I like it that you picked a relatively short player to demonstrate this.

[@TheJustinRhodes]

Really great key takeaway: You have to be low to explode. Priming the hips on the drop step by staying low while covering more ground on that 2nd step allows all three points of expansion to have more range of motion and momentum (ankles, knees, and hips). Great content.

[@francescomastio7815]

Great coach. Very clear and down to earth. Love the video

The coaching here is clear and concise. And patient. That being said... The example at 2:26 is not proper load for a jump. Careful getting your chest over your knees/chest down when jumping, your head and chest should stay up, and not further forward then your knees when possible. Low chest creates sway and lower back pressure. The goal in a jump is to power the shoulders and arms up and reduce your overall weight using your core. Then allow your legs to push the rest. The best way to jump high is the long jump. Long jump and throw your arms and chest out to go far. Your body will start throwing your weight towards where you want to go. It will translate to up.

[@chadmercado1248]

Correct you're not going to be trying to get chest to your knees when playing. However when training it can be a useful tactic to exaggerate so the athletes understands the feeling of the other extreme! Then they can find the balance when loading for a jump! In this situation the athlete was applying very little bend to start so we were trying to get him to exaggerate a little bit! Totally agree that you wouldn't want your chest to hit the knees every time when jumping though!

[@japprivera3129]

It's all about muscle memory. The hardest part is when you are going to hit the ball, that's why it is super important to practice constantly to develop the skill. Focusing on the approach and the ball is not for starters, even for some with experience it is easy to lose focus and skip part of the mechanics. Practice practice practice, or fake it till you make it.

[@chadmercado1248]

Amen!!!

[@caimanaraujo479]

From what I learned, lowering your back is not helpful on the jump, as it kills a lot of momentum. That could be wrong, obviously, Im no pro. But what I studied for jumping mechanics is that to get the hip expansion, you do a deeper squat, but never lowering your back, keeping it straight.

[@zanechi]

You are right. The demonstration was something off. The coach tilted his back forward too much.

[@janineboekhoudt7643]

need that training guys

[@user-qq4gi2fb9i]

For lower size player just use Taylor Crabb`s approach. Everything is already settled down

[@SAWheelz14]

Very nice! I would say to exaggerate the motions. Especially when you're just learning them. Overact them out. Helps with getting the body to understand the mechanics faster.

[@chadmercado1248]

Yes Yes YES! Love this because you get uncomfortable faster and realize what your body is truly doing!

[@tallytrev1496]

When did they change PCI it was a party spot when I used to play down at Toasted Monkey just down the sand and Undertow a little farther. Is that what PCI is like now?

[@chadmercado1248]

That is the updated PCI yes!

[@andrewdicristofaro3714]

Everything was great except putting your chest down. It's inefficient and slows down the approach and creates longer ground contact time. You can flex at the hips without sacrificing torso angle and stacking at takeoff

[@vendetta3656]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Ideally, your chest should be even throughout the 4 step approach and almost upright upon takeoff from the ground is what I was taught

[@chadmercado1248]

Correct! The idea was to get more from the hips so we wanted to get the athlete to exaggerate a little bit more than usual so they could feel the bend and then from there can find a more balanced version of their jump!

[@vendetta3656]

@@chadmercado1248 but ideally, when I'm practicing my step close, I should keep my hips leveled in the same loaded position throughout my 4 steps approach?

I was about to make the same comment

[@ridah1930]

If i train jumping in the beach, and go back go indoor would it help with my vert

[@easybuckets9740]

no

[@JayInUrJungle]

An older video from this channel says not to bring your chest this low when you load for the jump. Have you changed your stance on the optimal mechanics or am I missing something?

[@KP-dd2ci]

Would also like to know

[@henriklundqvist6983]

there's many thing that's "wrong" in this video. You can get away with a double arm swing, bring the chest down etc. in the jump but these are things that you do not want to do if you trying to get better at beach volleyball.

[@bmbunch8825]

@@henriklundqvist6983 Idk, I don't see anything wrong with the video. If you're just starting out then yeah, this video probably isn't for you. Once you're comfortable approaching to the ball, jumping vertically, hitting controlled shots, you can start going harder on your approach and actually using your entire body to get out of the sand. Not doing these mechanics leaves inches off your vertical as well as takes away from the power you can generate if you want to hit hard. The hardest thing for me to get going from indoor to outdoor with a 44" vertical was planting harder on my final two steps to go straight up and down because I was so used to broad jumping indoor. I'd used to be able to hit bics as they were 2 balls on the net.

[@robertbucks5537]

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Phil Dalhausser is goofy footed. He's one of the best players ever. It works for him. Karch would approach normally and goofy because it works for him. Maddison McKibbin switched to hitting with his left hand because of an injury. KWJ had to use her left hand because of injury mid-game and mid-tournaments. Learn as much as you can from different sources and figure out what works best for you.

[@KP-dd2ci]

@@bmbunch8825 oh la la...44" vert...here I was happy with my mid to high 30" before my injury

[@cirrus2013]

A question: I'm 5.71 feet (174 cm) and the mens net height is 7.972 feet (243 cm). In order to reach over the net with my hands and spike a ball in a meaningful angle I would have to learn to jump at least 2 feet high wich equals about 60 cm (and that's just the minimum!!). Is that a realistic aim? I have doubts and think I should rather put time into learning other techniques to compensate my height or play with a lower net. ;) Does it make any sense for me to even start to do jump training and gain more height under these circumstances?

[@josephhuff9195]

with proper technique, and various leg excercises (squates, leg lifts, box jumps..etc) it can be done. Im 5'9 and i get my share of blocks and good strikes with quality sets.

[@cirrus2013]

@@josephhuff9195 Thanks for your answer!

[@lpaveld]

I wound never teach bringing chest low. Way more efficient keep staying tall. The guy on video has timing problem, not jumping problem.

[@AndrewBaker558]

Agreed

[@chadmercado1248]

Just using exaggeration to help the athlete to understand he can get more out of his hips! Agree you don't want chest to knees!

[@zanechi]

Of course he has a jumping problem. His footwork was okay. Seems like you have the same problem.

[@johanrininsland]

I think there’s a possibility that this is not the optimal way to use hips and upper body. For me this looks better for long jump than for getting high and straight.

[@IconicProps]

Sort of. The proper approach does not point the chest to the ground, but does create a long, arm and shoulder throw. The mechanics are simple. The shoulder and arm throw uses the torso to decrease the effective body weight. Your legs do less work. Its often taught to do standing long jump, throwing everything out, to get to a point, will translate to up. The chest towards ground creates a non optimal sway, exactly like you are saying. It is far from optimal for a vertical jump.

[@cirrus2013]

Squats, dead lifts, olympic lifts look up to the ball

[@liuzeyuan]

tosses not high enuf for him to improve with low positions

[@Dynamicpea]

Teaching incorrect posture here - you want low hips, knee bend but with upright posture at penultimate steps. Its inefficient to have a low posture there as the horizontal to vertical energy transfer takes longer. You can have a low posture in the first steps to get momentum, but in those last two steps, stay upright.

[@chadmercado1248]

Different ways to go about getting a similar end result! Exaggerating some was the focus here so the athlete would use more range of motion and get more power from his body!

[@billybob01234567]

Dude didn't get low at all 🤦
