Coach Masaji Ogino, who led OK Financial Group to win its first cup tournament at the same time as he took office, vowed to make a stronger team using this experience as a stepping stone.
OK Financial Group beat Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance with a set score of 3-1 25-23 22-25 25-23 25-23 25-20 in the men's final of the 2023 Gumi-Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament KOVO Cup held at Park Chung-hee Gymnasium in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 13th.

It is a valuable result achieved in the fourth attempt. OK Financial Group reached the final stage three times in 2015, 2019, and 2021, but all remained in second place.
This time it was different. OK Financial Group, which won only one set in the previous three finals, won its first KOVO Cup title without repeating the same mistake.
Coach Ogino even won the first tournament at the helm of the team, raising expectations for the upcoming V-League.
Coach Ogino said, "I'm happy to win the championship. "I want to praise all the players and staff," he said. "I think I've crossed one mountain in preparation for the V League." "Since there are many players with high growth potential, we will try to strengthen the player base," he said.
Since taking office, Ogino has emphasized strengthening communication. He believes that smooth communication between coaches, staff, and players will make the team stronger.
He was the first to change the name. Players were ordered to be called "Oh Ji-sang" without the title of manager. This is in the hope that the players will approach in a friendly manner without feeling the wall of being a coach.
Coaches also allowed them to express their opinions rather than simply following the coach's instructions and delivering them to the players.
Coach Ogino said, "Coaches, coaches, and players are not up and down. In order to break this, he said, "We are doing it in a mixture of practice, movement, and meals," and explained, "Coaches are also strengthening trust by conveying their thoughts and letting the players listen to them."
Ok Financial Group's director of Massage Ogino is delighted with Libero Bu Yong-chan.
Against this backdrop, players such as Song Hee-chae and Lee Min-kyu, who failed to participate in the tournament due to injuries, visited the stadium during the final and shared the joy of winning together. 토토사이트
Coach Ogino said, "Whether we win or lose the final, we were going to get together and take a picture," adding, "If one or two players leave in this process, it could have a bad impact on the team, so we decided to gather."
Coach Ogino has led the Sunbirds of Sunbirds to the top of the Chun Wang-bae 2010 and the Kurowashi All-Japan Championships 2019.
Coach Ogino, who won the first tournament in Korea, said, "I was determined to test how much the players who were together for about two months will show their performance rather than thinking about winning or not," adding, "I think it was a good test for the team during five games."
He is determined to welcome the upcoming regular league with a stronger appearance.
Coach Ogino said, "The league has to play twice a week and have a tough schedule. There may be injuries. Since several players have to play in the long-term race, the team will be divided into the first and second divisions and will be on the same menu without practicing. "I'm thinking about how to improve my skills together with the players at the bottom," he stressed.
