Built From Experience
I first went to Japan alone with six months of Japanese and no roadmap. No support, no housing help, no one to call. When I returned to play at Waseda University — becoming the first foreign player in the program’s history — I knew exactly what athletes needed to make that leap. Athletes Gone Global exists so the next one doesn’t have to figure it out alone.
