Jōnetsu ★ Nekketsu Athletes: Nakimushi Coach no Diary

Jōnetsu ★ Nekketsu Athletes: Nakimushi Coach no Diary ("Passionate Hot-Blooded Athletes: Diary of a Crybaby Coach") is an track-and-field sports-training simulation game where the player takes the role of a coach and must train one of four athletes to be a top all-rounder within three years. The game is divided into three main segments.

In the training segments, the player decides the athlete's training schedule, determining which events they practice and when they take a rest day. Before and after training, the player converses with the athlete in a visual-novel style, providing emotional support, encouraging when they're feeling down, and admonishing them when they get too confident. Occasionally, the athlete will participate in various events, and the player can mash buttons to encourage them and increase their performance. There are six different events represented in the game: 100 Meter Dash, 110 Meter Hurdles, High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, and Hammer Throw.
