About Me
I’m Kohei Asai, writing from Tokyo where I run an independent learning center and coach youth soccer. My journey has taken me from economics at Waseda University to medicine at Peking University—not to follow conventional paths, but to understand the deeper structures that govern how we learn, move, and heal.
My mission: To reveal the invisible architecture behind breakthrough performance—whether that’s a student’s “aha moment,” Messi’s impossible dribble, or the body’s capacity for regeneration.
I believe the same structural principles that create space on a soccer field also unlock learning in the classroom and healing in the body. This blog is where I explore those connections.
