Serving Abroad: Better Not To Go
Nowadays some Chinese top athletes including some world champions have chosen to pursue their career abroad after retiring from national team. This has provoked quite a bit of controversy. Some people have strong objections to their behavior, which is believed to have harmed China’s advantages over foreign competitors. And others maintain that these people possess their own tree will about the decisions of future life. In my opinion, the disadvantages of these phenomena have outweighed the advantages.
First of all, the outflow of these outstanding athletes will directly lead to the loss of elites and techniques, which is very harmful for Chinese sports development. Coaches with ample and enviable experiences are valuable resources for our country. If we cannot keep them, their service for foreign teams will pose significant threats to us. The famous volleyball player and previous coach of our national team, Lang Ping is a good example in this sense. Around 1999, she left for Italy retirement, and got employed by one of the top clubs there. Since then the performance of that team soared up out of many experts’ expectation. In 2004 Olympic Games, another example can be found with the Australian volleyball team as a dark horse. The brilliant performance of the team was evidently attributable to the two former Chinese coaches.
Secondly, everyone should contribute to the prosperity of their home country and top athletes are no exceptions. It is true that they have devoted their childhood and youth to the tedious and strict training and cut-throat competition, yet it is equally true that the continuous development ot sports needs their rich experiences and hard-won skills. Thus there is no reason that they should leave aside the needs of our motherland and serve foreign countries.
Thirdly, as a side effect of economic development, more and more people have become money-oriented and self-centered. If these outstanding players just go abroad for the pursuit of money, a bad example might be set for younger athletes who lack experience and desire to succeed in the future. Without a reasonable appreciation for sports career, these young people could not live up to expectations of the nation and people and work for continued boom of the country’s sports. Under Chinese system, professional athletes are to a great extent supported by the state. Consequently the patrons are entitled to have a say for the beneficiary’s future p1an.
In conclusion, I am strongly against the phenomena of athletes’ outflow. To repay the cultivation and trust from our nation, they should devote themselves into training young athletes.
