Coach Takao is truly a master at naturally bringing out children’s motivation and that inner spark of “I want to get better!”As a parent, I was deeply moved and amazed by the clear difference between teaching and true coaching — something I hadn’t fully understood before.A coach who can do this is truly rare and valuable.He’s always cheerful, gives his all, and I trust him completely.

Thanks to Coach Takao’s motto of “Let’s enjoy soccer together!”, there are always smiles on our child’s face. Under the watchful and caring eye of his favorite coach, our son plays freely and with confidence — he’s more passionate about soccer than ever. The lessons are not just about improving skills. They also nurture kindness, a positive attitude, and teamwork with his peers. We recently had the chance to join an online lesson, and it was incredibly engaging — the kids stayed focused and fully involved until the very end. Coach Takao genuinely values each and every child. As a parent, I feel so grateful and reassured to have such a wonderful coach guiding our son. We truly appreciate everything, and look forward to what’s ahead.

Coach Takao was our sons’ very first coach. Through his guidance, they not only discovered the joy of playing soccer, but also learned the importance of perseverance and the value of teamwork. That foundation became their driving force, and even now—at 19 and 16 years old—they continue playing in the NPL. There were times when continuing soccer became difficult, but Coach Takao’s support helped them through. In recent years, he has also helped broaden their perspective as coaches themselves, teaching them how to communicate with and support younger players. We are truly grateful for everything they have learned through soccer with Coach Takao.
