There's a lot of good news about Chinese volleyball player Zhu Ting.
She was named as the Most Valuable Volleyball Player of the China Volleyball Association for the 2019-2020 season. At the same time, readers can find her story in a children's book When I Grow Up-Sports Heroes. A British publishing house（出版社）published the book. It's about how children become sports superstars. Those superstars include LeBron James and Lionel Messi.
Zhu Ting now plays for the Tianjin Bohai Bank Women's Volleyball Club. Last season, she helped Tianjin win its 12th top league title(联赛冠军). She is also the captain（队长）of China's women's national volleyball team. When she first joined the national team, the 1.98-meter-tall girl found it difficult to move quickly because she was so tall. But head coach Lang Ping trained her to jump high and spike the ball（扣球）. Since then, the fighting spirit of the national team has inspired（激励）her. After hard practice, she became a great spiker.
She used to play volleyball in Turkey and she improved her English there. When she arrived there, she couldn't speak English well and needed help. But she kept practicing English after her training. After three months, she could easily talk with her teammates in English.
