My Take

At 200 centimeters, Kim Se-jin was clearly built to dominate at the net, but what holds my attention is his staying power. Representing South Korea from 1992 through 2003 and competing across three Olympic Games puts him at the heart of a golden era for Korean volleyball. I have a soft spot for athletes who refuse to leave the sport once their playing days end, and Kim returning as a coach in the V-League is exactly that. There is a particular humility in a former star starting over on the sideline, teaching the fundamentals he once embodied. That arc, from giant on court to mentor, is one I admire.

Overview
