Dr. Shihoko Suzuki launched the "Sport Nutrition and Dietitian Japan (SNDJ)" in June 2018, with the mission of "Performance, Nutrition, Management". She explained in a concrete and practical way about the role of certificated sports dietitian with knowledge of sports, how to utilize it, and the collaboration of training plans and nutritional support to lead to the performance improvement of athletes. In addition, Dr. Suzuki warned that a lot of misunderstandings are still going on in the field of sports. Therefore, she noted that more accurate images of athletes and conditioning management are needed to support them.

Following the previous lecture about “CoachDISC”, some case study activities had done assuming various situations. Participants divided into four groups and discussed how they understood behavior styles of athletes and examined how to deal with it as coaches. In demonstration, participants played coaches’ role and Ms. Maki Moriya played an athlete role. Several different personalities and gifts were found and all participants learned how to coach athletes throughout the practical activities.

In this lecture, we focused on a definition of a diverse society that is "a society in which each individual's abilities are valued properly", and explained issues from examples of sexual harassment and punishment recently took up in a sports world in Japan. In addition, participants learned how to deal with those problems when they faced in those situations. Also, gender harassment and sexual minorities that are included in the new regulations of the IOC are introduced. Participants recognized themselves through activities to enhance diverse society in sport.

In the lecture on "Leadership in Coaching; Theory and Practice", Dr. Ogasawara, Executive Director of the JCRWS, explained the transition of the leadership theory studied so far and the theories applicable to coaching. Another speaker Mr. Sarah Murray introduced stories and mission from an international NGO "Women Win". As she told, Women Win aims to create a society that allows girls to live safely and supports girls acquiring knowledge and skills through sports participation. In this lecture, Ms. Murray generously told her knowledge, ideas and methods cultivated in her life. For example, a unique arm wrestling competition made all participants, lecturers, and staff from various backgrounds connected and heated up. Also, several skills she explained could also be applied to coaching and leadership. Another activity using LEGO taught us that we could find commonalities and work together to achieve even greater vision. Participants were keenly aware of the importance of collaborating through lectures based on case examples too.

In this session, questions to lecturers and discussion had
done to determine participants’ future. Various questions
such as self-conscious about themselves and environmental and organizational problems they are facing were discussed. Participants shared emotion about their issues, positions, and the environment. Panelists gave advice from various angles that resonated with the mind. Lastly, Dr. Ogasawara, coordinator of this session and Executive Director of JCRWS, concluded the session with this message; "I want each one of you to challenge with something special that you have."

First, Ms. Kobayashi, facilitator of this session, explained story and mission of how the “Karuizawa Declaration for 2020” was created during the first Women Coaches Academy in 2015. Then, she gave a message to all participants; “Please praise yourself who completed this academy and obtained a wonderful network. Please act with confidence from now on. You Can Do It !” Participants talked about what kind of action will be taken with peers by using new knowledge and networks from the academy.
