    Kiraly wasn't the tallest, strongest or quickest but he had mental toughness and heart.

    Height is obviously an advantage. When you have great heights, you can reach to your highest position faster when you are blocking. For setters, when you are tall, automatically you will have wide set of palms. So, you are able to get a good grasp/grip/hold of the ball to set without having to think about the risk of the ball to get slipped from your hands. And if you are tall, your body will have a long set of arms automatically. It is much easier to dig, set, spike and block the ball with a long pair of arms instead of short one

      A IG Digging could be a problem when you are too tall, like over 2m.

    • @Runciedany
      @Runciedany 6 років тому +6

      A IG Also Brazil with legends like Giba and Murilo who were less than 6'4'' ,dominated world volleyball in 2000-2010 time period winning everything under the sun.If height was everything, then much taller Russians, Polish and even Americans would have stopped them.

      You do have an advantage for being tall but I am a setter and I am 5’4” and still growing and I have bigger hands than some of the tallest people at my school.

    Intelligence is key too. Never really met a good, college or higher level player that was not an intelligent individual. I have met a lot of dumb football and baseball players, but not really volleyball. They are smarter and better athletes. Not very many over weight guys or girls on the court, and court/team/self awareness is extreme for volleyball. Soccer is up there too.

    • @fightrrrrr

      Lol you can’t say all volleyball players are smarter and better athletes than football or baseball players. There are white people in those sports too --Joe Biden

    • @VijayGandhinagar
      @VijayGandhinagar 2 роки тому

      Not sure how you measure the intelligence of a player. Let me introduce you to Troy Polamalu, Ray Lewis etc., who are successful NFL defensive player because they can read their opponents offense lineup. Tony Romo (ex cowboys QB) was spot on when he predicted correctly many team plays during his tenure as a commentator. Knowing your game and able to read your opponents strategy, predicting their next move can take an athlete one step above everyone irrespective of what sports they play. That's all the smartness they need to excel in their profession.

  • @Jess-lr1rv

    I really want to be an Olympic volleyball player. I am so passionate about sports in general and absolutely love volleyball. Though I have strong arms I don't have very strong legs. I am about 5''7 - 5''8 and 14 years old. I really hope to pursue this and are there any tips to get stronger legs?

    • @Chloe-jx8zn

    • @takamichisoares338
      @takamichisoares338 7 років тому +3

      Small block? He jumps a lot. By the way, Toniutti plays at the very very top. If he went to some d2 - d1 college volleyball level, he would win everything,and I'm pretty sure that's considered atleast a 'little bit' high

    @allgoo1930 6 років тому

    When you start training for volleyball, the first physical change you'll notice is growing leg muscles, from your old jeans becoming tighter.
    The legs and butts get disproportionally big.
    You don't notice when you watch the game on TV because the players are so tall.

      It's always possible that you will still grow! I was 1,60m when I was 16, now I'm 28 and 1,88m...And if you grow and can already jump, it's gonna be great^^ People who are big from the start often don't focus much on the right jumping-technique, because they don't have to.
      If you're having fun, keep playing!

    Don't listen to them. If you are short you can only do a few rotations in the back and a lot of bench. Don't ask me how I know. Pick a different sport. Soccer would be my suggestion.

    • @arnieb.6506
      @arnieb.6506 3 роки тому +1

      I played open volleyball back in the 70's and 80's mainly. We wore shorts that were short. Not long things they wear now. They were never tight like the women, but still were pretty short. It allowed you to bend down closer to the floor, at least that's what it felt like to me. But styles change...

    • @mirieshii1948
      @mirieshii1948 2 роки тому

      if you're referring to beach volleyball, go watch interviews on ACTUAL professional volleyball players like Keri Walsh and the Tokyo gold medalists in women's beach VB. They are allowed to choose what to wear but MOST of them PREFER bikinis.
