The Ulsan Whales, the only citizen baseball team in the KBO League, invited local university students to the club's home stadium for an opportunity to directly experience professional sports operations.
On the 17th, the Ulsan Whales announced that it had conducted an on-site club tour program for students majoring in Sports Rehabilitation at Ulsan University of Science and Technology at Munsu Baseball Stadium on the 16th.
According to the Ulsan team, this tour was planned as a follow-up program to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by both institutional investors on April 18. The program was designed not merely as an observation visit but as a practice-oriented experience allowing students to directly feel how the theoretical knowledge they learned at school is implemented in professional settings.
On that day, the students toured the entire operational process of the sports rehabilitation department, including conditioning for maintaining players' performance, injury prevention and rehabilitation management, and training systems.
Notably, Kang Min-cheol, Senior Trainer of the Ulsan Whales, drew attention by personally serving as a special lecturer. Senior Trainer Kang shared hands-on player management know-how and engaged in in-depth question-and-answer sessions with students on essential competencies and career directions required for future sports rehabilitation experts.
Kim Dong-jin, President of the Ulsan Whales, stated, "Since partnering with Ulsan University of Science and Technology last April, we have created a meaningful opportunity for students to directly visit the field and connect their academic studies with practical work. Going forward, we will continue to expand exchange programs with local universities so that students can further develop their on-site sensibilities."
The Ulsan Whales and Ulsan University of Science and Technology plan to solidify a practical industry-academia cooperation model aimed at cultivating regional sports talent and revitalizing the sports industry in the Ulsan area, using this tour as a stepping stone.
