Yuki Ishikawa in an interview had talked about the motivation for choosing the law faculty but also about how difficult those years had been between volleyball and study:
"Looking back, that was the hardest period"
"I earned most of my college credits during my first and second years. Since I was in the Law School, Department of Political Science, I was sometimes asked, "Are you planning to become a lawyer?", but I chose that department because I wanted to pursue volleyball.
Many professors in the Political Science Department also ran sports clubs, so they were very understanding of student athletes. If I was missing credits, they let me submit papers in lieu of credits... I was truly grateful.
Looking back, that was the hardest period. From October to March, I traveled to Italy for the Serie A season, then returned to Japan and resumed my studies once the season was over. Meanwhile, I participated in the Japan Interuniversity Championships and represented Japan in international tournaments. And then I returned to Italy again... It was a very demanding schedule, and I didn't have time to take care of my body, so I suffered a lot of injuries.
After graduating, I decided to pursue a career as a professional volleyball player in Italy. Many Japanese volleyball players are contracted by companies and compete in the V.League (now SVV League) as employee athletes. If you're contracted by a company, you receive a monthly salary and enjoy a generous support system, including injury compensation. But I chose the path of personal responsibility rather than stability."
