Japanese NFL hopeful gets dream chance on football field in U.K.
Ryoma Shimoseki jumped at the opportunity to play football in the U.K. at no cost. It felt too good to be true — so much so that his mother worried he was being scammed.
The 18-year-old was recently announced as the newest addition to the NFL Academy, a renowned sports institute in Loughborough, England, which aims to use football to create life-changing opportunities for teenagers around the globe. Shimoseki is the first-ever participant in the program from Japan.
“I’ve heard about the 6 a.m. alarms and intensive training sessions but I’m ready to go,” Shimoseki told The Japan Times shortly before leaving his home in Chiba last month.
