Life in India is a series of precious experiences and something unexpected happens every day. Therefore, how to get over the current situation happily is one of themes of my life in India.

I run a series of practices such as Defence, Breakdown, Off road, Handling and Unit practice which I pick and choose as needed. However, after being here for a while, we don’t only focus on individual skills, but we also focus on weaknesses and turn them around as their strengths. 

Seeing them every day makes our relationship closer, but I have also realized that by me trying to speak a little Hindu, I have been successful in making them feel relaxed during the practice. 

Off the field, there are only words of gratitude to the players. They are very welcoming and warm because they invite me to their home, take me to Taj Mahal and so on.

I did not know anything about rugby in India and the national team before coming, but they work very hard and are positive which reminds me of the grass root of rugby.

I would like to do my best to be a bridge between India Rugby and Japan Rugby.
