This video is very useful to me as a libero..i always end up hitting my knee lol..thanks for this Coach!
I'm a middle blocker but I decide to watch this anyways haha
1,2,3,4steps
I’m a spiker. Just here because.
Ohh btw I'm a spiker
THE ACE FAMILY nice
Very important to be diving forward, not down. If you dive downward, your face can hit the ground and chip a tooth.
Henry Chen did you experienced this situation?
oh lord all mighty i hit my forehead once and it was not nice. The headache that came after less than pleasant too
i recently hit my jaw quite hard and got a large cut because of my stupidity. i should have watched this video before trying out diving sigh
Yea so
Ha to y'all and low pain tollerince I bashed my head into a wall as hard as I could and afterwards I just acted like nothing happened cause it's just normal
Actually
I've just built up pain tollerince from being a dumb ADHD kid:/
Henry Chen ay daichiiii
EXCUSE ME
Why does he look like a graceful swan
While I look like a headless chicken?!!!

@dagumanprudence Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "volleyball skills" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Renndrew Volleyball Victimless - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
De Guman Prudence you walk infrount of the ball when their spiking it and it hits your face😂😂😂😐 it happens😣
"this is how you safely and effectively die for a volleyball"
Thanks Coach

I am in the exact same position lol xD
heyy 8 years later
Just remember that there is no such thing as a successful dive unless you get a floor burn to accompany that dive.
Super Cheesy I don’t think that statement is very accurate. Or at least I hope it isn’t

Elevate Yourself that’s the Spirit!
200th like 😌
@@ElevateYourselfOfficial sounds about right!
Because he's an actual penguin trying to act like a human.
This especially hurts when your hip bones protrude out and you get bruises
Ashly I’m a skinny ass bitch so I can relate 😭
this was a problem for me, here's my method to get around that: get as low as possible before diving so you don't hit your chest, like you're doing a deep lunge. then, yeet your hind leg up and smoothly slide onto the floor. make sure your upper body is lower than your lower body, so you don't end up w those painful bruises on your hip
im skinny asf so- yes you are correct-
That happened to me so many times
**cries in libero**
Im overweight and same lul
I dive like I'm in a pool.
So yea i am going to the clinic rn
Archerfish Johns oof

oh boy

Lol and oof
I had to do this for volleyball and we looked like seals plopping on the ground while our coach slid like a penguin ._. now my whole body hurts and I want to die
I always hurt my hip, like legit bruises i got.....
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Who else wants to be libero?
kim lam I *want* but I don’t know if I can
SamPhoto same. My best friend wants to be libero too and everyone considers her to be better...
kim lam well even if that may be true, never compare yourself to anyone else other than urself, when you focus on getting better and keep your eyes on you own progress, you’ll end up impressing those around you anyway. Just keep it up and remember the most important thing is that you enjoy what you’re doing!
I wish I could but I have horrible reflexes 😅
I'd love to, but I space out a lot and it's not the greatest during sports in general, especially for this position in this sport where you have to be on it like that.
i cant do this in cement right?
joselo yasay I've been wondering if I should do it too XDD
As long as the surface is smooth you can do it. Our gym floor is cementy I guess, but it's smooth so you can dive 'on' it.
I guess that if you mean somewhere outside, then probably not.
joselo yasay Noooo- it will ruin your knee pads and hurt your stomach
JayDoesNotCare what if you don't have knee pads? XDDD Just kidding AAHAHAHHAHAAHA
elemenopi Lol- get knee pads?
My friend bumped into me while we were playing volleyball in the P.E class bcs our P. E teacher is also volleyball teacher,and when she bumped into me i said,,ARARA GOMEN" and my teacher did the yamaguchi laugh and said,,ROLLING THUNDERRRR" that was like the best day of my life,like he become my fav teacher after that.
I don't even play volleyball, i just love haikyuu and i'm just curious how they did the diving thing 😅
felt😂
I mean don't get me wrong, I love Haikyuu- but I have played so I knew a few things- but I do have a lot of things to learn
uh oh
Same bro
I dont play either, im just bored and have nothing to do 😂
I need to learn this for my Libero training
Same it’s my goal to become one
I've always been an observer, so being able to see it several times helps a lot to me. Thank you!

Where are your knee pads
Also thanks for putting it in slow motion so we can see what is going on in detail
I’m not sure why, the men’s league doesn’t wear knee pads
your supposed to land on your stomach not your knees thats why most experienced divers dont wear kneepads
Coby Souder they think theyre sissies cause of it lol
KNEE PADS ARE FOR THE WEAK
@@anjalipandya9285 i wear knee pads when i play volleyball.......
can’t tell which hurts more, diving incorrectly or practicing on carpet

I don't know if you made a video on how to pancake, but if you didn't, please do! Also nice video I learned a lot from it. :D
+ElevateYourselfNow yes, that would be awesome if you could please make a video of that! :D

When you dive in volleyball
*PENKUIN*
Light you already beat L in tennis, now you go for volleyball? good for you bro 🤗
haikyuu has taken over the volleyball community
Whenever I try to do it, I always seem to have my knee in the way so I can’t slide I just faceplant on the floor. I’m also center placer so it doesn’t really matter if I can do it or not
step one: become Nishinoya
step two: be Nishinoya
Dude I wishhhhhh
Thanks coach! I often hurt myself diving so this was definitely helpful! can't wait to try it on court.
As for a video suggestion, I see in a lot of your volleyball highlights that you often dive for the ball sideways and you roll over sometimes. Can you include some clips of you diving in game? and why/how you receive while running sideways?
Thanks :)
I have watch this 4 years ago and got an MVP and best libero in our league after 1 year, Thank you so much!
Awesome job on these videos! I've definitely seen improvement in my volleyball by using what you teach. thank you!!
we want a rolling thunder tutorial
😂
yes plz.
I've never watched anything volleyball on TH-cam and yet my recommendation was flooded with volleyball...they saw my haikyuu shrine didnt they
Is it just me or did anyone else finish haikyuu, started watching videos about it on youtube and now you have a bunch of volleyball videos on your recommendation page?
Just me?
WHATS UP GUYS THIS IS COACH DAICHI SAWAMURA-
*I turned on the captions.*
The captions at start said “ *Im going to teach you how to die in volleyball* ”
I thought about D(e)adchi, *btw nice kill Tanaka* 🌚
This guy must be confused why his student yelling "Rolling Thunder" while doing a dive.
He looks like he drew the manga
@@krillix5307 Lol
haikyuu has pushed me to play volleyball and become a libero like noya so thank you for teaching me how to dive!!
I’m a 6’ middle blocker and no one thought to teach me how to dive. Thank you for making this video!
Damn ur short as hell. For a middle blocker? what age group cuz then again it could be young and that would be tall
I’m a senior in high school, I’m the tallest on my team. I’m from a small town so I’m tall compared to the other girls on my team. I bet in more populated places the middles are way taller though 😆
@@abigaylebowley3447 hah! Lol. Yeah average pro middles are 6’9. they’re crazy.
@@Gellooo yeah I’m definitely not a pro 😆I am looking to go to a D3 college to play, the middles are more my height there
@@abigaylebowley3447 dream big! Go for the best. Dont limit yourself to D3.
Hinata must have watched all your videos to be so good
this is recommended 5 years later to haikyuu stans
Thank you for posting this video, I was struggling with diving my volleyball before, and I always get a lot of bruises after matches. But after watching this,I finally know to properly dive :)
I used to rollover on my side to avoid hitting my knee into the ground and that didn't work because it would force me to use one hand and hurt my hip. No I know how to fix it. Thanks a lot man!
Doing it without knee pads… he’s a real beast
I landed on my hips and now they hurt ;-; AAAAAAAAAAAAh ;-;
I tried to do a recieve by just the knowledge of haikyuu and I carpet burned my knee:)
@@danicacheng5024 i feel your pain :(
Danica Cheng I’ve never attempted it for that specific reason. Gonna wait until I have knee pads at least. Preferably Also a coach, but who knows how long I’d have to wait before that.
Just spent the past hour going step by step on how to dive using your video, and now I feel like I could do it in a game! Thanks coach Donny!
i’m just trying to practise and all these haikyuu comments are making me crack up 😭😭
Thanks for the tips coach
Yesterday my mates called me out for not able to save setter dumps and spiker feints
They didn't knew that i don't have technique for diving
Gonna practice this from now on ...
i always end up receiving the ball with my face and i know how hinata feels cus now my team just keeps playing and say "ayy well done " and yes i started volley ball 2-3 years ago cus of haikyuu and its actually so much fun
Thank you so much this really helped. Andddddddd “ROLLING THUNDERRR” I had to say it😂😌
This video made so much more sense than how my coach was trying to explain it-
Hi, sorry for my english! Normally i dont comment on videos that i dont like because i dont want to be disrespektful to people putting work into something. But here i just have to, because in my opinion this is going a wrong way... So first of all what is missing is the most important thing in diving to not get hurt and to be in a realistic game situation: You have to change the vertical energy into horizontal energy by getting as low as you can with your hole body. If you arent already in fast motion before diving its super important to push with your forward leg as hard as you can towards the direction of the ball/motion and change the vertical energy into horizontal energy!
Also your tip to put the leg next to the ball instead of direction of the ball is not usefull in fast motion as you can see in your own video when you dive the ball 5:30 for example. If you do that you will hit the floor hart as you can see and hear at the beginning of your video when you show how to dive. Its that hard sound you can also hear by setting a ball wrong.
5:50 your landing like a plane, you upper body is over your hips and lower body, that can hurt very much landing like this. Instead you guys wanting to learn how to dive should always land on your brest first! Sometimes after touching the ball theres still one foot on the floor and i can recommend to push with that foot so your lower body will never land before or simultaneously with your upper body/ brest.
And finally you just showed the ,,jumping dive" i dont know the english word. there is also a "sliding dive" for shorter ranges, for example a slow ball thats played behind the block.
In this case you dont have to do the support motion with your arms and hands after touching the ball. Instead you go straight down with you body to the floor and push towards the ball while doing that, then you slide to the ball while your arm is stretched in front of your body to get between the ball and the floor (last second).
So thanks for your videos some are very good but i cant agree with this one sorry🙈
As a guy how do you dive without landing on your nuts? Should I alter my form or wear compression shorts to keep it in place?
how about a girl ?
Bello Delgado girls don't... have... balls
easily offended haha, maybe she means breasts because you're landing on ur chest area.
Bello Delgado girls usually don't dive but if you do I've seen them arch their backs so their "chest" isn't slapping the ground and it's solely their stomach
jkjgivens that's really handy to know, thanks
I tried out for volleyball this year and didn't make it. But your videos are really helping me improve and perfect my techniques. This video alone was helpful, and I try to practice everything from the videos that I watch here. So thank you for helping! :)
+Elevate Yourself thank you. I think they'll help me make it. ;)
Ik I’m 6 years late but did you make it?
@@Sashayya it was in the comment lol. I didn’t
@@Carlita7054 yeah ik but like did you try out again?
@@Sashayya oh no it was cliquey they didn’t want me and I haven’t played since LOL
Make one for sideways diving pls! Thx
Thank you for the video and tips. Lately I've fallen in love on playing libero and on saving the most impossible balls.
WHERE ARE MY HAIKYUU FANS?
Rigt here.
HINATA BOKE
HEYYYYYY
HEERE
Thank you so much In the future I really want to be a libero but did not know how to dive, I learned in two minuites.
Thank you for making this video. This has really improved my digging!
so glad i came across this, my coach just simply won’t teach my team how to dive and then he proceeds to make us run for not diving for the ball.
how about making a video that explains the rules of volleyball? and about the types of plays there is?
U can watch haikyuu😂😂
It doesn’t say much abaut rules but its fun
That's such a good idea!
So...here is my issue I really love liberos, but at the same time I love spiking towards the other side of the net, so yeah...I don’t know whether I prefer to jump like Hinata or dive like Noya
I don’t really know, both are such cool positions!!!
Also: ROLLINGU THANDAAA!
Thanks for the great video :)
I do not know the actual name in english, but if you could do a video on the japanese side-roll (technique for defending the ball on the side and then roll over back into a standing position, as pioneered by Japan in the 1964 olympics). That would be fantastic.

No wonder I was in pain while my teacher taught us volleyball. Because she didn’t do it correctly. But I tried this and less pain for me😃
No one: Nishinoya: ROLLING THUNDERRRRRRR
bruuh, to the people saying they only play volleyball bc of haikyuu or a specific character, if u aint got any real passion for the sport wtf u doing here. ye i enjoyed the show and it’s nice that it’s brought attention to the sport but volleyball isn’t about haikyuu, there’s people here that actually wanna learn n then u come here w that oya oya, boke hinata boke n rolling thunder shit, fr that ain’t it girlys
Me: **is trying to learn this**
My cement volleyball court: lol no
I thought I was doing my dives wrong this whole time but its somewhat correct. Phewww
Hi Donny, thanks for all the very good vids on your channel. I'm coaching 13-14 year old guys who have played volleyball for many years. As usually at this age, they are good on attacking but most of them are lazy on defending, digging. Any good training suggestions where they just have to defend, dive & dig? Thanks again.
Thank god for this channel Im trying to play it this year and I dont know what Im doing so thank you
It will be hard to us we don't have smooth floor
As someone who just spent a whole week banging my knee into the ground and almost crushing my hip, this is very useful.
Hey coach! I know its been years since you made this video but I want to become the libero for my 9th-grade volleyball team in September. I have been practicing my diving a bit but I always end up winding myself and landing on my chest, do you have any suggestions on how I could do this without winding myself?
I would personally recommend you do more push-ups and train your arms, that way they can support you weight better and your chest doesn't hit the ground too fast!
another season (haikyuu) another loop around all the tutorial videos on youtube about volleyball
0:46 that was me the first time and I dcratched my knee.
I tried doing some diving last week without watching this and now I have a huge bruise on my left leg where I landed especially hard 😅 hopefully after watching this I can actually do a successful one that doesn't hurt!
thx for making this tutorial👍
OHHHHHHhhh 2:36 I’ve seen noya do that before 😎
Great video, but when I do this I end up stretching my hands too much? Idk
im creating a club in the skl for volleyball and we have no teachers we r 14 yrs old but ur videos really help us thank you so much keep making them
do you need knee pads?
nope
Yeah.... If you're actually in a game
yeah
nah, you can watch high level games where even liberos dont wear knee pads. But if you are not confident with your diving, rolling skills, then go buy.
knee pads are not required... although they do help prevent injuries
Thx coach this really helped i am a libero and i always hit my knee
when i first try diving, my chin was badly hurt HAHAHAH
Randall Bailey me too haha i busted my chin open which is why i’m watching this vid lol
Thanks just had a knee injury scare we’re off dived to keep the ball and I banged my knee and I felt it slip out lucky it went back in with out probably dislocating so I thought it’s time to learn the proper way to prevent injury
y do u need to slide yourself after bumping the ball
I think it's because if you bring the ball right above you, you need to move away for the setter. I might be wrong though
momentum and force. You will make less of an impact falling straight down. For example.. if something you are holding falls to the ground and you don't want it to break.. try kicking it right before it lands.. the change in momentum will most likely save it from breaking (obviously not with a knife)
Gabby B.B because its the proper way of landing... and you'll get injured onced you dont...
Carchomp Garchomp Nn
Gabby B.B some balls are low
