Information on RBA Partners: Lending Corporate Support to Create Environments for Nurturing Future Talent

an educational initiative to foster 'individuals who can think and act.'

We are currently seeking
RBA Partners (companies and organizations) who resonate with this mission and will join us in supporting the future of youth development environments.

Why is improving the development environment necessary now?

Youth sports in Japan face several structural challenges:

・Early selection based on a win-at-all-costs mentality
・Disparities in playing opportunities
・Coaching centered on mental toughness
・A lack of environments that foster critical thinking and decision-making skills

As a result, problems such as:

・An increase in players quitting sports in junior high and high school
・A decline in autonomy
・The development of talent that only waits for instructions

are occurring. This is not only a sports issue, but also



an issue of future talent development as well.

・Ability to analyze situations

・Ability to make independent decisions
・Ability to act proactively
・Problem-solving skills

non-cognitive skills and practical thinking abilities


that are common to the talent profiles sought by companies.We operate as

a venue for talent development through sports.
