The key keywords in the term of Kim Taek-soo (55), the new head of the Jincheon National Training Center, are "openness" and "autonomous." It is in line with the sports reform that the chairman of the Korean Sports Council, Yoo Seung Min, has put forward as a hot topic.

Jincheon Training Center, the cradle of elite sports and national team players' competitiveness, has been closed to athletes although its symbolism has been clear. As for athletes, outdated products that do not take into account individual sport characteristics such as blocking Wi-Fi in the training center and mandatory early morning training have continued. In addition, it was not an easy place for athletes and leaders, not sports officials or reporters visiting the sports association. It was a space equivalent to no access for the general public.
Yoo and Kim believed that such closed doors caused more unsavory accidents. This is why they decided to allow the leader's limited drinking space in the village, as well as to allow commuting and early morning training. In keeping with the stance, Kim also said he would open the closed door. Instead, he said he would communicate more with players and leaders to give them the dignity of a national team and create a culture of motivation. 먹튀검증

Chief Kim, who recently met at Jincheon Training Center, said, "I'm sure I'm leaving it to myself, so I'm doing better. I want to make sure I don't think the player is trapped. In today's world, players have to feel the meaning of the national flag on their chests and take responsibility to develop themselves. "It is not effective if forced to do so," he said. "All they have to do is increase the intensity of their training. Except for training, players are given rest however they want. Both players and leaders have become more immersed in training. My main goal is to become an active national team player, not a passive one."

Kim is also seeking to invite parents of athletes to the village when they celebrate their birthdays. "It's different to see your child live as a representative from a distance and to see him in person. How proud will both athletes and parents be?" Kim said. In addition, he is seeking to improve the environment by reinforcing aging sports facilities and expanding support for sports that are suffering from a shortage of training partners.

Another thing he values is his interest in non-recognition sports. "Some athletes and leaders complained to me that 'unpopular sports are better. There are also non-recognition sports like ours,'" Chief Kim said. For example, although they have international competitiveness such as wushu and modern pentathlon, there are many sports that the general public is not familiar with. I think they are really alienated. I want to help them dream more because the life span of athletes is not long," he said.

To this end, he announced his intention to analyze detailed data on non-Olympics and non-medal rights events and establish a vision countermeasure system. "Last year's Paris Olympics is an example. Has winning so many medals changed Korea's physical education? If you evaluate them with just medals, there will be side effects. School sports are all dead, and the field has become more difficult," he said. "You can apply for medal sports accordingly. Other than that, if you are ranked 10th, you should provide customized support to grow to 9th and 8th. That is the way to create a system where Korea's overall physical education continues to grow," he stressed.
