■ Background of sponsorship of “PERSOL THE LAST GAME”
In the professional baseball world, about 100 players retire every year. At the time of retirement, which is inevitable for players, there are very few players who can hold retirement ceremonies and retirement games. Each player has a different baseball life, and it is a fact that fans will inevitably feel sad when their favorite player retires.
The Persol Group hopes to provide fans who have supported them and their families who have supported them by saying, “We want to provide a place where the retiring athletes can show their final appearance.” We want to express our gratitude to the players who have been involved in the competition.” We agreed with SKY PerfecTV!
In this match, the spotlight will be shined on each player to celebrate their life as a player, and the tournament ambassadors Shinya Ueda (Cream Stew) and Yusuke Uechi, and composer Jintoshio as the official support leader will support the match. We will cooperate with the Nippon Professional Baseball OB Club and everyone else to make this special day more exciting.
In addition, before the game, a “talk show to think about career development after retiring from professional baseball (provisional)” will be held. , We will support the new step of all retired players.

While working styles and careers are diversifying, many athletes are hesitant about their careers after their careers, as athletes have few opportunities to gain business knowledge and experience as members of society during their careers. In this talk show, together with the two PERSOL THE LAST GAME 2022 ambassadors, we will discuss examples of second careers, weapons and strengths that are useful for business gained from baseball, create opportunities to expand the range of career choices after retirement, and create contacts with businesses. I’m going to think about it. *The content of the talk is subject to change.

■ PERSOL GROUP Athlete Career Support
Until now, there has been a deep-rooted stereotype in Japanese sports instruction and education that athletes should concentrate on their sport. Athletes were not provided with opportunities to fully think about their careers, such as being suddenly forced to think about “beyond active duty” when retiring.
Therefore, the Persol Group believes that the “strengths” that athletes have cultivated through their experiences can be demonstrated in their future careers. We have been promoting initiatives to support the careers of athletes, such as “Lectures.”
*Operates “SPORT LIGHT”, a website that provides opportunities for career change by learning about jobs in the sports industry
https://doda.jp/sportlight/athlete/
* Participated in the human resource development program for athletes “HEROs ACADEMIA” run by The Nippon Foundation

The PERSOL Group will continue to expand career options for all people and aim for a world where everyone can work in their own way, aiming to realize the group vision of “Work and Laugh.” We will implement support and measures.
