Women’s basketball legend Park Chan-sook, Sohn Kyung-won ‘Dreams come true’ Meet at Seodaemun-gu Office
“Dream comes true. This is really true.” Standing
in front of the KBS microphone for a long time, Park Chan-suk was thrilled from the first word she said.
Park Chan-sook, who won the silver medal in women’s basketball at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, was appointed as the first head coach of the women’s basketball team at Seodaemun-gu Office in Seoul.
Coach Park Chan-sook said, “As an eternal basketball player, it’s something I’ve always wanted in my heart, and I’m excited that my dream has come true.” Please interview Lee Seong-heon, the mayor of the district, not me. It wasn’t me, but the mayor supported everything,” he said.
This is the first time coach Park has taken the helm of a specific team other than the national team, such as professional, business, or school.
The Seodaemun-gu Office Women’s Basketball Team is the 5th women’s business team in Korea, following Gimcheon City Hall, Sacheon City Hall, Daegu City Sports Association, and Seoul Metropolitan Basketball Association.
Accommodation for players and training gyms have already been secured, and an inauguration ceremony is scheduled to be held next month.
The goal set by the Seodaemun-gu Office women’s basketball team is to realize the dreams of players who wish to continue playing basketball. 카지노사이트
Director Park said, “There are many friends who want to play basketball and love basketball. I went pro again, but my friends who retired early don’t have a chance to play basketball. I want to select and train players with such a dream. I want to do my best to help them achieve their dreams.”
Coach Park said, “We are planning to participate in the Unemployment Basketball Federation competition, which is held by unemployed teams. After that, they can also participate in the individual championships. In the future, we will openly recruit players. We support the dreams of the players,” he said.
It is said that former Samsung Life Guard Sohn Kyung-won has been appointed as the coach to assist Park.
Coach Sohn made a name for himself as a top-notch guard at Samsung Life Insurance and was a gold medalist in the 1994 Asian Games.
At that time, Samsung Life Insurance, where famous shooter Choi Kyung-hee retired, supplemented the scoring ability with the shooting ability of the guards centered on Son Gyeong-won, Oh Mi-suk, and Wang Su-jin.
Coach Sohn, who once taught basketball skills to youngsters at a sports club called Sohn Kyung-won Sports Academy, is expected to join Park Chan-sook in March. In Seodaemun-gu Office, the Myung Center and Myung Guard meet as leaders.
