Brighton forward Kaoru Mitoma attended the University of Tsukuba between 2016 and 2019 after rejecting a professional contract. Kaoru Mitoma turned down the chance to go professional at 16 to attend university – and he wrote a fascinating graduation thesis on dribbling that involved fixing a GoPro to his head. The Japan international has taken a somewhat unconventional route to the top. When he was 18, the talented Mitoma was offered a professional contract by local J1 League outfit Kawasaki Frontale. But instead of taking it with both hands, like most teenagers would, the Kanagawa-born forward rejected the proposal as he felt he was not prepared for the challenges of pro football. In the coming weeks, he would accept an offer to study physical education at the University of Tsukuba. "I thought it would be better to go to university in order to make it as a professional footballer,” Mitoma said in a recent interview with Eurosport. "So I studied lots of things – coaching, sports and nutrition. I learned lots of things.”
