Busan OK Savings Bank took its first step toward reaching higher heights in the next season by launching a workshop aimed at fostering communication and building consensus within the team.
OK Savings Bank announced that it will hold a 2-night, 3-day team workshop from the 20th to the 22nd in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Busan.
This workshop was organized to reflect on last season and strengthen consensus and teamwork so that players and coaching staff can align toward the goal of winning the championship next season. Additionally, starting from the 21st, the team will move to its home city of Busan to continue off-season community-focused activities, including talent donation at elementary schools, while further strengthening bonds with Busan fans.
On the first day of the workshop, the 20th, the team gathered in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, to reflect on last season and engage in a session where players personally considered what changes were needed from their perspective to achieve better results next season.
Notably, instead of coaches unilaterally evaluating or directing the team, players took the lead in reviewing last season. In groups, they analyzed the reasons for not meeting expectations in terms of performance and identified areas that needed improvement for the team to advance to the next level. They then created presentation materials outlining what each player should improve and change in training, games, and daily team life to achieve shared goals for the next season, which were shared with the entire team.
During group presentations, players shared their teams' envisioned directions through slogans and messages they created themselves. Among them, the groups led by Chang Chi-hwan, Shin Jang-ho, and Kim Jun-ho were selected as the best group for presenting a sincere review of last season and an inspiring message about next season's goals.
In addition to player presentations, various educational sessions essential for professional athletes were conducted. Trainer Lee Seung-yoon educated players on nutrition management, injury treatment and recovery, and condition control—all critical for improving performance. The lectures focused on practical aspects of professional athlete life, enabling players to take personal responsibility not only for training but also for diet habits, recovery, and overall body care.
Kwon Cheol-geun, manager of OK Savings Bank, also addressed the team. Manager Kwon reviewed with players the major achievements the club has made since relocating its home base to Busan last season and discussed what kind of team "OK Eumman Volleyball" should become moving forward.
He particularly emphasized that it is the team's important duty to demonstrate performance and attitude worthy of the interest and support shown by Busan fans since the relocation. He urged players to uphold professional responsibility and conduct not only on the court but also off it, reminding them that individual actions are linked to both their own image and the overall image of the entire team.
Manager Kwon Cheol-geun stated, "This workshop is meaningful because rather than the club or coaching staff providing answers, players themselves reflect on last season and discuss what kind of team they should become in the future. We hope this workshop becomes an opportunity to build consensus and teamwork so that everyone can look toward the same goal next season and take a step forward."
After completing its Uljin schedule on the first day, OK Eumman Volleyball will move to its home city of Busan on the morning of the 21st. In Busan, the team will continue the workshop while also carrying out off-season community-focused activities such as volleyball talent donation for local elementary students, aiming to expand its connection with the region.
