The KIA Tigers' training part is famous for providing meticulous customized training to players among the 10 KBO League teams. KIA was able to achieve the combined championship in the 2024 season thanks to the hidden contribution of its training part.
After the first camp in Irvine, the U.S., Kia is currently holding the second camp in Okinawa, Japan. With its headquarters set up in Kin Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, Kia is enhancing its sense of actual play through practice matches with teams from home and abroad.토토사이트
Training parts are now busier than before as the team has begun an actual inspection phase. To prevent potential injuries, the team is closely monitoring players' conditions before and after the game. Training parts are constantly assisting players in conditioning by installing two massage beds on one side of the Keane Stadium.
"Last year, we had a lot of injury resources. I thought we were going to start preparing for the next season from December. We also conducted medical tests on our key players before December. The players who have been found to have problems have decided to take their pace a little more slowly in this camp," said Park Chang-min, general manager of the training.
Coach Park said, "Our team is running training parts exclusively for pitchers and fielders. Let's take a look at the pitchers and fielders in several groups. In addition to inducing them to perform weight training effectively, we are also conducting reinforcement treatment so that we can call players first to treat them."
At Kin Stadium on the 27th, electrolyte drinks prepared by KIA's training part were prepared in one place. Each player's uniform number was also marked on the water bottle.
"Players might not know what they ate if they don't write their jersey numbers down. Each player should eat the right amount of electrolyte at the right time. In Okinawa, Japan, the weather is not cold, so players sweat a lot when the actual match is held. Hydration is really important," Park said.
The team has been purchasing supplements and electrolyte drinks that the players need in the U.S. "I brought them to Okinawa, Japan without any problems. In fact, eating supplements and electrolyte drinks is an essential habit for athletes. It is also very important when to eat, and overall training was conducted at this camp," Park said.
With March approaching, the opening game is also just around the corner. Training parts including Coach Park are making all-out efforts to manage players' final conditions.
"Prevention of injury is still the top priority. If there seems to be any problem, our training team will continue to call in first to provide reinforcement treatment. I hope that we will prepare well until the end so that the players can display their skills well during exhibition games and the regular season," he said.
