Chen, Chia-Ling as a Coach
Coaching Philosophy
Each weightlifter undergoes different training every day because each of them has different abilities and skills. Ms. Chen accompanies all the athletes in training every day, and she thinks that her company doesn't just prevent them from getting hurt, she also learns from those weightlifters every day. Ms. Chen adjusts the abilities of each player and the skills that can be used. Every day, every weightlifter is asked to write his / her own training log recording his/ her training feelings and moods. Ms. Chen reads every log carefully, pays attention to the daily physical condition of each weightlifter ,and she may write or tell them on the spot how to train better. If a weightlifter is not in a good physical condition, she would not force him / her to finish the training of the day. Ms. Chen considers that the schedule should be flexible and should be adjusted according to every weightlifter's condition.
Most Unforgettable Coaching Experiencing
Ms. Chen builds a strong bond with her team. Her players trusts her very much. Ms. Chen told us how much the weightlifter, WANG,LING-CHEN trusted her in a competition by telling us the story happened in 2021 National Games, and it was Ms. Chen's most unforgettable coaching experience. Ms. Chen said that Wang trusted her so much that Wang didn't ask about the weight that she was about to lift at that game. Wang believed that the coach knew what she was capable of and would make the best arrangements for her. Not until the end of all her lifts did Wang know that she broke the records.
Expectation
" Because these young athletes are the first group of weightlifters in Taoyuan, I hope they can win more prizes on the National Games this year for our city. Judging from the recent training situation, I think that they have a good chance of winning this year.
My other expectation is hoping this Workout Base can attract more people who like fitness and weightlifting. Hope more people know weightlifting and love weightlifting."-- Ms. Chen.
(Note: This interview was before the National Games. They won 1 gold and 2 bronzes. Wang Ling-Chen's Snatch broke the national record for young women. The sum of her snatch and clean & jerk set a new record for the game. )
