Soccer Diagnosis in Japan
We do not just teach techniques. We diagnose why players cannot perform in real games, then choose the first improvement priority.
Shinnosuke Yatabe / Dr. Soccer
Coach Yatabe has worked for more than 20 years as a private soccer coach, with over 20,000 coaching sessions and more than 1,200 improvement cases. He supports youth, academy, high school, college, adult, and international players visiting Japan.
This page applies Coach Yatabe’s diagnosis-first approach to the specific player type and problem shown above.
Diagnosis for every player stage
Youth, academy, high school, college, adult, and international players may use different words, but the cause can be broken down into movement, preparation, vision, distance, and decisions.
First check: Training does not appear in games
We start from the real words the player or family uses, then translate them into observable soccer actions.
Cause: body movement
We separate movement, preparation, vision, decision-making, distance, and role understanding before choosing drills.
Next action: root cause
The diagnosis becomes a short priority list so the player knows what to change first.

Common problems
- Training does not appear in games
- The player is not evaluated
- The family does not know what to fix first
- Movement and decision-making are unclear
The cause is not always technique.
We analyze what happens before the technical mistake: body movement, information, preparation, positioning, and decision-making.
