02 / BACKGROUND
Supporting the Team Through Expertise.
I started skiing in first grade, but I never competed in skiing.
My competitive background is in baseball, which I played for 13 years from fourth grade through my final year of university.
My connection with TEAM BANKEI began when my child joined the team as an athlete.
Although I had no previous experience coaching physical training specifically for skiing, moguls, or aerials, I had continued studying training and conditioning.
I wanted to give something back to the athletes through what I had learned, and in 2024 I began supporting the team's physical training.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Developing physical capabilities
Building a body that can train and compete consistently
Research and knowledge in sports nutrition
Training and conditioning
TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Start with the Purpose. Tailor the Process.
In physical training, I believe the first step is to clearly understand the purpose behind each exercise.
From there, we should choose methods that are effective for achieving that purpose and continue working consistently over time.
Every athlete has different physical needs, and the same training program does not produce the same results for everyone.
That is why I try to understand each athlete's individual characteristics, share the purpose of the training with them, and work through the process together.
05 / SUPPORTING ATHLETES
Build the Body That Supports Better Training.
I want athletes to understand that physical training is just as important as technical training and to take ownership of both.
Winning competitions is not the only measure of an athlete.
I have great respect for athletes who approach training with initiative, awareness, and a genuine desire to improve themselves.
I believe learning to take responsibility for your own physical development can contribute not only to better performance, but also to personal growth.
06 / MESSAGE
Let's Become Physical Monsters Together.
There is no question that technical skill plays a major role in moguls and aerials.
At the same time, physical preparation is essential for athletes to continue developing those skills, train consistently, and reduce the risk of injury.
In an age where training information is everywhere, I believe it is important to stay grounded in the fundamentals while also incorporating new and effective methods when appropriate.
My goal is to help each athlete build the physical foundation that suits them best.
Let's become physical monsters together.
