The Japan Coaches Association rewarded amateur coaches who accomplished remarkable feats in 2018 during the sixth annual Japan Coaches' Awards ceremony on Sunday in Tokyo.
But the event wasn't just about handing the recipients their trophies. It was also an opportunity for coaches who are members of the organization to gain inspiration from others, even those from different sports, and start thinking outside the box.
One such example is Takatoshi Kojo, the manager of the Nippon Sport Science University (NSSU) baseball team.
