Shohei always wants to win games more than he wants to achieve his own records.
This is because Shohei believes that the team's championship is more important than his own record and that the ultimate goal of baseball is for the team to win.
His own performance happens in the process of his team winning the championship, and his most important ultimate goal is for his team to become world champions.
It is time for the interviewer to notice this way of thinking of Shohei's and choose questions accordingly.
"Shohei's top priority is to realize the team championship.
He does not consider the achievement of his individual result as his primary goal. "
This is why Shohei is able to stay calm and not get nervous in the face of a big achievement, and as a result, he is able to achieve an amazing record with ease. This may be similar to what the Japanese often refer to as “the triumph of selflessness” or “maintaining a normal usual mind (HEIJO SHIN)”.
When any human being has a strong desire to accomplish something, his or her body tenses up and we cannot move as well as usual.
You may think, “This is not how it is usually supposed to be, but it doesn't work well at an important moment.”
This is because the cognitive mechanism of the brain that controls our thoughts and awareness is also linked to the autonomic nervous system, which controls important functions in the body such as blood flow, hormones, and the respiratory system, which we are usually unconsciously and automatically working without realizing it.
However, if we continue to be consciously selfless, the autonomic nervous system will function normally in the body as usual, and the body will move naturally without tension even in hard situations.
This is a methodology that utilizes the basic physiological and structural mechanisms of the human body.
Somewhere in the process of growing up, Otani must have naturally learned how to control his emotions with this kind of mentality. (Probably from his high school baseball experience.)
This is probably why he is able to achieve such amazing records so easily in an environment that attracts so much attention.
Moreover, he did not achieve the record by suffering, but on the very day he achieved the record, he easily accomplished a historic feat with unusual results such as six for six hits, three consecutive home runs, two stolen bases, and 10 runs batted in, all by himself, which he would not normally do.
He is able to do this because he maintains his usual Shohei Ohtani mentality, thinking that “the record is only the halfway point to the ultimate goal, and the real goal is to win the championship, which lies ahead.
This is why his body moves freely and nimbly as usual, even in critical situations that would normally make him nervous.
Everyone should learn this kind of self-control methodology from Ohtani's behavior.
