everyone loving nishida because of his explosive power, but this man right here has the jack of all trades.

[@nathancerbo7050]

Facts. That’s what makes him a reliable and consistent player.

[@kaseybaka]

and the 'master of none' part isn't even true in this case! 😍

[@adrianclark2734]

I absolutely love Yuji, he's my favorite VB player for sure but I strive to be like Yuki

[@nomukaankhaa9969]

Nishida now so bad😢

[@freedom-qm5wj]

Yuki Ishikawa is my favorite in Japan National team and my fave Volleyball player

[@easyyen]

Ishikawa is something else. I’m pretty sure his work ethic is insane. Studied law at one of the best schools in Japan and learned Italian to communicate with his teammates too.

[@daluur9296]

Every player who goes to play in Italy starts studying Italian tho lol

[@dirtydirtyshisno7284]

@@daluur9296 That doesn’t make it any easier, still hard to pick up a new language and playing at that level and going to law school on top of that shows his work ethic

[@beenadal4302]

​@@dirtydirtyshisno7284he really is Japanese, true and through. That's one of their traits. ❤️

[@lixemoreno27]

he studied law???

[@messina22]

he studied political science

I can’t believe Yuki is already 27 !!! I have been watching him play since he was 18!,, I hope he stays healthy and still remain in the national team even longer 😢😢😢😢

PERSONALLY Yuki is a disciplined person.... no wonder he carries it even in his career.

[@kimzee3812]

yeah what i was gonan say]

[@hombre6604]

His tactical intelligence is what I love so much about him. It’s so nice to see him play his strategy

[@bonextv30]

His so smooth on the court.ishikawa the goat

[@crazytalk4340]

He knows when to bring heat and when not to! Just a brilliant student of the game! Excellent Volleyball IQ!

[@boom4358]

a reason and also a fun fact about why Yuki can play the trick set so good is he used to play setter when he was in high school. And he learnt the trick set from Ngapeth when he was in Italy

[@123RememberReach]

Yuki is my all time favorite player and I’m glad Yuki is getting the love he deserves. Reason why he is the Captain of the National team!

[@thedungeon1578]

Same.

[@KiKiM14]

Ishikawa is all rounder player and also a captain which makes him even more amazing than ever

[@xnnxpxgnn]

3:12 he's not only versatile when it comes to be a scorer, his defence and understanding of the game is great as well!

[@kristinaarceyow]

It's like witnessing the reincarnation of Giba, but with a Japanese twist. Ishikawa's serve receive and his overall net and floor defense are what make him exceptionally remarkable. Watching him play is like seeing poetry in motion on the volleyball court, with each move a masterclass in athleticism and strategy. His agility and precision make you wonder if he’s part ninja (lol) gliding effortlessly across the court, turning defense into an art form. Ishikawa doesn’t just play volleyball; he orchestrates it, making every point a thrilling spectacle.

[@xxxsizm]

He has high IQ in volleyball. That's why he is very versatile. His attacks also very versatile. Interesting player to watch

[@genesistansuzon3558]

Yuki is a GOAT. Very humble as well. 💛

[@artos607]

interesting how Japanese outsides' playstyles seemingly carries over better into international play than other positions. Their arm swing mechanics and patient out of system play is just so good

[@rextlfung]

It's also because of the high school vball culture in Japan where the "ace" of the team is almost always exclusively reserved for outsides which makes it the most competitive position

[@Masa6x]

@@rextlfung I hate to be the guy that brings it up, but is the term "ace" they use in haikyu, actually used in japan for your dominant OH player? Im from the UK and volleyball isn't big here, but when I did learn it in school, we never heard the term ace except for serves.

[@gallaglan7471]

yea funnily enough it is an actual thing, but it is not exclusive to your OH players but generally used for your strongest or your go to hitter. It is mostly a high school thing where most higher teams usually have one exceptional player who will get the most sets if he match is intense. If there are matches that go the distance, you will get sets where your "ace" is getting set 95% of the time, doesn't matter where he is. Examples being, from the last spring tournament Souma Masumoto(OH) from Chinzei Highschool or Hiroki Bito(OP) Higashiyama High School. Both Teams met at the Semi-Finals and the Matches went a whole 5 Sets and as the match progressed, it slowly devolved into an exclusive battle between the two aces, getting pretty much all of the sets. It was one of the most exciting matches i've seen in a while, you can check it out by searching for 鎮西vs東山. I am personally not a big fan of this system, but I guess it produces some pretty good hitter which then translates into the National Team(eg. Takahashi, Ishikawa, Nishida)

[@soulstice87]

@@Masa6x Yes, the term "ace" player is the reliable player who can score the most points on your team and is a widely used term here in Japan (and not just because of haikyu)

[@Masa6x]

@@soulstice87 Thats cool. How come its only outsides/opposites who can be called ace? I havent play serious team vball only rec. Do middles not get set enough to be the consistent point scorer because of where they are playing? And if so, your best player could be a middle, but the title of ace would still be given to the best OH?

[@clwt4075]

one of many reason why he could be such an all rounded player is because he played since he was in elementary school I think around age 5 or 6? So he learned the basic foundations of receiving when he was little.. was a setter at one point and then an outside hitter later on. Of course it's also his play ethics and amazing dedication and attitude that elevates his level of play so just amazing to watch him

[@loriliecabrillas4073]

So smart and quick. My fave VB player in the world.

[@jenbards8425]

Big Fan of Yuki, a very smart all around player, he’s always fascinating to watch

[@MrNobbless]

Ishikawa has the best back swing I've ever seen. Ever since I noticed that his fingers touch on their way back I can't stop seeing it.

[@songchong1729]

I totally agree 🎉

[@irenemaybiona2612]

This made me admire Ishikawa more!

[@dinocatgaming2127]

Ishikawa Yuki is like every coach's dream player. Like not only is he amazing as a player but he's also a great person..

[@justinhamilton8647]

Yuki Ishikawa will perform excellently in any team, and any team better thank Jesus for a week straight for having him. The all star player of his generation, a joy to watch for years

[@eduardomomo1774]

A very intelligent player Yuki Ishikawa

[@RolexGutierrez-j9h]

amazing player he keeps me on my feet while watching him play unbelievable skills very very talented kid

[@merlindavilla797]

I love watching Japanese players ..they are cool..relax..disciplined and happy people Ishikawa...plays very good with his skills and technique..and with his team to assure a Big WIN MABUHAY ..from the Philippines

[@naygoats955]

6:37 I love watching the whole team moving in sync like this

[@jerrydalimot4653]

Indeed he is phenomenal.

[@heartfeltmusic6979]

Definitely yuki is a great player...he can do everything..a all around player indeed

[@dinocatgaming2127]

5:12 his blocking is literally the entire reason why I hot into volleyball. I was watching this yt compilation and like the second clip showed an Ishikawa Yuki Block. He executeed it *perfectly* like I never would've thought one could actually do it that perfectly. I fell in love with Ishikawa Yuki's volleyball that day and have been obsessed with the sport ever since. (Due to medical conditions I can't play myself, but I'm told I'd make a good coachso I'm working up to that. Luckily I live in a country where you don't have to play to get the license to coach. Besides I don't plan on coaching professional teams anyways)

[@mscynthialife]

yes i agree, yuki ishikawa is very good in everything

[@mscynthialife]

all around, all in one.. sugoiiiii

[@LitoFlores-bc9yq]

indeed, yuki ishikawa is one of the best!

[@NeddKavinsky]

Also when club season started, I think there's more power to Yuki's swings. It's just different compare to how he hits the ball in VNL and WCH's. He also has good reception and his saves are always so amazing to watch, to be able to keep the ball alive when it seems impossible to do so.

[@haikyuufanstrytoplayvolley3056]

A video all on Arm swing mechanics of certain players would be cool to watch :D

there is a channel who already does that called the volley nerd or somethin, you can search up like arm swing mechanics too

[@arianne888]

There are plenty of good players who are specialists in what they do and that’s perfectly fine. Then you have Yuki Ishikawa who is just a complete player. The term all-rounder doesn’t even do him any justice.

[@jessaelleinferrer7528]

Yuki is the best Japanese player for me

[@damnbangtan2024]

[@mariasocorrosuenaga]

brain and power he has both ..❤

[@slaine.slaine.538]

He played Libero at some games in Italy. That's why he received so well and can go fly like Nishinoya to get the ball 😅

Incredible video! I learn so much from your content and feel so inspired to get on court. I'd love to see an analysis of a middle blocker, as this is my position.

[@remildamedrano8894]

so true yuki can do it in every position such a all rounder player

[@nyi2ag]

You need to analyze his eyes. I'm interested how fast he scanned opponents movements as well as the ball movements at the same time. How many scans can he make per complete rally? It'll be difficult to analyze a volleyball player's scan actions from live broadcast videos. Hope you can record the matches in high speed cameras from every angle.

[@junjang4788]

Agree!!! I think he has great vision in game and his precision is in another level.

[@adamharith7250]

Thank you coach , he is my Idol and complete player ahah most people like nishida but mine is ishikawa he is more complete

[@edkardia2922]

I've been studying Ishikawa for a couple years, but because I'm relatively new to volleyball (Only 5 years), I hadn't been able to spot many things Coach Donny pointed out in this video. Once again, thank you for the lesson! Great series!
