Achievements and Awards

From my experience as a gymnast, I have progressed to become a coach and has published numerous papers on Movement instruction. In 2018, I received the Society Award (Encouragement Award) from the Japan Society of sports Movement and Behaviour for my paper "The development of new presentation material and their role in movement teaching."
From 2023, I'm conducting joint research with Queensland University of Technology(QUT) in Australia.

Research Overview

My research involves considering how athletes who are presented with scientific data and videos can embody this in practice in sports. By examining kinesthetic sensations, also known as knack or perception, from a phenomenological standpoint, we can derive practical theories that teachers and coaches in the field need.
From 2023, I'm discussing kinesthetic teaching methods with overseas researchers involved in sports coaching.

Message

One of my favorite words is "keigan" (insight). This can be interpreted as the ability to see through the essence of things, or insight. Sports activities involve "learning movements by moving yourself" and "teaching those movements to others." I believe that my life's work is to explore the essence of instruction in these activities. I would like to deepen my understanding by interacting with many people.
