Director Shinjo started

The inaugural press conference on November 4 strongly impressed Mr. Shinjo's return to professional baseball.

Director Shinjo


"Don't call me the director. Big boss! I'm going to change Nippon-Ham and I'm back with the desire to change professional baseball."

Immediately started teaching Shinjo style at the autumn camp.



I climbed the roof of the car to instruct the height of the thrown ball and let the outfield players protect the infield.

Director Shinjo


"Rampaging! Really! From now on, it's not the Central League, not the major, not the Pacific League, Tsuyoshi Shinjo."

Skillful word selection

Why is Shinjo's words so impressive?



I asked Takashi Saito, a professor at Meiji University who is also a professional baseball enthusiast and author of "Japanese I Want to Read Aloud".

Professor Saito


"I was drawn to the press conference when I was inaugurated as the director. I felt like I couldn't take my eyes off. I instantly selected the best vocabulary and brought the best one. This ability is usually I can't see it for a moment. "

Mr. Saito, who was shocked by the press conference, first paid attention to this word.

Director Shinjo


"I don't aim to win at all. I've been practicing soberly day by day and spending casual games and casual days to win. I won, I won, I won, I won. So around September If you're fighting for the championship, come on! Try to win the championship. "

Professor Saito


"I think" I don't aim to win at all "is" that? "" "I think it's



a rare type from the Japanese way of using Japanese. It's a common order for Japanese people to come out, but Mr. Shinjo brings in the words that he thinks "Eh" first. There aren't many people who use such catchy words. "



"

I'll

definitely win. The economy is good, but it makes the players wither. "First of all, one win of the day, one win of the day." I think it's a word that I said thinking about the players. "

The qualities of supervision are also "sufficient"

During Shinjo's active career, he gained popularity due to his unrivaled competitiveness, his splendid defense, and his unexpectedness.



Mr. Saito says that he has sufficient qualifications not only as a player but also as a manager.

Professor Saito said to


Kotaro Kiyomiya at the autumn camp, "If you lose weight," he said, "I feel like the ball won't fly when I lose weight." say not by "and. and such a thing to say you or I span about that. it is, Qing Palace will extend better to say the rigors Me than pamper for the players. I think it 's kind of judgment that I"



"on the other hand Teru Yoshida I'm telling Hoshi that "I can't hit if I was active, it's so fast." I think it's probably because I thought that Yoshida needed confidence. I am commenting according to my current personality and situation. "

What is the "power of words" that moves people?

And it was this word that Professor Saito was most impressed with.

Director Shinjo


"Dreams are big, roots are thick"

Professor Saito:


"'Dreams are big, roots are thick.' This left an impression on me. For Japanese people, Shichigocho has a good rhythm and is easy to remember. It's a memorable word. I think it has a lot of commentary power."

Jiro Inoue Anna


What is the contrast between "dream" and "root"?

Professor Saito


"I think that the roots show a modest practice of refining the skills as a realist. Dreams grow up and roots grow down. Make the roots thicker and thicker. Let's solidify the foundation. This is a sober practice. I think it's a nice slogan with the idea of ​​Shinjo Big Boss tightly packed. "

Jiro Inoue Anna


Shinjo's words are studded with many positive words such as "dream" and "fun".

Director Shinjo


"Towards a


dream

"

"Dreams are big"


"Finding fun"


"Fun and strict"

Professor Saito


"Words have power. They remain in the hearts of those who hear them and act. Negative words and negative words will do so. The future leaders will be I think that director Shinjo will be a symbol because I think we need something like brightness, empathy, and transmission. "

Jiro Inoue Anna


On the other hand, by uttering words, responsibility also comes out.

I don't think there is any fear of that ...

Professor Saito:


"We don't like being told that we're not doing what we say, so I think we have a habit of saying it sparingly. Mr. Shinjo has a lot of that. After saying a lot, I think that I should take responsibility for myself, so I think that I have clarified how to take responsibility first. "



" It's a one-year contract that I dared to offer. The one-year contract is very prepared. I think it's clear to the players that they are playing a game with a one-year contract while saying that they are not aiming for the championship. Since the method of taking responsibility is also clarified, I think it is possible to go on the offensive. "

Director Shinjo


"We will create a new baseball game. Stay tuned."

It takes courage to say something that you have taken the plunge.



However, Mr. Saito said that by saying "I want to do this", a sense of responsibility grows, ideas are born, and it leads to the strength of the organization.



It was an interview that felt the power of words again.
