In this project, we are going to explore the method for the student-coaches who want to motivate the athletes to lead them achieve their own goals with the psychological approach. The research targets enrolled in this attempt are the students who take charge of coaching for the sport team members of SFC.

A large number of injuries are expected to occur in the event of a disaster. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government estimates that approximately 85,000 people would be killed or injured in the event of an earthquake directly under the Tokyo metropolitan area during winter days. Even in normal times, more than 120,000 patients with cardiopulmonary arrest are transported to emergency rooms annually in Japan, and more than 300,000 injuries and illnesses occur annually as a result of traffic accidents. Anyone can be at the scene of an injury or illness, and the first responders are non-medically qualified rescuers (first responders).
First responders are required to be able to recognize and detect the occurrence of an injured or sick person at an early stage, call for rescue, provide appropriate observation and first aid treatment, transport the person to a safe location, and communicate information.
In this project, participants will learn what to do when rescuers without medical qualifications encounter injured and sick people, as well as how to prioritize injured and sick people (triage) and management of a large number of injured and sick people as practiced in disaster medicine. Then, participants will deepen their understanding of the situation in the event of an earthquake by working in groups to create a scenario for a live drill to learn about the types of injuries and sick and injured people that may occur. Then, by responding to the actual situation, the participants will think about how they should be as first responders.

Since the end of 2022, program managers from DRC visited us to renovate our entrepreneur training programs and started to organize the program both in DRC and Japan. This time we will go back to DRC with a group of project members to do the fieldwork studies to catch up with the present situation of DRC after COVID. The goal of this project is to update our interactive programs to realize the latest model of training programs to foster young entrepreneurs.
