About ISoS - Japan

DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and welcome to the homepage of the International School of Sport in Japan (ISoS). At ISoS, we are committed to creating opportunities for all youths to have a positive, safe, and motivating introduction and immersion into sport and physical activity. Sport can be an intimidating and isolating experience for young people, often justified in the name of performance and 'winning'. Our mission is to empower our youths through sport, helping them develop the skills, attitudes and the confidence necessary to succeed in life, while making sure that students are challenged, but treated with the respect that they deserve.

As a young boy, my mother was my inspiration to participate in sport. She encouraged me, coached me, motivated me, and made sacrifices for me in order to reach my potential as a student and as an athlete. She never let me fall into lazy habits and constantly reminded me that "good enough isn't good enough". With this wisdom as my guiding principle, I set out into the realms of academics and sport. It is in this same spirit that I aim to develop this organization to encourage kids to be the best that they can be, and to understand that in sport, like in life, you reap what you sow.

Looking forward to meeting you all along this journey,

Coach Peter
