Don't worry bro, everyone starts somewhere. Remember, the best players you have seen were in your position once. Beating up yourself only lowers your self confidence and makes the entire experience worse overall. Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to where yesterday. Hope this helps
My biggest problem is constantly thinking I could be doing more. When I take a break I can’t help but think I could be playing practising and overall getting better. I feel like I’m wasting time I could use to improve.
A cool bit of advice I leaned that may look familiar to some is this: "This is still volleyball," and "sharpen the saw." All the little self-care things are still part of volleyball. You do them so you can play at your peak. Using a dull blade is far more dangerous than a sharp one, so take the extra time to sharpen it instead of trying to "save" time using a dangerous one. Remember, you got this
You can potentially train for volleyball every day. Buy a volleyball so you can practice ball control at home with yourself. And also go to gym and do strength and prehab exercises.
I have played middle since the very beginning so I never got a good arsenal of offensive touches. All I can basically do is hit hard and quick. I also struggle with the timing of outside,oppo and back row attack timing. Anyways thank you for this great video and these awesome tipps
My main issue is oddly enough not one related to playing volleyball, but actually finding where to play. I live in Chile, and I'm guessing some other countries outside of the US could have this same problem, where volleyball is not that mainstream, so finding places to play in public or even courts to rent is impossible. To this, we add the problem that if you're getting into volleyball at a later age, the category you can play is jumbled up with everyone above 19 or 20 years old, no matter if you're 30 or 40, so most of the clubs that look for people in these categories, expect you to have experience in order to enter. All in all, not something that can be addressed in a video, and everyone's situation is different, I'm glad I found one! But the biggest battle to some people out there, specially at later ages, might just be finding where to play and people that accept them and include them in the first place. Great video!!!
if you can't find somewhere to play I think there are some apps where people post dates on which they play volleyball (usually outdoors) and since it's for fun they accept anyone even if they're a newbie. idk if it's available everywhere and I forgot the name but it could be useful
you can always buy a ball and practice by yourself, watch videos that provide tips so that when you reach a decent level u can join one of those ove 19 clubs with a bit of your own experience
my biggest issue at the moment is my serving. i used to be so good at it but i was only decent at the other skills. now that i’m good at the other skills, my serving skills have gone down
Great video. I am 31 and started playing outdoor last year in a pretty competitive league. Love your mindset and enjoyed the tips here. One thing I would love advice on is how to time your jump when blocking this might be common knowledge already but do I jump at the same time as the hitter, slightly before or after? Keep up the great work you got a new subscriber
the current mistake i have at the moment is overthinking my sets. when the ball comes my way i think who to set to and where they want it and start doubting if i can get it there its a bad habit but i cant find a way around it.
Just throw the set man. Just toss the set how u know how and see how to adjust afterward. Trust me if u spend too much time overthinking, you will get overwhelmed and make more mistakes. 👍👍👍
Fun fact about me! In middle school I jump float instead of jump serving even tho I knew hot to jump serve. My jump float is fast and it looks like it’s going into the net (if ya know what I mean) and i was known throughout my middle school for being the “killer server” on the volleyball team. The reason why is because I had almost about 9 aces per set. Also cause people accidentally take my serve with their face💀
i´m a beginner in volleyball can you please make a video for timing the spikes? i sometimes hit in the net although i can easily jump high enough to hit it over, my timing is that bad. Love your Videos
One of my issues with me being a Sutter is not always giving the sets that my teammates want because I tend to forget that when I’m all focused in the game
My biggest bad guy in volleyball 🏐 is my servers are never consistent. I can't serve over sometimes or I it get out. I can serve it over but sometimes I can't. 😢
The rest part really makes the biggest difference. I have experienced this is many sports, as I have played quiet a few different sports before playing Volleyball. Just taking a break for 2-3 weeks from playing your sport sometimes made me better than actually practicing my technique, no idea how that is possible…
i want to be a outside hitter and my biggest issue is nobody on my team passes to me to hit. They is pass to there friends. Another issue is that I don't know when to jump to hit.
Bro just trust me when I say this but if you have no equipment use stairs and jump up one stair then down and the two stairs then down and practice jumping your highest
can you do a video on setting tips because i’m not doing to hot and it’s making me lose motivation to play that position but i love volleyball and setting 😢
The way I look at comparison is thinking of it as motivation like comparing myself to a pro who can hit harder jump higher receive better I love to compare myself to them and tell myself I need the practice and improvement so yeah it’s more of a motivation for me
Recently I have found out the water and sleep have made me play at least 3x better. I also have a bad habit of not stretching, because my coach rn think that it is better to start playing slowly then stretch but I think I am going to start stretching
My number one issue is not being able to get enough power in my serves, I haven’t been in a team yet so I don’t have a position, I think I’m going to be a libero since my defence is better than my offence… and my inability to do a powerful serve…
My biggest issue is I play at high school at breaks and there are to many people wanting to play and it gets so crowded and they never practice just all run for the ball and ruin the game :(
I see the thumbnail of being a middle is a mistake and I just think, "I really should've been a Libero.." (me being the tallest in the team and also middle) 😭😭. But I mean, I always get set, sooo-
For me its being goofy footed. I thought I fixed it but I noticed last week on my jump serve approach I am still goofy. Back to practicing Ig. Progress on the hitting approach though as I am no longer goofy while hitting
my biggest issue so far is my vertical, leading to a bad play. This is probably because we play in high nets and I'm only in 7th grade standing at 5'5 or 166.
The "loosing the plot" Section is something that im struggling with at the momment and its because some of the players at my school are talking bad behind my back on the court and they dont want me to join the team at all and im a BIG Junior and i asked the state im in to make a Males volleyball team a while ago in middle school and im having a hard time because that happened the WHOLE time in conditioning also since im a BIG guy i have a hard time to do the running drills of conditioning but can play volleyball for like 7 hrs but im trying im playing volleyball for fun and to use it as a outlet and im Just in a rough spot with the sport.
My biggest problem is that I cross my arm too much when hitting and my hits go out a lot. Also when in back row my receives are too tight at the net a lot.
My biggest issue is my jump serve Im a consistent floater trying to learn top spin But every time i try to put spin on my serve it just defaults to float This just results in me launching the ball into orbit or rarely accidentally managing to put top spin on it
The biggest mistake is not getting knowledge and doing prehab for the most common and destructive injuries: Jumpers knee, and ankle sprain. You can still play with jumpers knee, but it can reduce your efficiancy by 50%. And it can take years to heal (and you should not play while you have it) It is really bad. So do excercises that prevent it before you get it. Same with ankle (but you kinda train ankle and knee at the same time)
I dont jump high because ive never trained up until now, ive been training my vert for 2-3 weeks now, soamd my vert vent from 24 inches to 26 ish inches im hoping it continues
I've been playing volleyball for a couple years now but it has always been mostly as middle, now I find it hard to transition to other positions, I don't see the opportunities to practice the skills for other positions and whenever we are playing friendlies ppl already have me as middle so I find it hard to ask for another position
5-6 days for hours a WEEK? Damn we ’train‘ 1-2 days a MONTH! for like 1.5-2 hrs. Sadly in my area there are actually no other ‘teams‘ than mine. The next one is 25km away. I wish I could train nearly as much as you.
Stretching is so real bro. Like some of y'all might say it's cliche or it really doesn't do anything but trust me bro it fricking does. I'm not a volleyball player but I used to be a silat trainee, and I remember back in 8th grade Im not a trainee no more but I was still quite active in martial arts, so when we saw the wushu team training we joined in since we have no classes that time and just to have fun after all it's allowed and they also wants us to join. So we joined right and bruh the frickin instructor didn't even give us the damn chance to stretch and like a quarter way of the whole training sesh my friends and I and other players who just joined in were already tired, like our bodies were barely working. 2 of my friends have motivate each other to just do one push up and one of the instructors was pulling my tank top just to help me do a push up(W to that instructor tho he was super nice)
i have 2 main issues, receiving and doing run ups for spikes. everytime i receive I either send it the wrong way or hit it too high causing it to be a free ball for the other team, and for my run ups its whenever i go to spike i always forget like oh im spiking and I end up jumping in place and getting not enough height but yeah thats my main 2 issues
Can anyone help? Im going to volleyball club as soon as school starts and im kind of bad at the game and im scared all the other players there will be way better and ill just not enjoy or want to play volleyball there what should i do
8:09 Ok, thanks for the advice, but I can barely go three days without playing so I'm probably not going to be able to take a month off 😅😅😅I would rather melt in 110 degrees and play volleyball than not play volleyball at all 😃😃😃😃 Edit: Yes, I am Arizonan ☀☀☀
I think knee pats are quite usefull or else I'll end up without any skin on my knees. by the way did you see the Volleyball olympics? I only saw it once. why is Volleyball so unfamous? it makes me so mad!
My tosses for overhands trying to do jump serves but my coach isn’t letting me practice jump serves since my tosses for overhands are always behind me so I have to reach back to hit it and it goes diagonally with no power
