Why Is Yuji Nishida So Good? - Volleyball Coach Analysis

The original Yuji Nishida video got blocked, so we had to re-edit this one and re-upload. Don't worry, next video will be about a middle blocker!

[@tovekauppi1616]

I think one of the fantastic things about Nishida is that he always gives it his all. Almost all his spikes are maximum power unless he gets a really weird set.

[@mohtadabahnasawy7637]

yes he's soooooo passionate, most players would just not go as far if they think they're gonna score anyway but nishida is always pushing because of his ethic and that lets him be more advanced in special out of system situations because he's mentally always prepared to give it his all he's not afraid to push forward.

[@akainu6010]

Kid, all spikers do that TO WIN dude do you have a brain? USE COMMON SENSE

[@M_R.b]

He's like Michael Jordan then xD

[@wolfshield2499]

I dunno much about volleyball, but compare him with Ran ( Also Japan national volleyball player), who's better ?

[@aydash5699]

@@wolfshield2499 they are in different positions so they've got different duties. I think, when it comes to defense, Ran is much better cuz he is more like all rounder. But Nishida has more powerful attacks and serve (but less tricky). As an all-rounder Ran will be better, but my personal fav is Yuji. Like he inspires me so much

[@MrVrtex]

"Only 6'1"!! " bro is giving me trauma 💀💀

[@aymerick9140]

For vball 6'1 is small

[@piero3282]

Standard height for professional players is between 6'3 and 6'5 so yes, he is "short" for this sport jaja

[@imkuza]

What I love when watching him is he just has this perfect form when he's in the air and you can really see the power when he spike.

[@NoahShefa]

11:36 Nishida is practically flying! like it looks like his entire torso is above the net

[@pacegaming5593]

thats only coz of the camera angle.. and ik yk that.. still his neck is above the net🫠

[@ShinLikesRice]

Yuji nishida has been such a sensation since his debut, not with just how well he can hit but also his crazy good netplay for his height, I loved this video, a suggestion for the future is Aleksander Slikwa, he's unique being left handed as an outside but plays so well. Great video, it definitely helped me with my form for spiking on a Back court attack!

[@leoisrael1132]

As a retired volleyball player at 26 the gives me hope to go back and practice what I haven't been doing right. Thanks for sharing this with us

[@amandalavallee9669]

Yuji is a force to be reckoned with. I love watching him play. As a hitter, I admire his approach to playing and his skill and talent. Heck, the whole Japanese team has phenomenal players and their chemistry is great. I could watch the team play all day.

[@pici5533]

He got injured before the match against poland in Semi finals vnl nations. As polish fan I can tell you how relieved I was cause literally him alone not being on the court increased our chances. I love Japan and I was rooting for them all the way and hoped we could meet in the finals not semi. But on a serious note, in the back of my mind I knew that if he played, the whole game could of looked very different. Poland had similar situation the next day in the finals with Kurek being injured (one of our top players despite his age) and Bieniek got injured in the 2nd set (he was on fire). Im glad PL pulled through on became champions. And congrats to Japan for making history and bringing home a medal. I have a feeling Japan will be atleast semi finalists again at the end of the year at world championships. And will only get better through the years. Really exciting time for volleyball right now!

[@inkakuna]

Nishida's stationary jump is just crazy to me as a basketball guy. I'm used to seeing dudes always needing approach, but having a similar result at 6'1 with just pure vert is something else. Imagine this dude on a fast break

[@fallenking1022]

I think all japan players are excellent in many ways inside the court.i honestly admire them.especially yuki ran and yuji..i live to watch them them play ang spiking or hitting the ball for the win all through the VNL league. I live you all from davao city philippines.

[@ronblevins3346]

I love the way he can stripe a slam from in front of the ball. I see him in front of the set a lot here but he can manage power and adjust contact perfectly midair. At 6’1 this is phenomenal.

[@roykimsj]

I wanna be Coach Donny when I grow up fr. Coach Donny, your content is really great and very educational and empowering. I haven't played volleyball seriously since high school in the late 90s. I was a 5'9" lefty, opposite hitter. I was co-captain my senior year and we were seeded no. 1 in the city playoffs and finished in 3rd place, disappointing but a respectable end to our season. All I ever dreamt about back then was to play volleyball for a living, but things happened and I didn't pursue my dream. I've doubted myself along the way, but watching these videos and on Elevate Yourself, I can't help but dream again, hoping I can still play competitively in rec leagues or amateur tourneys at age 41. I'm going to challenge myself and start playing again. Thank you sincerely for all that you do on these channels to inspire all the athletes at any stage in life.

[@albiscaballero5956]

Yuji Nishida is the greatest player of all time, He stands out for his strength, speed, and intelligence. Thanks for this video. Beautiful paintings of Bruce Lee, another extraordinary athlete.

[@svtskys62]

nishida, ishikawa, ran and miyura have been real stand out players on the japanese team for me, theyre absolutely insane

[@arijeanz]

his form is so satisfying godddddddd i could watch him all day... only thing is i, like many others, worry about his risk of injury-- he has a bad habit of landing on one foot, and considering the speed of his approach, the height of his jumps, and the power of his hits, i can't see that ending well for him. if i recall correctly he's already had some ankle injuries

as a setter i would love to hear more about some analysis of yours of great setters, i really liked saeid marouf but i want to learn more about other setters like the setter of france or japan.

[@Tokoine]

He might be a mix of Yuji and Yuki but it would also be really cool to see a video on Ran Takahashi. Setter and Libero videos would also be really cool!! I’ve been watching this channel since the release and have been watching your other channel elevated yourself for over a year and I am a big fan of what you do! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@tshiring7]

[@leonbouadi7382]

@@aidnapog356 I'd love it too ! The problem is that he is ,not as good as the others

[@user-iu1ru1qz7u]

What are you talking about? Ran is in no way similar to either nishida or Ishikawa. An absurd statement.

[@OmiOmislysolofficial]

Well Ran is still quite a rookie given how young he's joined since. But the growth in each of his plays is astounding to look at. Ive seen clips from since he was in high school and recruited in an Italian team, debuting in JPN team... his growth to me is steadily yet rapidly (in a good way) and that's what's amazing to watch as he plays alongside his idols Yuki Ishikawa & Nishida. So I will absolutely agree on a Ran Takahashi video or even a Sekita video for a setter one.

[@chajam]

man I love this sport so much! it is so beautiful…

[@simendanamakando768]

Incredible player! Excellent video! It gives lots of hope to the shorter players!

[@bquillaguyd2940]

This guy is amazing man, so much technique and power.

[@jovlst]

He has a technique of short guy. In nearly all reviewed episodes he is just under the ball. You can hit ball in higher point this way, but usually you lose a lot of control and can't see blockers but it looks like he can.

[@kathreenmaemanforte6963]

Hi, I hope you also make a video about Ran Takahashi and Kento Miyaura and also about setters, I really love setters and I wanted to learn more about their techniques. Thank you and God bless.

[@VivekAnandJ]

This video was amazing! I also feel Nishida has amazing anticipation and timing. In the back row analysis, he starts running on the first pass 😮

[@RafaelTorres-of1pu]

Why he’s soo good like you said mostly he’s streng that’s make him jump so high in the net and soo explosive with speed on the spike. This guy is highly discipline on his training that is on ski level. This guy is a offensive killer and finish off Beast. It’s incredible athlete

[@aslanerken6918]

Well, let me add my cents to all is being said above. Lefties have a natural talent for sports where is quick reaction and timing play a big role. Volleyball, table tennis, fencing. There are a lot of successful lefties in those sports. And again he has a perfect timing and “feels” a ball perfectly. He is really gifted.

[@javiiking6363]

[@arjunjs8163]

Yuji Nishida is a opposite hitter which gives him the advantage to hit in any direction and I have seen his lower body work outs like smith machine calf raises, single leg deadlift, single leg press, Barbell squats with heal raising, and some very useful rehabilitation schemes to avoid injuries which makes his legs physically very strong and gives a perfect body balance. he not only trains for strength but also for body balance. he warms up his body with resistance bands for hours to avoid knee injuries, every time he trains his lower body. I am a huge fan of Nishida

i like your analysis, and nishida is certainly impressive. personally, i would like to seem him hit the ball a little more in front of himself. more weight to the ball and his shoulder will last longer. just my opinion. in any case, he's a pleasure to watch.

I am such a huge fan of hers.. In my personal opinion, she is the best female volleyball player of this generation.

[@juliusomicua3450]

Yall always forget one crucial thing, that mf has so much core strength. Most of the time core strength gets ignored while working jumps, but you can clearly see by way he makes his last step that tenses up his core right before he elevates from the ground up to generate more power, by this he sets up his body for massive swing every time, he is basically preloading his upper body from the core upwards. This is something nobody teaches for some reason, but it gives you so much strength and stability throughout your jump and swing. Thats also, basically, why all his moves look so powerful.

[@Zoruachi]

Just rewatched haikyuu so its only right that volleyball videos are in my recommended again

[@akas224]

He revealed about his disease which caused high fever and enabled him to play for half year. he couldn't even wake up from bed. He said if Koga hadn't cheered him, he couldn't have recovered at all. now he came back with full strength.

[@G4B_]

What do you think about the forward kick He gives with his legs, using them as a pole, with a tighten upper body transfering the energy into the ball. Because he really have his legs folded behing him using the kick back from the jumping motion, seems to really use all available potential energy.

[@josefinasotes796]

[@nosymussel6925]

Wish I could be that good. damn. I got into volleyball super late. (I'm 19, got into it 2 years ago). I never played rec Or for school( my high-school didn't have a boys team) so I've never had people to play with besides a friend who is no longer super into the sport. I was curious on any training tips and work out tips. And being honest I got my interest from Haikyuu!! Which is why I was drawn to the actual Japanese national team and why I'm not very familiar with leagues and players. Nishida is the only one I know by appearance and name. I'm also at a height disadvantage. I'm 5'9 (about 180cm I believe)

[@kanishkayadav1736]

Same man, I got into volleyball 2 years back too, I'll turn 19 in 2 months, I got the height disadvantage as well but my defense is quite strong. Wish my Asian parents cared about sports like they did for studies and allowed me to be more sporty. Also, at my home town we don't have any professional volleyball stadium or coach. Hence, I am still a naive 🙃 don't know if I'll ever achieve such great height as nishida!
