Sho's Coaches – Part 3
Yoshi Hatakeda coached me along with my dad from 2000 to 2002. He went to the Olympics as a part of the Japanese team in 1992 and 1996 and has a team bronze from the first one. He’s won several world championships as well. From what I remember his best events were pommel horse and high bar but he still kicked butt in the all-around also.
Currently he’s back in Japan coaching at a university. Cool thing is he also coaches Kohei Uchimura (Olympic silver medalist). I also recently got to see him because he was part of the coaching staff for team Japan at the Japan Cup (picture below)!
