From the old story of volleyball master

Coach Luong Khuong Thuong, a great Vietnamese women's volleyball strategist from many decades ago, once shared an interesting story as follows.

During the training sessions to prepare for competitions or important training periods, Mr. Thuong often has the habit of checking the athletes' rooms.

Many times, when he saw the bed in the room covered with blankets and a mess underneath, he knew right away that the female students were playing tricks by stuffing blankets and pillows underneath and... sneaking out to play.

The first and second times, Mr. Thuong and the coaching staff still blamed him. But after listening to his students crying and explaining, the old coach could only... sigh.

Gradually, Mr. Thuong was no longer too strict. Every time he encountered such a situation, he gently analyzed it for the female athletes to understand that although physiological matters were not too abstinent, in certain stages they should still stay focused.

"Actually, as a male coach, training female athletes also has many inconveniences. We cannot fully understand their needs. Secondly, tall, strong athletes certainly have more needs than normal people, and it is not good to prevent them," Mr. Thuong once shared this with us, with a chuckle, but also with the open attitude of an experienced, worldly coach.

Physiological needs have long been a sensitive topic in the sports world, especially for women - who are always subject to more or less strict social views.

Don't be discouraged.

Meanwhile, Western sports scientists have long sought answers to this "difficult to say" story of female volleyball players.

According to the British Journal of Psychology , women's height is often influenced by growth hormone and estrogen. And high estrogen levels affect physiological functions, creating sexual desire.

Female athletes who are in good health, have balanced hormones and are physically fit - also according to the British Journal of Psychology - often have higher than average sex drives.

On the other hand, female athletes who are psychologically inhibited for a long time will experience increased stress, anxiety, irritability, or decreased excitement during competition.

On the other hand, Dr. Gerald Zavorsky said that prolonged sexual inhibition can disrupt the menstrual cycle, reduce the secretion of estrogen and progesterone - two important hormones that regulate emotions, bone health and physiology.

The effects of over-inhibition are often not immediate, but long-lasting and get worse over time. So it is a problem that is not easily recognized, especially in women's teams led by male coaches.

But on the other hand, being too indulgent in sex can sometimes lead to other problems of losing control. Dr. Zavorsky advises that if female athletes, for some reason, are not able to satisfy their physiological needs for a long time, they can practice meditation or yoga to regulate their bodies.
