Teikyo University Ekiden Club is proud to announce that its director, Takayuki Nakano, will be featured on the documentary program "One’s way: Seekers of Knowledge." The broadcast is scheduled for Saturday, January 13, 2024, starting at 11:00 p.m.
Notably, the Ekiden Club, under Coach Nakano's guidance, has secured participation in the 25th Hakone Ekiden for an impressive 17th consecutive year, coinciding with its 100th-anniversary milestone. Nakano, a former Hakone Ekiden competitor turned coach, rose from a challenging period of unemployment in his mid-30s, marking the inception of his managerial success.
Previously employed at a special needs school, Nakano draws inspiration from the belief instilled by children with disabilities that "no one exists without meaning." His coaching style, known as "Nakano Magic," has gained recognition for transforming unknown players into top-class performers by their third and fourth years.
Explore the depths of Coach Takayuki Nakano's coaching philosophy and the secrets behind "Nakano Magic" on the BS Asahi documentary program "One’s way: Seekers of Knowledge" airing on Saturday, January 13, 2024.
