Hey everyone! Thanks for subscribing and thanks so much for all of your great comments! You've helped make this one of the top volleyball videos on KZbin!!! I'm sorry I haven't responded to any of your questions and comments but I've been locked out of my account for like 3 years and finally got it back!!! To answer the most common questions: The song is Insomnia by Faithless. Leonel is 6'5" tall I think that's just over 2 meters. He touches over 12'. The star of Men's Cuban National Volleyball team has a 50" Vertical Jump. This guy is truly amazing to watch.

I watched this video everyday decade ago while I was training to the Olympics !!! Leonel you legend!!!

@@peterbakare how can i improve my vert ???

[@narnianninja4964]

@@theoriginalrudeboy2916 Just start jumping every day. Rest a day when you feel you really need to but otherwise just jump more. Make sure everyday you get warmed up to some degree and put max effort into each jump. My jump went up like two inches in the first 5 days when I started jumping everyday. And your body gets really fast at recovering so you don't have to worry about overtraining

[@ProphLEET]

He's 6'5" and the song is Insomnia by Faithless

[@BA2day]

It took 16 years for this comment to get the recognition it deserves. Thanks!

[@trafalgarlaw9449]

Holy crap! he went from standing two feet underneath the top of the net to having both his shoulders above it. thats impressive

[@94ken94]

OMG, i still can't believe he could jump so high It's as if he's flying, awesome!

from 1:09 to 1:11 you see him do a PERFECT prep for a jump. he's moving quick and has his knees bent at a near 90

[@elarchery]

absolut amazing

Im almost at a 45 inch vert now and I thought that was insane.

[@brandonjayjones]

This is unreal - Sooo jealous.

[@kaiyuanzhu]

you are one of the most amazing grass hopper i've ever seen!!! keep it UP UP dude!!!

[@xXBrookesVoiceXx]

in order to ensure that he doesn't get a net violation he has to actually jump from the attack line because his approach has so much height and momentum. His height and form when he spikes makes me want to cry its so beautiful

[@EnricoPark]

fly

[@peterbakare]

I'm part of the GB Men's Development Team. I'm registered as a player for the team but still at the stage where I can just jump high and technical skill isn't on par but I may get a run out. Although I appreciate the support for the GB men's Team

[@anklebreaka03]

please upload them soon i cant wait to see more of this guy

[@VDubUploads]

Wow, and I thought my 39" vertical was awesome...but hey, I'm 5'10, he's 6'5, so looks pretty impressive when a shorty like me jumps lol. And for landing on one foot, I do that too sometimes....really trying to correct that. Sick hops though, his Backrow attack is insane!

[@poondanat]

Bruh. Hinata

[@justinmarc8455]

haha the little giant

[@liamh6686]

+poon krairiksh Kageyama SENPAIII

[@0207xander]

Aside from the fact that he's Cuban, an outside hitter, doesn't hit any of the same sets, is 6'5, and actually knows what he's doing... *yeah it's exactly like Hinata because he plays the same sport*.

[@TheThelazygamerz123]

+0207xander Pretty sure they said it because he jumps high you dumb fuck

[@0207xander]

William Aldred everyone in professional volleyball has a crazy high vertical jump so your argument is invalid

[@NiwdeLagirdam]

i agree, he's a beast, he looks like he's flying

[@teagan684]

Amazing hang time as well. As far a money goes, I don't think volleyballers go without. A lot of people would pay good money to watch this guy play.

thank you for recognizing

[@cinnamilktoast310]

Haikyuu anyone? xD

[@immie]

me :D

[@hjtemvasco4613]

No

[@awspeller]

That's nowhere near 50". His head would need to be 2' 7" above the net to reach that feat.

[@braxtenbarnes7473]

Ur dumb

[@naredoiwanaka2621]

Braxten Barnes explain

[@Jesalllll]

Well obviously he won't jump his highest possible on every spike

[@itzSinno]

+Andrew Speller depends on his standing reach.

[@naredoiwanaka2621]

you're still insisting on that? LMAO you're the biggest moron i met on the web to this day

[@ChrisCSeversonTUBE]

he jumps from the half line and almost runs into the net! awesome!! Cheers, ~Chris

[@hypermiszcz]

impresive talent

[@venomman]

none of those videos are even remotely close to 50inches

[@hodcor]

he is 6 foot 5 thats why it doesnt look like much also the camera was far away

[@pyrocentury]

I agree. Leonel is 6' 5". Regulation net height is 7' 11 5/8". From the footage, he may be getting only 40" vert at best @1:25(only footage where he is jumping relatively straight up). He has impressive hops, but none of the footage showed him jumping close to 50"

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

FreeBandz Safari his official vertical was if I remember correctly 37 inches

[@icyboy771z]

doesn't mean he cant jump 50 inch

[@joel387ktm]

his waist was at the top of the net for fucks sake what do you want him to just hurdle the whole thing lol

[@MmeDesgranges]

Man that dude can leap! Awesome!

[@niekzzz]

1 word: AMAZING.

[@muskiess]

that is incredible. its amazing to see what the human body is capable of

[@cloudOFmalevolence]

I totally agree!

[@CoachB133]

wow that is amazing. id love to see him play basketball. but i think its perfect watching him jump as a volleyball player. that way we get to see him get up almost every play instead of just a few times a game

Best volleyball

[@yoavbd123]

It is very easy to criticize the fact that it is not really a 50 inch jump. Maybe it isn't, but even if it isn't just look at this video ! He is incredible ! look at his moves, he is superb, best volleyball player I've seen. Give him the credit instead of criticizing ... It's not like any of you can do a 50 inch jump so...

[@0necallaway]

he makes me want to cry. because i know i'll never be as good as him ='/ god bless him.

[@kb24crazylaker]

good point. Im just saying he would be a very gifted basketball player

[@superkindelan]

I grew up in Cuba when we had a monstruous team in the 90s, and from what I recall, the guy that always stood out for being the highest jumper in the WORLD at the time was Angel Dennis. That was, at least, what everyone said on the streets. It would be really nice to take a closer look into that.

[@kimock4613]

Era Angel Dennis, saltaba más y tenías más potencia, una bazuca.

[@bryant362]

MAJOR ELEVATION !!

[@ProphLEET]

Due to your requests I will be posting an entire match that Leonel played in. It is the 2001 America's Cup Final which I dug out of my "Archives" (VHS Tapes). I got it captured this morning and I will have to edit out the commercials so look for it in the next couple of days.
