Player Prompt

Ryosuke Sato is not one to get in it with the media, fans or journalists. Typically when they have fans or journalists talking about the poor performance on the ice, Ryosuke Sato accepts that he has to work harder and put in more time at the gym. Sato takes the comments as motivation; however, he also knows that he is getting up there in terms of age and time will eventually catch up to him no matter how hard he works. Sato is also not one to be on social media so all the comments on there do not affect him in the slightest. Directly in the face of a reporter, Sato would often admit his poor performance and handle the whole situation as professionally as he can. Overall, the whole negative press and fan response is just another part of the job as a hockey player and Sato has been in the league for a long time to know how to handle the whole situation without making a big stir about it.
