Sakura Nakano

Youth cycling coach and mentor

  • 🇯🇵 Nagoya, Aichi, Japan
  • Nagoya Community Club
  • Since 1988
  • Japanese
I've coached cycling at Nagoya Community Club since 1988. Most of my players were between 8 and 18, and a lot of them turned into friends for life. Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I always have a bag of oranges in my drawer. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
