岡田大河選手に、海外に挑戦する理由などについて伺った一問一答記事です。 「僕は王道を進んだことがない。肯定されたことがない」と話しながらも「自分次第」と挑戦を続ける岡田選手。厳しい状況を楽しいと思える正真正銘の挑戦者です。

We are saddened to hear the passing of legendary #HawaiiFB Coach June Jones today. He is UH’s winningest head coach with 76 wins, the master in the Run and Shoot Offense and a great mentor and teacher of the game. Coach Jones was 73 years old. Rest in Aloha.

Got one last workout in at World Boxing Gym - formerly Marciano’s Gym in Jersey City - before they close it after about 40 years in business. Champs like Arturo Gatti, Buddy McGirt, Tomasz Adamek and Pernell Whitaker used to train here back in the day. Sad to see it go

Shaik does a tremendous job here of capturing the essence of what made Ross Newhan so great--as a ball writer, a husband, a father, a colleague, a mentor, a friend, and so much more. It will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.
