Chairman Wang enthusiastically told the players at the general meeting before the camp in
Softbank entered Miyazaki on the 31st for the camp in on February 1st. After arriving, a general meeting was held at the dormitory, and Sadaharu Oh, the chairman of the team and a special team adviser, were also on stage. In addition to waving a 12-minute enthusiastic speech, he distributed a “secret book” to the players, describing the experiences and thoughts of Chairman Wang.
Last year, Softbank sank into B class for the first time in eight years. This year, Chairman Wang has been given the title of “Special Team Advisor” in order to get closer to the scene. For the season to win the league and regain the best in Japan, “I was so frustrated last year, I don’t feel when I won, but I think it’s good to win, I think it’s miserable to lose. As I say, the result is everything in our world. What I want to say is to study how to get the result. I will definitely win the league this year and become the best in Japan. “
The tone of Chairman Wang gradually became hot. What I told the players was the importance of thinking for myself and making my own decisions. “I’m the only one who helps me. The coach tells me, but it doesn’t let me hit. I’m the one who does good pitching and good batting. I put the data there. Make a decision to keep it alive. It’s okay to pitch “This is it!”. When another ball comes, you can strike out and go home. Professionals make that much decision. I need it. “
The story extended to the pitchers. “The same goes for the pitcher. If you get to bases loaded and two-three, you have to throw it in the middle. If you think you should be hit, you can’t help yourself. It’s not the pitcher’s fault because you lost. The responsibility lies with the manager. Players should use their own strength. ” All the players have to do is believe in and demonstrate their strength. He emphasized that the responsibility for winning and losing lies with the director and other leaders.
In addition, the players were given a “direct message” by Chairman Wang. It seems that it is placed in the room of the leaders and each player, and the chairman of the world’s home baseball player himself wrote, “I can read when I can’t sleep, because I can always sleep.” I think it’s definitely going to be bad. It’s something I wrote after I’ve been playing baseball for 60 years. Even after 100 years, I think it’s true as long as I have baseball. I’m so confident. ” It’s so much to say. Only the person who sees the contents knows the contents, but it can be said that it is the best “teaching material” filled with the experience, thoughts, and beliefs of Chairman Wang.
“Because I’ve entered this world, I have to make a flower bloom. The coach won’t do it well. I’ll do it myself and make results. It’s all myself, I’ll do it myself. I will do it with the feeling that I will do it, “said Chairman Wang, who enthusiastically told the players. An important discipline to regain the throne. With the teachings of Chairman Wang, Softbank Nine will start a tough month.
