@@aaronf1647 yea I just wanted to say that's definitely not a high ball to outside lol. spiker was already in his penultimate step when setter didn't even have the ball it's a crazy fast set and probably same timing as middleblocker shoot
Interesting fact, a lot of the change in serves is because of Kiraly. The Jump Topspin serve was invented (or, at least, popularized) in the mid 80s by Brazil, with Renan, Montanaro and Willian. They developed the technique in order to beat the USA, since they had a very strong passing formation with Kiraly and Berzins. It worked in the group fase of the 1984 Olympics, when Brazil beat the US 3-0. Unfortunately, in the finals, the USA had adapted and Brazil suffered a lot due to nerves as well.
That hit... in addition to the 3 NCAA titles, 4 Olympic Gold medals (2 indoors as a player, 1 on the beach and 1 as a coach) and 148 career beach tournament wins. 🐐🐐🐐

Current players are absolute machines. They jump unbelievably high and have arm speed that is out of this world. Spikes are definitely not something that could show how good someone from back in the day was. He would just pale in comparison to many current players...
Are you high? He is the literally the best passer we have ever seen. His passing ability changed the game. Mentally, there was nobody better. 6'2" tall, 40"+ vertical, could hit effectively from all 6, elite court vision, and great armswing. He is great in ANY era.
@@jameybaxter Not many people know that Karch broke his arm when he was a youngster (handstands and put his hand into a hole - ouch!). Because of that, his elbow actually bends a little backwards allowing for an even better passing platform. He's medically enhanced for volleyball! 😄
Yeah I noticed that too. It's very interesting. I've also seen some footage of him helping out with a drill for women's national team a few years ago hitting conventional footwork. I guess it's just a beach thing.
@@lliebeler4vb942 He was normal indoor and goofy foot outdoors. Did he play right side outdoors? I can't remember, he was done playing by the time I started.
Karch talks about this. He used a regular foot approach indoor as an outside hitter, but purposely used a goofy approach in the beach game. He played left side on the beach also. I cannot remember exactly why he did it, but something about jumping out of sand requires shorter steps and he liked to keep his shoulders more square to the net on the beach... Anyway- it worked for him. No arguing that
standing float, high ball outside...crazy how much the game has changed since then
Lol that is a really fast set to the outside. But i agree.

Volleyball King!
What really made Karch the GOAT is that team USA only used two players in serve receive because he was such an amazing passer.
Yeah and I think bad then they played old schools rules, meaning you can’t use an open hand on the first touch of the serve
That’s really dope all around
It's also nice when you have no blocker.
Yeah it makes it a lot easier doesn't it
The sideout machine 🔨
This clip is more rare than most people realize. Actual video of Karch Kiraly hitting a LINE SHOT on the left.
People would be calling me the volleyball GOAT if I ever faced a block that bad
what block?
@@ninnn3025 well said
no, they wouldn't

Вот это прыжок у Карча !
GOAT! Period.
When you have a 40” vertical, that’s what you do.
That's weird, his approach wasn't goofy footed here, but later in his career (beach at least), he always used a goofy approach.

Playing on sand means the approach needs to be more straight up than the semi-broad jump of indoor play.
Ué. Foi uma bola atacada sem bloqueio.
Where's the blocker lol
in the gulag
