Creating the Best System for Athletes to Achieve Their Goals
My dream is to share the moment athletes achieve their goals and celebrate with them. To that end, I’m working to establish a “global management” business that supports them. Professional athletes are often isolated. They constantly think, train, and fight daily to reach their goals, meet expectations, and, above all, to conquer themselves. I will create an environment where they can focus on their sport and build a system that can actualize their aspirations to compete on the world stage.
