00:00When the coach sees overall, our team is the first coach.
00:04Can you see how we can do it?
00:07Yes, of course.
00:08Because our players have a desire for the future.
00:12But in terms of the mentality, we have to make them stronger.
00:19They are stronger from the character, body language.
00:22There are more exposure to this year.
00:26We have to talk a lot about their confidence.
00:33So they don't feel like they have to lower themselves.
00:38Because they already have the level.
00:41But sometimes they will lower themselves in the future.
00:44For this year, Coach Knet has a lot of control for the ranking of course.
00:50But for the future, we will evaluate until December.
00:54Coach, if you look at the sector of women's senior,
00:59Women's senior, we are successful with players who are top.
01:04So how long do we need to fight?
01:07At least, $10,500 to the top.
01:09Okay, I came in with the process of being long.
01:13Our players are still 21-22.
01:16The players are still 19.
01:18So I think we need time to develop their ranking for the future.
01:27When they have the ranking, we will push them to the top.
01:31We need to say there are tools that we need to play to play.
01:38Like physical, technical, etc.
01:41Maybe Coach can give us some assessment about 1-inching and 1-fighting?
01:48Yeah.
01:49This is still a long process.
01:53We can see the difference between Okuhara and 1-inching.
01:57For the first time, it's the time of shooting.
01:58It's the time of shooting.
01:59It's the time of shooting.
02:00Like punch clear.
02:01Like punching clear.
02:02All we have to adapt to next level.
02:05So we're now focused on something like that.
02:09So from the physical, I feel that everything is okay, but from the mentality of the weapon from other countries, we have to adapt.
02:19If Okohara, how do we want to kill it from the weapon that we need to have a good weapon?
02:28So from the physical, I want players to understand the way we want to take points from a stable player.
