The last year in my twnties is coming. Then I just looked back my life.
I was absorbed in soccer day and night in my early-teens. I started my soccer career with "Captain Tsubasa", Japanese soccer comic. I was selected to all-city team of my living area but I broke my knee when I entered high school. So I couldn't play as well as my junior high school days anymore. But I kept playing soccer through my university life and days of working for IBM, where I made a soccer club.
I can say I like soccer in confident.
What I acquire through such soccer.
The ability to "work hard" even when I am alone and "creativity" that was fostered through the practice by myself.
Soccer is team sports but individual technique speaks on each front. I came 30 minutes earlier than other team-mates to improve my skill and I practiced hard even on weekend by myself. As a result, I was in charge of free-kick in all-city team.
Through the practice by myself, I could train my "creativity" because there is no one who didn't work for me so that I had to sharpen my creativity.
"Effort" and "Creativity", these are the abilities that I acquired through soccer training and also my weapons through all my life.
