Your tutorials are super helpful. I like that you explain the how and why of drills and techniques.

I appreciate that!

I also like to teach the cross court push to the 4 as close to the net as possible. Catching an opposing OH too far inside the court makes for an easy quick point or, at the very least, forces them to play a step or two towards their respective sideline and opens up the donut a little bit for the inside tip. Just found your videos and they are great!

Thanks! So many ways to get the kill. Thanks for sharing 💪

Good info in the video. It seems there was a bit of a mishap in editing at the end, it cuts out mid sentence.

[@fourathletes4]

We’ll fire the video guy! 😂 probably was on film 10 and missed it haha

Any thoughts on the thought process after getting blocked attacking an in-system ball? Personally, if the ball dies inside on an in-system set, I’ll usually explode to the ball and hit sharp cross. But if that gets blocked and I’m put in a similar situation in the future, should I just try to hit deep cross or seam next time? Seems like a silly question with an obvious answer lol, but want to better understand how to think and adjust after getting blocked.

I always had a memory of the blocker. If someone liked to push straight over, drop their hands or split them, I caught on quick. So if I got blocked on that inside set, I would show the same move and try to bait them into blocking me the same.. then as I was in my swoosh position --> I would hit a flatter/deeper shot to get there fingers for a block out. It's a game of cat and mouse (I love where your heads at!)

Kudos to you for trying to make the volleyball more inteligent, but i don't agree with 0:42. In my opinion most of beginners or younger players aim instinctevely to zone 5 (or just any diagonal hit)

[@fourathletes4]

Yea. I could have said when trying to hit line or hit with power. Any diagonal is first for sure. Then if they get blocked they try to do what we showed
