profile
Takeyuki Tadokoro
I believe kicking is
the most fundamental skill in football.
However, scientific knowledge on kicking is still insufficient for practice,
and kicking training is not well organised, at least in Japan.
This is why I started working as a kicking coach.
My career goal is to provide high quality training to as many players as possible, both professional and amateur,
who want to improve their technique.
