Why did Japan's fastest man become a football goalkeeper?

【FOOTBALLER Okonkwo Ikemjeff(Estepicor Okinawa )】 Surprising news has just broken in the Japanese football world. Although not many people know this yet, a former 100m national champion at the junior high level has made a bold career switch to football goalkeeper. Even more impressive, he has already secured a spot in the Shimizu S-Pulse youth academy for high school. Born and raised in Uruma, Okinawa, to a Nigerian father and a Japanese mother, he boasts a personal best in the 100m in the 10.70s range. Hearing this, a million questions came to mind: 'Why give up track and field for soccer?' 'Why become a goalie when you have world-class speed?' To find the answers, I flew to Okinawa.
