On the day of the event, Mitsuo Ogasawara, Academy Advisor, was invited, and approximately 100 school students and their friends, ranging from kindergarten year-group to 6th graders, participated.
Before the event began, each grade level took a commemorative photo with Ogasawara A.A.
This event centered around games, with Ogasawara A.A. also playing alongside the children. Through the games, he gave advice on mental aspects, such as the importance of being competitive and never giving up, as well as technical aspects, like "don't just kick randomly" and "find open spaces."
During the game, Ogasawara A.A. captivated the venue with his play, dribbling with juggling and aggressively aiming for goals, drawing cheers from the parents!
The children, not to be outdone, fiercely tried to steal the ball from Ogasawara A.A. and showed great determination to score. They fell, got back up, and continued to try and win the ball, demonstrating incredible energy!
After the event, Ogasawara A.A. spoke to the participating children by grade level about their attitude towards practice and the mindset of aiming for the top team, concluding the event.
