"How to Build a Perpetual Winning Team" Teppei Higashi Price: ¥1980 #TeppeiHigashi #Teppei_Higashi #Book #JapaneseLiterature/Novels/Stories Teppei Higashi, in his 11th year as the coach of Tsuruga Kehi High School, has led the team to Koshien 11 times. Despite the handicap of spending three months in an indoor practice facility during the winter, the team achieved the first national championship for a Hokuriku team, twice reaching the best 4 and once the best 8. The entire team, with high goals and strong determination, undertakes rigorous training, sometimes to the point of being unreasonable. By consistently continuing this tradition, a "transmission of strength" is born. A serious coaching philosophy dedicated to creating a "winning team." Since I became the coach in the fall of 2011, Tsuruga Kehi has participated in either the spring or summer Koshien (or both) every year except for 2017. In the 2015 Senbatsu (Spring Koshien), thanks to the efforts of the players, we were able to achieve the first national championship for a Hokuriku team. Perhaps because we go to Koshien every year, people around us think, "It's natural for Tsuruga Kehi to go to Koshien." I am grateful that everyone thinks that way, but the pressure is also great. Every year, I spend sleepless nights during the summer tournament. Also, from December to February in winter, Tsuruga is covered in snow, so we can hardly practice outdoors. We spend three months confined to two small indoor practice facilities, relentlessly continuing our training. This is a considerable handicap compared to teams that can practice outdoors all year round. But we were able to become the best in Japan in the spring Senbatsu. In this book, I would like to talk in detail about how we became a regular Koshien school and how we grew to achieve the first national championship for a Hokuriku team.
