Lin Na

At 37-year's of age Mrs Lin Na has plenty of experience to give to her charges as they prepare for the 2003 Girls' U18 World CHampionship.

She was a Volleyball player in the Chinese Army from 1989 to 1997 and has been the assistant coach of the same team since 1997 before becoming the head coach of the national youth girls team in 2002.

Success was almost immediate with a gold medal in the Asian Championship in 2003 and like their senior side, who conquered all at the 2003 World Grand Prix, Lin Na will have this youth girls' team ready to be another dominant force in Poland.
