Pressure to make’good results’ in the first year of the acquisition
Coach Won-hyung Kim focuses on raising the atmosphere of the team
Like other sports, the psychological factor is important in baseball.
Mental issues of leaders and players directly or indirectly affect performance.
The atmosphere of the entire squad can sometimes dominate the first half of the season.
Professional baseball KBO league teams use a variety of methods to relieve the pressure, tension, and stress that players feel.
Some clubs hire psychologists as coaches to manage the players’ mental problems.
Although his skills are a bit degraded, putting a player who plays the role of mood maker into the first-team entry also helps players manage their mentality.
If the club is in a special situation, it makes more effort to keep its members from being psychologically shaken.
The same is true of SK Wyverns in KBO League, which will be sold to Shinsegae Group E-Mart next month.
SK members are under the burden of having to achieve good results in the 2021 season, which is greeted with a new team.
The players did not hide their thoughts on the first day of spring camp training held at Gangchanghak Baseball Stadium in Seogwipo, Jeju Island on the 1st.
Veteran outfielder Kim Kang-min said, “We have to wear a new uniform and leave a lot of good looks,” and “I want to do better as we are entering the new season with a new team.
“A common idea of the players.”
SK’s captain Lee Jae-won also said, “I decided to train hard in this spring camp,” and said, “I will try to achieve good results this year.”
Lee Jae-won couldn’t sleep well before training on the first day of spring camp.
He slept for about an hour and then trained on the first day.
SK coach Kim Won-hyung, who took the baton for the first time this season, knows the importance of this spring camp ahead of the launch of a new club.
It is also recognized that we cannot simply focus on improving athletes’ skills and physical condition.
Coach Won-hyung Kim’s first goal is to enter the new season without much agitation while maintaining a bright team atmosphere as usual.
Director Kim said, “(Due to the acquisition of the club), our team is getting a lot of attention from fans and the press. It is true that it is burdensome and nervous, but we will digest this spring camp according to the plan we have prepared.” .
Shinsegae Group E-Mart, which takes over the club, is well aware of this.
Shinsegae Group visited the squad’s lodgings ahead of training on the first day of the spring camp, and introduced the background of the acquisition and the direction of the group.
It was a great effort to resolve the anxiety factors that SK members, including players, think.
The SK team is also planning to devote itself to creating an environment where players can train as usual at the Seogwipo Spring Camp, which continues until the 6th of next month.
