Though the NFL players and coaches at the Pro Bowl are in relaxed mode with their season wrapped up, a pair of Japanese coaches are as serious as can be, trying to absorb every moment of this valuable opportunity.
Sojiro Kido and Ryoma Hagiyama have been invited by the NFL and the Hawaii Tourism Authority to participate in the Pro Bowl to gain experience from the game's highest stage.
Both Kido and Hagiyama have been here since Monday and have been given access to coaches' meetings, team practices and Sunday's game at Aloha Stadium.
