“Sincerity” Masayo Shin Ozeki facing weakness September 30, 18:27

"Sincerity Consistency".


The words that Masayo chose for his communication-style speech express "a way of life that goes through sincerity."

I could see the determination to take on the position of Ozeki as a life-sized self, who seems to be a Masayo who has been recognizing his weaknesses and continuing to face them sincerely.

Keep an eye on "weakness"

"Negative wrestler"


Shodai was once talked about in this way.


A bearish remark at the new Juryo press conference, "I don't want to hit everyone as much as possible."

While raising the ranking in the Makuuchi, he kept his modest attitude so that he could repeatedly say "I'm not very strong mentally" and "backward".

However, such an aspect may be one of the factors of the strength of Shodai.

I have continued to make efforts to become stronger by facing my life-sized self, saying, "I am not strong at all."

From around May this year, I thoroughly trained mainly on the lower body, rebuilt my body from scratch, and gained the pressure to make a mistake.

In the first place of this year, the place in July, and while participating in the battle for the championship, I dropped the star as if I was crushed by the pressure at the end of the game, but in the autumn place, "Thanks to that experience, how to bring feelings I got it, "and won the first victory without wasting the experience of facing the pressure.


I have continued to grow steadily step by step without looking away from my "weakness".

“More than ever”

The word "sincerity and coherence" spoken in a communication style means to maintain integrity.

It was the word of the original way of life, which has been striving to overcome weaknesses without decorating oneself.


The expression of Shodai in the transmission ceremony was hard from beginning to end, and it seemed that he felt responsibility and pressure for his position as Ozeki.



Even so, Masayo told himself, "I'm in a position where I can't lose more than ever, and I want to work harder than ever."

If we don't work harder than ever, we won't be able to achieve enough results to match our position as Ozeki.

I felt the sincerity of the Shodai Naoya, who never talked about unfounded confidence.

“You can only take sumo”

This kind of positive humanity can also be seen in the attitude of facing the people who support us.

At the press conference after the promotion, I was asked about the fact that disasters such as earthquakes and heavy rains are occurring one after another in my hometown, Kumamoto, "I think I was able to deliver energetic news because bad news continues. I hope I can be encouraged even a little. "



On the other hand, I was also talking about this.

(Masayo)


"It's not because there was a disaster, but I always have the feeling that I'm for the locals. There's little I can do and I can only wrestle."



Behind humility , I could see the strength of the core.

“First as Ozeki”

When asked, "Are you aware of your higher position?", Masayo set foot on the ground without saying "Yokozuna," saying, "It's difficult at this stage. I want to solidify my position as Ozeki." I didn't lose my posture.

In order to assume the responsible position of Ozeki, Masayo should continue to grow.

As a "negative sumo wrestler", he will humbly and sincerely leave results suitable for Ozeki.

Beyond that, I can't help but expect that the challenge of "upper position" will come into view.
