"Professional has to win." You can't learn by losing. You'll have to train a lot."

Hanwha Eagles head coach Kim Kyung-moon sent a strong message to the team. After this season, Hanwha players will have to prepare for hell training.

It has been a month since director Kim took office. The first half also ended. In the meantime, it was time for head coach Kim to take the helm of Hanwha in a hurry and to grasp the atmosphere with the team.



Manager Kim made the decision to replace the head coach and pitching coach to compete in earnest from the second half of the year. It's time to properly reveal director Kim's color.

It's not an easy challenge. Coach Kim came, but the performance did not change significantly. Fortunately, the victory over KT Wiz on the 4th led to the end of the first half of the season by escaping from three consecutive losses, and the difference between the top five teams is not so big, but anyway, it is a humiliation to fight for the bottom of the professional league.

Director Kim said, `First of all, winning consecutively is important. "One win in a row will give you a good fight in the second half of the year."Pro must win. You can never keep showing your fans how you lose. If you lose, there's something missing. The shortfall should be filled with training. There is nothing you can learn from losing the game. You have to train to fill it. As you lose, you catch the pitcher's control, and the batters' bats can't run well. (After this season) I think I need to train a lot," he said in a strong tone.

Coach Kim has been a leader with a tremendous amount of training since the days of the Doosan Bears and NC Dinos. In particular, the schedule in the spring camp was very tight. These days, almost all clubs go to training on the 3rd and rest on the 1st, but it was really huge when looking at the 2014 spring camp schedule when head coach Kim was the NC manager. The first and second training sessions gave a total of 49 nights and 50 days and four days of training rest. And the training continued from morning to night without a break.

Recently, baseball has been changing to the concept of quality rather than quantity in training, but there are still many people who believe that time and effort make results. It is not easy to say which one is the right answer, but if the coach, who is in charge of the field, sets the direction like that, the players must follow. There is no time to lay the foundation as much as in the final training and spring camp. Director Kim puts more emphasis on basics than anyone else. If the players were not lacking, they would not have talked about the amount of training they had experienced beforehand.

Right now, Hanwha players will take only one day off on the 5th, train in Daejeon on the 6th and 7th, and then move to Seoul on the 8th to prepare for the first three consecutive games against Kiwoom Heroes in the second half. I chose training instead of an All-Star break. Coach Kim said, `I wanted to train for all three days.'
