Nakada is a terrible coach in my opinion. She can't even make up her mind who is the main setter at this moment. Recall Miyu Nagaoka back to national team is disaster decision. Miyu Nagaoka just told she can't train 100% in club team in interview months before. But Nakada insisted to recall her. What Nakada did was just tell the rest of female players in Japan that no matter how hard you work, I just pick my preferences even they are not 100% in shape. You know how hard Japanese players train to be in Tokyo Olympics? She just break their dreams. Nakada is totally terrible coach. She needed to step down 2 years ago.
The worst part of Nakada is she has poor ideology of volleyball. She only knows "speed volleyball". She has been pushing the team to be fast to compete the strong teams. But it just doesn't work. Only being fast is just not enough to win the games. She couldn't figure another tactic to train the team. What a waste of 4 years!
Just because the men's team has won a couple of games doesn't make them an exceptional team. Internationally they're still scraping by.
Nakada's main dilemma is that she resorted to make a rash emergency decision to recall Miyu because she felt a veteran was needed to front for the NT, not because she's telling all the other rookies their efforts don't mean squat. If that was her message all along she shouldn't have gotten Seki because everyone knows Seki is a mediocre setter.
Imagine having Yuki Ishii as the main face of Women's NT, that's a whole joke right there but that was what Nakada was pulling mere months before Risa retired. Her forcing Miyu back is indeed a really really bad decision, she might as well tell Sakoda to come back
