Description: Yuki Ishikawa, Japanese men's volleyball player, "Aiming for the top" book Description This is the first autobiography of Ishikawa Yuki, who will be taking on the challenge of reaching the top of the world this summer at the Paris Olympics. Includes a gorgeous opening color page including new photos taken in Milan! Since making his debut for the national team at the age of 18, volleyballer Ishikawa Yuki has grown into Japan's world-class ace in both name and reality over the past 10 years. He has been at the top of Japan's game since high school, but he has also experienced disappointment on the international stage. Throughout this time, his own growth and the growth of his team have synchronized, and in Paris they have risen to a position where they can aim for the top of the world, and reach the Olympic podium for the first time in half a century. This book is Ishikawa's first autobiography in which he writes about the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of his life both as a player and as a person. His encounter with volleyball, the trial and error he went through in junior high school, his training in Italy, the Olympic stage, and his appointment as captain of the Japanese national team... The book writes about the past, present, and future, with these turning points as the vertical axis and her state of mind, methods of caring for and relaxing her body, and her feelings toward her family and friends as the horizontal axis.
