Listening to Micah talk about the decisions he makes really shows why he's as good as he is. Truly smart dude.

[@sophiatakeuchi4499]

Erik, I'm Brazilian and I've always had a grudge with the american team and now you're making me love you guys, c'mon!! JK, I'm very happy to see how the US team not only is a powerhouse but is also very nice.

[@181vivi]

Same here! I’m kinda liking them 😅

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Hey guys! So glad Micah could do this video with me! He drops so much setting knowledge it’s amazing! Which piece of advice as your favorite? Let me know! Yay volleyball! ALSO LINK TO MC11 GEAR IS IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX OF THE VIDEO!!

[@lennartxyz1952]

I just love how elegant and amazing Micahs Backsetts look.

[@lilawang2808]

Keeping it simple and focus on the fundamentals!

[@markthegreat3774]

Do not overthink. I usually do that. Great advice from Micah 🙌

[@ninoraymundsalazar8643]

Hello idol. I just wanna thank you for this video it made my day

[@aaronvidal4185]

Yey!!! Finally! Love to watch this. ❤️😊

[@karladriangandionco]

Micah is the perfect combination of cute, handsome, and talented! Indeed, he is one of the best setters in the world!

[@saylercausey9822]

Micah has a really nice older brother quality about him... like he’s back from college giving you advice. Idk I don’t have an older brother 😂 great vid Erik!!

[@a360pilot]

Why does this feel so natural? Like dude, that's the same guy who was dominating the match on TV and then suddenly, Oh hey Micah wassup? 😂 Well, thanks Erik for your wonderful channel.

[@Saraa147]

I love that you're both wearing Micah's shirt xD

[@thuringervolleyball3004]

It’s so nice to see videos like this where it shows that even if they’re Olympic volleyball players, they still seem so... human? It’s hard to remember that they’re just people when you watch them on TV so often. So enjoyable to see my idols talk and joke around with each other

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

thanks so much! one of the goals of my channel was to show the real guys and how we are off the court! we have such great guys on our team and i wanted to show that!

[@karlcabral8779]

We all know that Micah is extremely talented, but he’s truly a bae too 🥺🥺🥺

[@e.k.2615]

It’s just incredible like a worldclass setter is just on KZbin. Thanks Erik

[@elitebandit]

Its actually insane, we have a world class libero, and he brings on world class players.

[@e.k.2615]

@@elitebandit true man

[@PsychedelicPenne]

Totally. What an amazing opportunity for us. Huge thanks to Erik for what he's doing. This is just a goldmine of information and advice for players. I cannot exaggerate how cool it is that we have access to videos like these.

[@adibaqil1708]

the way he took the questions srsly, what I mean is (he think about it for more than 10 seconds), clearly he always has something in his mind to think about all the time.

[@adibaqil1708]

what im saying is, he is smarttt

[@toxeek9638]

Fun fact : micah's chair was 15 cm lower than erik's one so that he coule be in the screen🤣

[@noski33]

Micah is really endearing, his side gazes and all. He's just gorgeous

[@aveobazh]

Micah calling Verbov “coach” is so adorable, can’t wait for next season 🙌🏻

[@richmondlaureno5130]

Thanks for guesting Micah. My favorite and best setter. I hope you will guest Matt Anderson in your next video, please!

[@reynantecabuhat]

Second the motion. Jersey no. 1 next vid please. GOOD LUCK TO VNL 2021. Bring home the bacon.

[@jt_talabong]

When I met Micah at USAV Nationals in 2015 I was like wtf I didn’t know he was this tall 💀

[@compaqtube]

I demand to know Micah's skin care routine

[@blamontes6845]

Still waiting for Zaksa vs Trentino Super finals match reaction... watch it with David Smith

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

i plan on it!

[@edytajaworska]

@@ErikShojivolleyball oh, this will be epic!

[@reflex40]

Micah is like ya so I saw he was out of his normal position and the middle was only read blocking vs what he actually thought: it would look sick to do a long back set rn

[@XZA.B]

Micah and Bruno Rezende are easily my favorite players to watch play.

[@AsianSensationist]

Honestly, one of the best setters if not the best plus one of the best if not the best libero in the world. So amazing to just watch them do a reaction video

[@benthu3933]

love having a setter in a video, would love to see more analsys with setters!!

[@clairetian1783]

11:55 his voice omg

[@luans.9166]

Erik chose his best game as an out of system setter for Micah to react. Love it

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

;)

[@binsoisacademy9832]

Micah is very articulate and very good looking! He can be an actor.

[@jenniferfuentes7312]

Micah's my first reference when I first became a setter. His tosses have a beautiful curve going to the antenna (I can't maintain that form) and his awareness is really something.. Thank you Erik for letting Micah sprinkle his setting knowledge 😭😭 God bless you❤️

[@edgarsaultorrejonmoreno1857]

He’s actually a very good singer. Most Kamehameha (Micah’s high school alma mater) alumni are. 💙

[@primevolley3577]

Micah Christenson is like literal my role modal I watch his games and brake down his entire setting distribution. I want to know what drills he dose and how much he practices.

[@johncarlobaybay1015]

Watching from the Philippines, you (Erik Shoji) and Micah Christenson are my idols (I do playing as a libero, and as a setter too). Hoping one day to interact with you both, just to grant my wish come true and one day I'll have your both jerseys signed ❤️💯 I really idolize the way both of you are doing inside the court ❤️💯 just stay humble and give us a great play and games to VNL ❤️❤️❤️

[@drew_970]

Can’t wait to see USA in VNL and Tokyo Olympics!

[@thejoeyjason]

Micah is deffo the best setter right now. We don't talk about Bruno, no, no!!!

literally best video ever , we need another one like this he is very fun and both of you make a very nice explanations which makes the video even better

[@samanthagainey1756]

loved hearing his thoughts. setters minds just work different (in a good way). super interesting perspective, things i wouldnt have thought about.

[@carljadejanolino995]

Watching volleyball at this perspective makes me appreciate more the trajectories and arcs of the ball. It's just so amazing (wanna try some of those later). Furthermore, after hearing Micah's voice, it feels like he's someone you wanna hear reading bedtime stories before you sleep.

[@kkk-oo7xe]

love you Micah Christenson

OMG I’m glad I found your channel! Listening to 2 national team players talk through a match, how cool is that! I was thinking how much I would have loved to have listened to your forebears from the USA teams of the 80’s do the same for their great matches with Russia back in the day. Thanks to you both for these amazing insights! Loved it!

When I saw Micah for the first time at the 2019 World Cup against Japan and Brazil he looked a lot younger to me than i see him in this video lol at first sight me in those games I thought "if this guy is 25 yrs old it's a lot" greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@L_minkwitz]

Literally my favorite player in the world. Nice that you could make a video with him. Low key want to play like him one day😅

[@johnfrancisaldovino8132]

These two guys are one of the reason why I keep playing Volleyball💙😊

[@simplysimple7628]

Crazy to see you young men move on in life doing amazing things in a sport you all love and are amazing at. I’ve watched you guys from your high school days. Gotta follow the local talent here in Hawaii. I watched Micah play here In Hilo when he won his state championship in the newly built Keaau High School gymnasium against Punahou. Watching him play OH in high school and completely dominate that position to being the absolute best setter in the world is unbelievable but believable because of how well rounded you Hawaii boys are in volleyball. And Erik you make that difficult libero position look so easy it’s laughable. I had to comment to this. Huge support from Hilo. Aloha boys and keep at it. Great channel Erik!!🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@ten20onee74]

micah seems like such a cool dude
