Director Ogino, who took office in June First Cup in 2 months
“Whether it’s a match or a meal, the director, staff, and players will be mixed.”

OK Financial Group manager Ogino Massage, who won the men’s championship at the 2023 Gumi-Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament, cited horizontal team culture as the secret to the victory.

OK Financial Group, led by Japanese coach Ogino, won 3-1 (25-23 22-25 25-23 25-20) in the men’s final Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance at the 2023 Gumi-Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament at Park Chung-hee Gymnasium in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do, on the 13th.

OK Financial Group won the Cup for the first time since its foundation in 2013. OK Financial, which reached the Kobo Cup finals in 2015, 2019, and 2021, but finished second, enjoyed its first championship.

Ogino, who took office in June, showed off his leadership by winning the championship in two months. Ogino said he was not aiming to win the tournament. “Whether I win or not, I didn’t think about it,” he said in an interview after the match. “It was meaningful to participate in the official match,” he said adding, “I played five official matches two months after my inauguration.” “It was a good five-time test match,” he said.

When asked what changes in OK Financial Group led to the victory, coach Ogino cited changes in the team’s culture as one of the factors. He said, “I told the players not to call me a coach. “The coach, coach, and player have been allowed to stay friendly, not in a top-down relationship,” he said adding, “We are making sure that the coach, staff, and players are mixed, whether it is a match or a meal.”

It is also a change that coaches guide players without looking at the coach. Coach Ogino said, “If coaches don’t make remarks, we are giving them an opportunity to say what they think,” adding, “Then the players listen to the coach and the coach leads with confidence.” In doing so, a relationship of trust is formed. “I’m having fun in that relationship,” he explained.

Although he won the Kobo Cup, Ogino predicted that the situation would be different in the V-League, which will open in October. This is because other teams have the strongest power. Coach Ogino said, “I think the Kobo Cup and the V-League are completely different. “The V-League is twice a week, and the schedule is difficult, and there can be injuries,” he said. “In the long-term race, we will not divide the team into the first and second divisions, but we will make a team by raising the team’s skills from the bottom players.” 토토사이트

The key is how to use Shin Ho-jin, who became the best player in this tournament. Leo may play in the position of the Apogit Spiker, where Shin Ho-jin played in this tournament. Coach Ogino said, “I’m thinking because Leo hasn’t joined yet. “I didn’t see Leo’s play in person,” he said. “I heard he is the best foreign player in Korea, but I will make a team after seeing what level he is at.” “It’s different to see the video in person,” he said.
