Appeared on YouTube run by students and showed outstanding teaching theory
Toru Hirata, the former coach of Yokohama High School, is now restarting with the aim of recovering the baseball population. Currently, while working in education, he cooperates with his students to disseminate the knowledge and experience he has cultivated so far on SNS. The company is trying to expand the base of the competition by presenting baseball equipment to preschoolers with profits. We approached the restart.
Mr. Hirata chose an opportunity to give back to baseball because it was a place unrelated to the training and technical guidance of players as before. This is because he believes that “childhood is important” in order to stop the accelerating decline in the baseball population.
“You just have to make it feel fun. I wanted to create an opportunity for children to touch bats and balls. Of course, other sports are fine, but I was raised in baseball and baseball I think it’s a great sport, so I want to spread it. “
Mr. Hirata participated in Koshien twice in Yokohama, a prestigious high school baseball championship, and was also the captain in the third year. After graduating from International Budo University, he served as a coach and director at his alma mater, Yokohama High School. I became a director in the fall of 2015. In the fierce battlefield of Kanagawa Prefecture, he has participated in the summer Koshien for three consecutive years since 2016, and has produced professional baseball players.
However, in the fall of 2019, the director was dismissed due to reports of rants to the players. High school has also retired. Approximately two years have passed since the turmoil, “I was upset by the great news. However, it is a fact that I approached the players with a strict attitude. I was losing my feelings. I may have had a problem from a small crack because I was emotionally angry with the player. I regret that I scolded him too hard. ” He had built it, but he invited such a situation and expressed his apology.
For more than 10 years, Motonori Watanabe, a former director, and Kiyoichiro Ogura, a former director, who made the history of Yokohama High School, stood together on the ground every day to study. “Of course, there’s no doubt that you’re based on two baseball players, in which I sought the power and speed needed for the coming era. It’s not inherited from the viewer. I’m sorry that it wasn’t linked to the result of the national tournament. “
Meanwhile, it was Mr. Ryoken Takahashi, a student of the Yokohama High School, who lost his usual baseball-centered life and called out to him while he could not see the future. It was an invitation to give back to baseball and distribute baseball technical guidance on YouTube as one of the social contribution activities. Although he thanked his students for trying to create a place to play baseball, Mr. Hirata was at a loss.
