Asking about Erik being good person confirms that Zaksa is a club that cares and depends on great chemistry in the team. :> Cute.

[@xanthymalicdem8517]

next with tj Defalco😊

[@ramsayas7004]

I agree!

[@mikolajwojnicki2169]

He's playing sooo well currently

[@sageinsunspector]

Yessss!!

[@gavrielgutierrez4896]

Hey Erik!!!! I was wondering if you could watch the 2019 match between Higashiyama High and the V-League Team "Panasonic Panthers"??! The defence AND offence in this match is CRAZY and I'm sure you would love it!!! Also, players like Ran Takahashi, Otake, Fukatsu, Hisahara and others are featured in this match so it really is quite the watch!!!

[@lizeae]

You’re awesome David!!! 🔥💯❤️‍🔥

[@yehezkielsanjayatjong7872]

Omg I can't believe that Erik and David answered 2 my questions! I am speechless you guys and I can't be more grateful about it. Thank you Erik and David for answering all of our questions. I really like this kind of videos so I can know you guys a little bit better too. Love you guys😍

[@leabitterwolf8050]

19:52 😂 ...It's so cool that you two shared these interesting on- and off-court stories and experiences with us, Erik and David! As usual, I was amazed by this very high level of self-reflection and openess!

[@klara4431]

I really enjoyed this video! stay safe and good luck in your upcoming matches. bring these 12 points home!

[@Mcyabelo]

David is one of my favourite players!!! Kudos to David!!!!

[@edanmusickk]

Hey Erik ! I have a suggestion for a new video idea, which is the mental side of volleyball. I always see you so positive throughout your matches whenever you shank a serve or spike, or down by 5. What's the secret? and how did you improve/develop your mental toughness/mentality? This is something I struggle with and I assume many others do as well, hopefully you take this comment into consideration :)

[@lilawang2808]

good luck to Zaksa for the coming matches! #GOZAKSA

[@calebcerquena]

19:53 Whaaaaaatttttt??? 😂 Press this ↖️ Time Stamp multiple times.

[@jennypepster1462]

Awesome, awesome guy that David Smith.

[@mikolajwojnicki2169]

Great team chemistry/spirit must be why Zaksa is dominating the Polish league even though I think there are teams with a bigger budget.

[@ChiefJeyEf]

TJ Defalco or Ben Patch please. Please Erik! Or Jendryk. ❤️

[@HT-sd4to]

A very genuine and nice player. One of the talented vball player. PLEASE DON'T EVER RETIRED from TEAM USA!!!!! :) :) :)

[@realitycheck_]

Happy to have you in Poland. About to watch VNL semi USAvsPOL it's gonna be a battle!

[@lilnbigman]

Setting is much harder David you know that. We control the match which means it's harder on our bodies. Outstanding video Eric and David.

[@nicolevanheerden4965]

Good luck with your upcoming games!!!

[@bethanyvillero6900]

Congrats on the bronze, you two!

[@robertladisla7097]

Next TJ Defaclco 🔥🔥 I'm USA fans 💪🔥

[@moiskithorn]

4:52 - the look of a proud master realising that the 'pup' has been trained well. Hehe.

[@happytv1076]

Next Q n A with Holt and Russell please...

[@jaimesantos1170]

Better yet, why not a video calling out the russians for attacking ukraine. Of course erik shoji won't because he wants to play in Russia. But its ok for him to attack the libero of serbia for doing the asian eye. What a hypocrite.

[@PsychedelicPenne]

@@jaimesantos1170 I dunno if you’ve seen it but he has made a post about it. I don’t know how to link community posts (there doesn’t seem to be a “share” option) but yeah he has made a post addressing it

[@jaypeesaboy3504]

Next with Tommy Jaeschke David Smith 💪💪

[@kato1440]

You should give pro tips for liberos with Dustin Watten ;D

[@usavolleyball1035]

Love you guys

[@Jairorod7]

Where can I watch those matches? Especially the one vs lokomotiv and the one with lube? If you have the info it'll be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Erik, I'm coming to Zaksa to watch the match against Warta Zawiercie (hope that will happen). Can I and how can I come say hi and take a photo with you and Dave? #TeamZaksa

[@GucciFeet]

you should bring a sign with his name on it =D

[@kyzhao]

Wish you guys luck! And I think the picture of the last question is wrong, it's for another question.

[@calebmceachern7325]

Does anyone know the song in the intro?

[@lizeae]

[@juliansuarez3849]

[@tyroncasumpang8957]

[@katerinakanellopoulou263]

[@mikolajwojnicki2169]

Is it difficult for Dave to understand people wearing masks?

[@DHernandez5]

Erik my try outs are literally today I’m so nervous it’s my first time ever trying out, I’ll come back when I find out if I make it on the team!! *also I’m going for libero :D*

[@rhodvalenciaga2743]

[@BeatrizGomes-tw7rg]

[@volleyballstan1340]

Glad to see David Smith! 💪🙌

[@westigondczak6166]

David Smith speak very indistinctly i dont understanding him, but Eric speak very clearly

[@sweetfavorsdesignercakes4813]

He has a hearing impairment, which causes his words to be a bit indistinct.

[@punchmenowidareyou]

Love you guys!! Good luck at your games :)
