This helped me so much thank you, I was having a hard time because this is my first time playing and no one told me where to stand as a middle blocker, so thank you so much!

[@pleasebitt]

Facts, I would ask the people who were getting annoyed by me where to stand and they'd just say it's not hard.

[@co0kii]

as a setter, this video helps my understanding of how to use my middles more effectively on each rotation

[@co0kii]

A problem I encounter is when the pass gets in the middles transition path. The middle can’t see it because they’re so focused on transitioning to their spike approach, they end up getting in the way of the setter - any advice? (other than pass better 😅)

[@oliviastone2390]

Hey Coach Donny! I was wondering what kind of warm ups/practice you have your players do when your not around for a short time? And thank you so much for your video's! they have helped me improve in my knowledge of the game and as a volleyball player, thanks!

[@bolesawkantak5948]

Love that you went deeper into the middle blocker stuff! As for suggestion, I'd like to see anything about covering (I belive that is what it's called) while your teammate attacks. I know it's kind of high-end compare to some stuff we see here, but as you are covering (not intended) both the basics and the advanced techniques, I'd say that might be useful for everyone. And since we already learned where to be on defense and receive - why not close the subject ;)

[@deasttn]

One key to covering your hitters is to stay low and pay attention. Seriously, it's not enough to just be there and not focusing on where the ball and defenders are. In other words, you need more than just muscle memory, you need to have mental focus. Oh...and if the set is real tight to the net, get ready because the defense is going to blaock the hitter.

Hi coach Donny, I just wanted to say thankyou for posting these videos. Very helpful. I am a school team player and You have inspired me so much and I hope to be as good as you some day. Please don't stop with your videos also this channel is damn underrated lol

[@Denkkar]

Thanks for the video. Middle blocker is a position I've struggled with and didn't have a clear picture of where and when to be in various places. Thus far I haven't played it much myself, but it will be useful to at least guide players just as clueless as myself out of blocking me from setting. I think my previous attempts to search for a video like this failed because I was querying for "footwork" instead of "transition". Drats!

[@tenderhearted2002]

These are very excellent videos!!! Well made, excellent explanations with really good examples - very understandable!!! Thanks for taking the time to make and share them! God bless!

[@minory1451]

It was really helpfull, thank you coach!

[@XxAKAxX24]

Very useful film examples. Thanks coach

[@dansilva8924]

Your videos are amazing... Very well explained, step-by-step and so easy to understand... You verbalise it, you show the graphics and then a real example using a volleyball match, highlighting the person and using slow motion... Your didactic presentation is AWESOME. Thanks so much for that! 😃😃😃😃

[@gomeesh37]

Do more of these! And make a video about stretching and warm-up routines please! I've seen Josh Barrina's video about warm-up as well.. do you do anything different? Is it worth making another video?

[@applebussy1684]

I have tryouts for high school in 2 hours so I need a refresher

[@takamichisoares338]

Loved this video! Thanks for your work once again. I have a question coach: Why are leftside hitters better-rounded players than rightside? I have noticed this in other places and specially on your explanation rotation (+ the video of course), the left side hitters are both put in receiving position while the rightside hitters are covered. I am really interested in this topic because I'm currently deciding between both positions besides libero and I'm wondering which would be better. Plus to help my team. Grateful for this channel, teacher!

[@noahdepelteau4925]

Great Video! Do you have any tips for syncing your arm movements with the steps and jump of a spike approach?

[@riyaz6408]

Thank you

[@guibatizta]

Useful one

[@jotrevisone2845]

thank you for making these videos. they are very useful.

[@jotrevisone2845]

I'm already doing it and everyone is liking your videos. Thanks for replying to my comment.

[@xheksjanokalari9748]

very good video can you do the same about opposites ??

[@afdkahn6490]

Please make a video about lift side hitter approach during rotations.

[@joshylurker3138]

Thanks donny i needed that help for this vid coz im 5'3 and im playing middle for my team even though i jump high coz my coach says i have speed

[@MIRA_CLE]

Wow 5'3 middle thats crazy!

[@khaidynasty]

cap ☠️☠️

[@MIRA_CLE]

@@khaidynasty this was 3 years ago but honestly I find it hard to believe that there is a 5'3 middle LOL

[@hungtran3855]

Hi Coach Donny, can you make a video on setter rotation?

[@amayanmunir4110]

Could you make a video on an outside hitter’s serve receive transition?

[@sagek123gmail]

can you make a video on how to improve your speed and reactions in receiving a fast ball/ botched recieve/ block follow.

[@Iddoo89]

All those transitions are for 5-1 set, yes ? :D By the way, you could make video about all those 4-2 5-1 and 6-2 sets with explainantion of all team rotations etc :D That would be great. And GREAT work coach!

[@DAVIDSSEKALEMBE-sc9cb]

I agree

[@samk6999]

Hey! Could you talk abt libero's?

[@NAE77752]

I have tryouts tomorrow so i need to learn about rotation haha

[@ameersyahiran6157]

hello coach... can back line spiker spike infront but from outside court

[@nyk32377]

You make a very clear rotational error at 6:00. The setter needs to have his outside foot closer to the left side line than the guy in the yellow jersey. Perhaps not the best example to showcase.

[@chrisparra7459]

nyk32377 bitch shut the fuck up

[@MusicSmash1815]

Elevate Yourself please make a video for setter serve/recieve rotations! Thank you!

[@duhfuhfh96]

he already did look up rotations either its a 6-2 or 5-1

[@marisolgonzalez536]

Setter and I collided after I blocked and now I’m not playing anymore. I took one step left after the block. Anyway these videos help

[@DAVIDSSEKALEMBE-sc9cb]

Attacker but injured my back while in air

[@Nodachii82]

Coach Donny, I'm 20, 5'4" and when I jump I have one shoulder above the net. Can I still improve my jumping vertical or should I practice my approach because to be honest I don't have a good approach when a ball is present.

[@Nodachii82]

I'll give it a shot next time Coach. I'm from the Philippines so I don't earn for myself yet. still in college. maybe whenever I get the chance to buy it I'll beep you. Thank you

[@KyledeLeon0]

What's R

[@chengyu1634]

I am sorry but it's so confusing! there is no rotation 2, from 1, and directly to 3.... didn't understand the middle blocker rotation.....

[@duckseekertv956]

I am a middle blocker and no spikes passes through me

[@aniiaa1154]

DuckSeeker TV same

[@ameersyahiran6157]

hello coach... can back line spiker spike infront but from outside court

[@ameersyahiran6157]

[@deasttn]

ameer syahiran only if part of the ball is below the net. The 3m (10 foot line) extends beyond the sideline, even if it is not marked in the floor with paint or tape.
