I still find it hard to know what's exactly going on when I watch professional matches by myself and i often miss a lot of things that maybe can help me when I play, so thank you for posting these videos ^^ also you are such a great player!
thank you so much and thanks for watching! keep watching video and youll start to catch more and learn a ton!
10:11 It's Kento Miyaura, he currently plays in Stal Nysa so you will have a chance to play against him in the near future
Love u Erik :))
I'm sorry i couldnt remember his name! we had a friendly match against Japan earlier this summer and he played so well! And hes here in Poland now! Thanks for watching!
Japanese lefty in this match is Kento Miyaura and actually he is playing in Poland league now as Stal Nysa member! It was a great video thank you from Japan!
yes! i found that out recently! so awesome!
Thank you so much for answering my question Erik!! I really appreciate it and it helped a lot!
yesssss love these! So good being able to understand more of what goes on behind the plays. Thank you Erik!
thank you for watching!
Love it Erik! Your analysis really enhances the watching experience, it's so much cooler to know some of what's going on
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hey Erik! I missed these videos! Thanks for posting cause these always make my day better :)
thank you for watching!
Hey Erik, I love what you said about what smaller blockers can do to slow down the ball because I have seen people said something like this setter or hitter is not tall so it will be a deficiency in blocking. Your words are really warm!! Looking forward to your new season in Zaksa and I subscribed PLUS this year too for watching you guys against each other🤩 Wish you the best❤
thank you for the kind words and for your support!!
I watched the final match of the VNL when you guys played against France, and there was a trivia game that I participated in. I ended up winning a signed ball from that match, which is currently lying on my desk back home! Treasured possession right there 😁
thats so cool!
i never get any tips from any videos but yours are so easy to understand. really inspiring!!
This USA vs Japan was one of the greatest matches I’ve seen. Well fucking played
Now Aaron is playing with Onodera🎉 JT Thunders!
They are both on the team in Hiroshima!? That’s awesome!
@@ErikShojivolleyball yes ! Fans are excited to have him there👏🏻
Man. Love your Chanel. Just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate your content! It motivates me and helps me understand volley better!
Thank you for watching!!
Enjoyed your video as always. Keep it up!
Hi Erik, it’s good to see again! Watched you guys on VNL finals, you guys were amazing!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hey Erik Long time no vlog, So thrilling to watch one of the World's top libero sharing his thoughts, Great year for the U.S.A. team wishing you a healthy and victorious 2023!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Jaeschke being injured once again is just so unlucky, had a pretty good season with Milano
he did! and he is planning to go to China for the season!
GL on the season ES22! Been trying to catch the games, but hard to get the times right in the states.
Edit: Also, Dags is such a riot to watch when the camera cuts to him on the bench. Dude is so funny.
thank you! Kyle is so funny hahahaha
So good to see you back Erik! Looking forward to you to react usa women's match!
Erik you’re amazing i just love you sm ❤
Hi Erik, you definitely deserved a break before coming back in Week 2 of VNL. You’re a very amazing and hard working player. Also it all worked out in the end since Team USA was able to go the perfect 4-0 in Brazil without you.
thank you! yes it was a nice shot break and i was able to come back feeling more fresh and motivated! And the team did great! Thanks for watching!
Great video Erik!
i was wondering where you were! this match was epic!
RIP rewind on the word "STARTEEED". Love it! 😂
awesome! as usual, thank you for the video! 🥺💖
Yo Erik, thanks for your content, I love your type of vids. As new season is there I realized I have absolutely no idea about transfers in volleyball at all. How about to do a video about transfers overall and maybe highlight few big transfers? Earlier I tried to find out transfers on some websites and I found out that there were so many transfers I had totally no idea about just during the summer basically. Thanks, cya
Thank you for watching! Great idea!
Good analysis Erik... Goodluck!
thank you!
Erik!!! I love the content and your commentary is AMAZING for volleyball. Was wondering if you would ever do like reactions / analysis to more Japan matches? Just to explain to the audience (and myself, a noob libero) the reason why their defense is good?
I will definitely watch some more Japan matches and try to talk more about their defense! Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
@@ErikShojivolleyball those words are deserved! Lookin forward to future content and good luck in your games! I’m trying to figure out a way to watch them online but struggling to find a source :/
Glad to see you back Shoji, looking forward to seeing you play in upcoming matches! I do have some questions about receiving and digging if you dont mind answering them. I find myself reacting to the ball but I cant seem to get my platform there even with proper form, any tips?
Thank you! Hmmm keep working. Start with easier balls and then progressively make them harder that way you can work on technique!
Can't wait to see your reaction on your perfect dig to Kurek's spike
Hahahaha I think I’ll watch that game 😂
I love you, Eric, great match
Lol “I don’t know, I don’t serve.” Love the honesty.
haha havent served in a real match since 2008.
Hi Erik, i realy like your videos, keep going on making these videos
I love this videos :)
Thank you for your video. I understand volleyball more now.
thank you for watching!
I was hoping it would be USA vs Japan, love to see it.
11:59 i always see that play from aaron, even in the world champs. he really knows how to recycle a ball well, it always amazes me 🙌🏼
Yes he works a lot on it! Many players around the world are amazing at that shot and it can be so frustrating as a defending team!
I love that you make these videos! I love analyzing volleyball games bc I play and it helps me think things through during a game, help me play smarter. And watching this was really informative bc I would’ve missed so much (especially about the blocks) otherwise, so thank you!!
thank you for watching and glad you like the videos!
Your the reason I want to be libero. Your the reason I play volleyball🥺❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Go for it! 😃🤍
The comment about blocks is so true. I’m no pro, plus I’m 5’6. I sometimes get enough over the net to slow down a ball for the rest of the team to be able to dig those up.
From Philippines i love USA team (women and men) win or lose love them watching they are amazing
Hey David Smith is the best setting middle blocker I've seen
Hey Erik! I very much enjoyed this video, especially because you zoomed in on passing strategies at one point. I started playing libero for the first time this season (former setter), and I'm struggling with the positioning of the passers. I want to be able to instruct my passers and myself to be in a good passing position in every rotation, but I'm still trying to find out where it is we have to stand (basically I'm just bluffing and telling my passers where to stand without having any idea what makes sense).
Could you help me out on this one? I was hoping maybe you could make a few comments on this in your next video, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
Much love from the Netherlands,
Marnix
Hey! Thank you for watching! I will try to touch on this in the next video! Keep in mind there are no “set” positions. It depends on your team and the server and you can make small adjustments depending on that!
Heyyy i'm a big fan!!
hiii thanks!
Hey erik big fan any tips for overhand serves because it's hard for me to get over the net so just was wondering if u have any advice to get it over the net
Japan has two liberos (Ran and Yamamoto). JK.🤣
Actually three since Ishikawa played as a libero once with Latina. 😆
I have a question, why are many of the float serves I've seen in pro leagues recently tossed with topspin? Is it some sort of reverse hybrid, where it allows for a jump serve or a jump float?
Yes I think you are correct. There are a lot of serves these days where players hit a float or a jump spin serve. So a toss like that can help!
Erik, idk if you did it already, but can you please react to Japan vs Italy VNL in Quezon City Philippines venue? I just really find their plays really good and the game was really intense
I’ll look into it!!
You should definitely react to Texas vs Ohio State 2022!!!!!!1. Insane game with a lot of good rallies and plays.
Love th vids
thank you!
I noticed a fair amount of the players on your team have been doing a little hop right as the other team serves at you. Is this similar to the split step that Dustin Watten has been sharing or is it just to get you off your feet and ready to pass?
That is the step step. Most players naturally do it and I think most if not all the guys on the team do it!
Hi Erik, glad that you were able to be given a break to recover and cant wait to watch your club season hilights. Who do you think is the toughest player to receive from on Japan. Ishikawa has great placement and an eye for the blockers but Nishida is just a monster when it comes to power and presence
In defense they are all so difficult. Ishikawa is just so smart and Nishida has so much power. If Nishida gets it by the block it can almost impossible to defend hahaha
@@ErikShojivolleyball also just as a curiosity. I know some people get burnt out when they do sports for a living but do you still have fun when playing especially as a professional?
There are times when I don’t feeling amazing. I’ll be honest. It can be a lot of time away from family, not a ton of breaks, and long hours. But I try to remind myself of my goals and have fun as much as I can. I’ve learned to love the grind and competing at a high level. So is it always perfect? No. But I do have fun and love my job!
ERIKK HOW do u receive a floater ? Pls, as a Libero I want to get better but these balls are the hardest.
I don’t know what the ball does, that’s what makes it so difficult. Especially when I’m trying to receive it upper my body
What arm sleeves do you wear?
Where do you watch these vids from behind? I can't find recent ones ty in advance :)
It’s a website for teams and players. Sorry!
Any tips to schedule a 3 hour training session for a setter, like how long to work on each skill set
That’s a long one! Hmmm setting should be at least half of it if not more. Then serving, blocking, and defense. Setting should be working on all sets, in system, out of system, different areas. Move it around and have fun with it!
Starting a video with a missed serve has become your trademark 😉 good luck tomorrow!
thank you! idk why it always does that! hahahaha
I really learned a lot from your videos, Erik. Thank you so much! 🤍🥰
Thanks for watching!
Hey Erik, for your next video can you try reviewing the recent padova vs modena match? I heard it was a very fun match and it's Takahashi's first mvp as well so Im curious to see what happened
I will take a look! Thanks for watching!
I wish you had come to Braszil. I went to the hotel where the USA team was and took pictures with most of them. I wanted to take one with you.
Hey Erik! Do you know why there wasn’t much attacking from the middle in this set? I know you weren’t with the team for this match but maybe just from your understanding of both teams and how they play you can explain. If not, no worries! Thanks for the videos!
I don't know exactly why neither team set the middles a ton in this set. The passing was fine for both teams so I'm not exactly sure. Could have to do with scouting report or simply that teams felt more comfortable setting to the pins. Japan relies heavily on their position 2 and 4 attack but their middles are sneaky good. Im sorry i wish i had a better answer for you!
@@ErikShojivolleyball No worries! I appreciate the response! Ishikawa is an incredible player so I don't blame them for relying on him later on in the match. Thanks again, and love the videos!
Great vid as always!
World championships finale reaction?💝 🙏🏼
soon! thanks for watching!
I am obsessed with volleyball
Me too!
I love watching you on tv
thank you!
Yay!!! go my fav team Zaksa!!!
Hey Erik! I have a question, were you ever aproched by a brazilian team to play there? would you?
Hmmm I don’t think I’ve been seriously approached by a Brazilian team but I would love potentially play there one day!
hey i was wondering if you ever played against nishida amd if you can make a video on that if you have time
I have a few times. I think I made a video but can’t remember.
Hi Erik. I'm a big fan from Brazil. So, I have a quesstion for you: I currently play at a recreative level team, as an Opposite, but I'm super short (5'4''), and I'm currently in Japan, for the next 6 months, and I want to try out for the University club here, and because of my height, I'm really considering switching to Libero. What would your number 1 tip be, for someone going from opposite to libero to try and play at a higher level?
Hi! My number tip would be to start training your libero skills as much as possible. Watch a lot of video and keep working on those skills!good luck!
@@ErikShojivolleyball thanks a lot Erik. I have about a month to practice before the club goes back to regular activities so I can apply. Going to do a lot of hard work and make sure to watch you and other great liberos out there so I can learn by example
Hello! Unrelated comment but it would be really interesting to see you react to a beach volleyball match (Taylors vs Partain/Lotman maybe?)
I should do a beach match soon! Thanks for the rec!
@@ErikShojivolleyball 😍
Hi Erik, can you share to us a few setter hand signals Micah uses? I need it for an upcoming tryout in my school
I’ll be honest…I really don’t even know haha. Just make sure they’re clear and effective and that your hitter knows what you’re saying 😀
@@ErikShojivolleyball Aww dang.. thanks tho
Erik let's not forget David is a setter who became a middle. Thus when he's in the floor there's always two setters. Even if setter was not on and David is there's a setter.😉
Yes David is an amazing setter but I don’t think he was a setter first. Was he??
Favorite Libreo
คิดถึงมากๆๆ🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤🇹🇭🇹🇭
Erik, I want to order a zaksa jersey with your name on it but do you know if they ship to the US?
I will look into it!
@@ErikShojivolleyball thanks man! ❤️
Hey erik i have an question can i still watch the full matches somewhere after vnl is actually over ?
VBTV though you need to pay.
@@user-yu1cw6od6h thank you i look after it later
yes! volleyballworld.tv has the matches but you do have to pay.
Hi Erik, could you please explain the difference between a 'pipe' and a 'bic', i know they're both backrow attacks but are they not the same thing?
In general they are the same. A middle attack from the back row. But technically speaking a bic is probably faster than a pipe. These are general terms and each team might have different terminology for both.
@@ErikShojivolleyball Thankyou so much :))
is it me or did that deep push look in? i swear it looked in by a lot too.
I think maybe in person it was close but clearly out. Japan did not challenge the call.
13:10 That ball was totally in though
We're waiting for a reaction to Italy vs Poland in teùhe World Cup Final pleaseeeeeee
probably coming soon!
Does that freeball not land in the court at 13:11?
it was barely out!
10:10 Kento Miyaura from Waseda University
Thank you! I’m sorry I forgot in the video! He is a great player!
Hey Erik! I'm starting to be a libero. Can you give me some tips please? Thank you so much!
Lots of tips in the videos I make! But get lots of reps and watch your favorite players play and try to learn from them!
Hi Eric. I have a question if you don’t mind. Are u also part Japanese?
Yes! I am Japanese from my fathers side. My fathers grandfather was born in Japan.
Hi Erik, do you know why some players wear leggings with only one leg and where can we find this equipment ?
It just depends on the individual player and how their body feels. Maybe it is for the knee, hamstring, or quad muscle. I don’t know which company every player uses but I know some guys use Bauerfiend company.
thank you very much Erik. it's really nice to hear back, keep it up
Where is Nishida? He didn’t play this match?
I believe he rested this match.
Please react to Japan vs Italy in the VNL 2022
Who does micah play for now

Come to Turkey
Shojiiiiiii

Pozdrawiam serdecznie Łukasz z Poznania
Pls do USA va France
Erik how do I improve as a setter?
watch the best setters on youtube, learn from them, and then try to bring that into your own game!
@@ErikShojivolleyball thank you!
pls react to thailand vs philippines mens vball Sea games
Why wasn’t Yuji Nishida plying??
I think he was just resting!
@@ErikShojivolleyball okay, thanks!
I'm a guy but I think you're cute hah.

Japanese look so tiny. like kids vs taitans🤔
In general they are a smaller team but they are so skilled!
