Creating a continuous road-Challenge to build a second career

-Skiing / snowboarding moves people's hearts
From the age of 13 when I started staring at myself, I continued to search for what I loved
It was when I was 19 that I met skiing that pleased my mind and body.
The goal at that time was "to become famous for skiing and to be a person who moves people's hearts".
And at the age of 24, he turned to snowboarding in Whistler, Canada.
The goal has changed to "becoming a world-class rider"
After all, my biggest thought was "to move people's hearts".

-Raising children who shine brilliantly while interacting with their favorite children
Six years after starting snowboarding, the Olympics,
Immediately after that, burnout syndrome and cervical spine injury.
Stop your mind and body, and with a wide field of vision
The answer I found by staring at myself was
He wanted to get involved with his favorite children.

17 years after that, "bringing up a shining child"
The first goal is to make a way from the first time to the world,
There are a lot of kids snowboarders now,
The number of people and the environment working on raising kids has increased,
The road pioneered by everyone is wide and strong,
I'm really happy that various roads have been created.
If you notice, you are 46 years old!
Naturally, I wanted to challenge myself to make the next road.
Players, training, and making the way to the continuation.

-Creating a second career in your favorite place.
“Building a second career for athletes” is an issue for various sports.
The same is true for snowboarding, even if you are an active professional snowboarder.
Only a few people can only snowboard all year round.
Most snowboarders are for snowboarding and living
I earn income from part-time jobs other than snowboarding.
After retiring from active duty, like any other athlete,
It is even more difficult to live by making use of experience.

I myself have been thinking about this for a long time.
While making use of my experience with my favorite people in my favorite place
What is useful for people and society?
I want to live a life that is only once, without binding myself, and freely drawing dreams.
I love Karuizawa, which has nature and attracts many people throughout the year.
I want to connect with Canada / Whistler, which is a sister city and raised me.
Throughout the year, we will contribute to society and the community while making the most of our experience.
I will try to challenge based on Karuizawa.
