Q. What made you want to become an instructor?

In order to continue enjoying snowboarding for a long time, I wanted to put what I had been doing just for fun into practice, and after taking the badge test, I was able to open up the path to becoming an instructor.

Q. When do you feel the most satisfaction or joy from being an instructor?

This is definitely a moment when customers are happy.

The best moments are when a customer overcomes something they couldn't do before or learns something new and we can share that experience together and enjoy it together.

Q: What are your goals for the future?

I want to enjoy snowboarding, not compete in competitions.

I don't think that if you work as an instructor but don't love snowboarding, you won't be able to convey the joy.

Q. Message to those who want to become instructors

This is something I experience every day, but I've heard that you learn more if you try to teach others, rather than studying for a test. In other words, making an effort to teach others about snowboarding will be the fastest way to improve yourself.

Q. What made you want to become an instructor?

Since I'm from Kagoshima, there are hardly any people around me who snowboard, so I wanted to have friends to snowboard with. One day, I suddenly realized, "If I can teach, I can make more friends!" and decided to aim for the path of an instructor. 

Q. When do you feel the most satisfaction or joy from being an instructor?

The moment when a customer is happy is what makes me happiest! When I hear a first-time snowboarder say, "I want to do it again!" or "I want to snowboard more," or when someone who can already turn changes their snowboarding style, I feel happy together with the customer. It's a really happy moment. 

Q: What are your goals for the future?

My goal from now on, or rather, my goal for the rest of my life, is to convey the joy of snowboarding. There are many ways to enjoy snowboarding, such as carving, gliding through powder, doing freestyle tricks, and playing on walls. However, I think that what is fun varies from person to person, so I want to convey the way of enjoying snowboarding that suits each person. However, in order to do that, I first need the skills to convey them, so I am aiming to further improve my own skills!

Q. Message to those who want to become instructors

 Even if you say "instructor", it is often vague and difficult to imagine. I myself was also quite vague about what kind of life I would be living. So, if you have any questions or concerns, it would be a good idea to first inquire and start by resolving various concerns.

We look forward to your questions about how to work, how to spend your time, time work, etc.!

Q. When do you feel the most satisfaction or joy from being an instructor?

I often work with people who are snowboarding for the first time, and it's the moment when a customer who didn't even know how to put on their snowboards is able to snowboard by themselves and says, "Snowboarding is fun!"

Further growth!!

When they say it's easy to understand, or when I see them trying their best to snowboard even after the lesson is over. When they call out to me with a smile, "Teacher!" even outside of the lesson. When I teach them the knowledge to snowboard safely. (Especially to beginners.) 

Q: What are your goals for the future?

As an instructor, I want to improve not only my own skiing skills, but also my ability to communicate. I want to be able to convey the joy of snowboarding even more!

Q. Message to those who want to become instructors

By teaching a variety of people, I can expand my knowledge as an instructor, so I can grow and feel a sense of accomplishment! Furthermore, by talking with other instructors, I can learn something new, which I can use next time and which also leads to my own confidence, so it's very rewarding!
