And a joyful, positive attitude to inspire the world.
Whether it be whizzing a top around like crazy, or having an epic impromptu singing session, we’ve been surprised time and again by the skill shown by street performers.
And recently, another culmination of effort and countless hours of practice was witnessed by a crowd who gathered in stunned silence in Times Square, New York, to watch Japanese youth @ryutricks perform some freestyle soccer tricks.
▼ What godly speed and precision.
(Translation below)
マイクもチップ入れも大音量のスピーカーも無いし、まして才能集まるニューヨークで話術無しでは厳しいよとか言われたりもしたけど、
結局ずっと夢だった、『サッカーボール1つでタイムズスクエア沸かす』まあまあ達成出来たわ。
やっぱ適当に無… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

“There I was with no microphone, no loudspeaker, and no tipping boxes in New York, a place filled with talented people and a tough environment for those who aren’t fluent in English. Yet I barely managed to amaze Times Square using one soccer ball, and I fulfilled my dream. Just ignore 98 percent of people who tell you it is impossible.”
Quoted on his Twitter profile page are the words “Inspire the world”, a motto @ryutricks seems to live by through his actions. While studying at Waseda University, the energetic youth represented his institution in the Red Bull “Can You Make It?” challenge and traveled across Europe using only cans of Red Bull as currency.
Although his team finished in 143rd place out of more than 200 teams, the freedom of going to unknown places with limited resources at his disposal sparked something deep in him.

and mildly upsetting his mother by kicking his diploma.

@ryutricks then set his next plan into motion: to traverse America without any sort of accommodation planned. Currently now in New York with nothing but his clothes, a camera, a soccer ball, and freestyle juggling skills, the adventurous youth is now living out his wildest dreams while doing what he loves.
▼ Moving the world one kick at a time.
またもやタイムズスクエアに。
場所が悪かったり昼間で観客が少なくても、変わらず全力でやってるとほら!少年が!! https://t.co/OaEGQYr2Ly

▼ “After hours of practice and encouragement from a boy,
I’ve managed to create my ultimate trick. Thank you!”
男の子にずっと励まされて、何時間もやり続けたら遂に自分史上最強の技が出来た、、!!
少年ありがとうー! https://t.co/xm25oJsT2Y

Japanese netizens were indeed motivated by his positive attitude and unwavering dedication to achieving his goals:
“The path you’re walking on is uniquely yours. That’s so cool!”
“A man among men.”
“I’m 42 years old. Can I still make it at my age?”
“His courage and pure joy is nothing short of awesome.”
“He must have practiced a ton to come this far.”
With impressive freestyle skills and an exemplary outlook on life to match, we cannot wait to see where @ryutricks’ next adventures will take him and how many people will be inspired by his positive attitude. At the rate he is going, he may just end up becoming the next Soccer Samurai in the next World Cup.
