improved my time management skills."

Zhu Ting also mentioned that her cooperation with the whole team also required a process at first. "After all, we have never cooperated before, and the language communication was not smooth enough." For this reason, she taught herself foreign languages, starting with "jumping words" Taking the initiative to communicate with coaches and teammates, "Later, I basically had no problem speaking volleyball terminology in English, and I gradually integrated into the entire team."

When asked which aspect made the most progress, Zhu Ting believed It’s physical fitness. “In the past, when I played in domestic leagues, I couldn’t hold the ball for 20 games in a single season. This time I played more than 40 games overseas, but I didn’t feel tired. This is thanks to the team’s scientific and orderly strength training. My body has become stronger and my physical condition has been improved.”

“Playing abroad has broadened my horizons. There are many famous players in Europe. I told myself to learn more from others and absorb their advantages. Become stronger," Zhu Ting concluded. As for whether she will continue to study abroad next season, she said: "If conditions permit, I still hope to go out and continue to improve myself."
