[ Tezuka has always been somebody to not underestimate on the court, but how has he improved like that in such little time? At Tezuka's current level, not even I could hope to defeat him. Watching Keigo lose like that was unbelievable - that would have been me in the same position, and that bothers me greatly. There is absolutely no reason why I cannot reach the same level. Even taking into consideration that Tezuka works with professional trainers and has been playing only professional level matches, he is not unreachable, nor unbeatable.
I will be upping my own personal training regime, and we will be doing the same for the team. We will have higher standards, this year. We will not lose. ]
[ We have decided to give you all a break from practice for all of Golden Week. However, once school starts up once more, I would like you all to be fully prepared for a far more rigorous regime. We will be expecting top performances from everybody, this season, no exceptions. We will bring home the Nationals title for a second year in a row.
Those of you who have yet to make regulars, I want you to push yourselves harder than ever before. Regulars, I expect you all to be in top condition and to not slack off for any reason. No excuses.
We will discuss this further in one week's time. Have a good break. ]
