Ishikawa, 23 years old. Four years ago, he debuted as a representative of Japan at the age of 19, and grew up to become a representative of Japan with a powerful spike from a high point. The refreshing smile is also gaining popularity.
It was high school that made the name known throughout the country. 99 consecutive wins in the official game as Ace. The first three high school crowns have been achieved for the first time in history.
Last year, I graduated from university and turned professional. I belong to the world's highest Italian team.
Looking ahead to next year's Tokyo Games, which will be my first Olympics, I am enthusiastic about winning the top priority anyway.
One of the things we are working on is strengthening the lower body.
Until now, I refrained from gaining weight and refraining from training, but I felt that I needed physical strength to fight the world.
In addition, the national team is exploring new forms of attack to counter the heights of the world. That is a back attack using a friend as a decoy.
It is an attack that wants to improve perfection for next year's Olympics.
This month, the men ’s World Cup opened in Japan.
In the first match against Italy, Ishikawa took points in the way he intended.
I won the 3rd place in Italy and got a good response.
As a keyword for next year's Tokyo Olympics, Ishikawa vowed to become a “player that changes the flow”.
“Volleyball is a sport where flow is very important. I want to be a player who can change the flow with a single ball, and I want to be a player that can be relied on when the team is in trouble to change the flow.”
