Left Side Attack Timing and Movement

Sorry for the audio at the beginning of this one.
This is Gabi from Brazil hitting an outside or leftside attack from passing in position 5. Watch her movements, and try to find some key points in her process that you can take to your own outside attacks. I would suggest waiting until the setter has set the ball before you start any approach forward. This will allow you to generate speed, jump height, and power in your attack.
Let me know what you think!

Great stuff! I'm a beginner player and I think i've got the basic technique of spike down but the timing is something I really struggle with. This has been very helpful.

Awesome! Glad my gibberish could bring some clarity. The challenge is to see how long you can delay before accelerating to the ball. It should feel like you're waiting at the top of a hill ready to run down. Once you see the set, you can fully run down that hill to your target: the ball. Go smash some balls!
