Got to catch up with my friend HyeonWoo. He knows some English, I know some Hangul, but got a translator to be more confident with the discussion.
We talked about his health since he missed Tokyo Olympics due to contracting COVID.
HyeonWoo shared his goals for the upcoming 2022 Worlds and potentially 2024 Olympics, but that he is also transitioning to become a coach. He expressed it is difficult and I offered to help when he comes to Washington DC and I go to Korea.
I also asked him about his memories of London Olympics where he won Olympic Gold.
He shared thoughts on youth development, talent identification and grooming young athletes in Korea for world level success and his role.
We talked about his toughest nemesis as well and it’s no surprise to who it is…
