Risshisha

Hi everyone, it's nice to meet you all!
I'm Ohara, and I just joined Risshisha!

Since this is my first blog, let me start by introducing myself!

I would appreciate it if you could read it all the way through even if it is pretty long!

I grew up in the small village of Tamamura in Gunma Prefecture,
which is mostly made up of factories and rice fields.

I started playing soccer there in the first grade of elementary school
when a girl I liked at the time started, and I decided to follow her!

Then, I spent both my primary and junior high school years playing soccer in Gunma Prefecture,
where I won prefectural championships and competed in national competitions.
I was fortunate enough to join the young team of Mito HollyHock,
a club that plays in the J1 League in Ibaraki Prefecture.

After that, I strengthened my skills with my teammates,
and after I graduated from high school, I was promoted
to the first squad and realized my goal of playing professional soccer.

I had an incredible experience while on contract at
a club in Singapore during my second year!

I had the good fortune to join OCOCIAS Kyoto AC,
a club supported by Risshisha, after coming back to Japan.

I had some injuries and setbacks after that, but I wanted to make a change,
so I moved to Asuka FC in Nara and changed my environment.
I was lucky to have great coaches and teammates there.
We won the Kansai League; took part in the Regional Champions League,
a competition to rise to a higher division; and surprisingly won it,
earning us a promotion to the JFL league!

I've had a lot of challenging situations thus far, both positive and negative, and I've made the decision
to return to OCOCIAS Kyoto AC due to a variety of good circumstances!

I'm having a great time at Risshisha, a wonderful company, and I'm very happy to have joined!
I want to give my all to both soccer and my work so as to bring even more to the company's future ahead!

I'm looking forward to working together with each of you!

Ohara
