No joke probably one of the best vb educational videos I’ve ever seen

You’re getting it!

Love to hear it!

Definitely a game of pick your poison in 4s

Yea

Indeed, we play his team twice a year

Yea we play his team twice

No doubt about it

Just takes practice

I think he just makes them up 😂

Glad you like it! It’s a secret formula I may never reveal

Certainly can! Glad you like the content.

Tough angle to tell, nobody really argued though.

This was like one of my first times playing golf ever

Depends on the pace of play and level you're playing at. Collegiate volleyball and up you often don't have the time to track shoulders visually, or the attackers are equally as skilled at hitting cross body shots so I wouldn't always say that's your best bet for blocking skilled attackers.

love to hear that

I can see what I can do! email me at msterk11@gmail.com

It’s a ton of fun! Definitely translates to make your indoor game a lot better as well.

Let’s go! Glad to hear that

I’ll give you an example. You can make the argument that for a team like UCLA, their best player is their outside hitter Ethan Champlin, 3x 1st team all American. Let’s refer to him as the best player. While he’s a go to guy. Middle blocker merick Mchenry is a stud hitting over .500 on the year. So while Champlin may be your best player, going to mchenry in high leverage situations because you know you can trust him with his high attacking percentage is a good choice as a setter. Moral of the story, if you have someone that doesn’t get as many attempts as your best plays but is still very efficient ( usually middles) getting them involved when you need side outs is a good strategy.

@@mitchsterkenburgthanks for the explanation!

@@mitchsterkenburg Thanks for the response, but I'm not sure I get it; Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake here. If McHenry from your example had a higher percentage than Champlin in a given series of games, that would make him my best attacker, right? Concretely: If I were a setter, I would consider the player with the highest point-conversion percentage as the best attacker, since other aspects of the game are not, or at least less relevant to consider when I'm distributing balls to attack, right? So why would I prefer to go to my overall best player, if there's another player who maybe lacks defensive skill, but converts more (typical for middles)? Shouldn't I lean on them more than the otherwise better player?

@@kilian7919 hitting percentages are often distorted by volume and transition plays. Middle typically have really high hitting percentages because of their lower volume. Tough for pins to hit above .400 because so many scramble plays and back row attacks. So I wouldn’t say the highest percentage attacker would be considered the best attacker all the time. In many cases, yes usually one of the best but not always. Most importantly hear, in the best player vs. highest percentage attacker conversations it’s really splitting hairs. But the point behind the message is to trust your middles when you need a big point.

@@mitchsterkenburg aha, see, that makes perfect sense; Glad I asked the follow-up. Thanks for clarifying, I needed the hint on the relationship between position and resulting relative percentages within the team and within positions. In my team (we had a garbage season), I have the feeling that a relatively low conversion from attacks by our MBs held us back. Based on the fact that they very rarely had rates higher than our OHs/OPs, which should not be the case. That will need to be bigger focus for next season then. Cheers!

Man I’m so glad to hear that. Count on them to stick in all my videos from here on out

@pmevolleyball

100%, lots of outdoor content to come this Summer.

In our matches there will inevitably be a few balls that go high off the block and deep out of the court. We are willing to sacrifice a few of those a game, but by positioning yourself in a more shallow position central to the court your able to pick up a lot more balls that come to your radius instead of having to guess which way to go, left or right. You will your way into a lot more digs and it simplifies defense in the backrow. Not to say this strategy works at all levels, but I would imagine the pickup level you play at doesn't always have a closed block which would make it even more advantageous to push up on defense in the six.

Without a doubt, defensive strategy and overall volleyball philosophy varies significantly depending on the level you are playing. I will definitely keep that in mind in future videos.

yes you did!

The shortest middle blockers height in this match is about 6 foot 4 or 193 centimeters.

absolutely can!

Thats just what I was about to say, you copied my words 🤯

you would be right. His team plays not too far from ours so we play a few times a year.

When you contact the ball with the knuckles of your fingers. Usually the thumb, index, and middle finger knuckles.

Thank you! And yes, very high level volleyball for Division III

You got it! More to come in this department

Sony ZV E10

Appreciate it!

Elite athleticism on full display

@@mitchsterkenburg hey man you have my respect ive seen the athletes you train coach getting his own is cherry on top

hm, I don't think the coaches are allowed to touch a playable ball even if the ref says so pregame.

If the ref stated the centerline is a dead ball then the call would be point for the serving team. If it’s not stated then it would be a different call.

They sleep on it

The beach winds in full affect

He’s known for that

I was too

Not the expected reaction after a play like that

thank you very much

yes

all around

great team

glad to hear it!

thanks for the feedback
