The hidden power of Woori Bank’s victory, Jeon Joo-Won X Lim Young-Hee’s coach ‘Shadow Leadership’

Behind Asan Woori Bank’s 14th regular season championship, there is a name that cannot be left out. This is the story of coach Jeon Joo-won (51) and Lim Young-hee (43), who supported Woori Bank with “shadow leadership.” The two contributed to the championship by meticulously taking care of the team behind coach Seong-Woo Seong-Woo.

Coach Jeon is a legend in Korean women’s basketball. She made her spectacular debut in 1991 by winning the Rookie of the Year award at the Great Basketball Festival. She has been on the court for over 20 years and has won various titles. She played the role of an ace not only in her team but also in the national team. She was the first Korean athlete to achieve a ‘trible double’ at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. After retiring, he is also walking a splendid path as a leader. In the 2012-2013 season, he led the team to victory after building a nest at Woori Bank with coach바카라사이트 Wie.

Coach Lim is a model of Korean women’s basketball. He played as a sixth man for close to 10 years after her debut in 1999. In the 2009-2010 season, she shone after transferring to Woori Bank. From the 2012-2013 season, he led Woori Bank to 6 consecutive championships. At the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, she also won a gold medal for South Korea. He has been coaching at Woori Bank since the 2021-2022 season after her retirement. He is in charge of one axis of Woori Bank along with coach Wie, who was once a teacher, and former coaches.

The former coach and the im coach never reveal themselves. Always walk one step apart. However, the presence of these two makes Woori Bank strong. Coach Wi praised them, saying, “We are as close as family. There is no need to evaluate the two coaches separately.”

Confidence within the team is also solid. ‘Veteran’ Kim Jong-un (36) said, “The presence of Coach Jeon and Coach Lim is very strong. If Coach Wie sets the ‘big frame’, the two of them will lead ‘in detail’. Coach Jeon is very detailed. He takes care of my part. Coach Lim is a player who has been with me, so he is very considerate of my position. When I am having a hard time, he listens to me and gives me advice.”

Now, the two will go beyond the regular league and once again contribute towards Woori Bank’s ‘integrated championship’. Woori Bank aims to win the 11th championship match.
