shomasuno:

“I think right now, he needs to find a path of quiet and focus to be able to perform just like the way he performs in training…I think right now he’s quite confident and quite happy. During training, he was pretty quiet, so that’s very important to keep his mind quiet and focused (for the competition).

I don’t get too emotional with his competitions…we just go back to practice together, slowly, step by step. And I think my presence is important. More than my words. 

➵ Is it difficult to communicate with Shoma in English?

No, not at all. We have a long relationship because we did many shows together, and our feeling is very similar. We have a sort of tip so I can explain to him a little bit, the movement with some images, and I can show him…I give him very specific words, like a direction with your right side, or I give him easy words. 

➵ What advice do you give Shoma?

I give him everything, everything. Right now, it’s an interim situation but I will help him. After Nationals, we will decide for the future.
