I want to convey that it is a sport that contains many possibilities .
Mr. Ueda celebrated a successful 2019. To use that leap as a springboard, this year he has decided to move to France, where " Renault " was born.
. where I plan to live for four years. . I wanted a place close to the mountains, so I think it will be a plus in terms of getting used to the natural environment. On the other hand, I will be able to do things I can't do in Japan, but I will also have to deal with the stress of language and food, and I will be distant from my trainer, so it's not necessarily only a plus. Of course I intend to achieve good results, but things will not necessarily progress as I expect. But overcoming them will lead to growth, and there will always be something new to discover. I think that by continuing to challenge myself, I will definitely become more attractive as a human being, and I believe that it is worth leaving my stable life in Japan behind to go there."
Mr. Ueda says this with a light smile on his face and a strong will in his eyes. Beyond these thoughts, there was his goal of leading the scene as a top athlete.
I want to expand the possibilities for young athletes and future generations of athletes to have dreams by challenging themselves in various ways," he said. I want to increase the number of options, such as getting sponsorship from a manufacturer other than an outdoor brand like Renault, or having the opportunity to focus on competing as a professional, or moving to Europe like this. Since it is still a minor sport, I would like to convey to people that it is a sport with many possibilities, although it is something that can only be done with good results.
