A special moment between the admired athlete and children! As part of the 'Person of Aspiration' series on the STORY channel, which creates opportunities for children to interact with the adults they admire, three girls participated in this video. Abe shares her experiences and thoughts from her career with the next generation. The children asked pure questions such as, 'Do you ever fight with your brother?' and 'How do you relax before a match?' During the judo guidance session, the girls' initially nervous expressions shifted into sharp, serious faces.
