"Kosuke Kitajima x Ikeo Kaoru" JATO keynote speech report report! - Part II - "I think that it is good to have a training culture originating in Japan"

Yi Yi：I think that it is only wrestling. Wrestling alone is called perfectionism? I want to win perfectly. I want to win perfectly at my own pace. I think that I do not care about anything else, yes (haha).

North Island：Can two opponents win?

Yi Yi：Haha (haha). I can not win (laugh).
(For the moderator) I say something quite like a monster (laugh).
(Even men and two opponents) will not you win? And.

North Island：Vs Wrestling If you are an amateur (even two opponents) can you win?

Yi Yi：I can not win (laugh). I can not win, I will be playing like a toy anymore.

North Island：But you also practice with male players, do you?

Yi Yi：Yes, I will. I can be played (laugh).

North Island：On purpose Do you intentionally (for men's practice) jump in?

Yi Yi：Because men are high in level. As I thought about having girls after all, I guess that I already prevailed to some extent, since there are also many parts I can do. The one who played with the athlete losing the match will become stronger.

North Island：Is not that the secret? Strength of.

Yi Yi：There is something with a high level? In front of you. I can be thrown in, but even taking one point, even a little men will be happy just being a face called "Yabe!" (Laugh). I am happy to think that "I am serious about female partner, this man."

(Does anything by men mean?) No, men do not say it because of their high pride. If I take even one point, the next will come seriously. I can get toppled by more (haha). So, injury increases.

North Island：Having been at the top level of the world for over 10 years, is there a player you haven't played against?

Yi Yi：is. On the contrary, some athletes hit hard.

North Island：Do you want to try to compete against athletes who have not hit?

Yi Yi：think. I do not want to do with a player I've done before, but I'd like to fight players who have never done and to incorporate new things.

North Island：How do you know the state of the other party? For example, there are video of the game if it is football or something.

Yi Yi：Wrestling also has pictures.

North Island：Who are the players?

Yi Yi：There may be only one game in one video.

North Island：Is there any other choice?

Yi Yi：No, I will watch a video of the game if it is a game, but in the end there are limits to the image and there are many things that I do not know if I do not feel it with my skin. However, I know the simple thing that the opponent is right handed or left handed, if there is even one game.

North Island：Swimming will be ranked in the record of annual ranking. I can not imitate myself when I analyzed swimming of other athletes. I will check whether analysis, which part of the opponent is strong, how strong the last 10 m, and how it differs from myself.

When I won the Beijing Olympics 100 m, I had other people analyze Norway's players, compared with myself "Since the other party comes out, it would be nice if I could swim in the first half Or such strategy established.

North Island：I saw my own image from around the time of junior high school students, I watched underwater images from about when I went to high school students, and analyzed my swimming. At that time, I think that there were scarcely any players analyzing images. I think that I was the first person.

Yi Yi：I think that it is about the London Olympics. Well, after the Beijing Olympics ended, I moved to a base in Tokyo and got support from JISS. Until then, I was practicing in the university in Nagoya who had been the base, and the practice environment is, of course, well prepared, and it was a feeling that nature and friends came in the practice time, but it came out to Tokyo Since then I was looking for a practice place by myself.

As I was taking the form of a practice class, I asked myself "What time practice is there?", I went for myself and went to practice. There, I got a new encounter and listened to various people's stories, and I was told that "I can do this kind of things" "I can do that too".

After having asked for support, I knew that "Oh, you can get pictures" and said "Please give me a picture", research began from there, I thought "research is funny". The number of times I visited JISS because of catching a cold or injury increased, and that something I could not do in Nagoya.

North Island：Of course, I believe it is an indispensable existence for the players, and I have learned and learned about myself more than 10 years ago through the trainer, "Learn more about the game" "Learn more about the body "I think that it is thanks to the trainer that gave me knowledge.

There are also coaches and directors, but I think that the sports world will change much more by the trainers' people going ahead. I think that the sports of Asia and Japan have become stronger so far thanks to the people of the trainers.

I think that it is supposed that many Japanese people have support and that Japanese players can fight in the world, so I hope that I can cooperate and support even more. I do not know from America or Europe, but I truly think that I really want to offer something that suits Japanese players.

North Island：I think that I want it. There should be absolutely something that "I think that it is okay with Japan to send out?"

Not necessarily incorporating the American style into the players when it is the best, there are ways of training fit for Japan in Japan.

Of course, the trainers are detailed, so I can not say greatly, but I have always believed that there may be a trainer culture where Japan will transmit to the world.

I think that the educational part is quite strong as the flow of the current sports world in Japan. Among them, although trainers go to learn knowledge, I think that there is not much that players go to learn. I would like to believe that the level of sports increases steadily as players themselves ask questions to trainers and acquire knowledge from players.

Yi Yi：It is exactly the same. Indeed, like a coach, a trainer is a necessity and it is said that it is a good existence whether it is necessary before even more, even if it comes out to the stage stage. I was also told by the trainer that I was indebted to him or I had a lot of conversations even at the mental part. I wonder if I did not have much mental training so I was able to diverge by talking with the trainer.

In the case of wrestling, players talking with coaches are few, especially in the case of Japan. In the meaning of communication, time spent with the trainer was tremendous, so I think that I would like even more trainer to come out on the stage stage.

North Island：Of course there are. Sports are familiar with the general society. I felt first when I went to the USA that he was really part of my lifestyle.

Among them, as I was talking about earlier, I felt that it was an environment where various kind of competition was done from a young age, it was an environment where I could choose a gym that suits me, or it was very different. I had training in various places, but I received the impression that it really is in various ways better than Japan.

But, of course, Japan has plenty of places other than that. It is also the case with meals, and the backup and support system to the top players in Japan such as the National Science Sports Center has become very impressive.

Yi Yi：I think that overseas players do not speak well. Coach and player, trainer and player. There is a lot of time to talk about that, I have a long time to talk about it (laugh).

First of all, it starts from the point of how it is today's situation, and I am worrying about what to do in the future, let's talk about what to do ah.

In Japan we will not communicate that far. Is not it a Japanese person to be cooked with a coach in front of me? I was scared, or there was always existence in Japan that existed that I could not say what I thought so, the thing that I was most surprised when I went to Canada is that I often speak.

Even in practice, I thought whether someone was taking a break or being driven by some people, and whether the trainer changed contacts depending on the person.

North Island：I could not do it in the USA a bit if I do not feel like turning my coach back.

Also, competition was amazing. I was practicing with the team of social workers, but it is fun to practice with players accepted from abroad, or there are not a few Japanese words like "let's do it for a while!" I think that it is supposed to have a new swimming feeling.

North Island：In the case of swimming, when you see the players in the swimming countries, such as the United States, Europe and Australia, for example, they incorporate new ones into practice, I feel that Japan really follows it.

After racing, when watching overseas players making conditions to cool their bodies quickly, Japan may be introduced from the next year. Looking at that kind of thing, I think that Japan will approach approaches only with results.

I wonder if the association needs to listen to the opinions of various people and incorporate it in order to challenge new things more and more. I think that it is okay for everyone of the athletes to make more voices about support.

Yi Yi：There are things that the players will not convey to the coach unless they speak more loudly. Therefore, we think that it is useless if our players do not have to raise their voices further, such as "I want this kind of person" or "I want such support".

Yi Yi：It is my ambition to want wrestling in more everyday life (laugh). Someday it will be a major sport like swimming.

North Island: It became a great major.

Yi Yi：No no no. (Laugh). I can still swim soon, but I can not wrestle right away. I hope to be able to contribute even in the diffusion and development as someday to be a major sports. I will do my best.

North Island：Of course I think that it is important after 2020, and I think that it is not only the Olympics, so I should be able to become a force in developing Japanese sports.

Yi Yi：After all I think Japanese people are serious. Even for exercises, in terms of meals, in terms of care, everything is serious and I think I will not compromise. I think that it is a Japanese who does not compromise whether to practice until the end in practice.

Because women's wrestling is the strongest in the world now in Japan, rather than going out, there are more people inviting foreigners, so I realize that when I did a world camp or something However, foreigners can not practice to the end even after all.

Even though Japanese are sitting down and going home because they are already tired, after all practice, the Japanese practiced staying even after the practice time had ended, and after returning after practicing the day together with the coach, returning home. The part of over training is a point to be careful, but I think if it is not there is difficult to win.

North Island：I did not want to barrel what I was thinking overseas players, so I made a deliberate wall. It is a samurai spirit unique to the island country (laugh).

In the USA and Europe, it is open and felt in the land, but I dared to compete in the world while giving out an aura that I do not know what I'm thinking, I think that such place is good in Japan.

Of course, it is also the patience strength that Mr. Ito said, deliciousness is also in Japanese, even if you are receiving treatment the best thing is to be a Japanese trainer or a doctor.

I did not do comparisons such as 'Overseas are like this' or 'Japan is like this', when I was in the United States. It seems that I admit that it is weak when I do it, I really disliked it.

But there are lots of good places in Japan. There are so many good places to eat and training as well, so I think that I want you to pick up good points and incorporate them. Completion
