Director Geum Jung-seop of Sejong Sports Orthopedic Surgery visited the LG Twins' spring camp in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, for four days from the 9th. Director Geum, who works as an LG field doctor, has been visiting LG Spring Camp for three years. During the spring camp, he even took a break from hospital treatment to check the physical condition of the players and came to Arizona with an ultrasound diagnostic device at his personal expense.
It is not possible to have a system where medical staff reside and treat players while starting camp like Major League clubs, but Director Geum's visit is helping the team greatly during overseas camps, where medical treatment and examination are difficult.
Lim Chan-gyu said "When the pitch intensity gradually increases, muscle pain can also occur, and I feel good that I can feel safe through the treatment of Director Geum."
Senior training coach Kim Yong-il said, `As spring camp goes into the second half of the season, players are more likely to be exposed to injuries, big and small. It is very helpful in managing the player's condition as it is possible to know whether he is injured through treatment right away. In fact, injuries during camp are decreasing every year thanks to the help of Director Geum Jung-seop. I am always grateful as a conditioning part responsible for managing injuries because the injury of players is an important part of the performance of the season."
Director Geum said "It was also a short time in the middle of this camp, but I came to help the players a little bit. I looked at the physical conditions of several players, but no player with a big problem came out. I felt once again that the player management of the LG conditioning part is doing well. I hope the players who are always watching closely will perform well in good condition without injury. "I said.
