Not sure if I'll get a response but I don't see the Women's College option on your website! Is it no longer listed?

[@Charley-ju6yg]

I remember watching your first tutorial about 4 years ago, right when i was getting into the sport. Now, I'm just about 2 weeks away from one of the biggest gathering tournaments in my country, with over 50 different teams participating. I'm one of my clubs strongest servers and attackers at the level I'm playing, and a lot of it can be contributed to you. Thank you so much for all the content you've provided during these years, it has been an incredible journey that I'll probably follow until the day you stop posting

Nice Haikyuu! reference at the end ^^

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

I was wondering who would catch that 😂

[@notgavincrenshaw]

Really excited to see you redo these videos. The update in quality alone is worth it.

[@safaekadri5859]

Genuinely thank you for including a left handed part this time. You have no idea how easier this makes it to understand for lefties!

[@elishasiu]

"THANK YOU COACH DONNY!" we all say in unison 🗣‼

[@Est....]

The Haikyuu segment break reference at the end is literally everything

After getting serious ligament injury in football at age 15, I adopted much safer game volleyball, I'm 61years old but still love to play alongside boyz qtr my age, I also train them, I love float serves rather than power jump serves.

[@swankysloth9273]

Just watched that 8 yr old video last week, thanks for always giving fresh content!

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Awesome! Thanks for watching 1.0. I’ve learned a lot since then. Please share it with all your volleyball friends!

[@maybaez]

I like that you speak clearly and not so fast. I started playing volleyball qhen i was 10 , just passing balls with my playmates in front of our house . Then i always koin tschool tournaments in high school and college and even at work during summer tournaments. i am at my happiest whenever I play volleyball. When my children were in high school i joined the parents ans teachers tournament. I was in mt mis 40’s when i last played. Now I am 60 and my daughters asked me to teach and play with them. I can still run and climb stairs faster than them but i am eager to know what the necessary warm up exercises a 60 year old should do to avoid injuries. Thank you 🙌🏽

[@christianarenas7839]

Float serves are my favorite primarily because they remind me of knuckle balls in soccer so i was excited to see you post an updated tutorial!! 🔥

[@xleonui]

YESSS More updated versions of old tutorials!

[@PartTimeEuphoRia]

I got into volleyball with your videos less than a year ago, yet I've followed the exact steps you mentioned back then so many times that this feels nostalgic haha

[@C_girl_crochet]

This was one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever seen! I’ve been struggling terribly with my overhand serve and this helped me fix everything I was doing wrong! 10/10 recommend!!🏐🏐

[@Ollowayn]

That is the quality volleyball content I dig. Thank you so much. Would love a re-do of your jump top spin tutorial too!

[@migilmonster8965]

I'm happy to see that you remade this one! I've watched the older version countless times since I've just started playing volleyball! Thanks for your help, coach!

[@f4f-y6u]

THANK YOU!! I travel often so I missed the first 2 weeks of practice, im kinda good but I suck at serving and this helped me sooooo much!!!!

[@suweh799]

I remember my 10 service ace because of float serves when I was in elementary. Miss those days.

[@HenryTyme]

As an active dad, who daughter has found her passion for a sport which is volleyball, above all, loving the Libero position this video as well as your channel is very beneficial. Thank you. My Only "gripe" is that I really would like to know what brand of shoe that you are wearing and the link to purchase some LOL. I love the fact that they're flat allowing for near grounding but letting your foot be true to form. Amongst other benefits.

[@shagheyegh3755]

I will do all the tips and instruction on my practice tomorrow morning. I love the drill with wall ,apparently it will give a lot of information to analyses our serve . Thank you so much. Im really looking forward to make my float serve finally go over the net, i hope it help me ❤

[@vivekdave16]

Fantastic video, thanks.

[@Interventionroblox]

What really helped me get a consistent float with barely any spin is hitting with the bottom meaty part of my hand. Doing that instead of hitting with the middle palm made it sooo much easier

[@elmarealtor]

Very helpful thank you so much

[@gedeonhayagasino7722]

That word "LAKAS" written on the ball means "Strong" or "Power" in filipino. Watching from Philippines 💪

[@claudiastutz8779]

Looool!! Watch till the end 🤣👍🏼 Great Tutorial!

[@TheKizeYT]

I didn't see the video, but nice that you're teaching beginers!!

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Thanks! 😃

[@fcguy1]

AYYYY I saw the insta posts for this video and was hyped af!!! I say adding timestapms would be good!

[@zakisolihin7390]

Awesome tutorial. Tq sir. Just watch your video 1 hour before my tournament, somehow makes me feel more confident. 😊

[@olhazatwardnicka]

Thank you so much!! Greetings from Poland!!

[@Kaeyathrei-Kayak-]

Make sure to look at the exit sign when doing this ofc✨

[@felicia5620]

Omg, what a great video! It is so detailed. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it with us.

[@GimmieCookie]

I do a two handed toss. It feels more natural as you go through the hitting mechanics (rather than leaving your hitting arm in the Nike "swoosh" position as you toss) This gets you a more consistent toss (especially in the wind/beach.) Additionally (not mentioned) as you step forward with your lead leg you are transferring your weight forward/into the ball with your static hand. This with your torsional rotation is how you get a powerful serve. Using your body weight is super important for those of slighter builds. Bonus: Practice rotating your hand ever so slightly just before the point of contact to hit the lines (you don't want to telegraph.) Setting up, I like to stand in the middle (or off center) to serve.

[@zarks3533]

bro wth i recently searched how to float serve, watched ur video and then all of a sudden u drop a new video lmao what a coincidence

[@MullaiVasan-b9o]

Thank you so much sir😢😊❤❤

[@bearthekampe]

Thanks for the video! I followed the instructions in the original one, which helped me improve power and reduce spin a lot. My main problem right now is consistency. I hit the top of the net a lot, and when I'm trying to go higher, I lose a lot of power or go very long. Will try the wall drill next time I'm in a gym to diagnose.

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Thanks for watching the original video too! I’m glad that it helped. Thanks for sharing your challenges. Let me know if the wardrobe helps you find the ideal height to serve at.

[@munkhsaikhan-c1z]

Thanks dude! Now i can serve without a problem.

[@GermanShephard123]

New to volleyball. Tennis background, and this is very helpful

[@suprehmo]

Always love your videos.. Should add a caviot for younger players.. if your not tall enough, hitting flat at head height won't clear the net. Causes elbow drop. Beginner and young players contacting low /mid ball and higer on swing is important. I only day this because i share your video's with my academy and 12u players that need something to review at home.

[@User-v2x6k]

Thank you, you have taught me so much

[@KillerTacos54]

I've done it so many times by accident but I can't seem to replicate it consistently

[@xcktcz]

this worked I got my serve!!

[@xleonui]

Part 3 of the updated Arm Swing Technique please coach!

[@noreex5887]

[@markw2990]

Really helpful, thanks!

[@JaiPanganiban]

This is my technique when am playing volleyball 2007 to 2011 no one teach me i just discover on my own this technique just practice and practice service you can control it to. 😊 I miss playing volleyball

[@strnd446]

[@kaanaksu6172]

[@CeylinDemirkol-j7i]

Could you do a video about ran Takahashi and how to inspire your game style from ran Takahashi

[@bigradwolf5001]

Thanks I'll try this. None of my serves cross the net.

[@vanderjunior445]

great video!

[@matanbiton181]

Can you make an updated Jump float tutorial?

[@itsforfeit]

u should do jump float serve next

[@harunstreets5599]

Can you make a 2.0 video on jump serving?

[@riekeschulz523]

Does your height make a difference in serving? Because you said to hit straight but what if I'm not that high and always hit into the net?

[@fettahsafi2055]

coach we need the ball contact point when spiking in air video please.

[@martinhd8703]

Which part of the hand should be making most contact with the ball?

[@shhinobii]

Is there a difference if using the heel of the hand when serving?

How to increase hand power Sir

[@olivebuild]

It finally happened.

[@itsjarcia9151]

there are things I struggle with, i keep hitting just shy of over the net, sometimes it goes over and sometimes it doesnt, but a consistent pattern is not having enough power on my serves. I am a beginner of 1 to 2 months, and even though my bumping is coming along nicely my serving is faulty. Also in my serves where i just do a standing serve, if i dont stretch properly i hurt my shoulder. so idk if thats a sign that im trying way too hard to hit the ball as fast as i could. Please help me out

[@mrs.bubkesbubkes7783]

guys i do all of this right but i still can’t get my serve can i send a video to any volleyball expert and you can tel me what im doing wrong

[@user-vh4ze9fi2x]

Coach how can i fold my feet back when spiking ?

[@Harrysun7]

The ending haikyuu part was cool... 😅

[@yuriygorodnikov2934]

What shoes are you wearing? Looks like they have a wide toe box

[@algirdasltu1389]

Hip technique is very similar to the cross in boxing ngl

[@pyth0ndude564]

My main mistake is my arm doesn’t go down straight it goes right (I’m left handed) which spins the ball a weird way.

I'm from the Philippines how can I get there😅

[@matthewtorres9033]

I only know how to do a float serve by underhand, not from upperhand😢

[@exquisiteextras]

Bloody oath mate

[@myabernardo-bainto339]

cant get it to cross the net, too weak 😅

[@L0STGRXCE]

Hit the ball with palm and fingers, try to hit the ball quicker

[@madmartian2]

I'm over here hiring lobbyists to get congress to pass a constitutional amendment banning the float serves, then you got this guy!

[@AR7_EDITZ-7]

Your net is too down😅

[@arkenfalgurd5860]

I was taught, you have to block the swing of the arm at the impact of the ball, and it seems you are not doing it

[@ravendelunas6925]

I'm from the Philippines how can I get there😅
