First and foremost I would like to say Happy New Year!

It is now a new decade, and I cannot wait for what it has installed for me and the team!

With the 2020 Tokyo Olympic coming ever so near I can feel the excitement rising in Japan. The country is busy making preparations for the big event, and I can see all around me the new developments being made.

For 2020 I hope for our team to grow stronger, tighter, and determine. As a team, I hope to achieve many things, but one thing I want to be able to do is to show people my passion for playing volleyball. I recently had a meeting with an old graduate of Keio University who also attended my Faculty Environmental and Information Studies, and is currently works at the IMG company. One important thing that I took away from that meeting is to “To be passionate about what you do. To show others that you are a passionate person.” Cause if you do that your life is going to be so much more meaningful. If your going to live why not live passionately? Why not live a more colorful and exciting life? What’s stopping you?

My passion for volleyball escalated dramatically once joining the team in Keio, and now with the new 2020 team, it has escalated even more! With new roles being given came with new challenges, and I have made mistakes already, but I hope that I will get better, and be able to uphold the Keio pride.

I cannot wait for what else I will be learning and achieving in 2020!
