Tanaka Amato
Graduated from Fukuoka First High School, a private school in Fukuoka Prefecture.
With important friends who help us compete and motivate each other,
I am building up my expertise and skills to achieve my dream.
tell me!
Why did you choose this department?
Involved in sports from a supporting role
I aspired to become an athletic trainer because it allows me to be involved in sports even if I'm not an athlete myself. I thought that taking three years to obtain the necessary qualifications would suit me best.
Resort＆Sports College Top Recommendation Points
You can gain experience through extensive on-the-job training.
I work as a trainer for junior and senior high school club teams. I explain things from the perspective of the body's structure, encouraging everyone to strive for improvement themselves. It's a valuable practical experience that deepens my own learning.
Please tell me your dreams for the future!
Become the most well-known trainer
My goal is to become a trusted trainer for a professional basketball team. In a few decades, I want to be a legendary figure in the world of trainers.
