people's lives were about to CHANGE

ao ashi 304 absolutely loved this insight from shiba through kuribayashi's story and how it further enhances the idea that the sport goes beyond physicality and heavily relies on thinking and planning ahead, which diversifies what kinds of players exist

while nozomi and fukuda ended up coaching, shiba also did a similar job but his role was on the field as opposed to the sidelines. i think younger players need that kind of guidance as well since there's a diff perspective that comes from playing as opposed to watching
