Volleyball Coach Reacts to HAIKYUU S3 E2 - Nishinoya tries to dig Ushijima

[@prostitch626]

Something you might have missed is Nishinoya said that he would get used to Ushijima’s hits, and showed three fingers indicating how long it would take. And the third ball he receives is the spike that goes up, he called his shot and nailed it.

13:24 coach, what Tsukishima's brother is trying to say is Tsukki is not instinctual but somewhat intellectual where he doesn't believe in everything except what his eyes sees because for him, defense is systematic.

Yeah I was like "coach that is the exact opposite of what he said". What the older Tsukishima was saying is this: Kei believes the evidence of his eyes. He reacts to where the set goes. He doesn't do guesswork.

up he needs to see this

[@AZ32415]

it also fits perfectly with his past. He trusted his brother that he was the ace of karsuno, but he never actually saw him play. So when Tsukishima finally sees a game of his brother and he isn´t even on the court his trust is broken. So now he only belives in what his eyes see.

Nishinoya is being a bit more direct than your interpretation. He's simply saying that it will take him 3 more tries to get used to the spin from a left handed hitter.

[@PrimarchRoboleonFrenchyman]

I have to add that lefty are very often getting "fixed" in japan (it's the word they use), they are usually forced by everyone else including family and school to become right hander as soon as possible. That's why lefty are so rare in japan and why Nishinoya have so few experience against them. Of course, this is becoming rarer every year now, but the more traditionnal the family is, the more common it is.

[@kaisap112]

@@marissaurias5116 IIRC, being born left-handed occurs in 25% or less of people globally, so one reason is that it's simply rare and for centuries rare could easily mean scary and something that needs to be get rid of. Culturally, there's been implications that left-handedness means some sort of demonic influence and many cultures to this day essentially treat the left hand as dirty (you only use it to wipe your butt, you don't wipe with the right hand and so on). Japan specifically teaches everyone to write and hold chopsticks right-handedly at school and home, so I can imagine left-handedness in teenage years and adulthood being rare after a childhood of getting your hand slapped for holding your chopsticks wrong. Makes for an easy signifier of talent and being special in anime and manga, though, to have a character be left-handed. It's almost a superpower in anime/manga about sports and games that require hands, like volleyball and karuta.

Hey coach, high school wrestler here. I just wanted to tell you this: your videos are awesome! Despite not even being a volleyball player, the lessons you teach, the stories you tell, and the analysis you give are all super helpful to me as an athlete. Volleyball and wrestling are very different sports, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have similarities! There are some lessons and concepts that all athletes would do well to learn, and you do such a good job of bringing those lessons to athletes like me.

So keep on doing what you’re doing coach, and thank you for the high quality, consistent content!

Also, check if your bad memories are based on sports themselves or the people you were playing with. Sometimes it's a matter of finding the right group of people :)

[@MH-ql4nh]

I think the episodes about Asahi early in S1 are pretty spot on. One way to think about it is that you might have some mistakes/losses but you have good days too, right? Remember the times you get it right/win and know that you can do it again.

[@animemusic269]

I know you asked for Coach Donny's opinion, but here is my 2 cents on this matter. For me, it's consistently putting myself in that same state of mind I was in. In a sense, reliving the moment. In doing that I become numb to the things that made it a terrifying situation, and scrutinise it to see if there was something I could learn from it. At times it's because I made the wrong judgement on something. Others because I misunderstood something. However it takes time. We (more like I) prefer to close ourselves off to bad memories, so it may take time to remember. It may take a few days, weeks, months or maybe longer. But this is just my own way in dealing with bad memories (i think they call it shock therapy). Everyone is different. Some maybe strong mentally or emotionally. They may have pride in themselves that they didn't know they had. In a sense, it's kind of like a journey of finding out more of yourself.

I could physically never be a volleyball player(Can explain), but i enjoy watching your videos so much! I saw a 'libero needed' poster in my school and instantly thought of you. Your commentary is easy to understand and you make the learning fun!

I’ve been waiting for your reaction for the past 48 hours 😂

I love that end-of-video insight on confidence; plus it's so nice to get to see characters that differ yet are both... valid? or rather, neither is necessarily "wrong" or "incorrect"

This is my favorite season of the show, super hyped your finally here to react coach!

[@kainoaobina-kaneakalau7991]

I got to watch Hawaii women's college volleyball V.S Texas A&M university and now I get to watch coach Donny react to Haikyuu!! What a great volleyball filled day!!!

I love that Suga got riled up to divert the nervous energy. Seeing someone far more nervous than you are might actually help alleviate some of that anxiety. I remember watching college classmates being nervous wrecks during practical exams and in a way it made me feel a sense of camaraderie and made me feel less nervous.

no, nishinoya is asking for them to be more patient with him cuz he'll get used to it by 3 hits

Great reaction coach! Just wanted to show appreciation for you pausing the video to fully talk out your toughts so you don't miss anything! Can't wait for next week!

Totally relate to you being obsessed by the art. sometimes while watching, I lose focus on the story and instead just look at all the little details they spend so much time and effort into animating and after a while I realise I'm lost and need to rewind a little lolol
