Same here! I have been following Coach Donny's vlog since 2018 and I have been watching Erik's game with Team USA a couple of years already, since 2015 I guess if I'm not mistaken and I love how he plays exceptionally in his libero position.
Oh damn, I watch coach donny's haikyu reactions then Erik shows up on recommendations, that's how I got to know him. Never imagined they would do a video together 😲
@@tonyliu5427 most. But yeah gotta be honest, I had no idea the Brazilian libero was 1,90m (6ft2). He looks so small in between and he other players hahahaah
Its cool for me i grew up watch UH volleyball. And i cant recall at the moment... i guess i could just look. But i watched at least 2 championships with erics dad as coach
I remember one year Eric and his brother Kawika were in the local news paper here in Hawaii when they were in High school. Because Eric went to Punahou and Kawika went to Rival high school Iolani, it was big news to see how the “sons of Dave Shoji” would lead their teams in the volleyball high school state tournament that year.
@@erijak2935 i dont get how people think its cool to compare people that have worked hard their whole life to become the best at what they do to haikyuu characters that are high schoolers. I'm a huge haikyuu fan (I've seen the anime 3 times and read the manga twice) but it still bothers me. like let pros be their own person, not a knockoff of an anime character
I LOVE THIS. I LOVE HIM, I AM SO GLAD YOU GOT THE CHANCE TO INTERVIEW HIM!! I do also have a question that comes up with this video though. I was wondering what type of personality type it takes to be a good libero. I've heard it comes with a lot of mental determination and I'd like to know what you have to say about that.
Hi, i want to say a big thank you to you bc i've learned the jump float serve from your vid, and today i used it in a match and it worked perfectly. Keep up the good work💪🏐
@@A--lex primary is the key word he used. Erik is in the middle of a fucking season. Just the fact that he is able to make time to create videos regularly is insane work and dedication. If they both want to, I would cream my pants. But they live in separate time zones, have different routines and totally their own lives. So its unreasonable imo to ask for such things. Just my take, I am not restricting anybody from asking anything.
Aaaaaa thanks so much for this video as always it’s fun and I feel inspired ☺️. How is Eric so down to earth I aspire to be his level of chill and kindness. Haha haikyuu voice actor also do quick set questions on their radio show.
/favourite non-libero position: setter/ /favourite sport aside VB: tennis/ /fav player (among) Micah Christensen/ - Mr. Shoji, I believe we speak the same language here :D
Great video. As someone trying to play in the NCAA, I would love to see podcasts of current division 1 NCAA players/recent D1 NCAA graduates. I know Gage Worsley from Hawaii has a podcast called "Out of System", so maybe a collab with him?
I find it surprising that many pro volleyball players have actually attended/completed a college/university degree before they became a pro. Probably because my primary sport is soccer. I get a strong feeling that volleyball is something you can go pretty far with even at a late age.
Coach Donny, I've recently started playing volleyball and I really like spiking a lot, but I'm getting really good at receiving and passing than spiking even tho I practice equally for both, my seniors tell me that I should play as the libero on the team, what do you think I should do ??
@Caiman Araújo I've tried blocking too, but that's the skil I'm lacking the most, the other team always scores by hitting the ball on my fingers since I can barely manage to get my wrist above the net, but there was one time when I blocked a 6'2 middle blocker, he didn't had much power in his spike so ball fell on their court
OMG ITS FINALLY HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM
STAY FRICKING CALM
What’s happening? Why are people so excited?
@@janpeters1397 America’s libero Erik shoji and coach Donny are finally meeting

Saaame!!!!!
NOOO WAYYYY YOU DID A COLLAB WITH USA NATIONALS LIBERO
He also did it with Anderson
We need more international level players with volleyball channels, so we can get an insight into what they think during games
Facts
Yuji Nishida just started his TH-cam channel. You might wanna check it out. :)
@@ジャン-j9h does he have english or spanish subtitles?
@@grogu_2003 unfortunately he doesn't hace yet, hope he adds subs.

Fun fact : Shoji,a libero is actually taller than donny,an outside
By 2 inches or 3 I think for sure
All high level liberos are tall

Donny in the back of his head like "let me get a try out for the olympic team"
Didn't see that coming😍. Erik is my fav. libero, he is real life nishinoya...Loved it coach donny🔥🔥

Hello again coach 😎👍
I am just thinking earlier if you two could do a collaboration. wow!
/favourite non-libero position: setter/ /favourite sport aside VB: tennis/ /fav player (among) Micah Christensen/ - Mr. Shoji, I believe we speak the same language here :D
That was amazing. Now all we need is coach to convince USAV to create a pro league
Ohh my GOD 🙏🙏
Wow i can't believe this, it's so cool
