Improving Spiking Footwork (part 2/2) - How to SPIKE a Volleyball Tutorial

[@yaboistili]

I am soooo thankful, I am 5,3 and my team used me just to train them, I watched ur tutorials and I practiced a lot, and then I showed them how good I can spike, our net is 7 foot and 5 inch and I could spike the ball perfectly (afcourse with a brilliant setter like my friend) now I play as a wing spiker!!! Thank you so much

[@doriangreg1601]

you just gave me hope as someone who's 5'4

[@yaboistili]

@@doriangreg1601 with much hope and even more practicing you can become a spiker, when I saw it in 2018 I started training and now my latest game was a semi final win of school volleyball, but they we didn't play finals because of corona virus. As Shoyo Hinata (a 5 foot spiker in the anime Haikyuu) said "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"

Thank you so much I know this video is from 5 years ago but I just spent 2 hours practicing this and my hits and footwork are so much better. My tryouts are this Saturday !!! I really hope I make the team

I learn a lot watching your videos. Thank you. It will be interesting to see how it goes when we put the lessons to work in the court. Perhaps you can start taking video feedback from players (privately) and provide your suggestions on how to improve for each case.

[@yashodhantalekar1907]

i can play every posn. and know basics of spiking and ur tactics r improving me

[@MrPatrickbuit]

The tip about not rotating your shoulder as a left handed hitter helped me tons. It's something none of my coaches ever told me, but it makes a difference to have your body straight. It also makes it far easier to stay behind the ball because it doesn't leave your field of view.

[@aspenhajek2739]

Dont worry about your height. In the end it doesnt matter that much. Focus on increasing ur vertical

how do i know when to hit the spike? my coach always says when it's in the air but that doesn't help.

[@jeremybadong4151]

jump when the ball is at its peak

[@silencedzndoesdesigns9240]

i start my approach when the setter has finished the pass and i jump when the ball is just after its peak and that works for me ( im a teen so i play on a relatively low net ) and im not very tall so this is what works for me also im 3 years late to this comment :D

[@Felix-kl3xm]

am also late, but you should hit it when youre the highest. So time it taht when youre at your highest point in your jump the ball is at your hand

[@wgharwal]

Thank you for the videos - they are great. If you would be able to create a footwork and approach video for right side and middle and slide, that would be awesome! Thank you!

[@Highflya23]

I learned alot watching this video. The problem with my mistake is I keep going straight and don't make that 90 degree turn. I have the three step approach to but its that 90 degree turn that screws my spikes up alot. Thanks for this video!

At first, I was like "who that, why haven't I heard of them" then I realised it was from haikyuu, which I haven't watched yet.

Would being a left handed spiker be much different or not, since I am left handed. Could I become Ushijima?

Coach Donny, I love your videos and find them very educational. However, the background noise makes them difficult to listen to. Might I recommend you either rerecord the audio, use a mobile wireless microphone that can filter out the background noise on future videos, or see if whatever is causing the background noise can be temporarily shut down while you are recording these.

[@angel_foodcake]

Thanks for helping me make my club team!

[@xjjeffx]

Hi coach, great video. Your channel has been really helpful with the tutorials and the highlights. Question about that last step being 90 degrees - I've heard both that you should and shouldn't from different sources. the people who say you shouldn't think you risk damaging your knee by turning it and stopping all your forwards force because the knee isn't supposed to bend that way. Do you have any opinion on that? I'm looking at my approach now and my last foot is closer to 45 degrees than 90, but I'm a pretty bad hitter haha. once again, thanks for all the great content! Inspired me to start working out again :)

[@АлександърХристов-в2ж]

where is the link coach Donny?

[@sdepountis]

I guess it goes without saying but it is exactly the reverse footwork when hitting from the 2 position. I guess center hitters actually follow the "left handed" approach since the need to open up to both directions of the court.

[@greeppl]

is there any video on how to use your body (trunk) to generate power when hitting?

Is it wrong for a right handed hitter to use a right- left- right foot approach?.I am pretty much habituated to it.

[@MissHaylia]

Hi !! First thanks for this amazing video. It helped me a lot to change my footwork. I used to have the same footwork as right-handed people : left-right-left so my spiking wasn't that powerful. I'm Working on it but it's Not easy to change this bad habit. I'm a left-handed Middle blocker and I would like to learn tips on how to block in an efficient way.

[@YoNiSe]

make a video of timing the ball when you are gonna spike

[@jkn8]

Any suggestions for players with a goofy approach or this approach okay? I can't seem to get the right left down on the final two steps, I am always left right. Think I got it from playing basketball and high jump in track. If you can give me any tips, I would appreciate it.

[@jkn8]

+ElevateYourselfNow Hey, thanks for the reply. I play OH and Opp for indoors and play right side in beach. I agree with what you are saying but it is very difficult to change it up, I'll get the hang of it the first couple of times and then I notice myself going right back. My success rate is very low, haha. Any suggestions?

I'm 170 cm and it's really hard to face guys over 180 as a spiker. My 30 inch vert isnt helping me at all so what I do is hit at the side and purposely hit the blockers. Or just drop the ball somewhere . It's really hard for me.

[@ignatiusthomas4660]

+ElevateYourselfNow how can you improve changing the direction of the ball when you spike

[@taneeshaknight3901]

Does the footwork stay the same if you're on the opposite side of the court? Wouldn't you need to face straight instead of 90° so that you don't hit the ball out? Unless you're left handed..

[@thechikenwizard7737]

Footwork stays the same no matter what side but you wanna come in at more of an angle

[@web.e5477]

m 17 right now but still stuck at 5.5foot. i think its kinda short for a spiker. but im doing pretty well with my jumping height. just lack of techniques. ive been watching and learning from you vid! and now im doing well i guess. but just have to concerntrate on my blocking. you know a spiker aslo need to block right. but i think i can jump way higher, but in my place, we like to play with a net taller than the average. and i also think that it is bad for me and my team. cause it'll ruin our spike timing. i have a question here, does 5.5f able to do a bounce? or i have to wait til i grow taller?

So 2 step approach will do it? i take like 3 step approach.
