We did not have bad results last year but the team needs stability and modern standards. This is the person who can bring us success. Also, he can prepare the team psychologically”.

Lado Vardzelashvili (minister of Georgian Sports and Youth Affairs): “We invited several foreign specialists but it does not mean that we do not have specialists in these sports. We just want to gain a new experience and to establish those methods which are known in the world.

I learned about the program of Korean specialist and liked it very much. After that I agreed on working with him and I am ready to help the federation. Besides that, it is important that Georgian coaches work with him and to learn modern standards.

In spite of that, this person is young he is very experienced and he will help us. I expect licences from women and men. I want to ask members of the team to greet this person as a member of your team and to work with him”.
