‘V-League coach with most wins – 2’ Shin Young-cheol “The important thing is the spirit of challenge”
If coach Shin Young-cheol (59) of Woori Card adds two wins, he will tie the record for most wins among Korean professional volleyball coaches.
It is the result of running tirelessly for about 20 years.
Coach Shin, who met ahead of the home game against Hyundai Capital in the 2023-2024 Professional Volleyball V-League Men’s Division held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 18th, said, “I knew roughly the record, but I didn’t know the specific numbers.
I’m not the type of person who is obsessed with personal records.” 토토사이트
He waved his hand and said, “I was able to come this far because the club chose me and the players helped me.
I will continue to challenge myself to increase my wins.”
Director Shin Young-cheol even smiled slightly as if he was embarrassed when his record became a hot topic.
Before the game, coach Shin Young-cheol had 274 wins (214 losses), coming within two wins of the V-League record of 276 wins (74 losses) held by former Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance coach Shin Chi-yong.
He first took the helm at LIG Insurance (now KB Insurance) in February 2004, and after working at Korean Air and Korea Electric Power Corporation, he worked as a manager at Woori Bank and led 488 games.
Woori Card, which he has led since April 2018, achieved 103 wins (72 losses).
Coach Shin Young-cheol, who cited ‘challenge spirit’ as the secret to the long run, pledged to continue the challenge in the 2023-2024 season.
Coach Shin said, “This season, our team is trying to change to the level of a re-founding team.
Although it was initially classified as a low-ranking powerhouse, if outside hitter Kim Ji-han and setter Han Tae-jun, who is in his second season, improve, they can move up to the upper rankings.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing all the players follow suit,” he said.
Even though libero Oh Jae-seong was absent due to shingles on this day, coach Shin Young-cheol expressed his trust in the player, saying, “It’s okay because I have Kim Young-jun.”
Heo Soo-bong (Hyundai Capital), who played as a middle blocker in the opening game of the 2023-2024 season (against Korean Air on the 14th), will play as an outside hitter against Woori Card on this day.
Coach Choi Tae-woong explained, “Heo Soo-bong must adapt to both the middle blocker and outside heater positions.
We will decide Heo Soo-bong’s position depending on the situation.”
Outside hitter Jeon Gwang-in, who struggled with 1 point in the game against Korean Air, was left out of the starting lineup.
Director Choi said, “Jeon Gwang-in’s physical condition is not yet perfect.
He needs time to recover.”
