Player, Parents and Coaches
From my 25 years of International Baseball, I have studied the 16th Century in Japan.
During the 16th Century, the Samurai soldier
developed "9 Rules" for preparing for competition.
Today, the "9 rules" are a part of the businessman and athlete's philosophy.
1. Think of what is right and true.
2. Practice and cultivate the science.
3. Become acquainted with the arts.
4. Know the principle of crafts.
5. Understand the harm and benefit in everything.
6. Learn to see everything accurately.
7. Become aware of what is not obvious.
8. Be careful even in small matters.
9. Do not do anything useless.
Many questions presented on the web can be answered with the "9 Rules".
