The players move before I talk."
I was impressed by the team culture that LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop "knowingly" did.
Ahead of the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 25th, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was briefly immersed in appreciation, saying, "Our LG culture has changed a lot."스포츠토토
When LG met NC Dinosaurs at their home turf of three consecutive games on weekdays, the team lost one win and two games. LG finished the series inferiorly for the first time in this season.
LG players are said to have gathered on their own even before the coaching staff came forward to set the tone.
Manager Yeom lamented, "Baseball is not going as I thought. It's difficult," but added, "Still, the hopeful part is that the seniors are leading the team so well."
The director didn't even have to call a meeting.
Coach Yeom said, "I didn't even say that I should win today (25th), but they gathered around Park Hae-min and had a meeting among themselves to overcome the first crisis. As these things have been accumulated for three years, our team can be much stronger and formed into a culture."
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop recalled his days as LG's defense coach. He served as LG's defense coach from 2010 to 2011. Oh Ji-hwan, who is now the MVP of the Korean Series, was a promising player at the time.
"In the past, people used to say 'Oh Ji-bae'," Yeom said. "Even though things happened during games, we had to go through such games. If Oh made a mistake, he couldn't enter the locker after finishing the game. We had to practice basic skills until the lights were turned off due to cleaning of Jamsil Stadium. There was a time when all of our seniors left work and went in. Our culture has changed a lot," he said.
Seniors feel responsible and juniors have a virtuous cycle structure in which they can grow again by watching and learning.
Coach Yeom said, "It is a culture that is very helpful for young players to develop. When I saw these things, I thought that even if difficulties come, I would be able to overcome them. Before I talk, the players are moving," he said, thanking the players once again.
Perhaps because of this, LG also won the match against KIA on Saturday. The team came from behind to lose 3-5, with starting pitcher Son Ju-young being replaced early. However, the team maintained concentration until the end, winning again 6-5, and came on a first-come, first-served basis for 20 wins.
