Hey Volleyball Players! Just a reminder that if you do get hit in the head, please see an athletic trainer or other medical staff member to get get checked out! Headshots can cause head injury so please please please make sure you are checked out and are ready to get back out there on the court!
I was seriously watching until you said "oh this is me." 😂😂😂 And then you laugh when you saw yourself got a facial too. I died laughing 😂😂😂 Life of a libero. I feel you Erik. 😘❤😂
I was training with the national team and we only train once a month so I wasn’t fully used to the servers and someone served float for some reason I thought I was in the right position then next thing I knew it was straight in my face. That’s even more embarrassing because it was a float and I had time not just a power hit 🙃
Eric ... do also reviewing Asian Country Volley Ball player ... not just euro or Soth American player . There are so many Asian Good player ( not only Japan , Sth Korea or China ....) kindly Thank You
Ive been at a new school for six months and this school is big into volleyball we have 4 volleyball courts and I play while wearing glasses because I have the worst eyesight and I have Already broken 3 pairs og glasses in six months
Brings me back to the high school volleyball days where I got smacked in the face by the ball while going for a block. Half my face was just red for the rest of the day. Worst part was the ball ended up going out. :( Love the videos man, keep it up!
Hey, Erik, Today I gave the assignment to watch the best liberos in the world perform and to give me a review on their performance. This is for an 8th grade PE class in Santa Barbara, Ca. Here is what my student wrote.... I watched the Erik Shoji video which was pretty awesome, he has a lot of skill. The main thing I noticed is that Erik would always go super low for the ball so he would be more stable and have more power. Every play that he deflected was highly calculated and I could see the gears turning in his head as he tried to pass the ball. Something I can appreciate about his playstyle is that he would always go for the ball no matter what and I could see that all the skill was crafted into those fast moments. The ball would appear in front of him and he would automatically know what to do with the ball to make it stay up. Erik Shoji most definitely has power, skill, and the ability to combine the two into defensive plays that dismantle the opponent's attacks.
"what is about position 1?" ugh!! I KNOW right!!! I'm a setter so I truly experienced this ^^u after a few, you HAVE to learn to protect the face, no choice ^^u. thankfully it wasn't a this level. I can't imagine the headache
Hey Erik, when you mentioned that you lost your match in Russia, I was wondering what it's like being a professional volleyball player in terms of living. Do you live in the U.S. and travel to Russia for a few months to practice or do you live in Russia and go to the U.S. to practice with the National Team? I've always been interested in this aspect of a professional volleyball player since I have a dream of being a pro lol
thanks for watching and for the question! so in general the summers are for the national team and 7-8 months over the winter are for playing pro. so normally our players will head overseas in August/September/October and then head back to the states for the national team in April or Mayish
Cool! Do you have a house/apartment to stay in for both countries? I think I heard you mention in another video that you are rooming with someone thats also on the U.S. team but I can't quite remember lol. Thanks for replying back it means a lot lol
When I was in middle school everyone would play volleyball together at lunch and one time the ball was hit directly on my nose. Not my favorite memory 😅
I think a lot of those head shots happen in area 1 because outsides tend to be set more often, also middles are generally right handed which makes it easier to hit towards 1, just a guess from a volleyball nerd tho.
My good friend has the best sixpack i've ever witnessed. We were playing in a tournament and we ran a super deceptive 1 ball. The other team didn't see my friend come up. My friend hit the ball so hard into our opponent face (dead smack center in his face), the ball flew up 90 degrees straight up and almost hit the ceiling. The spectators all ran onto the court laughing lol. Our the opposing player sat out the rest of the game lol.
Hi Erik, was hoping you could react and analyze the 5th set between Canada and Japan in the 2019 World Cup. Nishida goes for a pretty insane service run.
I'm impressed at how laid back you all are after you get hit in the face. The one time it happened to me I was up and cussing darn near immediately! I had blood shooting out of my nose and a stream of abuse pouring out of my mouth. Not a pretty sight! Yet for some reason I kept playing until I couldn't anymore.
Hi Erik. I was wondering if you could react and analyze some set of the USA vs Japan team match in the 2019 World Cup. They have a strong defense, what plays do you think brought down that defense? 🤔... I loved the "this is me" 🥰🤣
can you make a video about tips and tricks for liberos, and how to improve a libero and be able to get most balls spiked at you and no matter how fast or hard.
(saw this idea below) Hi Erik, was hoping you could react and analyze the 5th set between Canada and Japan in the 2019 World Cup. Nishida goes for a pretty insane service run
i once got hit in the head during serve practice by a long and hard jump topspin serve that was going out... and he is one of the biggest hitters i know and yea I nearly blacked out hahaha
When you have a great up off a face dig and your teammates can't convert.... 😡 I often had just enough time to turn my head ever so slightly as to never get hit square in the nose.
Oh,I'm so sorry about your lost match,it was so tough ...I cheered with all my heart)))) Not be upset, your team were great,the game was awesome))))next time you'll definitely wiiiiiin))))))💝

Me in the past whenever I got hit in the head: “I’m fine! I can keep playing!”
me in the past whenever i got hit in the head: *laughs it off* i’m fine pft-
Thanks for the advice
Erik realizing he’s a libero: “am I gonna be in this?” 😂
Lol 😂💀💀
🤣😂
Brazil is just headshooting everyone
I was seriously watching until you said "oh this is me." 😂😂😂
And then you laugh when you saw yourself got a facial too. I died laughing 😂😂😂
Life of a libero. I feel you Erik. 😘❤😂
it seems like brazil is the best at hitting people in the face for some reason XD
and muserskiy
You really think your going to brazil concious?? Nah we'd rather no struggle.
@@four7685 nooooo I dont want to go to Braz-
@@esosaobayuwana5994 *bonk*
4:00 Eric: *oh that's us... ohhh Taylor!* 😂
Lol 😂😂
its hard to remember that this down to earth humble guy is actually a olympic level athlete for the USA
People who said volleyball is not a dangerous sport lol
When you said “Oh no this is me” I didn’t expect it to be that violent 😂 I love how surprised you were about being in this head shots video!!
*foreshadowing* “am I gonna be in this?”
Watching this makes my face and throat hurt from all the times I’ve been hit lol
This has to be one of the reasons why some people dont want to play volleyball. And they are missing a lot. Great vid E!
I love how Erik has Noya level defense but Yachi level concern 😂
Gets painful, gets his face red and cries watching everyone gets smashed on face but still says,
"You can't react to this." - Erik Shoji
Idk if you misunderstood the "react" meaning or you're just joking, but he meant that you physically can't react to defend your self from these balls.
I was training with the national team and we only train once a month so I wasn’t fully used to the servers and someone served float for some reason I thought I was in the right position then next thing I knew it was straight in my face. That’s even more embarrassing because it was a float and I had time not just a power hit 🙃
dont worry its happened to me too!
can u plz rank the top 5/10 players in each position?
"Oh no this is me"
Erik laughing watching Taylor's part. HAHAHAHAHA
"Oh that's us! Uh Taylor... 😅🤭" Sent me lmao
But I keep thinking.. for how long does your face hurt? 🤔
Eric ... do also reviewing Asian Country Volley Ball player ... not just euro or Soth American player . There are so many Asian Good player ( not only Japan , Sth Korea or China ....) kindly Thank You
I love Shoji's voice!! so cute so soft and sexy
I would never play defense without my hands in front of my face if these people were hitting at me lol.

And then saying 'nice recieve' to himself lmfao
React the women liberos
Ive been at a new school for six months and this school is big into volleyball we have 4 volleyball courts and I play while wearing glasses because I have the worst eyesight and I have Already broken 3 pairs og glasses in six months
Ooooo😑😑 I remember last year my friend and I were playing basketball and she hit the ball sooooo hard and banggg🤣🤣my nose was bleeding for hours 😂😑
Not how it workss
I am surprised that if you get a volleyball at 140km/h in your face, you don't get knocked out. Does this ever happen?
it can definitely cause a concussion!
Gotta be a Scott Sterling here somewhere.. Lol
Erik please react to some Japanese high school games! Also another great reaction video!!
Brings me back to the high school volleyball days where I got smacked in the face by the ball while going for a block. Half my face was just red for the rest of the day. Worst part was the ball ended up going out. :(

How do you become a volleyball player
Hey Erik!! My coach made my team do some homework on the difference between passing and defence, do you have any information that could help me :D
passing is serve receive and defense is from a spike. there are different techniques with both!
I watched the match live and was really sad when Kazan came back to beat you guys. But it was still a great game 💪🏼 on to the next one
can you make a video about tips and tricks for liberos, and how to improve a libero and be able to get most balls spiked at you and no matter how fast or hard.
I like players who go to apologize when they hit!!
Nice sportsmanship!
Can you react to a match of Japan women's volleyball!?!? That'll be really helpful to learn!!
(saw this idea below) Hi Erik, was hoping you could react and analyze the 5th set between Canada and Japan in the 2019 World Cup. Nishida goes for a pretty insane service run

When you have a great up off a face dig and your teammates can't convert.... 😡 I often had just enough time to turn my head ever so slightly as to never get hit square in the nose.
Oh,I'm so sorry about your lost match,it was so tough ...I cheered with all my heart)))) Not be upset, your team were great,the game was awesome))))next time you'll definitely wiiiiiin))))))💝
