SHUNSUKE IZUMIYA

At a high school athletics meet where I was expected to finish in a high position, I failed to do so, probably because of my overconfidence. I still remember that my coach told me back then that confidence and overconfidence were different.

Today, I compete in a race in a natural stance without becoming too eager to win or too aware of victory so that I can simply post a performance that’s the result of my daily training.

Now that there has been improvement in my acceleration from the middle of a race, I would like you to see me speeding out of the pack at around the halfway point.
