Hey Eric, I’ve been a viewer since you made this channel and just wanted to say: You may not get the most views all the time, but what you’re doing is so invaluable for the volleyball community. How much interesting and informative content you put out is amazing, especially as I am trying to become a better libero. Keep on going and keep on being you! :)
Yaaaaaaa
"Setter, the one who blames their team for everything."
Kageyama: *Chokes on Strawberry milk*
That video was filmed in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 it’s a classic and a lot of people do call outside hitters “power” here, especially in lower levels
Totally true
Thissss
These film makers are from Vancouver, and we say "power" for the left sided hitter. It's just one of those terminology things that are determined from where your from.
i love this video it’s so funny but not some of the people not knowing it’s satire 😭
idc if he didn't get that it was satire because him being so serious and concerned makes it funnier. also love how it shows how much he cares
People don’t understand the satire behind pretty much every aspect of that video lmao
Really appreciate your respect for the women in this video Erik :)
I love how Erik takes this video seriously!
If you look at ihft's content, they intended to make it as a joke. The guys who made their content are supper down to earth. They have pivoted making biking/adventure content and are local creators in the Vancouver area.
funny about the 'nice hands thing' my coach once told me i was "really good with my fingers" lol
When he just said "I don't serve" with the straightest face like 😐😐 I'm dead💀
I absolutely love your celebrations it’s my favorite thing ever!! I always watch replays just for that!
This guy is so wholesome, i dont even know him as a person but i just love him, he motivates me aswell!
This is an old video made by some Vancouver, BC, guys (that's why they use "power" instead of OH), it's supposed to be funny/trolly, not accurate. I guess since it made it to 5m views it makes sense to react to it :-P
I love watching your celebrations on the court. I think they are the best. And everyone should be that way.
I was literally about to ask Erik to watch this video! Its fantastic!
I absolutely love Erik's celebrations and you can tell his teammates do too.
Bro your videos are the best please never stop!!!! They make me so happy!!😁😁
The term "Power" is used up in Canada. I know the guys that made this video
i started playing volleyball, my first "year" just ended and i was hooked on the sport from the very first practice.
1:06 erik’s face lmaoo
Can you please do more day in the life/vlogs? Love those kinds of videos 😊😊 anyway, love this video! Enjoyed it very much
power must be a canadian thing if yall dont use the term
at least for me in canada, we used power
FINALLLY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG
3:31 in canada left side is also called power :))
Yep, can confirm that's my coach in high school called it that as well. But I also remember the Opposite/RS being referred to as Offside.....I havent seen that term used in years so I figured it was just old fashioned vocab
We want a workout video for libero from you. Please😭
You should react to Scott sterling volleyball
Im pretty sure that "Power" is a Canadian thing. I have always thought of that position as Power 🤷♂
I remember that i started to play voleyball with ballons in the living room to, but after 6 Years i started to play with a ball 😅
But have you ever heard of Scott Sterling?
as an italian person, the way u said libero its perfect shoji pizza mandolino
Man I love your content Eric ❤️
Erik should post training tips (for people returning to volleyball) cuz the situation is going back to normal
Hey Eric, since I saw the video footage of UCLA versus TWU I realy wish you would do a reaction video on it. Great video as usual!
Congratulations on the two wins!
Hi Erik! Love your movie! Maybe next time you will make a video with your polish teammates or a video where you learn polish language/polish volleyball words 😛(i know it is not easy)
Greetings and good luck in PlusLiga matches! 🤗
That jacket is sooo clean 🔥🔥
Erik, is there a way for someone in NA to watch your games? Don't really know where to start to look for it!
11:00 they snuck one in Erik lol
Not from Canada but we also use the term power for outsider hitter as well
My friend wanted knee pads but his father didn’t let him and he had to get an a on a math test
You are awesome, 🥰🤗
It's hard to do a dive on concrete fun fact
This was made on my birthday
What is your routine before match please ☺️?
The VNL is near. Some of the event will be held here in the Philippines but I’m sad that Team USA is not included to play here. Goodluck to your coming games, be safe always. ❤️
Funniest video I've seen this month
Just wondering when should you replace your knee pates cause mine kinda have some holes in the middle but they still play fine
If they’re negatively affecting your play or aren’t properly protecting you then you need new ones but other than that it’s down to personal preference.
Where I'm from if you play Outside you say "I'm hitting power". Just depends on where you're from, never heard it anywhere else though so I'm surpried they called it that.
We need a Danny Kinda reaction now.
Since when do you play volleyball?
You are my volleyball/idol, I would love to be soooo good as you are rn.
That's the reason why I lovveeeeee practice.
As a Canadian italian I died when he said Leebearohhhh
I mean it’s correct but with a lot of emphasis
He Kinda took some thing to serious
I'm 5'4 and I'm a middle blocker IM NOT SHORT ERIK! I'm Filipino it's average😭😭
where can I watch all the matches
"Power " lol
Can you react to the Philippines Avc battle please!!!!!Men's or Women's♥️♥️♥️
For everyone getting offended about the gender stereotype parts, I hope you all understand that the video was made 8 years ago which was a way different time as we know now.
bruh u make no sense
@@jobertmanalac4478 I’m not saying it’s right. But for people getting mad about a video which was made 8 years ago, it’s a bit nonsense. What do you wanna do? Make them delete their video? Pretty sure the guys who made this probably know better now.
Hey I just started to pick up a volleyball and start to love the feeling I’ve never played and I will be a senior next year, what’s the best thing to do before next high school season and will I be good enough or is there no time.
I think you have enough time to practice if you take it pretty seriously. I started in October and I'm pretty competent
practice a lot, find open gyms, find a club. Just play as much as you can and learn as much as you can, both skills and knowledge
This is a video made BY volleyball players making fun of themselves just a heads up lol
I think this was filmed at UBC in Canada
Yeah it’s a channel based out of Vancouver. Their “how to” videos are not meant to be taken seriously, they mostly focus on stereotypes. 😂
the video is satire
Can you still spike Erik?
I don't know why I can't jump higher when I'm smashing the ball, can you help me?
Might help, might not, but to get your max jump during spiking. Focus on jumping as high first, then focus on hitting
Try lifting to work on leg strength, work on jump technique separately as well, without hitting.
5:47 This statement wouldn't be true if you went to Saint Louis. I heard it all the time from the football guys.
Goat
You should react to koko volley
I love this lmao
Hi, Eric-san! I would like to hear your opinion, maybe sometime in your future video. Japanese national teams, male and female, used to be very good but they changed rules not to let us win. For example, the antennas, not to call over-net for blocks. I think the elimination of the antennas, at least, will make volleyball more interesting because it will make short and fast players more competitive. I know that it will never happen, though. GAMBATTE! from Japan👍✌😁
Sure, keep dreaming buddy.
@@haanis5458
I'm not dreaming, I'm not trying to blame anyone, I'm just stating the fact. Eliminating those rules will give more opportunities to those who are not born tall. Fast volleyball with combination strategy is the thing that fascinate people, I think.
That actually does sound pretty great! I think i didnt understand when i read your comment. And for that i apoligize.
@@haanis5458
I apologize that I wrote in a way that did not convey my intentions because of my bad English. Sorry and thanks for your understanding!😁
@Kengo No problem my guy!
I know the rest of the terms but what does pepper mean
It's a warm up drill with 2 people (3 is possible) to practice ball control, passing/digging, setting, and swinging at the ball. You and a partner take turns going back and forth with the ball starting with one person simply passing the ball high enough right to their partner for them to set the ball, the second person then sets the ball right in front of their partner, then the 1st partner who passed the ball swings at the ball that got set to them, and finally the other partner attempts to dig/pass the ball that is swung at them. From that pass the drills start over again with the ball going to the second partner to set and then the person who passed it swings the ball. There's some variation depending on if someone messes up or if a ball is out of system. Its hard to explain in only words so I highly recommend you look it up on youtube. Hope I could help!
@@TheDarkVirusx oh thanks, didn't realise that had a name.
Interesting and fun！😄😄😄 I like your comments！！
Please React to The Best Libero Moments of Dawn Macandili Pls = )
#TeamHighSocks, I’ve hurt my self when I played with low socks 🙁
I wear high socks during games but low socks at practice but the only reason why I wear low socks is because I play middle so we don’t pass at all basically 😔
1:07 sussy👀
Do* you have to be short to be a good libero?
not really. short people usually are more agile and quicker than taller people making them better for the libero position but it’s not impossible for an above average in height person to become a good libero 👍
My coach said the best libero he ever knew was 6’1”
@@Chiara-ep5er My coach wont make me libero im only 5'5 but one of the tallest on the team, best digs and receives tho
@@oceansgamingtv3987 oh if you’re one of the tallest you might just have to deal, do you get put middle a lot? I’d assume your coach wants the taller ppl there. Just keep emphasizing your want to play libero and keep making good passes hopefully they’ll see you’re worth more as libero
Like for junior high my coach had me setter even though I didn’t want to just because there was no other person to play it
@@Chiara-ep5er Yeah im the middle lol
Troll video, love it.
Fr, it’s so funny
Wanna ask, as an amateur player, can i use basketball shoes instead, i dont have volleyball shoes
i mean, a few years ago, during my u12's, i sometimes would wear crocs to practice. so i think youre fine. also a schoolmate who plays on a boys team wears basketball shoes. basically the same.
depends if they heavy or not. Like some carmelos or Paul Georges are perfect but some lebrons or KD's would suck
there is a difference with how each absorb impact
if they have good grip, good support, and are light, go ahead
I use basketball shoes. Most of my college teammates wore them too!
So you have to be short to be a good libero?
No, it helps though.
No Erik is 6 feet tall
Libero🤌🤌
Erik,
this video's intention is to be comical and making fun of the stereotypes and criticisms of volleyball. The more you dissect and nit pick it ,the more serious you will take it and the comedy of the video will be lost. Long story short, dont take a non-serious/comedic video so seriously lol.
can someone tell me what all the jargon means?
Spike: a hit from a high point.
Set: When the setter, hits the ball high above the net so that a spiker can spike it across.
Tool : An offensive attack when a hitter hits off the blocker's hands and the ball goes down on the opposing team's side to earn a point.
Kill: successful, legal, point-scoring play. It can be from a spike attack, tip or dump.
Floater or Float : A non-spinning serve characterized by unpredictable, erratic movement during flight caused by airflow interacting with the seams of the ball.
Line: No idea which one they mean.
Pipe : A back row set aimed at the middle of the court
Seam: When serving, the area between passers on serve receive; when attacking, the area between blockers or back row defenders.
Ace: A serve which lands in the opponent's court without being touched, or is touched but unable to be kept in play by one or more receiving team players
Dig: A defensive contact following an opponent's attack resulting in a playable ball.
Free ball: A ball that is passed over the net because an attack wasn't possible.
Roof : When the defensive player blocks a ball so hard that it is immediately returned to the hitter and goes straight to the floor.
Pokey : A ball contacted with the knuckles especially on the beach.
Pepper: A drill in which players hit a ball back and forth in a pass, set, spike, pass, set, spike, etc. pattern without a net.
Touch: When a player touches the ball probably during defence.
Tip : A softer or off-speed finesse attack, usually committed with more of the fingers and fingertips than the whole hand as used in an attack.
Shank: When a player unintentionally passes a ball in a wild manner, rendering it unplayable to their teammates.
Side out: When the team that served the ball loses the rally, causing the other team to serve the next point.
Take these with a grain of salt, I'm not a professional and not involved in volleyball in any way other than playing with friends.
@@Liberanimus For "line" (apart from the obvious lines on the court), it can also refer to where you spike/hit the ball (either cross court/diagonally) or straight (down the line)
Hui Hui Hui hui
on your tiktok.
Ur such a muffin; jk! & Those prepositions. :P
9:00 I honestly don’t get why they tried to differentiate between a girl’s cheer and a guy’s cheer. My club team (girls) cheer the same way the guys do in the video every time we get a kill/ace. And as far as I’m concerned, every girls team I’ve played against/seen cheer the same way as my team does. I’ve been to multiple large scale tournaments with 100+ teams, over 1000 being the max, so that says a lot.
Bonus, my teammates have full on bodied me as a way to celebrate. Knocks the absolute wind out of me, but i absolutely love it. It proves how much they love the game/sport and how strong our bond as a team is.
I think we can say that it was a subtle joke, it was funny and we know not all girls or even the majority celebrate like that, they even made a joke about how men play volleyball it's for girls and make fun of the guy, but I am with you tho
its a joke.
@@rihyyo ya don’t say?
@@rihyyo even if it is, it’s fucking annoying
@@yelenasimp2936 i dunno why youre so pissed off :/. i mean- it's not true though. the majority of female teams probably do the 'male' cheer. but during my u11's, we had a male coach and didnt know how to cheer. so we relied on his daughter. trhe cheer was terrible and it involved a spin. we had to do it EVERY SINGLE POINT. it was pretty stupid.
Does he not realize that the video is satire?
Istg the video he’s watching is kinda sexist 😭
it’s satire, Jesus
@@vektoridk1446 I was joking lmao I wouldn’t take things like that seriously 😭🤚
@@aim.t you definitely were buddy
@@poldi7124 what-
@@vektoridk1446 being satire and sexist aren’t mutually exclusive lol.
Well,not a fan of those gender-relative stereotypes tho....
ok
Oh I’m so sorry for you Timmy, you need a hug and to tell you the world is gonna be a rainbow and kisses?
damn i guess the world will burn
10:30 again with the gender differentiation.. love the video bc it’s funny but it’s literally so annoying :|
I will say that in USA, girls volleyball is a more popular middle and high school sport than boys volleyball. And since there are more girls teams, you definitely see more "casual" girls teams, while the only boys who ever play volleyball are the ones that are serious. I've definitely seen girls tournaments where some teams are staying warm and other teams are just off doing "girly" things like nails or hair or whatnot. Never seen that for boys, but there are generally less teams for high school boys.
It's really more just a consequence of numbers, not gender directly.
I’m sorry, but who exactly said we were only talking about the USA here?? /gen
and who said this was only middle school and high school volleyball??
while we’re on the topic tho, middle school volleyball is mostly a complete joke (in the USA). The coaches are almost always one of the school’s staffs who have no experience in the field and the players hardly ever actually learn anything that’s actually useful. What level of school volleyball are you playing for to be seeing that? Guys don’t even have long hair (majority of the time) to do so I don’t see the point in you mentioning that, but doing each other’s nails? Yall’s tournaments must mean absolutely nothing if the players bring beauty products to use during their time off.
But since you’re speaking based on your own experience, I will do the same. The boy’s varsity team for my high school come to their games with pigtails and pink bows which is pretty “girly” if you ask me. Of the 1000+ girls teams I’ve seen in my entire volleyball career, I’ve never once seen a girl’s team come to a game in such a manner. Not even my 7th grade team from years ago had the luxury of doing absolutely nothing during our off time.
No, it’s definitely a gender differentiation. There being more girls team then there is for guys doesn’t mean tires normal for them to slack off and do “girly” things.
@@yelenasimp2936 I'm not sure if this is true, but you sound aggressive, so I'd just like to say that there was no attempt to offend you.
If you don't mind, I'll address the bottom of your comments first. You said that having more girls teams than guys teams doesn't mean that it's normal for teams to slack off. But actually, that is exactly the case (not just for volleyball). When numbers increase, a larger proportion of them are less serious. This is something known as the Pareto Distribution, which is one of the most accurate statistical distributions in economics. It's even known to model things such as the success of iTunes songs, the energy efficiency of electronics, the size of grains of sand on a beach, the success of UA-cam channels, etc. Now, it's possible that girls volleyball is a statistical anomoly, but if girls volleyball (and boys volleyball) is characteristic of society, it absolutely would mean there are a larger proportion of girls teams slacking off simply because there are more girls teams. I'd like to add that I am not (or not trying to) speak based on my anecdotes or experience. I'm just trying to remain objective and look at the statistics.
As for the first comment on why I was speaking based on USA, it was simply because the group that filmed the video (IFHT Films) is Canadian (North American), and at the very least, I am more familiar with how volleyball is handled in North America than Europe. Perhaps I should have included Canada in my description as well, so fair enough. The reason why I said middle and high school, this is for a few reasons. First, it seems like they are filming in high school gyms. Second, most volleyball experience happens in middle and high school and most players do not go on to play at a college or professional level. As IFHT Films is a comedy film channel and not a volleyball film channel, it is reasonable to think that their experience is based on their time in gym class, high school, or interviewing other high school volleyball players for funny takes or jokes. With the exception of a few of their actors, most of them don't seem to be very skilled at volleyball.
Anyway, I'd just like to repeat that I was not attempting to debate, argue, or upset you in anyway. I was just pointing out a reason for why the "gender joke" existed in the video. That is, the combination of casual volleyball experience, North American volleyball culture, statistics and biases that result from those statistics, and an attempt at comedy.
@@Manakyn i apologize if I came off as aggressive, that’s just how I type. I don’t take offense to things said by people online so you don’t have to worry about that.
As for what you said in the first paragraph, I agree. However, I used the word “normal” in my last point, and not “common” for a reason. Yes, there are more girls team slacking off as compared to guys team due to the significant number difference which but in no way, shape, or form is it “normal”. You said “I’ve seen” while talking about what some of the girl’s teams do during off time at tournaments so I naturally assumed that you were speaking based on your own experience.
Yes, you should have included Canada and even Mexico if you were speaking based on your knowledge on how North America handles volleyball rather than just the US. I was not necessarily referring to college and professional volleyball, but rather club when I asked that question.
I did not once asked or have ever wondered why they added gender jokes to their video but instead, simply stated my opinion on the matter. Since your intention was not to debate or argue with me in any way, I truly believe your opinion and reply to my comment was unnecessary 😊
@@yelenasimp2936 Thanks for the conversation!
