About This Book
On April 8, 2025, Kim Yeon-koung, a former professional volleyball player, retired after leading her team, the Pink Spiders of Heungkuk Life, to an unprecedented championship, winning both the regular season and the championship finals. Throughout her career, the team had struggled with a so-called "runner-up curse," yet in her final season, Kim led them to victory, marking a spectacular conclusion to her playing career. She was awarded both the regular season and championship finals MVP, making her perhaps the only athlete in the history of global sports to retire while simultaneously achieving a championship and an MVP award.
What drove Kim Yeon-koung to maintain her position at the top from her debut season to her twentieth and final season, creating one of the most inspiring sports dramas possible in her last moments on the court? This book vividly captures her journey: the challenges she faced on her way to becoming the world's best volleyball player, the setbacks of injuries and contract disputes, her process of growing stronger through adversity, and her realization of a larger sense of self—moving beyond being an exceptional athlete toward becoming a complete human being.
Kim's way of thinking and acting serves as a model for people of all generations, from teenagers to young adults, showing how a person can grow in the right direction and achieve respected social success. Moreover, the bold choices and decisive actions she took to grow, change, and establish a unique domain offer strategic lessons that can be applied to organizations seeking renewal and development.
Many volleyball players have superior physical abilities and athletic talent, yet Kim Yeon-koung is often praised as "one in a billion" for the gap she created through her mindset and approach. How did she become more than the world’s best attacker and transform herself into a living legend? What thoughts and attitudes gave rise to the "Kim Yeon-koung myth"? Discover the answers in her book Things I Must Do Now for Myself.
