Day in the Life of a USA Volleyball National Team Player

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Hey guys! Just want to say thanks for watching the video and I hope you enjoy it! This is just a glimpse into the life of a USA Volleyball player! Should I do a Q&A soon? Trying to think of what i want to do next! Let me know with a comment! :) yay volleyball!

[@lilawang2808]

Good opportunity to have some of the team answer some questions! 😁 Team USA gear haul?? Maybe talk about how their pro seasons went? Lol - some of the auto-translate captions are hilariously bad 😂

[@confetti4423]

Rooting for you guys to get that 🥇🏆 in tokyo!!!

[@bobjoe7327]

maybe getting to know some guys on the national team better? I would really enjoy that!

[@elvislimboy9103]

Do an interview with your teammates specially Micah hehe. That would be amazing☺️

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

I am doing videos with some of the guys from the NT. Hope you enjoy those!

[@elvislimboy9103]

As a volleyball fan, i must say we need more of this🥺Thank u for giving us the chance to see how's your daily life as a vball player☺️ love from the philippines🇵🇭

[@tr1ckwizard827]

Eric is literally my favorite libero of all time. I’m a hitter but I try to learn everything I can about defense from this legend

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

wow thank you for the kind words! keep working!

[@hdenton]

Jesus I knew volleyball players are tall, but everyone looks huge!

[@black_star6077]

Yeah, I think Liberos and possibly setters bring the average down, but otherwise they're all 2 m (with many being way taller)

[@tesslee2001]

And then there's the Russian volleyball team...... Totally different breed of human beings, they're feeaking GIANTS! 🤣

[@iliyamishev2820]

@@tesslee2001 cuz they are slavs the slavs are typically very high i know it cuz I'm from slavic country (Bulgaria)

[@joenowlin968]

Yeah! Erik is 6 foot and is still “short” compared to the other players

[@no-one7672]

We need more of this!😍

[@ysi7045]

People who play sports always seem a little bit happier than the rest of us, makes me happy to see!

[@PitonRena]

Hey Erik. That was SO AMAZING!!! See, I will never be a olympic athlite, and thats ok, I'm a Geography teacher and I love what I do, here in Brazil. But is SO SO SO nice to have a glimpse of a life that I admire. Thanks a lot, loving this videos. It makes a world so far waya a little closer!

[@tomasbessasciacca2176]

CAN BEN PATCH ME UP???? U gotta do a video with him! I beg you

[@userrdm14]

I'm not American but I love the US volleyball team, you're all soo good 💗💗

[@DagmaraC08]

I am so happy that you have decided to show us one day in the national team. I can only imagine how much work it takes to manage all tasks you need to accomplished during your day (including the edition of this video) but I think this is exactly what the volleyball word need! The videos give me the opportunity to get to know you better and I am looking forward to seeing you in ZAKSA. Greetings from Poland

[@dorotheaw]

the training apparatus slowly moving as you do exercise sent me lmao

[@jerichomendoza8883]

Watching your team out of the court is a privilege 👌🏽

[@andreae1332]

Patch is so beautiful i swearrrrrr

[@Simply_saikyo]

What I wish for. Sadly some complications happened and I found out I couldn’t play volleyball this season. I was really sad, but watching volleyball content in general has made me feel better

[@bobjoe7327]

its so cool seeing the pro volleyball life, loving the vlog content!

[@Destamoon]

Crazy to see you guys do skills, conditioning and strength all in the same day

[@lacynylons6317]

Taylor Averill and Ben Patch!! Those 2 are bffs 😊. I hope Averill makes the Olympic team, he played so well in France this season and his team won the league there.

[@yehezkielsanjayatjong7872]

Hi erik, i haven't told you but i'm just your fan from Indonesia.I really like watching USA volleyball NT playing, especially when 2015-2016 when you with matt,sander,micah,david lee, holt,and aaron.I just really like it, when you guys playing together like in World Cup Japan 2015. You guys nailed it and untill right now I still support you guys and I very obsessed with you guys.Literally I watch your match everday and if I don't see you guys like an hour, I could cry because I miss you guys so much and hopefully someday I can meet you guys. GOOD LUCK GUYS I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU

[@josephmcdonagh9242]

This is awesome, please make more of these team USA vids!

[@akmaralabdullina7005]

4:49 Everyone is working hard in the gym, Eric and Ben, who are pedaling "f**t it, we're already the best»

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

we were warming up! hahah I did some work after that haha

[@deaaninditha2566]

Thank you erik a.k.a the sassiest libero on this whole planet! Good luck on the VNL! Andddd i see you there matt, we miss you 😭😭

[@ddal3998]

I think it would be extremely interesting and helpful to have a video with John Speraw. If maybe you could interview him on athlete selection, some training aspects, etc. You are doing a great job Eric. Many thanks to you

[@ericchan218]

Great insight about what it’s like in the gym and what it takes to be a national athlete

[@AGONIZERBX]

Your honesty my favorite volleyball player

[@oliviachan5824]

as a fellow libero it’s so cool to see what it looks like in the professional game! much love 💗

[@rodrigochayamiti9198]

seeing you and Kawika with flip flops reminded me of the time I went to volleyball practice with flip flops, but I forgot my shoes at home XD

[@lilawang2808]

My friend forgot shorts one time....totally ripped his jeans 😂😂

[@reign.vitaly]

Yoooo this is God-tier level content.

[@RockAddicted7]

You should vlog more! It's so interesting to see the insights. What's the difference between club training (in Europe) and national team training?

[@joshua049]

Ahh yes. We've been waiting for this!!!

[@StormLaro]

When I saw Dusty I lit up☺️☺️ My fav two players on the team are you and Dusty I’m so happy to see you guys there.

[@jengujengu205]

This was a great video, it is really interesting to get to see what it's like for a professional in their daily life. I almost forgot that this video was uploaded 3 hours ago because of all the covid protocol, feels like that was ages ago here in Australia.

[@facundomolina2772]

can we talk about how much this channel has grown and the high quality content Erik has been giving us lately? 🥺 Thanks this video was really great Erik! take good care and keep it up with the hard work 🤟🏻

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Really enjoying these “Day in the Life” uploads, went down the rabbit hole again and rewatched your other blog style videos in a successful attempt to not study for finals 😅 Now I know you said you probably wouldn’t react to your own highlight reel again but, hear me out, what if you got your USA teammates’ reactions on your highlight reel? Specifically the one on the Titans Volleyball channel where they call you the Flash Libero, I thought it was pretty epic 😁😬 it’s only fair right?

[@samadsyed5396]
