ABOUT ME

WHAT MOMENT DO YOU SKI FOR?

To enjoy winter nature with many people for a long time through attractive winter sports

HOW DO YOU RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE?

 I try to spend time with my family and prepare for the next season by cycling, weight training and summer skiing.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE? WHY DOES THIS QUOTE RESONATE WITH YOU?

Like the first time, like the last time. It helps to concentrate every moment and helps relax in the start.

HOW DO YOU CONQUER DIFFICULT SITUATIONS?

To consult with friends and listen to their advice and find effective ways to overcome

WHAT SACRIFICES HAVE YOU HAD TO MAKE TO GET TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY AND WERE THEY WORTH IT?

Although I had a long experience as an elite skier, I practiced basic skills for many years to learn technical skiing. Without that time, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current position as a technical skier.

HOW DOES YOUR MINDSET (OR ATTITUDE) INFLUENCE YOUR PERFORMANCE?

The strength of the mind completes the best run and leads to the finish line.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT SKIING?

I run own professional ski shops in Seoul and enjoy to meet various skiers.

WHAT STRATEGY DO YOU USE TO OVERCOME PRESSURE AND STRESS FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE?

I often think of the best times and think about the process of getting to that point. If you do such a process several times, your mind becomes calm and you have more concentration.
