"After retirement, there was a lot of emptiness, but the fact that I could play with the players again through a new challenge encouraged me." When it was hot and cold, the cold ballpark environment also needed to be adjusted."
Kim Sung-yeon, a former member of the national judo team, confessed, "'Judo was unfamiliar with team play because it was centered on individual games.'" "When I first started baseball, it was the hardest to damage the team by my mistake." However, he comforted his team members saying, "It's okay, I'll catch you when you're struggling alone."It was very rewarding to have a heart to support and help each other" he said.
Track and field athlete Kim Min-ji revealed an unexpected opportunity. He likes the Hanwha Eagles. I always swear while watching TV, but I thought I had to run myself to reduce the curse," he said with a smile. He added, "'Baseball was really difficult at first, and the players who were playing the game felt really cool and proud.'" As for track and field parallelism "It was a pity that I could not attend the practice very often. Instead, the team members grew quickly and stimulated them. I'm working on it with the mindset that I need to catch up quickly" he said.
The process in which players who have stood at the top of their respective events once again become `first-timers' and stand on unfamiliar ground. The "Baseball Queen" is expected to mark another starting point for women's baseball in Korea through their sweat, emotions, and growth narratives.
