Question from Readers:
It seems that when Hanshin’s Satotero player makes an error, it often has a significant impact on the outcome of the game. Why are there so many errors? Is there a mental issue with the player?
Considering Satotero’s Errors
Recently, many people feel that Satotero has been making a lot of errors during games. Watching his play, I
occasionally find myself thinking, “Why did he make such a mistake?” Of course, errors are a part of any player’s game, but it seems that Satotero’s mistakes especially influence the game’s outcome.
Factors Behind the Errors
There are several possible causes for errors, and I believe that mental factors play a significant role alongside technical skills. Particularly in high-pressure situations, a player’s mental state often directly affects their performance. Therefore, it’s possible that tension and anxiety contribute to his errors. I work part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, and I recall feeling nervous during my first assignment. When I made a mistake with a document, my heart raced, and I found it hard to focus. In those moments, I realized how difficult it is to maintain calmness. It’s likely even harder for Satotero to stay composed on such a grand stage.
The Need for Mental Care in Today’s World
Recently, the importance of mental care for athletes has been increasingly emphasized. There are more instances of sports psychologists providing support, but strengthening mental resilience isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s essential for all of us to find time for hobbies and relaxation to maintain our own mental well-being. For me, reading has become a stabilizing force for my mind. Picking up a favorite book and immersing myself in the story helps me forget daily stresses. I wonder if Satotero has his own methods of refreshing himself, which makes me feel a bit more connected to him.

In this way, there are many factors contributing to Satotero’s errors. Mental challenges may be one of the reasons, but I hope he can overcome these hurdles. If any of you, the readers, have felt the importance of mental strength in sports or your own experiences, please share your thoughts in the comments. Any small story is welcome.
