00:04I've got to land this.
00:06I've got to land this.
00:08I have to.
00:10I refuse to accept that I can't do it.
00:13It has to be now.
00:14Land it.
00:51Okay, how are you feeling?
00:53Did you sleep all right?
00:54Yeah, I feel great.
00:56Then off we go.
00:57Yes!
01:00Are you okay?
01:01Yeah, all good.
01:02It's not my ribs, don't worry.
01:04It's just a bit cramped in the car.
01:07That makes sense though,
01:08because your legs are like five meters long or something, aren't they?
01:11Uh, no.
01:12Do you think I'm some kind of monster?
01:18The sun is all sparkly.
01:24Welcome to Niigata Prefecture.
01:26Yay!
01:43I don't know where to go.
01:48I don't know where to go.
01:58I don't know where to go.
02:02I don't know where to go.
02:09I don't know where to go.
02:14I don't know where to go.
02:18I don't know where to go.
02:23I don't know where to go.
02:25All I need you to do.
02:26Yeah, watch me.
02:28This isn't me.
02:30I got nothing.
02:34But it is fire
02:36I'll show you
02:38What I can do
02:40You watch me
02:42I know
02:43For you to be
02:44Call on the
02:46Yeah, I got nothing
02:50Yeah, I got nothing
02:51But it is fire
02:52I'll show you
02:54What I can do
02:59One of their letters fell off
03:03You don't see a lot of rings
03:05That feel this old, do you?
03:07I wonder if this is an older facility
03:09That they decided to add a ring to later on
03:11Good morning
03:14Coach Obuchi
03:15Thanks for making the time for us today
03:17Thank you for making the trip
03:19Get ready for some high seas action
03:22He's so reassuring
03:23Bless you for visiting us
03:25From your magical alien planet
03:29Coach, is this a private booking just for me?
03:32Actually, it's way cheaper here than it is in Nagoya
03:35So, yeah
03:37I've never gotten the whole ring all to myself before
03:40You ready to rock?
03:44How about we get you suited up?
03:45Turn around
03:47Oh, um, right
03:48Thank you
03:56Inari
03:58The two of you came all this way in a car, right?
04:00Did you have a good time on your road trip?
04:03Yeah, it was so much fun
04:05I'm glad
04:06And you got enough sleep?
04:08We slept in the car
04:09But you can put the back seats down flat
04:10So it's like a bed
04:12Oh, but Coach is kind of big, right?
04:14So I think he was a little uncomfortable
04:16All folded up in there
04:17He's chatting with her to help her relax before they start working on any jumps
04:21It's good to see her smiling
04:25Having a harness on
04:27It kind of feels like wearing a seatbelt in the car
04:33Let's start with the Salcow, your best jump
04:35You can go for it anytime
04:36I'll be ready for you
04:38Okay
04:39I'm great at Salcow's
04:41I love that jump
04:42Breathe out
04:44And
04:51Well done
04:52And here I was expecting you to do a single
04:54Really?
04:55Oh, I'm sorry
04:56The sheer epicness
04:58I can't take it
05:00Okay
05:00Now let's take a look at your Lutz
05:02Okay
05:03The Lutz
05:05We came all the way to Niigata
05:07Just so she could land a triple on this jump again
05:10Here, you're up, Coach
05:12It's fishing time
05:14Huh?
05:16What?
05:17I could see the issue in the video you sent
05:19And it will be an easy fix
05:22But it's going to take consistent work in the harness between now and the championship
05:26I can tell you how to use it all day
05:28But it won't stick if you don't practice
05:31This training session includes you
05:35Yeah, you got it
05:37I'll get my skates
05:40Coach, are you sure?
05:42Um, hey, Coach Obuchi
05:44It's just that he cracked a bone last time we used the harness together
05:47It might still be hurting
05:49I hear you
05:50But there isn't any special training for this
05:53It's a matter of trial and error
05:54You gotta take the risk and go for it
05:57I'm sorry that he's hurt
05:58Rib fractures are pretty common in our sport, though
06:01Pretty common?
06:02He may be hurting, but we need him to try
06:05Anyway
06:06I'm pretty sure he'd want to take a crack at it
06:09Even if I hadn't asked him
06:11I'm all set and ready
06:15Inori
06:15Let's go
06:20It's gonna be fine
06:21You can let Coach Tsukasa handle himself
06:31Jumps that cover a lot of distance can be difficult with the harness
06:33Since you're pulling up and away, it's hard to find your axis
06:38Accidents can happen when there's too much control applied
06:41Meanwhile, high jumps that launch straight up are much easier to get into a stable rotation
06:46Is all that making sense?
06:47Yeah
06:47So Coach, when you feel her start to pull, adjust to her speed right away
06:52Inori, you aim to make your jumps as high as possible for him
06:57Inori
06:58Yes, sir
06:59I know you're worried about my ribs
07:01But don't forget I have a background in ice dance
07:03So when you jump, I want you to really go for it
07:06Got it?
07:07Trust that I can lift you
07:09Sounds good
07:10If I fall again here, it'll freak her out
07:13There's no way that's happening
07:15No way
07:17I can't make Coach Tsukasa fall
07:19I have to jump straight up
07:20Perfectly straight
07:21High as I can
07:22Vertical
07:23Into the ceiling
07:26Okay, here I go
07:27Go ahead
07:34Hey, that double Lutz was amazing
07:36The two of you were totally in sync
07:42And now that I'm watching a little closer
07:44I think I can see why you're not landing your triples
07:47You're just a little too loosey-goosey at the very start of your leap
07:52I'm not tensing
07:53There are two things you gotta watch for in a jump
07:56Keeping your body tight to create rotation when you push off
08:00And then opening up to stop the rotation so you can land gently
08:04Snapping into that tight position is what establishes your axis in midair
08:08But you're subconsciously relaxing before you take off
08:12Starting all wobbly like that is what throws your jump off course
08:16Maybe you're just worried about getting hurt too?
08:19I'll have her jump one more time with me so you can see what I mean
08:23Sure
08:27Whenever you're ready
08:28Okay, here I go
08:38Hey, that's a triple
08:42I had to lift you kind of a lot just then
08:45It's probably gonna take some time for you to nail that without a harness
08:51Moving forward
08:52Try to remember the position that I guided you into
08:56If you keep aiming for that spot
08:57You'll naturally start to figure out whether you're tightening up too early or too late
09:02Coach, we can go over some of the tricks to lifting her
09:05She needs to get in more reps with the correct form
09:08So I want you to keep using the harness when you get back to Nagoya
09:11Okay
09:12So you got the yips
09:13Keep moving forward
09:15And return to your technique
09:17The best way to correct a bad habit is through repetition
09:20But with your very own harness
09:22As long as you can stay aware of your timing
09:24You got this, Inori
09:26Let's get you to the All Japans
09:29Thank you so much
09:31This is great
09:32I was hoping that we would at least get our double lutz back
09:35But landing the triple would be a huge scoring advantage
09:38And we could tack on a few bonuses
09:41I'm so glad we came out here
09:49Coach, can I suggest a slightly different approach to jumping?
09:53Sure
09:53Go right ahead
09:54I'm open to it
09:55Great, thank you
09:57Hey, Inori
09:58Can you come copy me?
10:00Oh, yeah
10:01You know how right before you jump
10:03You bring this arm up behind you?
10:05Uh-huh
10:06I want to try adjusting that position a little
10:09Instead of holding it here
10:10Bring it here
10:11But if I start that high
10:13Won't I swing around too much?
10:15Nah, this is the kind of jump that benefits from a lot of swinging
10:18How about this?
10:20Try it out with the Salakau first
10:22That is different to how I taught her to jump triples
10:24Wonder how this will go
10:27Now when you swing your arm back
10:28Make sure you don't lean forward
10:30Okay
10:32Cool, cool
10:32Wanna try?
10:34Yeah
10:37Swing your arm up high
10:39And jump straight up
10:43It's too fast
10:44I can't see
10:45I don't even know which direction I'm flying
10:49I'm scared
11:03Look
11:04This is how you do a quadruple jump
11:08Wait, is it really?
11:11You know, I've been thinking
11:13The Lutz is kind of tricky
11:15Because even if you don't fall
11:16You could be penalized for using your blades incorrectly
11:19So why bother trying to earn points with a Lutz at all?
11:23You could just go for another revolution on the Salakau instead
11:26You know?
11:26A quadruple?
11:29A quadruple?
11:29I hadn't even considered that as an option
11:33Inori already has the precision in her step and the rotational speed she needs for a quad
11:38I bet that's at least partly due to your training in ice dance
11:44The choice is yours
11:46Huh?
11:47We've got one hour left to work on stuff
11:50We can focus on landing the triple Lutz
11:52Or aim for landing the quadruple Salakau
11:56So
11:57What do you think you want to do?
12:00A quadruple?
12:03That's 9.7 points
12:04Just one of those would outscore Kabisaki's triple Axel
12:07That's only worth 8
12:08And with the other bonuses we've already got
12:11We can close the 20 point gap easy even without a triple Lutz
12:15What?
12:17We don't have much time left
12:18This is a jump I've never even attempted
12:20There's no guarantee I can actually use it at the meet
12:24Plus I've at least landed a triple Lutz before
12:26So maybe I should just focus on that for now
12:30But
12:36What do you think?
12:38I think this is one of those choices I have to make for myself
12:42You can't make the decision for me
12:45Right
12:47I'm going to need your help with this coach
12:50Talk it through with me
12:51Just like when we went to Mako
12:54Right
12:56Hinori's competing at the national level now
12:59Up against skaters like Hikaru Kamisaki
13:04You got it
13:09Who's that on the ice?
13:11Is Ubuji still here?
13:15That's...
13:16That's Tsukasa
13:17Hey good morning Coach Kohei
13:19Hmm?
13:20Never seen him before
13:22Is that somebody you know?
13:24Yeah
13:26A friend from another life
13:28This is really important
13:30We can go over it as many times as you need to make a decision
13:34No, it's okay
13:38Listen
13:38No matter what you pick
13:40We'll try to win with it
13:51Coach Wobuchi
13:52Coach Tsukasa
13:54I think that
13:56I'd like
13:56To learn the quadruple Sao-Kao, please
14:04We'll go over the key points
14:06Then you and I will take turns
14:07Good idea
14:10Like I said before
14:11The key isn't jumping higher
14:12It's jumping more vertical
14:14We want to up your rotation speed
14:16And that comes from tension on the axis
14:18Not air time
14:19So we're going to talk a whole lot about the timing
14:21Of when to clench in
14:22And when to loosen up
14:24Okay
14:25Timing
14:31Hmm
14:31Then let's start with when to tighten up
14:34What you're trying to do is harness two different forces on your body
14:37The momentum of your approach
14:39And the pivot of your upper body
14:41When those two forces are at their strongest
14:43You tense up tight to combine them
14:45And that's what makes you spin on your axis
14:48It's really quick
14:49And if you miss the window
14:50You won't have the speed for four rotations
14:53I understand
15:00Use the energy from the approach
15:02And twist
15:14You're good
15:19You tightened at the right moment
15:21But did you feel that you released a little too early?
15:25You've got to maintain that posture to the last second
15:27Understand?
15:30I know
15:31I'm not trying to go slow or bail
15:34I just can't control my body
15:37Honestly, that's mostly human instinct
15:39When you fall from high up
15:41You want to spread yourself wide
15:42So when you anticipate your landing
15:44You're going to assume a landing stance
15:46Earlier than you might want to
15:49That said
15:50If you don't open up and just hit the ice straight down
15:53The shock through your leg can break bones
15:58So you need the focus to tighten yourself at the perfect moment
16:01And the courage to hold out long enough before you're landing
16:05You need both to be a quad jumper
16:08That sounds hard
16:10You need an inner sense of the jump
16:13We'll make sure you don't get hurt
16:15So let's make the most of our time
16:18We'll drill it as many times as we can
16:20And we'll learn what works for you
16:21And what doesn't
16:22That's how we'll develop your inner sense
16:24Of what jumping a quad feels like
16:30Right
16:58Everything's too fast
16:59I guess they don't get it
17:00I don't feel like I have any inner sense of this jump at all
17:04I only have 15 minutes left
17:07What was I thinking?
17:15Just do it
17:16This isn't any different or harder than any other challenge I've had
17:19I gotta jump
17:21I refuse to accept that I can't do it
17:26I won't give up
17:28I've got to land this
17:30I've got to
17:33Come on
17:34I refuse to accept that I can't do it
17:37Come on
17:38I have to land it
17:39I know I can
17:40I know I can
17:41Land it
17:42I got this
17:43Land it
17:45Please
17:46Please
18:00Why?
18:06Inori
18:09If you want it too much
18:10It won't work
18:12What do you mean?
18:14This isn't some magic jump you can make
18:16If you just wish hard enough
18:17So don't throw yourself at it
18:19You're getting yourself worked up
18:22Then how?
18:24Okay
18:24So
18:24What was going through your mind just now?
18:30I was thinking
18:31I've got to land this jump no matter what
18:44How about this time?
18:45You think about something different
18:47Like telling me about how it feels to land a perfect quad
18:50Huh?
18:51I want you to think about telling me
18:53Which muscles you engage when you push off
18:55And how fast the light whizzes by
18:59The speed of the light
19:01What do you sense that tells you when to pivot?
19:05When to land?
19:06How does the wind feel on your face?
19:09Don't jump for success
19:10Jump to discover that many more words to describe it
19:14Find all the detail you can in that moment
19:17The control will follow
19:20Focus
19:33This rink
19:34Is slightly colder than the one at home in Osu
19:37The ice is harder
19:52Note your speed
19:53The pitch of your blades on the ice
19:56Your heartbeat
19:58Check the tension in your grip
19:59What does it feel like to bend your thumb against the wind?
20:03Feel the rush of the air on your face
20:06See how the lights blur past
20:08Take all those tiny little details
20:10All those sensations
20:12And find the one perfect moment
20:14Where everything aligns
20:19Aim
20:22For the light
20:25Swing wide
20:32Hold
20:33Hold
20:34Hold
20:36Hold
20:36Hold
20:36Now
20:37Now
20:51First of many
20:53Congratulations
20:56I
20:57I
20:59I really did it
20:59Yep
21:01A quadruple Salcow
21:03Well done
21:14Alright
21:14You rascals should be in here
21:16You're in the middle of a lesson
21:20Hey dude
21:22Is that Kohei?
21:47I'll see you next time.
22:16I'll see you next time.
22:23I'll see you next time.
22:46I'll see you next time.
22:58I'll see you next time.
