Having started at the age of 9, the coach Yoshinori has always loved speed skating. He came in 7th place in the men's 1000m race (long track) in the 2008 and 2009 National Sports Festival of Japan, Japan's largest national sports competition. He stayed in being a skater while studying Sports Science and Biomechanics Training at the Shinshu University. Having earned his Bachelor's degree, he had decided to retire from speed skating to become a coach. Then he went on to the graduate school of the university and completed his master's degree majoring in Biomechanics and Coaching.
