Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired (启发) a new English word- ZHUperb!
The word uses "Zhu" and "superb" to describe the 24 - year-old player's leadership skills.
This year, Zhu was named as one of the Top Global Outstanding Athletes by a famous award. As captain of the Chinese women's national volleyball team, Zhu has "created the new golden age of women's volleyball in China", the award said.
Although she's a superstar now, it hasn't been easy for Zhu to get where she is.
Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu went to a local sports school at age 13. Zhu got homesick during the first few months of training. But her father encouraged her, which helped her make progress.
She became well - known by helping China's U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20(世青赛) World Championship. Zhu joined the national team shortly afterward.
At first, the 1.98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But head coach Lang Ping took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and spike (扣球) the ball. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding spiker.
Today, Zhu sees her height as an advantage. And she still works hard during training. "Hard work and talent are both important. I'll move forward step by step, " she told People's Daily.
