Kim Yeonkoung
My(Kim Yeon-koung’s) motto and phrase that comes to mind when I’m having a hard time is “Don’t lose your motivation.” I always think of that phrase when I get conceited or when things don't go well for me. 2017 was a special year for me. It was the year when I received the biggest love from my fans and also the year when I entered in my 30s. Writing this book gave me an opportunity not only to go back from my childhood to my 20s and think about my motivation, but also to make plans for the future regarding my remaining time as a player and my retirement. I also came to realize that I have less days ahead of me in my volleyball career than the days I’ve already put behind me. I ask those who read this book to see not only the volleyball player Kim Yeon-koung but also the person Kim Yeon-koung. Please continue to support me!
