He would take responsibility for the children and train them to swim. Using his science background, Sakamoto developed a strict practice regime for the kids, honing their skills and building their strength and endurance. They formed a team and began to dominate events, first nationally and then internationally—until they made it all the way to Olympic gold!</p> <p>Told in simple rhyme, Sakamoto's story will inspire athletes, coaches—and everyone who believes impossible dreams can come true.</p>.
