Asahinagu - Vol. 3 Ch. 30 - Your Mistake to Begin With

Thank you so much for the chapter. This is one of my favorite sport mangas.
 
I do wish sports manga would stop fetishizing abusive training practices. They do nothing but increase the risk of injury in athletes, increase burnout and cause mental distress. A short, grueling training session done together can help create team spirit and build mental fortitude but, if a coach INTENTIONALLY causes a young athlete to lose consciousness due to overtraining, it's no longer training --- it's abuse.
 
If somebody lacks the sport-specific strength they need, the worst thing you can do is make them do everything else but the exact activity they are supposed to be training for. And if somebody can't perform a technique well, making them repeat it way past their own limit is absolutely pointless; there is no point in sloppy repetitions that you pay no attention to. I do agree with the sentiment that women should train the same way as men, and the same types of things should be expected of them, but nobody should train like this.
 
You're all missing the whole point of this. In these kind of manga its always the same.

They simply DONT have the time to do things the best way.

Abusing training is always pictured as a bet. A bet that either go miraculously good or utterly bad. They need explosive growth, not steady growth (that comes later, when they overcome the current wall). And also you're missing the ""poetic"" in there, to overcome hell, victorious of a training you inicially thought it was pointless and abusive. It is to learn that you are strong and nothing can stop you if you put your mind into it.
