For me it's always during the pass because there's this pressure that the pass has to be a good one to make it everything else easier :D

[@Arn3tt]

I feel really stressed when passing and attacking, I believe I could be at least 50% a better player if I had control over my mind. I will try focusing on being 'lazier' this week and see how that goes, thanks BBV!

Yeah same with me, I think when you’re just trying to have fun you go into that kinda flow state, but when you try hard to win you lose that.

@@camm9534 you definitely nailed it with 'flow state'!

[@matthewgee3317]

During the attack because I'm a shorter player that can barely reach over the net in sand. So I worked plenty on defense, passing, setting and serving. But on offense can't find a good groove because I'm always setting others and not getting set back.

[@nicolaspfeffer6145]

Play with the middle and then poke left and right

Digging cut shots. I’m bracing myself for hard hits, my body is too stiff and can not go get easy ball falls in front of me!

[@marquisavila1338]

I’ve started playing Volleyball at a local place and y’all’s tips help so much I’m still working on everything and getting better and my friends have said I’ve been getting better every week so thank you guys ❤🏐

[@katespack6354]

Attacking because I was libero in university and so attacking was my least practiced skill. This was helpful, I will be trying this.

[@joeylin9607]

I tried this out today when hitting and it helped 100%. I thought "lazy", but what I really felt was my body becoming more flexible and getting better connection through the feet, legs, torso, arms and finally wrist snap. More like a whip than a bat (if that makes sense?). Anyways, it worked! Thanks!

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Awesome, so glad to hear it!! Yes, totally makes sense - that's what we want it to feel like :)

[@johnnomadic8270]

I literally have been watching every player that I think is better than me look like they are putting in 1/10th the effort I am. Way underrated volleyball tip here.

[@robertpeters6793]

I am one of those guys who get so excited about hitting that I get to the ball early. Good vid

[@DangNguyen-yg4gw]

These tips are phenomenon. Although, I wouldn't use the word lazy. It's energy efficiency

[@isabelarodriguez2291]

Definitely the pass is where I am the most stressed, I'm actually that player that always gets really low on my position because I used to think the lower I am to wait for the serve, the more control I will have over the ball. Now I realized that I'm stressing out too much about exactly that control that I want to have on the pass, and I will certainly be changing my approach to serve-receive with a lazier position!! Thank you Brandon :)

[@stefan9870]

I definitely feel the most stressed when attacking. I've seen your video where you talk about emphasizing the first two steps to be really slow and the last two steps should feel explosive, so I'm working on that curently :)

[@stevendipalma4441]

I would love to see a video dedicated to find the open spaces on the court when attacking. Seeing the defense and placement of the hit is my biggest struggle.

[@Iffy50]

Being able to see the ball and the defense at the same time is a very advanced skill. I've been playing high level volleyball for 2 decades and I don't know many people that can track the set, see the block, get their timing right and see the defense. Personally I've had a lot of success slicing the ball so it's difficult for defenders to line up with my swing. This is very effective for me when I hit line from the weak side. When you play 2's does your partner call out where to hit if you have a blocker?

[@brunoscope6766]

Attacking for sure

[@yellowleaf28]

My attack- I’m the big rusher. And you can always tell the newbie passer by their exaggerated squat stance while the server is going through their serving prep/routine, they’re tender for 2xs as long as I am in their signal that they’re ready for a tough serve

[@gabyne1]

Thanks for these great tips! I'm most stressed before attacking. With passing and setting, the movements seem quite automated but with attacking, there's always so much to think about: where's the ball, the net, the opponents, take two aggressive steps, swing the arms back, point to the ball, stay behind the ball, have your elbow back, contact at the highest point...🤪 So relaxing more could help!🤣

[@stefan9870]

Can you make a video on how to receive a hard driven spike? About positioning your arms and legs/hips when absorbing energy?

[@brandonjoyner6046]

I like this idea!

[@barboratichackova4556]

I feel like this advice applies on indoor vb too!! Love it❣️

[@Bebela1ms]

Really interesting video guys, I wish more people would’ve seen and understand what you saying because getting to that “lazy” só talked about mean that you are in control of yourself physically and mentally. Loving the contents keep it up coaches ❤️

I usually feel the most tension in the attack. Thank you - this video helped me relax on the court! Watching all your videos! This is very helpful content!

[@froschfrosch3265]

I actually was intuitively thinking the same thing after a long Beachvolleyball break. Kinda cool that this video is out here

[@wreckedfacepavel]

definitely during the pass. thank you for the video

[@GregLipari-kb9tz]

Lately most of my stress is playing defense. Figuring out the proper body angle to the opposing player. Thanks Greg, Santa Cruz 831, main Beach!

[@tonybowen455]

This is for BB to A level grass here in Denver, but on defense knowing when they score a low percentage good shot and not adjusting to it prematurely. I see it a lot at BB, but as people get to AA they know better when to chill out instead of adjusting to a low percentage play.

[@michaelwinter3696]

I like this vid a lot. Because it reminds me, when Iam had a rought night before tourement or training, and maybe drunk to much. And at the next morning a very lasy on the cout, the out there, I made the best plays. For sure not as long, if Iam not going this direction, BUT now I've got the key. Thanks for reminding and putting this online!

[@tylerclaburn7700]

Couldn’t have described my experience while playing any better. The most I’d say is when attacking and in the second step. This led to me “jumping” the set and getting under it or having to adjust to a set last minute because I basically guessed where it would be before actually seeing it. Very helpful!

[@itsmaeday782]

this is so valueable! Thank you! Can't wait for lockdown to be over to try this out :')

[@vbsand5882]

Great vid

[@gunarslodzins]

Definitely during the pass. Especially if we did not side out and this is the second serve that I need to pass.

[@kimnimol7031]

Thank you!

[@reidnishikawa1186]

Brandon, great points to relax. Passing causes the most stress as the offense depends on the pass to be successful.

[@sarahlza2179]

Very useful, thank you :)

[@LV75]

These words are Gold to me. I've always thought the "sitting" starting pass position makes you feeling like you're doing squats. The saddest thing is that every coach I have had tought that to me. The most important thing, in my opinion, is keeping the feet "light", as if the sand's burning: this is for every moment during the match. Anyway, the pass position is the most critical from this point of view.

[@stevendipalma4441]

Thanks, Iffy. I am not a tall players, so I don't often have a block up to contend with .That said, I an working on varying my shots to keep the defense moving and guessing. I have played with people who seem to know when the defense shifts and moves, which is something I have not figured out.

Currently I'm more stressed during the pass and more relaxed during the set. The attack is often a mix.

great points. I have to keep them in mind during the game specifically when playing under pressure. Could you please make video explaining at what part of an attack an attacker should look at the ball and at opponents

[@frieater]

can you make a video on the right technique for cut shots? I feel like from the left side its much more natural, so im really looking for advice for the right side

[@berliozz85]

Definitely the passing but after watching a few of your passing videos I know why. I have been doing it wrong for only 20 years. It is time to change now for the next 20.

[@nathanbranson3765]

Just have fun. Don't try too hard and that normally helps me relax and play better but also improve because I don't get mad at myself when I make a mistake. I say "that wasn't great. what did i do wrong?" and learn from it and move on. Don't dwell.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Totally agreed!! Every mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow. Awesome mindset to have :)

[@aleksey-kruglikov]

Y’all do a pretty darn good job

[@james_laing]

Great vid, thanks mate. Definitely find more stressful attacking when trying hard to sideout - if you haven't won in a few points. Trying to stop a slide of points. Obviously affects what you try next and possibly therefore less likely to work.. Mentally I guess always play each ball on its own merits alone.

[@GifvoivPlays]

I'm definitely stressed while setting - I rush to get under the ball early and aim for a hand set since I am more confident at hand set than bump set. I will try to take a slower approach to get under that while still getting there in time.

[@voleisub-obito1155]

My steps after passing are definitely super stressed (i recorded). I thikn that's because the thing I struggle the most is the aproach footwork and the jump. Great tips, guys. Thanks!

[@brandonjoyner6046]

Try finding the “timing step”/first step on the setters touch!

[@RD-wg2nt]

Yeah pretty much agree with all of this and already play with this mindset and approach. Stress for me comes from serving inconsistently, and defending - to approach the net or not? I’m currently at an intermediate level, so still developing facets of my game.

[@jameyhowell73]

I feel the most stress when being attacked, LOL. But for this video, yep, the same, attacking. I get so excited to try and blast a hit down the line or hard angle that I feel like I don't have the power I should or I tick the net, etc.

[@thanhn2001]

Great tips. I definitely have many of these faults. I can't wait to get back out to the beach and be lazy.

[@jeremysperling483]

I'm most stressed on my pass. Whether it's communication on who tf gets the middle, or just getting to where the ball is going in time. It's weird that I can't get to the ball in time. I feel I have great hand/ eye coordination, I feel like I track the ball just fine. I've played outfield in baseball and wr in football, but yet I'm late getting to the ball in volleyball.

[@ercanonge527]

man, attacking is the most stressful part of the game. esp fot a guy like me that failure is kind of guaranteed, the moment I see the ball set towards me, I get completely lost and I find myself either on the net or on the ground with the ball. I practise and practise on my own and everytime I say " now I got it!" but next time I go out to play ...... you know what

[@galaxy_mosaic3587]

I'm rewatching this video. I think right now I'm stressed on the passing. not from the serve, I'm maybe a little too relaxed for that bc I'm accustomed to my servers now. but I think when I have to cover the short cut shots, I am mentally kind of stressed about it. hitting, I'm still figuring out and I think maybe my footwork causes me stress. my arm mechanics are actually getting better and once in a while I can get that whipping motion without thinking about it. thank you

[@Bashill]

I stress the most when the ball is in reach of someone on my team and he doesn't bother trying to run up to it or hit it. It's really annoying when you try to defend yourself and score points and someone on your team just loses them because he doesn't want to raise his hands.

[@nataliaokla4627]

how to find the open spaces on the court when attacking. A video about seeing the defense and placement of the hit would be nice

[@c.a.martinez.vb10]

I am already pretty relaxed as a player but I have trouble with being too strict during the passing on serve receive. It might be because I am thinking too far ahead with hitting, but I have been trying to practice doing one thing at a time. Also a question is for someone new starting to look at tournaments out of town, what is a good way to find them?

[@galaxy_mosaic3587]

I'm the most stressed in my hitting. I feel super dependent on the setter and also kind of forgot how the timing of the footwork and swing mechanics feels in my body (I can sort of envision it). but with passing and setting, I feel pretty relaxed (except for receiving a hard spin skyball serve). I can sort of try to remember to feel more relaxed on the pass but I actually love to defend and so I look forward to getting that tough serve/spike, etc...

[@amyoshiko]

Eu fico ansioso quando vou atacar.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

totally normal! if you feel anxious, take a conscious breath while your partner is setting to remind yourself not to rush in early on your approach

[@amyoshiko]

@@betteratbeachvolleyball I'll answer by google translate, because I don't understand English, but I'm struggling to learn. When I went to play on Copacabana beach, here is Brazil, I tried to execute your instructions breathing so as not to get anxious, I executed the fundamentals of passing, raised and cut.

I am super stressed on the serve coming against me, it is my main weakness I would say, although it has gotten better, I am a ex-pro bball player, started playing beach volley 2 v 2 in June, 2021, so about 6-7 months now, and I see improvement. But I need to relax, when I play mixed games I relaxed a lot more. Masculine matches are where I get super tense.

[@ItsSuperiorr]

for me it is during the attack, I always run up too fast bc i get antsy with it and excited. plus i am only about 5"10 in height so i always struggle with whether i think the ball will be at the right spot when i am at peak height of my jump

For me it's during the set, my hitter has a problem that he always approaches so fast and waits the ball under the net.I'm not an official setter of my team and i have a problem that when I set, I couldn't see where the hitter is.So I think that setting the ball to the edge is the best for him but after I sent the ball to the edge and I look at him,he is waiting the ball in center.and because of that when I set the ball to the middle,he is approaching to the edge.and then I get complained.me the worse setter 🙂

@@jay7tennis I think it might be because on solid ground you are used to getting your power from your toes while in sand every movement if also more taxing. What I’m getting at is try placing more of your weight on your heels to get more power per step. It’s well known that when you jump on sand you rely more on your knees and your foot for the jump so maybe apply more weight to your heels and your footwork should improve.
