I received a letter of recommendation from Dr. Mariko Soya, an educator and researcher, regarding the Performance Treasure Map (PTM) and the Original K-Map (K-Map).

Think of it as something like a book cover blurb.

My Perspective on PTM


As the name suggests, PTM is a map detailing elements that serve as clues for improving performance.

While many training methods are devised based on scientific evidence, it’s common to see situations where proper training does not lead to desired results.

Possible Reasons for Lack of Results:

  • The fundamental issue lies completely outside the training being conducted.
  • While the problem awareness is correct, the solutions proposed are not appropriate.

Recognizing such issues requires knowledge and experience, and without encountering coaches or trainers who can take a multi-faceted approach, one may face frustration without resolution.

To avoid this, I believe PTM helps individuals grasp their current situations from various angles and appropriately identify challenges.

PTM serves to broaden the thinking and knowledge of both athletes and the coaches and trainers who support them, aiding in the development of new strategies for performance improvement.

My Perspective on K-Map

When opening the K-Map, many might feel surprised by the various factors and elements linked to a single performance.

By deconstructing the components of seemingly simple actions, I believe we can discover hints to enhance performance.

The K-Map, created based on the philosophy of PTM, integrates multiple specialized fields and serves as a “new interdisciplinary textbook” that has not existed before.

As someone involved in basic research, I find it meaningful as a tool that connects foundational studies with practical applications.

I have high expectations for the continued evolution of the K-Map.

Usage Recommendations (Who and When)

Who: I recommend it to anyone interested in sports.

Even those who aren’t athletes can benefit; people who succeed when they want to achieve something often have the ability to create mind maps like the K-Map.

When: It is particularly useful when you have a goal and want to work toward it.
