    Hey everyone! Thanks for subscribing and thanks so much for all of your great comments! You've helped make this one of the top volleyball videos on UA-cam!!! I'm sorry I haven't responded to any of your questions and comments but I've been locked out of my account for like 3 years and finally got it back!!! To answer the most common questions: The song is Insomnia by Faithless. Leonel is 6'5" tall I think that's just over 2 meters. He touches over 12'. The star of Men's Cuban National Volleyball team has a 50" Vertical Jump. This guy is truly amazing to watch.

      @@theoriginalrudeboy2916 Just start jumping every day. Rest a day when you feel you really need to but otherwise just jump more. Make sure everyday you get warmed up to some degree and put max effort into each jump. My jump went up like two inches in the first 5 days when I started jumping everyday. And your body gets really fast at recovering so you don't have to worry about overtraining

    It is very easy to criticize the fact that it is not really a 50 inch jump. Maybe it isn't, but even if it isn't just look at this video ! He is incredible ! look at his moves, he is superb, best volleyball player I've seen. Give him the credit instead of criticizing ... It's not like any of you can do a 50 inch jump so...

  • @xXBrookesVoiceXx

    @mattattack28 15 років тому +1

    Yes, I know, and it is measured from the bottom of your foot to the ground when your body is extended. When you hurdle, you can lift your legs up so just your butt is above the hurdle. 4'2" from foot to ground - I'm sure he could shave off another 2.5 feet by merely lifting foot up to about butt level, PLUS he has a running start. He's 6'5", his legs are longer than 2.5 feet.
    I've already thought all that through. Hurdle is always bigger than vertical. I don't make stupid thoughtless comments

      I agree. Leonel is 6' 5". Regulation net height is 7' 11 5/8". From the footage, he may be getting only 40" vert at best @1:25(only footage where he is jumping relatively straight up). He has impressive hops, but none of the footage showed him jumping close to 50"

  • @23flight23
    @23flight23 14 років тому

    Leonel is 6'5". The top of his head is 19" from the top of the 8 foot net. So, if he were jumping 50 inches, the top of his head would be 31 inches (2 1/2 feet) above the top of the net. The best view is at 0:43, and he is maybe 20 inches above the net. So, we're not seeing anywhere close to 50 inches, at least in this video. Still phenomenal to watch though, thanks for posting.

  • @Iffy50
    @Iffy50 16 років тому

    Swing-It means you run behind the other hitters to confuse the blockers.
    Look at 21 seconds in. You can see the setter and the middle blocker are both in the air. The strong side player is making his approach. The other back row is faking an attack and the libero (in red) is just back there too. If the setter is front row Leonel is back row,if he is back row then Leonel is playing opposite. Do they play 6-2 or 5-1? If it's 6-2 then Leonel is certainly playing opposite.
