Yellow and Park Hye-min we knew are back
The reason for leaving the court for a while was different, but the performance after returning was equally dazzling. Yellow and Park Hye-min contributed to KGC Ginseng Corporation’s journey to spring volleyball.
Yellow enjoyed the honor of being selected for the national team during the last off-season and participated in the FIVB Volleyball Nations League (VNL) and digested the schedule for the first week as a starter. However, during training he suffered an unexpected injury. His site was the left Achilles tendon, and it was quite severe. He underwent surgery right away in Brazil, where VNL was held, and returned to Korea first. Afterwards, Nolan, who devoted himself to rehabilitation, returned to the court through the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League 3rd round match against Korea Expressway Corporation on January 3rd.
However, as soon as he returned, he did not show all his skills. Due to the aftermath of his injury, he has had a somewhat erratic performance. However, in the women’s round 5 match against IBK Industrial Bank held at the Hwaseong Indoor Gymnasium on the 8th, Nolan played a game that reminded me of the time when I was in peak form. He recorded a receiving efficiency of 61.54%, and the two-stage connection breathing with Elisabeth Inebarga (registered name Elisabeth) was also good.
Nolan said, “If I didn’t have a good game, I could have walked away from spring volleyball. I am happy to be able to continue my hopes with good results.” Regarding his condition after his return, “It still goes back and forth. The director is controlling it well. There is no problem running the game. His senses seem to be getting better than at the beginning of his return. I don’t think you need to worry too much,” he replied bravely.
Regarding the neat second-level connection with Elisabeth that day, Nolan said, “Elisabeth is a player who is comfortable raising the second level in a way. As long as you match the height well, she will find a way to hit you. In the meantime, I was a little anxious about breathing because I lacked practice, but I tried to get rid of the anxiety by practicing a lot. It seems to have come out well through the game.”
On the other hand, Park Hye-min had a lot of opportunities to start at the beginning of the season, but recently he often kept the warm-up zone. She gave up her starting position to Chae Seon-ah due to her chronic receiving anxiety and rapid performance difficulties.
However, on this day, coach Ko Hee-jin said, “Recently, the amount of training has increased a lot. I believe in it,” said Park Hye-min as the starter, and Park Hye-min showed good performance by raising 10 points. Park Hye-min said with a bright expression, “I thought this match was an important match. I am so happy to win,” she said of the match. 안전놀이터
The biggest reason Park Hye-min’s performance improved was her calmness. Park Hye-min said, “There were many times when I played a game that was not calm whether it went well or not. During the practice process, she told me a lot about playing the game calmly. I just focused on that,” she revealed. As soon as she calmed down, Park Hye-min’s performance changed noticeably. Park Hye-min said, “During the game, the older sisters yelled at me from behind to tell me where to hit them, but he was able to keep up with it as he played calmly. She can do better in the future,” she said without hiding her pride.
In the middle of the competition, the players are fighting a war against psychological pressure. Park Hye-min was no different. When asked how he will maintain the calmness he showed that day in the future, Park Hye-min said, “I think it’s important to be serious from the practice process. That way you can keep this calm. I have to wake up (laughs)”, revealing her delightful aspirations.
Nolan and Park Hye-min, who returned, began to demonstrate their skills in earnest. In fact, it has the same effect as a new recruit. Can KGC Ginseng Corporation survive the fierce competition and enjoy spring volleyball?
