Five out of seven women's performance improvement committee members attended the meeting. The committee consists of former coach Cha Sang-hyun, former coach of Heungkuk Life Insurance Park Mi-hee, former coach of Chung Kwan-jang Ko Hee-jin, GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek, Jeonju Keunyoung Girls' High School coach Choi Woo-young, analyst Kim Jung-ah and Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) chairman Park Joo-point.
The committee gave Morales a high evaluation to the operation of the national team, which underwent a large-scale generational change after Kim Yeon-kyung retired. It is positive that it has led to active communication and trust with the players.
