Same here! I have been following Coach Donny's vlog since 2018 and I have been watching Erik's game with Team USA a couple of years already, since 2015 I guess if I'm not mistaken and I love how he plays exceptionally in his libero position.
Oh damn, I watch coach donny's haikyu reactions then Erik shows up on recommendations, that's how I got to know him. Never imagined they would do a video together 😲
Its cool for me i grew up watch UH volleyball. And i cant recall at the moment... i guess i could just look. But i watched at least 2 championships with erics dad as coach
@@tonyliu5427 most. But yeah gotta be honest, I had no idea the Brazilian libero was 1,90m (6ft2). He looks so small in between and he other players hahahaah
@@erijak2935 i dont get how people think its cool to compare people that have worked hard their whole life to become the best at what they do to haikyuu characters that are high schoolers. I'm a huge haikyuu fan (I've seen the anime 3 times and read the manga twice) but it still bothers me. like let pros be their own person, not a knockoff of an anime character
I remember one year Eric and his brother Kawika were in the local news paper here in Hawaii when they were in High school. Because Eric went to Punahou and Kawika went to Rival high school Iolani, it was big news to see how the “sons of Dave Shoji” would lead their teams in the volleyball high school state tournament that year.
I LOVE THIS. I LOVE HIM, I AM SO GLAD YOU GOT THE CHANCE TO INTERVIEW HIM!! I do also have a question that comes up with this video though. I was wondering what type of personality type it takes to be a good libero. I've heard it comes with a lot of mental determination and I'd like to know what you have to say about that.
Hi, i want to say a big thank you to you bc i've learned the jump float serve from your vid, and today i used it in a match and it worked perfectly. Keep up the good work💪🏐
Aaaaaa thanks so much for this video as always it’s fun and I feel inspired ☺️. How is Eric so down to earth I aspire to be his level of chill and kindness. Haha haikyuu voice actor also do quick set questions on their radio show.
/favourite non-libero position: setter/ /favourite sport aside VB: tennis/ /fav player (among) Micah Christensen/ - Mr. Shoji, I believe we speak the same language here :D
@@A--lex primary is the key word he used. Erik is in the middle of a fucking season. Just the fact that he is able to make time to create videos regularly is insane work and dedication. If they both want to, I would cream my pants. But they live in separate time zones, have different routines and totally their own lives. So its unreasonable imo to ask for such things. Just my take, I am not restricting anybody from asking anything.
Great video. As someone trying to play in the NCAA, I would love to see podcasts of current division 1 NCAA players/recent D1 NCAA graduates. I know Gage Worsley from Hawaii has a podcast called "Out of System", so maybe a collab with him?
I find it surprising that many pro volleyball players have actually attended/completed a college/university degree before they became a pro. Probably because my primary sport is soccer. I get a strong feeling that volleyball is something you can go pretty far with even at a late age.
Coach Donny, I've recently started playing volleyball and I really like spiking a lot, but I'm getting really good at receiving and passing than spiking even tho I practice equally for both, my seniors tell me that I should play as the libero on the team, what do you think I should do ??
@Caiman Araújo I've tried blocking too, but that's the skil I'm lacking the most, the other team always scores by hitting the ball on my fingers since I can barely manage to get my wrist above the net, but there was one time when I blocked a 6'2 middle blocker, he didn't had much power in his spike so ball fell on their court
Erik has already seen all of season 1 and rewatched Noya’s scenes in a video. It doesn’t make sense for him to do it again with coach, who is watching for the first time.
OMG ITS FINALLY HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM
STAY FRICKING CALM
What’s happening? Why are people so excited?

Saaame!!!!!
NOOO WAYYYY YOU DID A COLLAB WITH USA NATIONALS LIBERO
He also did it with Anderson
We need more international level players with volleyball channels, so we can get an insight into what they think during games

Yuji Nishida just started his UA-cam channel. You might wanna check it out. :)
@@ジャン-j9h does he have english or spanish subtitles?

Fun fact : Shoji,a libero is actually taller than donny,an outside
By 2 inches or 3 I think for sure
All high level liberos are tall

We need joint haikyu episode reaction.....👍😁...
bruh get off that weed
Not really. Idk, they seem primarily like volleyball players than haikyuu reactors to me.

Was actually waiting for the mention of haikyu from both huehue
Epic collab and first question Coach asks is "what's your favourite song?" Lul love the casual nature
AMAZING!
YOOO this is crazy! I follow both of yall already what a nice collab.
This was bound to happen,but I didnt think it would be this early
Hello again coach 😎👍
Wow I started to watch you and Erik's reaction video about Haikyuu and now this is happen!!

Erik is great! Nice content, coach.

I'VE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST OMG WHATS IS THIS? MY BRAIN
You should do an episode with the OutOfSystem boys.
I was looking forward to the reaction vid for Haikyuu. I hope it'll get uploaded sooner.
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roosevelt!!! shoutouts to the islands. And Eric i knew you were an island boy ever since i saw your name. Oahu Grown.

Coach, are you watching Haikyuu today?

@@Bogen01 use discord it can be happen bro

@@callmemikasa417 how.? Watch at same time & communicate on discord.?? Hmm
@@UltimatePower01 i know, but its seems intresting to look at it, like senpai & kohai :v iykwim

Very nice hook at the end coach. I rewound twice. Have you checked out Public Speaker Reacts? His video on davie504 has intersting tips
yo so cool
