Kim’s position is “skip” to establish strategies for the entire game and check the ice. As the leader of the team, she pitches Stone at the very end to determine the winner. “The position is one where you should not make the worst mistake,” Kim said.
Perhaps, he feels a lot of pressure as he is wearing double the weight of his captain’s and skip. He is nicknamed “Glasses senior” because he played the game with a stern look on his face while wearing glasses. “In fact, I tried hard to make this poker face,” Kim said. “I tend to be very nervous.” 스포츠토토
This is why keeping calm is more important than anything else. Kim said that she has come to make mind control more important than grades. As members start families these days, their daily lives outside the stadium have changed a lot. Kim also became a mother who has to concentrate on raising her 5-year-old son after training. As such, her inner stories to be told have become more diverse. “I am learning how to control my emotions technically and to open up my anxiety to my team members while taking professional classes,” Kim said.
The secret to being able to keep the team without changing its members for 16 years is also in line with his values of pursuing something soft and calm. Kim Eun-jung said, “Although he is the oldest, he is usually teased a lot,” adding, “I think it was his leadership that he tried to take care of even a small thing once more or brought it to me when he saw something he wanted to eat.”
Constant performance is one of the factors that made the team stick to each other. There were times when there were brief ups and downs, but the poor performance never lasted for more than three seasons. “After all, the decision came from the thought, ‘I’m good at it, but it’s going to be difficult for this team. I can do better.’ But none of us thinks that it’s the result of my good performance. I think we can create good synergy when we work together.”
