Kim Minsoo, coach A of Hwayang High School

Coach Kim Min-soo and promising basketball players in Cheongju met.

 

Cheongju Samsung Little Thunder (hereinafter referred to as Cheongju Samsung) held the Cheongju Samsung Basketball Class Festival on the 19th to revitalize non-metropolitan basketball at the Cheongju Samsung Indoor Gymnasium. 

 

Kim Min-soo, the current coach of Hwayang High School, who has been selected as a member of the national team since his time at Kyung Hee University and played for SK in Seoul for 14 years (2008-2009~202020-2021 season), attended the festival to donate his talent. Kim participated in the pre-festival schedule, including watching games, one-point lessons, shooting games, autographs and photographs. 

 

Coach Kim, who drew the attention of the participants from his appearance, received enthusiastic support from the participants as he did his best to correct the shooting form of more than 30 Cheongju Samsung youth players and Jungang Elementary School players on a one-on-one basis. 


After the festival, coach Kim said, "It is the first time I have met an elementary school student who is not a college student or a high school student (since I became a leader). I can't be perfect once I talk about it, but I'm pretty and proud of the attitude of trying to learn as much as possible. Passion is important when playing basketball, and everyone from the leader to the student is passionate."

 

"As my understanding of basketball is low, I learn as soon as I tell it. It is different from other (secondary, high school, and university) students," he said of his impressive point. 

 

"Even if I erase the letters written on the paper, there are no traces left. They are still young, so they are blank in basketball. That is why I learn how to write. I can see that they are faster and better at learning than college or high school students," Kim said, applauding the youth's development potential. 

 

Finally, coach Kim said, "I try to attend as much as possible where I can be helpful. I hope basketball will be activated in non-metropolitan areas."
