On October 29th, C.R.O. Nakata (hereinafter referred to as Coach Nakata) participated in the Hitachi School.
Upon arriving at the Hitachi Research Laboratory Omika Gymnasium grounds, the practice venue for the Hitachi School, Coach Nakata immediately joined the children in kicking the ball. From the initial game of tag in the training session, he was playing seriously. During the games, he gently passed the ball to his teammates, called out each child's name, and played while communicating with them. From 4:30 PM, when he arrived at the practice venue, until 8:00 PM, Coach Nakata was almost continuously running, and despite sweating profusely, he continued to coach the children.
During breaks, the autograph and photo sessions were incredibly popular, with long lines of children and parents happily receiving autographs and posing for photos.
Also, Coach Nakata personally presented each child with a "Special Drawstring Bag" that was provided by Joyo Bank since October.
