really loving the effort from that guy in blue at 5:58

Im always doing it whenever I play volleyball and it's hard for the opponent to survive the ball. And because of this I got new technique. When I'm spiking the ball I don't jump harder I'm just controlling my leap for me to see the hands of the blockers and hit the ball so hard so that the ball will surely go outside. Thanks coach for this video. From Philippines ❤️

Played college VB and am currently coaching HS VB and I absolutely love your videos. They've been an enormous help to me and my team. Keep up the good work!

Great video - but you're assuming we can see the block well. Any tips on how we can get a better view of the blockers and defense when attacking?

[BballerDavid]

Great video coach! I respect your hitting so much more now that i can see how many options you know how to use... Looks awesome in slow motion seeing how you know exactly where youre aiming...

[ChicHulaGirl]

I wish your videos were around when i was playing in high school! So much better than my high school coach 🤦🏽‍♀️ Now my daughter is starting club ball! Can’t wait to show her your videos! Thank you!

Great video! I’m a setter but been trying to get better at hitting so I’ve been working on my vertical. However, never learning how to properly hit after playing volleyball for 6+ years has been noticeable 😭
Hoping to increase my options as a hitter since I don’t see myself as a power hitter, but rather as a “garbage man, ” doing something smart with the ball every time

You have been such a huge help in my volleyball journey thank you!

[Skywrecked]

This is the video I've been waiting for. Adds more variety to your attack -- thanks Coach!

Could you make a how to win a joust video? Thanks

[dannyhan]

Could you make a video how to one hand set, or what to do when the ball is too tight to the net?

[lol]

Hey coach can you give me tips on warm up or stretch routines before a game? Thanks.

[AyanShahid-]

can you make a video for how to tool the block and read the blockers as a middle quick spiker ? please

[emmanuelberkmans]

great video coach!! can u make a part two on what follow through arm motions/wrist snap angles- that can be used for tool blocking

[estebanvenegas]

Thnks coach ive learned a lot from your vids

[bellestachura]

Can u do different ways on how to dive for the ball

[souaapaclee]

Any tips on how do you rotate your body to hit great cross and deep line?

[marislia]

Do you also have to be lucky in order to tool the block? It seems very difficult to spike/aim the ball while watching the blockers set up (i.e.,  in the blink of an eye). I know coaches talk about 'seeing the court', but unless you know the blocker(s) tendencies isn't it hard to react that quickly. Do you agree or disagree?Thanks for another great video -- I watch them religiously.

[manchali]

hey, coach Could you make a video on how to improve the contact of the ball while spiking?

[jaquesmahn]

Hi, could you possibly make a sideways diving tutorial?
