Yesterday, Mr. Toshihisa Iijima, the right-hand man of Coach Stojkovic and former Nagoya Grampus top team coach, who has been active as a J Leaguer for the first time in a while, visited the clinic and talked about lung activity, athletes' second careers, and training.

When I was an active coach at Nagoya Grampus, I brought Soji Taguchi, who had been selected for the Japan national team, to the clinic and, since he was a talented player, I was entrusted with training and guidance to help him improve his physical strength.Taguchi rapidly improved his physique through autonomic nerve training in which he stopped all stretching, and he became a regular player, had great success, and was named to the Japanese national team.

Coach Iijima's ability to identify talent has been remarkable ever since then, and last year he coached Chubu Daiichi High School and led them to victory in the Aichi National High School Soccer Tournament.
