4. 0:06further ado, Mr. Zaitsu,
5. 0:20don't think too deeply. Societyy's a
6. 0:23joke. And even if you do win, keep

8. 0:28>> Are there any questions?
9. 0:34Yes,
10. 0:36>> you go ahead.
11. 0:39>> My name is Tsuneda. I'm the captain of
12. 0:41our team. I guess what I'd like to ask
13. 0:43you is Oh, thank you.
14. 0:47You've had an incredible career and have
15. 0:49a good number of impressive records
16. 0:51under your belt. I mean, you're
17. 0:52basically unbeatable. So, what motivates
18. 0:55you to keep pushing yourself?
19. 0:57I am a living thing. I will die never to
20. 1:01be born again. That's my motivation.
21. 1:07>> Thank you very much, sir. May I ask
22. 1:10another question? How do you mentally
23. 1:13prepare yourself when you're competing
24. 1:14in the big races on a national level?
25. 1:18>> Whenever I'm competing, I can focus
26. 1:20since I'm not afraid of losing, but I
27. 1:23also fear defeat since I desire results.
28. 1:25So, your mood swings since those
29. 1:27contrasting ideas are each taking half
30. 1:29of your focus.
31. 1:30>> Incorrect. I benefit from 100% of both.
32. 1:33>> And you think like that to avoid feeling
33. 1:35nervous?
34. 1:36>> No, I think that way so I can enjoy
35. 1:38being nervous.
36. 1:40>> Um,
37. 1:43I see.
38. 1:45Thank you for your answer.
39. 1:47>> Who's next?
40. 1:50>> I have a question.
41. 1:51>> Sure. Go ahead.
42. 1:54Hello, I'm Kia.
43. 1:56So, Mr. Zaitu, how do you
44. 2:01what do you do to take care of your
45. 2:02mental health?
46. 2:05Uh,
47. 2:07you see, I'm a short distance runner
48. 2:09struggling with anxiety, and it's now
49. 2:11affecting my running. When I was a kid,
50. 2:14I ended up hurting my leg. Even though
51. 2:17it's completely healed, whenever I reach
52. 2:19my top speed, it always seems to slow
53. 2:21down. Then uh do you know of any
54. 2:25solutions to fix that?
55. 2:28>> Well, the bottom line is you don't have
56. 2:30to cope with your anxiety.
57. 2:32This world is filled with possibilities
58. 2:34of failure. But the thing is that's what
59. 2:37gives life its charm. Fear isn't
60. 2:39unpleasant and safety isn't always
61. 2:42pleasant. Anxiety is a feeling one gets
62. 2:45when one challenges themselves. So if
63. 2:47one must sacrifice something for
64. 2:49victory, then give up your body because
65. 2:52it's just a collection of cells. Glory
66. 2:54is forever.
67. 2:58So what goal are you trying to achieve?
68. 3:02>> Someday
69. 3:04I would like to be the national record
70. 3:06holder.
71. 3:10>> I see. What was your name?
72. 3:14>> It's Kia.
