Bwhhahahahhahaha the man the myth the legend
wait, seriously?
@@airi2402 yes
Ahahaahah Creus Certified!!! :)))
This is exactly the kind of volleyball content I've wanted to see on youtube for years
@@themckibbinbrothers Same honestly hearing backstories from people like yourself who eat, sleep and breathe volleyball into your blood for years is honestly really fucking interesting. As a newer player like myself who only plays on a casual level with friends it's soooo sick to hear you perspective on these things.
3 story time videos in a month, am i in a dream? also that rally in 10:10....i have never felt this much stress watching a game. This was phenomenal, great job!
They were defending like craaazy that rally I couldn't believe it when the ref pointed to the other side
@@themckibbinbrothers Ohh boy! The plays in this video were godly! Great spikes great saves and the sets.... that spot on set by you from the back line was CRAZY
That rally was absolutely INSANE
Amazing work
You guys are killing it with these short docs lately! Love it, Keep 'em coming! This was my favorite one yet.
This content is absolutely FIRE. Your ability to dig into the archives and edit in the actual footage is amazing. These videos have been so good, well done!!
Larry's ability to hit back across his body is absolutely phenomenal. And when it looked like he was out of room he added a cut and a side spin to force and even more ridiculous angle across. That attacking range is superb!
Seriously guys, there’s not enough like buttons for this video and your last few!! I forward them to everyone I know if the volleyball community, share them with my daughters and the players on our team, talk about them and watch repeatedly. Absolutely stellar!! Please let me know if you guys are ever in Miami. 🙏🏼
You know I live in Italy right now, am 19 yo, first year of college, and still didn't make it to a spot with the pro team so I was thinking about giving up on volleyball. I wouldn't say that I'm too bad but it obviously didn't work out. And I was pretty sure I would quit if it weren't for these videos, these stories you tell give me motivation, I will definetly try to give my best the next season, thank you so much 😁
This video is so good! I love the storytelling, the editing and being able to undestand the commentator of the match is the icing on the cake😁
Love these little docs, especially with the original stock footage and games
@@themckibbinbrothers crazy to think you guys played during the same time I did. My 08 senior year team was crap, but a lot of teams from the Central Valley were good. Kinda wished I met you guys on the court.
God this needs to blow up, got chills during that 28-27 set.
My face just lit up when you kept setting the middle and he kept on hammering ball after ball. This is a great story to hear. And you're right, a story has a happy ending depending on where you decide to end the story but I think we need more happy stories. There's so much evil and hate in the world that we need these victories too. Thank you
Bellissimo video! Da centrale mi son sentito preso in causa🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you for making us relive those wonderful moments spent at the sports hall. I remember very well the presentation of the team in the town square where you came out of the smoke of the stage with the Hawaiian blouse like a complete stranger. With sweat and sacrifice you have earned the place you deserve and for this San Giustino will always be in your debt. Thank you for making this wonderful Italian story known to the world. Congratulations, keep it up!
Love how much you guys are advancing your story telling in these videos! Super inspiring and moving! Love you guys!
Is nobody gonna talk about that penguin at 7:36?
It is staring at my soul
I'm from Padova and I had seen the video of that long rally dozens of times, but never realized you were in there as well! What a small world volleyball is! Glad you Riley came to Italy to play, even if it was only for a few years!
@@themckibbinbrothers yess, I got it from the video ahah! You know another nice coincidence? I played for years beach volleyball coached by Andrea Garghella, Padova's libero in that match!
Also, il tuo italiano è ancora perfetto, continua a fare pratica e non dimenticarlo!😊
Mitico! Vivo in Florida da 3 anni e dal primo giorno che mi sono trasferito ho iniziato a giocare a beach! sei il mio youtube idolo!!! Sei il migliore! Sarebbe bello incontrarti! Alberto.
This journey for sure allows me to understand why you are the way you are. You’re a grinder. You HAD to be. I_absolutely_love_this.
Straight-up soldier, Riley. Mad respect. And BTW, your D and balance in Hermosa Beach against Jake and Earl in (the team I coached ‘19)? It was over before it started.
Amazing story! From personal experience, the scariest thing an experienced player can face is an extremely hungry new player on the team, regardless of the sport.
Absolutely loving the story telling, hitting the beach right afterwards for some practice. Lots of love from Dubai!
You are a genuinely wonderfully talented story teller. Serendipitous ending be damned, this was an UNREAL inspirational telling. My story ended with a torn rotator cuff, goodbye NCAA div 1 ride. I can't wait for the next installment of this story.....thank you so much for sharing!
Amazing to rewatch this and realise that Tine Urnaut is one of the outsides and Fefe De Giorgi was Riley's coach.
Im really getting hungry for these vids! Is that a new cap i spy with my eye?
Love this story. The set point is amazing but the story behind it makes it so much more!
Watching old Italian matches AND HEARING YOU TELLING THESE IN FIRST PERSON is so surreal to me, this is an amazing video for every Italian follower :')
Wow. I don't want this to be taken lightly, but this is THE best video so far. The pace, the narrative, the FEEL you give us. You guys knocked it out of the park with this. Thank you.
Bravo bel lavoro! Galli commentary in Italian is so much fun to listen, being a Middle Blocker himself he was ecstatic to see you playing that way all the time. Il campionato Italiano is still the best in the world but now that I live here in US I have to say that the whole thing that Volley ends at College is a huge waste of talent both in the Man and Women volley
This is your best video yet! Everything is perfect, the editing, the storytelling, the rhythm,... bravo!
The last point of the first set was like a damn Haikyuu match
It is almost like haikyuu is based on volleyball :0
Dear Riley, i was a 16 y/o kid back then and I played in the juniores of San Giustino, I remember I was called by Fefè to train with you guys a couple days when Facundo got injured, it was an amazing experience that I remember with joy. Now I turned to beach volley and last two years I made it to 9th overall place in national championship behind giys like Nicolai/Lupo and Carambula/Rossi. Would love to play a match with you guys if you come to Italy (I still live in Umbria) or in America when the pandemic is over. Much love from Italy. Francesco
You guys better make a film on these stories hahaha. I love how your stories speak to me personally. Thank you, Beard Bros! 💪👏
Seriously! I love this! Had my 10 year old son watch the one where you played doubles with your son and he lost his mind! Asked when we could play on the tour! He's totally addicted to your videos, keep them coming! And thanks, you've inspired both of us!
Oh gosh, this video was simply 'tanta roba'!!! ;)
Thanks for sharing this part of your life fra'.
Adding the subs on the comments from the journalist was simply a touch of class.
Grandissimo video ragazzi!
Great content guys! Thank you for being a true inspiration not only for voleyball, but for life in general! Love the positive messaging and the advice coming from a very personal perspective. Keep it up!
Amazing story and story telling. What a comeback too!
That spike at 2:56 was INSANE!!! What an amazing whip of an arm swing and great set to put it in his window.
This is a great example of hunger and a plan being equally as or more important than experience. I am hiring employees for the first time next month.
This reminds me of an opportunity I didn't think I was ready for, but wanted so badly. The opportunity elevated me to another level and I set the bar for everyone after me. Thanks for sharing.
I think of all your short docs, this one was my favorite. The way you described that game where you finally got your shot, sounded like it came from an episode of Haikyu! But seriously, it was awesome. Being only 5’7”, I constantly look to competition and videos of yours for motivation, so thank you!!
These videos like these are amazing lately everytime I watch one it’s really changes my thoughts on volleyball. Keep it up
Your videos are a big inspiration for me. I am only 17 years old and i am pretty short, but i train very hard and my dream is to get on a big stage sometime... Thank you
Another great video from you guys. It's full of heart and encouragement. We need that kind of stories to remember to keep our heads up, especially in volleyball :) PS I convince my girlfriend to watch your's video without subtitles, and she loved it :)
Such great storytelling. Very exciting and involving - love hearing what is going on inside your head while facing these playing challenges. I think you need to write the long awaited sequel screenplay to 'Sideout'. Also loved watching that incredible rally. So good.
Oh man, you had me tearing up at the end. Great videos lately! Extremely helpful and motivating!
Fratello, in my opinion this is your best video!!! I'm so proud that I played with a such amazing and humble player and human being. Once again.... inspiring people. P.S. I'm also very happy that you explained the level of pressure around Italian volleyball
Woooooaaaah, that was an amazing story. Didn't know you were so good at setting my man.
Gave me goosebumps. Thanks man
Dont stop!! Its informative at best! You are underrated! 💯
Well its the truth!
Awesome video, guys. It‘s ridiculous how good your content has become, absolutely outstanding really. And the way you tell these stories is also top notch. Thank you for that, it really is an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
Wow. That play. Dang it
These videos make me want to start working hard and play volleyball again, I love it.
I love that you just saw a special player and just spam him the ball
What you said in the last part about experience, just made me realized that it is because one doesn't have the experience and that is why they are more susceptible to trying new stuff. Imagine having all the experience, and you only do things focused on the experience you gain, you'll keep telling yourself that things have to go a certain way and when someone questions you for your decisions you answer them "Oh I'm doing it like this because of my experience" >
Played against Larry Creus at National Spanish League when he got to Xativa. Dude was pretty much destroying every ball he got
Sweet video inspiring and really reminds me that those who grind it out relentlessly will always be rewarded. Bringing me back to a time in which on a much smaller scale I went through a similar time. Thanks for allowing for me to reminisce on good times!
So I’m a libero but this was really refreshing to see that shoes can be filled if you your hard enough 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
new mckibbin bro video, you know it’s gonna be a good day! i’ve got a scrimmage tonight and this will totally help me get ready!! 🥳
Because of your stories I believe in myself and fight for my place as a opposite!
Great video and even greater final quote. Always heartwarming hearing you talk italian and knowing we left smtng good in you. Ci becchiamo in giro prima o poi!
Inspirational story. I am in a very similar situation in college obviously not the same scale but I hope my season ends the same way. Love watching your stuff.
These last videos you're posting lately are definitely huges. This one particularly, for your story and the experience it left to you. NOTE: in this video there are the great Fefè De Giorgi, as your coach, the technical commentator Marco Galli (former Italian player, a De Giorgi companion in our national team) and Alessandro Antinelli (TV commentator) who is currently a TV commentator both in VB and BVB, and a BVB player (amateur), too. I follow you all on Twitter 😂😂😂
I love the way this story spun out! I started out frustrated and ended up very happy for you!
Love seeing your pro highlights. And holy shit could Creuse ever get around a block, that shoulder movement is insane
Amazing right! A lot of Argentinian middle blockers have that similar hook arm swing I noticed. Beautiful volleyball.
Very nice story telling. It reminded me of a level of emotions in sport I could only find on a VolleyBall playground.
I enjoyed the video :-)
You guys always rock and Riley, man you're just awesome can't explain how much i relate myself to your story. You guys are motivation to me like i said before. Hope you guys grow more and more and i pray to god for your good health. cheers Cent'anni 100 years
Loving the longer-form content. Super compelling.
im a middle, and when u said u could set the middles better, i got so hyped.
This is the best video i watched this year...
Ciao Riley!!
Bellissimo video ricco di storia!
Della tua parte di storia qui in Italia!😲
(Ti scrivo in italiano apposta !😉)
Vi seguo da un paio di mesi essendomi appasionato di Beach Volley i vostri video e format mi piacciono un sacco!
Un saluto da Torino 🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼♥️
That rally. WOW!
These stories are fantastic. Like Larry on a quick.
Ma meni je drago da ima Balkana
I am happy that theres balkan players playing for such a big team and i am proud about that
yes but - the opponent was not prepared - McKibbin would be the setter. So this is so a surprise! Which is hard to react to in a match. This is a good coaching tactic. And you served your teammates very nicely - it's so perfect!
That was some great storytelling. Good stuff!
I am obsessed with these. thank you for sharing these stories
I wish I was more like you. When I’m told I don’t have enough experience for MMA cuz I can’t help but agree. Experience is easily one of the best tools an athlete can have but it definitely shouldn’t be the end I’ll be all. Sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith. Even if it costs you a few points or even an entire match
Grande McKibbin, sei una macchina da guerra!
Very inspirational.
Loving these short stories about your life’s and careers! please keep em coming 🤙🏼
Great story
The paradox isn't real because what they say isn't what they mean. The no experience line is usually boss/coach lingo for "I don't think you're good enough". If you're lucky, you get a chance to prove them wrong.
I love you're volleyball stuff but these intimate story/lesson telling sessions are amazing. Keep it up. Still sad you guys didn't win Amazing Race. I was pulling for you. Damn King Cakes.
i don't know why volley ball players don't share with there journey with volley ball bih up man lot of love your videos
I KNEW I had heard the name Facundo Conte prior to seeing the Argentinian team play during the Olympics… took me until now to realise it was from this video haha
Mindblowing! Thanks for sharing this with the community! What a trip!
That last point where you guys were not giving up on the ball was such an incredible moment, i was moved
Great story! You've been lucky to have Fefè as a coach. Probably "you don't have enough experience" is a bit reductive to sum up the entire reasoning of the coach. Still, you kept training, earning that experience day by day, until the coach decided the time has come, and you made the best out of your chances. Well done mate!!
one of the things I enjoy about volleyball is how the points get reset to 0-0 at the end of a set. Sure the other team may have a whole set ahead of you, but there’s no way you’re going to let them have it easy to get that set and the next set off you. personally, I also find it easier to chase than to maintain a lead haha
I didn't know you played with my countryman Tine Urnaut, that's awsome :) Greetings from Slovenia
@@themckibbinbrothers Sweet! I'm a setter too and I had a similar experience when I was injured but still came in the game in the third set when we were losing. We won the game and advanced. Love you both, keep em coming :)
Love this. Keep the stories coming
Great storytelling!
Another Great story Rile! LOVED it. Aunty Jamie
Yes dude!
The world has yet to learn that those who lack experience simply need a chance to gain it.
WE LOVE LARRY TRAGIC BLOCKER TOP TEAR SCORER! Love the video man! Telling the story of how hunger can make you get what you want! Can wait to hear what’s next! Keep up the good work! ( ps y’all ever play grass or thought about it? Haha)
Wow. This was an amazing story. Please do more brother! we love it
Wtf its like I'm listening to a haikyuu story. I just wanna say you guys are so good at telling stories, like I legit got excited at the part when you said the coach gave you a nod. Wtffff it's like you are the main protagonist in an anime
The videos lately have been amazing! Gonna show them to my team when our season starts in two weeks!
My friend once had this experience in school. We have school football against other schools and my one friend wanted to join but my teacher told him "you aren't really good and experienced enough". I felt pretty bad for him (side note i didn't participate because i just didn't want to) and he wasn't even considered a main sub. My friend has a really powerful shot and anyone not used to playing football gets intimidated by its speed and he usually scores 5-7 goals in breaktimes. I've never had this experience myself but i felt pretty bad but i can guess why my teacher said so and when someone who doesn't even play football but is athelticly talented gets a spot on the team (he has insane defense which is why he got on) it must hurt. I can understand why my teacher said so though
1. My friend is kind of a hothead who lets things get to him easily (he litterally said if he got knocked over by a person, next chance he got he would floor him) which is a dumb mindset.
2. He is too arrogant. Many of the players on the team are arrogant but my friend has the "carry" mindset and goes for solo plays more than optimal passing
3. His lack of overall skill. The only thing about my friend is that he has a powerful shot and can dribble a little but he isn't good at passing which often leads to steals and that powerful shot is most of the time a 40% hit rate. He hits very hard but he can't really control it.
Still in a team game its fine to put him in since there are others on the court. When he fails they back him up. Thats the one thing my teacher didn't take into consideration and honestly i think he should have let my friend play rather than go for the "he has talent to do so but just needs more training" rather than go for someone who wants to win more than others do
Absolutely love this video
Amazing story
this gave me tingles! killing it
