Definitely one of my top 5

[@2Swift4u]

[@seaincook]

Thankfully

[@JoghurtmitSahne]

A scoreboard would level up this video so much xD Anyways well played!

[@seaincook]

Working on it!

[@averagejuni5146]

there's a score board in the far back on the right side

[@peter_m_volleyball]

Crazy way to end the game on that serve

[@seaincook]

Somebody was heckling hard and got him all fired up….didnt work out well for us

[@leo-zd6io]

I was watching from the sidelines behind the referee, very cool experience.

[@birdb3055]

[@maxglassman2175]

[@particularalexnadre]

The girls practicing during the break, hitting the ball against the men's net harder than me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adamzalewski6135]

Love these videos! Thanks for all the uploads ❤

[@seaincook]

Appreciate it thank you.

[@juliocesarbolivar4936]

Me gusta mucho más Taylor Sander , cuando jugaba Voley de cancha , en arena no está mal, pero no le veo allí su máximo potencial

[@JNVB127]

Hey Seain! Thank you a lot for the uploads it has been really entertaining. There was an amazing show of balance and awareness of taylor on his pass at @51:49 and i was wondering if i could use that clip to post on tik tok.

[@seaincook]

Feel free

[@mollyjacobsen715]

I came for the double bird at the end 😂

[@seaincook]

Hahaha

[@asianmtl]

Some attitudes in the matchs here...Referee is to nice

[@seaincook]

Attitudes?! Never!!!!

[@melikyandgelo5275]

52:00 why that not fault? After block they do 3 touches52:00 why that not fault? After block they do 3 touches

[@andrey_sautenko]

Cool game! Seain, please show the score next time. It's not hard to do =)

[@seaincook]

You got recommendations of overlays I can use?

[@andrey_sautenko]

@@seaincookyou can try shortcut. Maybe it's not the best strategy and probably will grab about 1,5 - 2 hours of your life, but.. You can overlap a pic with a score after every point, i mean the pic shows up and after 1 - 2 secs it hides in the right corner. Of course I realize this is a bit dummy work. Anyway, thanks for the video, it was a pleasure to watch such a good game.

[@overwatchgale4640]

Nice upload!! Still think it’s odd sander and crabb switched sides. Sander is so much better on the right! And crabb can play either side, but he’s super good on the left!

[@seaincook]

They won Manhattan sooo they are on to something

[@overwatchgale4640]

⁠@@seaincookI won’t deny they played very well at Manhattan, however Sander is very good at crossbody swings-and not super good at wrist away. I think it can be exploited by serving sander and blocking his line, which he then proceeds to hit so hard it tools most blocks-but is a step in the right direction. However there are times where he is on fire on the left side, but it’s not as consistent as him on the right side… I don’t think

[@2Swift4u]

@overwatchgale4640 First of all Sander crushed it every time he was served, so he can't be that bad on the left side. Secondly they most likely switched so that Sander can hit easier on 2. Which for a right handed player is obviously easier on the left side. If you have a guy on your team with that much firepower your goal has to be to get him more involved offensively. Sander/Crabb won't be able to compete with the best in the world if they only play traditional 1-2-3 volleyball all the time.

[@overwatchgale4640]

@@2Swift4uYou make good points, but I will try to explain my reasoning in a different way. First, I never said sander was bad on the left side. He’s very good, but his wrist away is not as good as Crabb’s wrist away. Crabb is better on the left, and Sander is better on the right because of his ability to crossbody so well. Second, optioning once or twice for a point isn’t going to take them to the next level. If anything, those quick plays they do are more effective… even though it’s a 1-2-3. Also, Norway uses a 1-2-3 and they win almost everything. Then you have Perusic and then Nicolai from Italy, all these guys do 1-2-3 and are the best. Sure they option every now and then, but it’s not like Sweden or Partain. Sander’s range is not as good on the left side as it is on the right side, and Crabb is a lot better on the left side… watching him play with Gibb took the world by storm. I hope you know that Crabb would NEVER get served internationally because he was so good and so tricky on the left side. Taking that away is not a good strategy in my opinion either. They’re also a team of highs and lows. When they’re on fire, I’ll put some money on them against Norway or Sweden any day. But when they’re on their lows it is VERY low. That’s why a more consistent side is better for the international stage, or they adopt a new style completely. But, I’d love to be proved wrong and if Crabb and sander are consistently amazing then I am happy to see it.

[@diamondhyena5631]

Sander is way better on the right? What are you smoking?

[@BryanMalloch]

I liked the amount of screen time I had in this match

[@seaincook]

Should just be all you all the time!!!

[@volleyballvideos6426]

1:00:40 Wow!

[@seaincook]

Epic rally

[@EricCamBeachVolleyball]

Cook and Sander competing for that tanning product sponsor

[@seaincook]

Hahaha I think his beats me out!

[@connorbeerk]

scoreboard pls

[@seaincook]

Will look at getting an overlay

[@jaminga123]

Man U guys really cracked under pressure in the 2nd set there. Should've called a timeout after not being able to sideout

[@seaincook]

We felt like we had them. Also after the timeout and letting him get back to it is scary. After they called timeout he absolutely rifled me

[@amine.chraibi]

1:06:23 🤔

[@neebell5056]

This female comments from the off are quite annoying. Otherwise great match.

[@seaincook]

[@journeyisending]

[@emmimarks1655]
