Future goals (revised)

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog.

Today I will be writing about what I am thinking in terms of my future goals and plans in tennis.

What I’ve been doing

My goal this year was to win the FCT (Federación Catalunya Tenis) or the Monty Tour, however the plan has changed drastically because of the covid-19.

I was training in Barcelona, Spain at the beginning of the year, however from the second week of March, the quarantine got me completely away from tennis.

I had no choice but to go back to Japan ( my home ) since Japan wasn’t on lockdown then.

At the end of March, I booked a flight and came back home.

The first few weeks I was hitting with my brother and some of my friends, however almost all the sports facilities began to close and I wasn’t able to play tennis nor do fitness at gym for almost two months.

During the quarantine, I was making YouTube videos, studying stock marketing etc.

**What I am doing now **

From the 1st of June, facilities started to open and I was finally able to be back on court to grind.

Now I am playing tennis 3~5 times a week, doing fitness almost everyday.

Besides tennis, I am also preparing for potential businesses which I’m planning to do in the near future.

Objectives and Goals

Since the situation and the environment changed drastically, I had to reconsider the objective this year which was to “win the tournaments in Barcelona”.

I have only been playing singles since I started playing tennis at the age of 17 and here is something massive which I decided recently.

If I can’t accomplish a goal I set in singles in a limited period of time, I will move on to playing only doubles.

I haven’t decided concretely when and what the goal will be yet, although it will probably be winning the tournament in Barcelona or the JOP tournament in Japan until March or April.

Plans

I will stay in Japan a few more months. During the time in Japan I will try JOP tournaments (Japan Official Point) where I can earn Japanese rankings.(both in singles and doubles)

When all the Corona Virus crisis settles, I am thinking of going back to Barcelona (Spain) to train with GRTennis (small group where I was training before Corona) for a few months.

**Ultimate goal **

I believe that your final goal has to be something that excites you when you’ve accomplished it.

Mine in singles is; to win the national championship in Japan and to play the main draw in Rakuten Tokyo Open.

My final goal in doubles is: to play the grand slam main draw on a centre court.

These goals give me motivation and courage to keep striving.

**Sponsors **

Although I am thinking of doing small businesses in the near future, I will need a sponsor to keep playing tennis and to improve as efficiently and quickly as possible.

The road to grand slam is tough, however having a sponsor will definitely facilitate the journey.
