Park Jung-ah, the ‘captain’ of the women’s volleyball team, admitted that her power has weakened compared to the past when her seniors played. However, he also emphasized that it will be different from last year, when he tasted the pain of defeat in the Volleyball Nations League (VNL), as more young players are showing remarkable growth.
Park Jung-ah joked, “The captain’s armband was usually heavy, but this moment feels the most heavy,” at the women’s volleyball team open training held at the Jincheon National Athlete’s Village in Chungcheongbuk-do on the 16th. However, with a lot of help, I am preparing well for VNL.”
The women’s volleyball team is preparing for the first week of the 2023 VNL, which will be held in Turkiye from the 30th, gathering at the Jincheon Athlete’s Village from the 24th of last month. Park Jung-ah will serve as national team captain for her second year in a row following her last year.

However, he said, “Last year’s national team performance was not good, so this year, from the first day of the convocation, we said let’s all work hard together.” I am trying to improve little by little every day, so please give me a lot of support,” he emphasized.
Park Jung-ah’s personal condition is fortunately not bad up to this point. Despite having a non-stop schedule, such as signing an FA (free agent) contract with Du Pepper Savings Bank, he is showing the responsibility of the captain. Park Jung-ah said, “I came after a little break and my sense of ball was a little lost, but the national team took care of me a lot
