[@ikevolley5137]

Donny your vert is increasing 💪 you are doing well my man❤️✊🏽

[@josephgovada]

Please make a video about jumping techniques ( how to hold our legs parallel to the ground for flying some distance from jumpline to over the midline)

[@watsonsehn3519]

Really want to see the review of the KD14s! I’ve been wearing the KD13s and I love them ! Just really want to know your ideas about the different jumping and landing reaction between Nike zoom and Asics foam!

[@danielt5794]

BROOOOO STRAIGHT. I have. Pair of the kd 14s in white and would love to hear his opinion on them amazing shoe. Been commenting on all his recent videos where he has been wearing these shoes hopefully he sees the comment and will make a review on them! 😊

[@Aisluin]

oooh I hope that's his next shoe review

[@danielt5794]

def need a review of those kd 14's! LIT

[@danielcrespo9445]

Great to see the guys back at it again. What makes a middle effective? Scoring or blocking ?

[@NicholasSunderland]

Both + being an active threat in transition & serve receive, etc.

[@fitznzk7575]

Baiting enemy's blocker

[@cjcharlestennis]

Scoring blocking and deceiving

[@danielcrespo9445]

@@NicholasSunderland MH that are active in SR sure help. Scoring in transition is quite a challenge. Both scenarios are heavily reliant on the quality of both the first and second touch. If I can add, a MH that can identify S and 1st option during pre serve (when blocking) goes a long way too

[@danielcrespo9445]

@@fitznzk7575 that’s decided by the quality of the 1st touch. Imagine running a gap or 1 and the S is 20 feet off the net :)

Hi from Brazil, my teammates loves your videos!

[@Rickbakker321]

Nice game, great defense coach.

[@JJZER0]

2:08 was a crazy serve

[@tjaytruong3835]

it was pretty average

[@agapagoombs8758]

Quality content as always

[@WhimsicalChap]

I'm early af, just want to say I love your videos (especially these scrimmages)

[@Overkillpro]

How is this camera perspective called? Are there videos of national games with this perspective?

[@harr2345]

I think the term for it is "Court Level View". Look up "USA vs Brazil Highlights (2017-8-19), Day 2 of USAV Cup". It will not disappoint!

[@Overkillpro]

@@harr2345 Thanks!

[@Myas662]

that dump on 4:00 was cool

[@williamthao3292]

Coach, how are you liking the new KDs to play volleyball in?

[@blublu5635]

I havent seen the left handed gut in the latest videos is he ok?

[@Felix-oy5ky]

When can we see competitions with your Team?

[@persuitofharmony1659]

Coach can you pls still comment on the Olympic Final Match between France and Russia?

[@jl_ax]

Can you try the first person pov?

[@yaswanthtenali9183]

coach please make video on tokyo olympics final

[@durantedavide2620]

Is it possible to go to high leagues and be a spiker being 1.69 meters?

[@Mustafa-sf3np]

its not impossible, increase your vertical by exercising a lot if u are a great spiker with a lot of explosive jumping power and additionally being small and fast that could make you a great player

[@WhimsicalChap]

the guy on the other team with the black mask and tank top plays and looks kinda like you coach. Is he your evil twin?

[@manchesterisblue283]

Fr looks like coach donny but thinner

[@mouldytea3732]

I think it's josh barrina bit I'm not too sure

[@finn3883]

@@mouldytea3732 yeah it’s josh

[@Tough_help]

my coach just told me I will be playing middle blocker this season. it's my first position I got and so also my first time as a middle, anyone got any tips for me

[@michaelcitarella4879]

Coaches most likely won’t tell you this but it requires having a very good volleyball IQ to be an effective middle. You’re in the center of all the action and must be efficient in knowing where to block and hit.

[@NicholasSunderland]

If it's your first season, focusing on general volleyball fundamentals will be more valuable than anything else (learning how to reach high on hits, block penetration, serving, passing, digging, setting, etc) since you've got your whole career ahead of you. overly general IK but that's where the money is made.

[@Tough_help]

@@NicholasSunderland I've played volleyball for 5 years now actually, here in Belgium (where I live) you don't play in a school team so you get a potition, once you're in the 'under 17 category', you'll get assigned with one but still thank you very much

[@NicholasSunderland]

@@Tough_help Good luck this season 👍👍

[@Tough_help]

@@NicholasSunderland thank you!!

[@timfangrad5173]

Because what is a successful volleyball team without strong middles?

[@josepramirez6050]

3:57 Not the setter touching the net and nobody noticing.

[@orestiosoalithinos1336]

Please reply so my shoulder cracks and there is a pain every time I extend it upwards and I have pain when spiking. Every time I extend my hand upwards it makes a crack sound and I feel pain in my shoulder. What should I do to stop the cracks and pain

[@g.a.8661]

you should go to the doctor or a qualified physical therapist and have it checked. No one can provide an accurate response online without a proper look at the shoulder, and if it cracks and you feel pain, definitely is something the doctor should look at (in my case, I had "shoulder impingement" injury that hurt when spiking - but no crack sound; and that needed physical therapy and specific exercises to heal, that the doctor recommended; so, when you have such pain, always the best answer is look for doctor help, instead of listening to random injury advice online)

[@zareefhossain6871]

1:15 is that donny's twin brother? Cos for me they look alike but with a mask on.

[@saitou9649]
