At Spain Rush-SPF, the ultimate reward for our staff is witnessing our players achieve their professional soccer aspirations. Kim Taehum's journey exemplifies this achievement—a testament to dedication and tailored training.


From his initial days at SPF, Kim exhibited remarkable discipline and commitment to his development, embracing a strict regimen that balanced intensive study and play. His first year was dedicated to an intensive program that focused on morning training sessions aimed at enhancing his understanding of and intensity in Spanish soccer. Afternoons were spent training with a local academy team, elevating his skills to match the competitive levels in Spain.


Adapting to the intensity and style of Spanish soccer poses significant challenges for foreign players, and our technical staff and coaches work diligently to customize training programs to meet the unique needs of each player. Our goal is to elevate their technical, tactical, and physical abilities to meet the demands of Spanish competitions.


Throughout his year at SPF, our coaches closely monitored Kim’s progress, leading to his transfer to a Spanish U19 Second Division team, where he quickly made a mark. His performance caught the attention of Ecija Balompié, a historic and reputable team in southern Spain, known for competing in the Segunda B and Tercera divisions.


Now in his second season with Ecija Balompié, Kim continues to be a pivotal member of the team, showcasing his skills and standing out among young Korean soccer players in Europe.
