On June 14, former volleyball beauty queen Pham Thi Yen and her husband held a wedding in their hometown. They maintained their relationship for a long time before getting married. Pham Thi Yen and her husband have accompanied and shared the difficulties in life together. In particular, as Pham Thi Yen said, she can truly be herself when being with the man she chooses.
Talking to Lao Dong reporter, the "volleyball beauty queen" once admitted that she is a very strong, independent, and decisive type of woman. According to Pham Thi Yen, most female athletes are very strong, even stronger than men.
Pham Thi Yen grew up in a military environment, with discipline, order, training schedules or living schedules all at the right time.
Pham Thi Yen said: For all athletes in general, when playing at the highest level, we have been away from home since we were young, and our independence is very high. The disciplined and harsh training process has trained us to become strong, strong, and decisive.
Discipline at work in eating deep into the blood of athletes. The profession has created people, created our personality. Female athletes will lack feminity and softness. Like hitting a ball, whether you hit or not hit - you have to decide very quickly.
When women are too strong and decisive, it will make men feel... cautious. Not every man is ready to date or marry a woman who is too strong, decisive, and always wants to decide on important issues in life.
In addition, outstanding height was also... Pham Thi Yen's self-consciousness. Even at my height, I was very shy. I was afraid to go out, because at that time there were very few people as tall as me. Later, I had to learn to get used to it, not being too influenced by height".
When asked about the man who made Pham Thi Yen happy, the former volleyball player said: "I am a very strong person. Rarely show weakness. I have grown up in the military environment. I am very strict with myself, my life or practice schedule is arranged, strictly implemented, and I am strict... So maybe, I will also be strict with others. So I think, men must be very brave when loving women who play sports.
They will have to sympathize, understand, and share a lot. Men must understand what women who are too strong will need, so that they know what they should do to maintain their emotions and balance the relationship".
Pham Thi Yen was born in 1985, the golden generation of Vietnamese volleyball in the period of 2005 - 2015. The female athlete has traveled to many domestic arenas, together with Bui Thi Hue forming a pair of " shooters" in the national team.
After retiring from competition, former volleyball beauty queen Pham Thi Yen switched to coaching since 2016, becoming the assistant coach of the Information Command team (now the Information Corps).
