Koji Murofushi, Secretary of the Japan Sports Agency, was a temporary coach at the Okinawa Camp of Nippon Professional Baseball on the 24th, a gold medalist who threw a men's hammer at the Athens Olympics at the request of director Tsuyoshi Shinjo.
Mr. Murofushi arrived at the stadium in Nago City by car with Director Shinjo before 9 am on the 24th.
Director Shinjo explained to the gathered press that "I would like you to mainly teach training in explosive power in batting and instantaneous power in pitching."
In response, Mr. Murofushi said, "I don't know if it will be useful, but I will do my best."
After that, Mr. Murofushi moved to the indoor practice area and told the players how to use the muscles around the pelvis when rotating the body with a hammer throw in the core training using the tube.
From the afternoon, Mr. Murofushi gave advice on how to make a start at the time of stealing on the ground using the instantaneous power.
Director Shinjo said, "When I saw batting, I felt that the explosive power of the players had changed. I hope that the players will come to study and grow up."
In addition, Mr. Murofushi said, "Director Shinjo was talking about the theme of transmitting power and making the most of his power, so I asked him to help me even a little. I'm not a baseball specialist, but Shinjo. The director told me that I could apply my experience from different fields to baseball, and I thought I was seriously thinking about sports and baseball. "
