[@Simply_saikyo]

8:12 I actually do relate to this exactly. I went from haikyuu, to watching pro play. Volleyball helped me cope through tough times and I’d argue it’s a big factor of why I’m still alive today. I used to my local park and jump serve alone in the sand court that was there. Sadly I didn’t train under coach Donny, but I was also at the vnl this summer and got picture with him there.

Volleyball also consumed my life as well in school and became everything to me during it.

This is unbelievably relatable! I was struggling in high school and once I stated to play volleyball my mental state became so much better and saved my grades, and now I’m going across the country to play NCAA volleyball in college, all thanks to Haikyuu

[@amaia_rodriguez]

This is so relatable!! I played all kinds of sports growing up, but when I started college, I stopped exercising altogether. I also didn't enjoy what I was studying and became really depressed. After two years of suffering, I decided that I needed a change. I started playing volleyball in a gym near my house, and luckily for me, I loved it! Just a couple of months later, I watched Haikyuu!!, which got me even more hooked on the sport. Volleyball helped me rediscover my love for sports to the point where I dropped out of college, became a sports technician, delved deeply into learning about the body itself, and four years later, became a physical therapist. I can say for sure that having a hobby is so worth it. I'd have never thought that an anime about a bunch of high school boys playing volleyball would have such a great impact on my life. I'm so happy I started playing volleyball! :)

this is so relatable. seeing haikyuu motivated me to get more into volleyball and increase my vertical. volleyball is such a fun sport and it feels so good when you get a really good spike, block, or jump serve!! the feeling of your hand contacting the ball, the sound, the placement... it is absolutely satisfying and it's like the best feeling in the world ❤

[@LordBloodySoul]

Oh, I get you on so many levels. For me, it was a bit the other way around, though. I got introduced to Baseball through my uncle. He took me and my older siblings on a trip to Japan once. We saw a Baseball game there and it was SOO cool. Like, damn, Western Sports fans have nothing on that! And then my bro bought a baseball, bat and glove set and we kept playing. Then we came to school, and were able to obt for one sport that we would play for the whole semester. I always choose baseball, but basketball always won TvT So I craved to enthrall me in baseball via media and stumbled on some very cool animes and mangas about it. :3

Later on I became so ill I couldn't play, but the coaches knew I loved Volleyball so much they put me on the 'cheerleading' squad and I could still travel with them to the state tourneys.

I always say that volleyball is one of those things that the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. I hope your volleyball journey continues and thrives!

[@Obst111]

I can relate to this! I started playing vb when I was sixteen because of Haikyuu, before I didn't have any interest in sports at all! I've been playing in a club and school/uni for four years now, since two years 3-4 times a week pretty consistently. It has benefitted my mental and physical health in a lot of ways, and gave me great experiences that I'll cherish forever. It's also crazy how all of this turned into a routine - I don't even think about whether I go to training or not, and if I can't go, something is missing and I'm sad XD. Volleyball has also peaked my interests in other sports, which is kinda cool. Also, Coach Donny is the best!

[@claudiaw2078]

2:48 A tip: if you're alone and need to practice volly ball, just try to serve to a wall. Try to master it and probably you can predict where the ball goes.

[@zajinramirez2780]

I have the same love for lacrosse. Even though I started last season,every day I get a break im doing wall balls to prep for next season and I even joined my high schools american football and wrestling team to get fitter for next season as well as getting my gym membership yesterday so I'm excited to use it today. I also love skateboarding and even though I'm bad at tricks even though I've been skateboarding since I was 6 (I started trick skating late) I still love it and if I'm honest with myself, I don't know what I'd be without my hobbies and just don't understand people who's only hobby is scrolling through youtube shorts or tiktoks and nothing else

After a while I joined an actual Volleyballteam and by now I play 3-4 times a week (not enough) and it has become something I think about everyday. And I must say: I’m jealous about you meeting Coach Donny! I’d like to go to one of his camps but I don’t even live near the USA…

[@putch7169]

I've always told people that I got inspired by the game from watching someone spike as I thought the game was just professional hot potato. But I know the truth; it was Haikyuu.. I started using some home gym stuff, got obsessed with it, and begun playing after COVID. Now I am on my college team playing as sometimes a Setter, Opposite, or Libero. I can relate about the whole serving part for two years, it was me but against a wall, chipping the skin off of a cheap Volleyball I bought, but I don't regret it at all, I had no sports experience beforehand and it helped me develop my arm swing from basically shot putting the serve to reaching. Fun stuff, fond memories and still a long way to go.

[@cyberneon9599]

Literally same. I’ve started to play volleyball about 11 months ago. I got into it from Haikyu, but I also played it a little before with relatives. There wasn’t a team around the small town where I lived but 1 and 1/2 years ago some guys from my school managed to get trainers together and form a volleyball team. I am so obsessed with volleyball that I would play it every day of the week (If I could) and I always look forward to training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I plan to continue getting better and playing volleyball but I have a long way to go. At least I can now do consistent and also accurate jump serves, my spikes are okay now and my receives are a bit better. I’m still working on learning a jump serve I can put all my power behind but that needs practice. In short, I loved your video I relate a ton to it, and wish you a good time improving at Volleyball! Hope you‘re having a great day.

Using fly high and the song played by the inarizaki school band as a soundtrack. In June I signed up for recreational volleyball classes as soon as I got paid. Since then I feel genuinely complete, and your video made me feel so identified, I've only been here for a short time, but I haven't felt this feeling for a long time.

it's crazy how relatable this is from how i experienced falling in love with volleyball but what hooked me on volleyball wasn't getting that one jump serve that was super sick, it was digging a really hard driven spike and perfectly passing it to my setter. after that i instantly fell in love with the game even more and wanted to play every chance i got. i still want to play every chance i get but balancing life with volleyball is important. great video, definitely subbing.

This is so true 😂 I was on the varsity volleyball team in my senior year and the only thing that got me motivated to play (considering we lost basically every game but one) was the first season of Haikyuu, flash forward and I won with my team in co-ed intramurals in my third year of college-it really kept me going! I also got into watching Japan’s men’s VB team, which helped me with understanding formation better. Hope that one day I could meet or watch them in person!

As a long time volleyball player before the anime came out I'm so happy it did. It brought so much attention for the sport I love to play!

[@Shoeb._.248G]

Cant say how relatable this is but i didnt start due to anime i started to play it by seeing others play it in my childhood.

awwwww yea... I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who got into Haikyuu!! and ended up obsessing over volleyball. Aaaand having it be one of the biggest things that got me through some dark times.

I got the same thing with volleyball too. I cant play at all, and have no friends, so I have to actively pull myself away from watching content about volleyball because I will otherwise just be depressed. I am in the unique position that I can relate to your feeling EXACTLY. i am glad you were able to live out the vball fans dream. Good job man :D

Played soccer all my life and 4 years ago I watched Haikyuu and thats when my volleyball story began. Now I travel around to play tournaments and meet new people. Crazy how anime influences you!

I’m currently in the volleyball phase aswell

How the hell are you so relative man. I binge watched it in a week and man before i never even touched the ball, but after watching it, i just bought a volleyball and started practicing at school. Although this might be my last yr in school, im glad i could make it memorable. Watching volleyball on yt and thinking im on my way to becoming a pro is just so fascinating. Keep up the gud work.

It's always so great to see someone so happy to talk about something dear to them

[@dylanmccarty5521]

I literally did everything you did when I first got into volleyball. It's so frustrating being the only volleyball player around

[@sikeotheclown]

haikyuu got me into volleyball too, i became a 3 year starter and ended up with 2 MVP trophies and 1 most improved trophy and my senior year took my team to districts for the first time in almost 16 years and ended my senior year off with around 200 plus kills. one of the hardest sports i’ve ever played for sure

[@metaljay77]

I relate almost exactly to this. I had similar hobbies to you with few to get me out in the world. 2 years ago I picked up Billiards because I'd enjoyed it in the past and thought it'd be fun to join a league. Last week my team won our division playoffs, thanks in part to me crushing my opponent, and it's now hard for me to NOT talk about it. I'm so hooked. Just wait until you notice yourself making plays you only dreamt about when you started, they'll make you cry tears of joy.

This is literally so relatable I am getting worried, especially the part when you said you got depressed whenever you couldn't go to your Sunday volleyball, because the same thing happens to me when I cant go to my Monday volleyball. What else is funny is I started to go to the gym because of volleyball. Great video!!!
