Biggest thing I learned as 7 years middle blocker was reading the readiness of the players. During a scramble after a pass usually 1 or 2 players will be primed for an attack, then check which player setter is closer to, I'd say 70% they'll set the closer player because it's easier. Then reading the squaredness of their shoulders and the angle of their arm. If they're square on to the net it's likely a line hit. If they're coming to the net at an angle it's likely an angle hit. Hope this helps!
I would never want to play another position than middle. I love the explosive speed and quick decision making. Tearing the opponents defence apart and shuting their offence down is the best feeling in volleyball :D
Takes a special mindset to be a middle, and a strong body. The more powerful you are, the greater the threat you pose to the other team, the more likely your setter delivers the ball to the outside after you have drawn your opposing blocker (or blockers). You jump every time the ball crosses the net in either direction, and the outside hitter gets all the glory. Of course, in compensation you have way more opportunities to kill-block than the others.

Thank you for the video. Yesterday while We were driving to the volleyball match I watched your videos regarding the block and executed These new ideas in the game. Worked really Well and We won the game 3-0. So Keep up the good work. 💪🙌
I'm a middle blocker as well and the most difficult thing for me is to read where the attacker is going to spike to direct my block. I've read many times "look at the shoulders", but everything happens so fast that I am more focused on seeing who's going to attack.
Well it is not easy to answer in one comment😀 Focus more on blocking and attacking from middle, read more setter, fasten your feet, be calm and aggressive👍
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis should all play middle blocker position in volleyball since they are extremely tall for their age and will end up being extremely tall as adults. 🏀🏐
as a short middle blocker that jumps high i get so tired after constantly running for quicks and then straight after going to block and rinse and repeating

While doing the middle block i kinda can’t move my legs to other sides and skip the block everytime can anyone tell me any exercise or a tip regarding 😭
Learning how to read the opposing team's plays well allows you to start the approach earlier and get the block up more often and higher. It's a really difficult but rewarding skill
Which is true? A. Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal cannot grow a full beard and I will be 6’5” with UK size 13 feet. B. Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal can definitely grow a full beard and I will never be 6’5” with UK size 13 feet. Hint: I will only accept the fact that actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal cannot grow a full beard if I will be 6’5” with UK size 13 feet. I will only accept the fact that I will never be 6’5” with UK size 13 feet if actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal can definitely grow a full beard. King Edward VII, King George V, Tsar Nicholas II, Barry Gibb, Peter Steele, Zakk Wylde, Oliver Riedel, Alexi Laiho, Michiel Huisman, Domhnall Gleeson, Calvin Harris, etc could definitely grow full beards. 🎭🩰🎨

I think covering hitters when your clearly out of play is another important skill for middles
Yes, you are right👍
