There was a clear difference between Samsung's external evaluation and what I observed for nearly a month. 

Coach Kang Young-sik expressed his satisfaction, saying, "People outside were worried (about weak pitching ability

but when I came here and saw them, I got the impression that there were many players with potential.

Among the young players, I noticed their attitude toward baseball and their hard work by setting clear goals." revealed.

After retiring from active duty, Coach Kang Young-sik gained experience by holding various positions, starting as a pitching coach for the police baseball team

Lotte Futures pitching coach, rehabilitation team coach, and first-team bullpen coach.

He said, "What I have felt while working as a coach of the Futures Team is that the most important thing is for the players to move on their own.

They have to feel it themselves. They have to want to do it and recognize the need. As a leader, I want to help the players feel the need. If that happens, I want to help the players feel the need.

Not only can individual skills improve, but the entire team can become stronger,” he said.

Coach Kang Young-sik, who was a very successful player during his active years, began to open his eyes to baseball after taking office as manager Jerry Royster.

He said, "The manager said, 'Just throw strikes.

If you can't do that, I can't use you.' He asked you to take responsibility for the process rather than the result.

I also had a lot of doubts at first. What if you throw in the middle and hit a home run with a one-point lead? “I felt like I shouldn’t do it.

It was a ridiculous self-justification,” he confessed.

He continued, "As I did that, the number of walks decreased and the pressure of having to throw strikes began to disappear.

At some point, I was able to throw whatever I wanted.

As I started to enjoy going up to the mound and my results improved, my baseball career began."

Coach Kang Young-sik said, "I became aware of Coach Royster's intentions while coaching. In the end, baseball is played by the players.

The players must move on their own. No matter how good the information is, it is meaningless if the players do not do it. It was a very small start, but small habits can work miracles.

I experienced making it,” he added.

After taking office as general manager, general manager Lee Jong-yeol said, "First, I will focus on player development.

And I want to make it a strong team that can produce sustainable results, not a team that only flashes for one year.

He said, "We will use cutting-edge equipment such as bio-mechanics and drive lines." We plan to introduce it to maximize the training effect.

Coach Kang Young-sik, who experienced cutting-edge systems such as biomechanics and drive lines during his time at Lotte, has reached a level where he can explain things at the players' level based on numerical data. 

Coach Kang Young-sik said, “Because there is an accurate basis, players also accept it differently.”

Baseball is a representative mental sport. Coach Kang Young-sik is constantly communicating with Song Bong-gil, who worked as a mental trainer at Lotte, and is also making efforts to strengthen the players' mentality.
