I worked with top athletes in the world, first-class people... and then I immediately got a high fever. Am I a child? lol.
My job is to facilitate his communication (English and Japanese). I don't interpret. I facilitate. Facilitation varies from person to person, but for me, in addition to preparation, I need to understand the other person's concepts and encourage the breakdown and construction of communication, so I have to be super alert. Fortunately, I have facilitated for two coaches from the world's top league (NFL) before.
However, this time it's not a coach but a former player, a top athlete, so the feeling is exquisite. Along with a wonderful personality, there are also parts that are, in a good way, unusual. I felt that what he emphasizes, while seemingly clear at first glance, is actually in the delicate points. And after he returned to Japan, I got a high fever. lol.
Even while I was in bed with a fever, I was still thinking in my dreams about how I should act to understand and reflect the athlete's intentions. He's already gone, though. lol
That athlete used to play professionally in front of tens of thousands of people and had incredible contracts... I don't know how to put it, but it's not about the money, but I witnessed firsthand that 'first-class means winning by a landslide.' I am grateful to the people who gave me this experience.
Somehow, I was confronted with myself as an artist who still has many areas to improve mentally, technically, and academically. While I had a fever, an idea suddenly struck me. That's right, I will break through myself. I strongly felt that I want to do that there. I will prepare. That's what I'm thinking.
