Takeshi Okada

Japanese association football player and manager

Takeshi Okada belongs to the record of sport as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Takeshi Okada as Japanese association football player and manager.

Takeshi Okada was born at Osaka in 1956. His recorded nationality is Japan. He was educated at Waseda University.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

The record gives his occupations as association football player and association football coach.

His affiliations include Josai International University.

Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.

That the work was done from Japan matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Takeshi Okada is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
