From Myanmar Roots to the World
With roots in both Myanmar and Japan, she is pursuing a dream of competing on the international tennis stage.
Growing up, she saw people close to her struggle with questions of identity, belonging, and their Myanmar roots. Those experiences shaped the way she sees her own journey.
Inspired by Filipino tennis player Alexandra Eala, she wants to keep challenging herself, create her own opportunities, and show that our roots do not have to define the limits of our future.
Her dream is not only to become a successful athlete, but to give young people with Myanmar roots another reason to believe in what is possible.
To keep moving forward — and one day become a player Myanmar can believe in and be proud of.
Our focus extends far beyond the next tournament. We are building a foundation for the athlete Yuri can become in five, ten, and even more years.
Her development follows a long-term, science-informed approach. By assessing skeletal alignment, biomechanics, movement patterns, and physical development, we aim to understand how her body moves, learns, and adapts.
Every stage of training is designed with a purpose — developing efficient movement, physical resilience, adaptability, and the capacity to keep learning.
We believe that lasting performance comes not from rushing development, but from building the right foundations at the right time.
What makes Yuri especially exciting is not simply what she can achieve today, but how much potential remains ahead of her.
She is still learning. Still adapting. Still developing.
And that is precisely where her greatest strength lies.
Built with purpose. Developed through science. Driven by a dream.
Be Part of My Journey
This journey is still just beginning.
Through tennis, education, and her connection to Myanmar, she hopes to keep challenging what is possible — and one day inspire others with Myanmar roots to dream beyond borders.
