Personal Achievements and Goals

 

As for my personal achievements, I have been coaching several many top ranked athletes including Olympians such as Ai Ueda. In the Japan Triathlon Union, I have been chairing the high performance committee more than 10 years.

As a nominee of ITU Coaches Committee I propose the following four goals.

1. To improve the performance of athletes from Asian countries.
   In order for the further success of ITU, it is crucial to bottom-up the public awareness of triathlon and the number of high performance athletes in Asian countries.
   Therefore, I contribute to improve the competitiveness of triathlon in the region by cooperating with other partner countries in ASTC (Asian Triathlon Confederation).
   
   
2. To increase the number of countries participating in the future Olympic games from Asian region. In the past four Olympic games, NOC from the Asian region is the following.
   
   Sydney/ 3 NOCs (Japan, China, Kazakhstan)
   Athens/ 4NOCs (Japan, China, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong China)
   Beijing/ 3NOCs (Japan, China, Hong Kong China)
   London/ 3NOCs（Japan, China, Korea)
   
   Therefore, in order to increase NOC from this region to the Rio de Janeiro Olympic games 2016, I cooperate with coaches in other countries by sharing information and contribute to improve the performance of athletes from the Asian region.
   
   
3. To promote the public relation of triathlon to be seen as an exciting sport.
   I emphasize on promoting a mix relay race. In addition, I contribute to adopt new regulation, course setting, and PRIME by collaborating with technical committee members to make triathlon the more exciting sport.
   
   
4. To emphasize on anti-doping act
   Anti-doping act is doubtlessly essential in order for the further development of triathlon. I emphasize on the educational campaign to go against the usage of illegal performance enhancement procedures.
