I accidentally smacked my setter on the head, he got really mad lol

[@ghazankhan5449]

I laughed so hard!

[@maurya077]

He should

[@dieselr6611]

How?????

[@railx2005]

As he should be

[@NavIsTheMan]

I elbowed my setter's shoulder so hard haha he got a bruise 😂

[@cringecraft8645]

I play middle and am desperate for more quick attack videos. Thanks this helped a bit.

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Glad that it helped!

[@KingGooseNeck]

Ik this video is old but it’s extremely helpful. I suffered a concussion playing for my club team in the winter and now that I am getting back into my high school season, four months later, I’m not the same as I was before being concussed. So I have been relearning through these middle blocker videos.

[@mapleauu]

u got ligmatized

[@williamabdul-rahman1726]

💀bro what

[@kraintorent45]

8 years later and still helping me improve my middle basics. Thank you coach Donny.

[@jagadeeshchowdary8496]

Excercises to improve better middle blocker video

[@lawvinc1]

thanks for the videos man. you're really helping me improve my game and also keep my body from injuries!

[@lawvinc1]

+ElevateYourselfNow thanks Coach! I'm currently playing middle blocker but have trouble blocking from middle to either power or off side. any tips on footwork to get from side to the other? and also what to look for when blocking the other player in regards to timing and where I position myself to the hitter? thanks! a video with some drills would be great ;) Thanks man keep up the good work

[@evannslaughter1948]

loving all the middle videos! and Love the quality. thanks so much!

[@marouaneerraisse6165]

Hey Coach Doony . Thanks for your efforts . Can you show us some ways to practice our timing when spiking as a middle blocker . since our setter is better at giving high tosses than giving short arced ones .

[@iqbalhakim3953]

hey coach donny . why not you make footwork for libero for a better receiving . I think thats are vital when you have terrified server or spiker .

[@iqbalhakim3953]

ohh . ok . wish you all the best coach donny

[@saras175]

i love watching videos like this, it really gets me in the mood to play and practice! Thank you for the help.

[@arthurnorcome3967]

well done video. I will have to watch this a few dozen times to let it sink in properly. Do you already have a video that shows the proper way to run to your proper start position after blocking. My uncertainty makes me hesitate.

[@arthurnorcome3967]

thanks a bunch

[@owenvoge9372]

+Elevate Yourself Yes please! Can't find any good videos on this.

[@KosarMortazavi-i3q]

Ur information and the way that u explain everything is fantastic

[@nihaokailndd8226]

im a middle blocker for high school at 5'10 ;-; Great vid helped me a lot

[@manomemano7402]

Never thought about two step approach. When I'm too late I just jump. But today in my next match I gonna try to do the 2 step approach when needed.

[@hakushin_ch]

Thank you for this informative video!

[@m.c.kirati]

Hi coach Can you make videos on ho to know in which direction spiker gonna hit

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

We say "A" for back one. (B for short RS set, and C for standard RS set).

[@stephaniedesharnais-dion5343]

Hi, I have a suggestion. It might be nice to have a video for the transition between the block on the outside hitter to the middle spike. Thank you :)

[@bananabeast9384]

I’m a sophomore and new to volleyball, but they put me on the jv team as a middle. I’m really struggling...

[@anigelashvili8878]

Dude you are a life saver

[@kevalparmar5066]

Sir make video about how to spike...plzz...how to set finger etc plz make full video

[@mahammadrumaiz4720]

Thanks sir

[@eaz89]

I just started trying out middle and I'm still a beginner pretty much but man, none of this were things I would have figured out on my own. I kept ending up too in front of the ball (trying for 3 steps) and my angles were wrong along with a bunch of stuff.

[@davscro]

Thanks

[@gloriamutiri1187]

Will you do some videos on where to face and move your feet as a left handed hitter?

[@melpupik]

awesome video

[@BETOHERZ95]

Yoh, Coach Donny, Do you have a video like this but for left-handed middle blockers? just asking for (myself) a friend. Love your videos btw.

[@marinatejerogarcia]

Very enlightening, thanks!

[@juke1681]

Coach can you make a video about volleyball terminology, or maybe strategy ? Thanks

[@christinogino]

3:12

[@davidokoh7754]

Great video. Please can you make a video on how to defend a spike from a middle blocker.

[@anchor6800]

Hey Coach , can to the blocking foot work and also tips about the beginner blockers and when a hard spiked ball was hit it use flew up on my court all the way back

[@mariaelenamartinezpalomino4344]

Great video!

[@oliverdoblon8855]

Still watching!

[@chanlaoshi8634]

Does the distance from where you start your approach depend on your height? The instructor here is not as tall as the professional middles he showed in the clips, and their first step of the three step approach (with the left foot) is always in behind of the 3m line. I am asking because I am a rather tall middle who always finds himself too close to the net when trying this approach.

[@AlphaeusNg]

i think so, a lot of the pro middle blocks start about 1 big step away from the 3m line and they usually end up only like about 2/5 across the attack line before the centre court line.

[@charlottejenson921]

Hi! Can you make a video on improving blocking timing? I'm 5'11 but I have NEVER blocked a spike. I'm either too early or late. Thanks!

[@moldy8411]

how is your blocking nowadays

[@mariomatejka]

Donny, recently it has been pointed out to me that I"m goofy footed, that is, I do my approach using the reverse footwork (right, left-right). I'm trying to adjust, but after playing goofy footed for years, I find it very difficult to adjust. Any advice of how to best correct this?

[@oleolee4874]

or learn how to hit with the other hand

[@shlee446]

Is a front 1, back 1 and shoot, also called an a, b and c ball respectively?

[@trinitydaughrty566]

Can you do the positions of a middle blocker in a 5-1 ,

[@darwinbilat6399]

Can middle blocker hit in the right side??

[@rhino1677]

What if they are setting you 2's? In 2's the ball is set in the same spot as 1's but the ball is set higher. How would you approach the ball?

[@rhino1677]

And it is set a little wider i think.

[@TuanNguyen-yk2rl]

+Nate A I think you should approach the same, just wait a little bit longer before you start your approach so the ball has time to come down

[@sorrowlast5645]

how spiking top left or right corner ?

[@jackiengo5768]

when performing a 1, when do you start the approach? i keep jumping too early or too late and it causes me to either miss the ball when swinging or contacting the ball near my wrist.

[@vyshnavas6537]

I'm only 5 feet and 4 inches tall... Can i perform spikes..?

[@zacharydavis4398]

🙏🏾

[@tialeeamz3632]

Coach I'm a middle hitter but i was an opposite before, so my coach is always yelling at me cuz he says i take to many steps and my timing is off....HELP

[@deasttn]

Work on it. You don't need a ball a net, or a gym. You are probably getting too far off the net. Try: open, cross, then hop with your weight staying forward.

[@kinnai8334]

Lol it happens the same to me hahah. When I play opposite i open just a bit, i don´t take the steps straight nor open too much to the right. So when I play middle I always make my steps straight, perpendicular to the net and the timing is faster as the ball travels a smaller distance (so you have to make the steps earlier). Also speak to your setter, maybe he is setting it way too fast for you, so just ask him/her to set softer, and maybe higher. I'm saying this based on my perspective, this works for me but i'm not a coach so this isn't professional advice.

[@mostlyjulia4127]

I have a real problem! I can't manage to make the last step, the left step, and I don't know how to fix this problem that doesn't give me the opportunity to spike at my best, can someone help me out?

[@mostlyjulia4127]

Elevate Yourself thank you for the help☺️

[@jamesngamestv8646]

I am 17, 6'2/6'3 170lb's. Am I too small for MH? Im playing for my highschool, not club so its not as competitive. would i be better off being an outside hitter? I play MH fairly well but my team seems to struggle with our Outside hitters. we also have a 6'4 MH. Should i consider OH?

[@sarathv3875]

Sir how can i make my hand swing faster

[@kraintorent45]

Get an anime flashback or something

[@rjayarango6308]
