WHAT THE F…
This coach better be punished! Such violent way of coaching is NEVER ACCEPTABLE.
You’re about to see a very disturbing video of a coach slapping a 16-17 year old player.
VIEWER’S DISCRETION in strongly advised.
Coach: “Don’t joke around, kid! Do you understand? You’re stupid!”
Take note, he slapped the student 13 times in only 16 seconds.
This video was posted last month and has already reached more than 2 million views with netizens expressing anger over the incident. According to the Japan Times, school officials have reviewed the incident and would punish the coach.

Toshitaka Shiozawa, the assistant principal, said the 41-year-old teacher had also beaten another student the same day. He declined to reveal the teacher’s name.
Neither student suffered any lasting injuries in the attacks, Shiozawa said, adding the school was considering punishing the teacher.
Japan banned corporal punishment in schools after World War II, but it remains far from uncommon, particularly in sports education, despite a number of high-profile cases.
In December, a teenager killed himself following repeated physical abuse from his high school basketball coach in Osaka.
Earlier this month, world judo champion Shohei Ono was suspended from his university for physically abusing junior members of the judo squad.
Japan’s judo community was rocked in January when it emerged that the coach of the national women’s team was found to have beaten athletes, sometimes using a bamboo sword, calling his charges “ugly” and telling them to “die” in the runup to the London Olympics.
The new incident comes less than two weeks after Japan won the 2020 Olympic Games, and after the announcement that Japan is to form a sports agency to boost elite athletes’ performance.
VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER and NEVER ACCEPTABLE!
We hope the coach gets the punishment he deserves.
