So I apologize again. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't intend to do that. I am so sorry. But I'm glad that you guys are back here. If you have any questions, we can do a quick Q&A. So yes. No, it's okay Mama Steve. It is okay. Like I said before in the first live stream, I make mistakes all the time. Nobody's perfect but it's when you come and you rectify those mistakes. That's what counts. Right? That's what counts. So these giveaway bags were awesome. They were awesome this time. Yeah, it is totally okay Mama Steve. So yeah. Any volleyball questions or questions about Coach Coco? I'm a middle blocker for a club in middle school. Which position are you? So when I was in high school and when I was in college and I played club in college, I played... hold on one second. I played middle. Um, middle now is not... I still play middle. No, Mama Steve, you're okay. I played middle for a long time but I like outside more because I like to hit. I like to swing. I like to swing on it. So I like to swing. So I enjoy playing outside quite a bit. I'm a setter. Oh, jail rules. I've been working on my setting for quite a while. Have you seen me set? Now, I got a really good compliment one time and this guy told me my hands are like butter or they're like I have surgeon hands because I can set really well. Position for a short girl probably somewhere in the back row and try liberal but don't let that stop you. I've seen some girls who hit really well from the front in the short. Yes, I have a question. I'm pretty okay with volleyball and I'm learning to get better at the session. However, what do you do if the ball never comes your way? Is that because you're playing and they're not hitting it to you or is that in practice? Oh, you love being a middle hitter? Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of quick movements and stuff like that. Yeah, that's fun. Middle, it's definitely fun. What do you bring for volleyball tryout? I have a video on that. You should try out. You should try it. It's 18 things you need for volleyball tryouts. Are you an outside hitter in our life? I made a failure for you. I'm not saying off. Yay, send me a letter. 5-7. So I set and I'm a right here. Oh, you're lefty. You know what? In a perfect world, cocoa would be ambidextrous. I would just go for the swing like going to go right, go left. That would be cool. Ooh, if I could do that, that would be awesome. What should I do if I make libero? So are you asking like how to play liberos or the libero? Would you like me to briefly go over all the positions and their specialties? Give me a thumbs up, because I could do a brief, a really brief, really, really brief version of the specialties and the positions. Would you guys like that? Yes, yes, yes. Should I get paper and do this? I have a white board, but I don't know where it is. Okay. Very quickly. Are we paying attention? Are we ready? Okay. I think I have a paper. Okay. Let's get this paper out. Okay. Okay. Briefly. Okay. This is the net. Okay. I'm going to label it net. Okay. Now. Okay. So I'm not going to do this because it's going to be backwards. The outside position. Does everybody know what outside is? Give me a thumbs up if you know what outside is. An outside hitter, which is left front. Left front is the outside. The outside hitter is usually the strongest hitter on the team. And let me tell you why. The outside hitter is usually the strongest hitter on the team because it is easy for the setter to set outside quicker and easier because it's just a natural setting position. So the outside usually has better power hits. They can hit angle across the court. Angle across the court is, if you're hitting this way, hitting angle across the court, they have a better version of, they have a better way of seeing the court. So outside hits them all a lot more. In the middle front, these are all base positions. Base means just the home. The middle front, we have the middle blocker. Sometimes you call the middle hitter because, you know, we like to hit middle blocker. The middle blocker is the best blocker on the team. The middle blocker will transition and transition and open up and help block. Okay. They are really a defensive position. They do hit quicks a lot. They hit slides a lot. They hit a very lot, a lot of specialty hits. Okay. We have right side. Okay. Right side. Right sides are usually left-handed. They're usually left-handed. Why do you think they're left-handed? They're left-handed because they're approaching the court from this way and it's easier for a left-handed person to approach the court this way. Yeah. That's why they're right side. Okay. Hey Natalie, congratulations Natalie for winning. Congratulations. So, okay. So one more time. A slide is a play. We're going to talk about play soon. Okay. Left back. Left back. Left back is a passing position. Remember everybody rotates. Everybody in volleyball rotates. Everybody has their specialty in their job. Middle back are the libero. You heard how I said, I said or because not every person that plays middle back is the libero. Okay. The libero wears a different color jersey. It wears a different color jersey than the rest of the team to be able to distinguish her against the other team. Okay. So, middle back or the libero, usually the best passer on the team. They're able to receive a lot of balls. They're able to defend well. They're able to receive tips and coverage because they are quick. Okay. And they are able to maneuver around the court really, really well. Right back. Also a supplementary passing position. Any questions? Wait. And then setter. Setter always gets the second ball. The second ball. Okay. So the setter always gets the second ball because that's just the way volleyball is. The setter is a very, very, very important position. Usually setters are captains of teams. And that's just because in a game, there's a dynamic where the center kind of controls the flow of the game. So the second ball is the ball comes over. Somebody passes it. That ball is now the setters. So the only reason why wouldn't be the setter is if the setter calls help and she can't reach it. Okay. I think I'm going to do a back set video. What's your good position to put your hands into set? All right. Is everybody paying attention here? Okay. Now a lot of the time I see a lot of youth and a lot of young players who are new, who set like this? Who does this? Give me a thumbs up if you do this because this is really popular. They do this. You see your hands, see my hands are flat and they go just like this. It's okay if you do that. That's okay. Just like this. Now remember when we're setting ball shaped, ball shaped, ball shaped. Do you see my hands? Now it's easy. Okay. So back in the day, we used to do window and then open up. We used to do that. Okay. But volleyball changes often. Have you guys noticed that volleyball changes a lot? So if you still want to do window and then open, remember we're not doing window, we're keeping it here. We're opening up like your hands around the ball. So I'm going to use the giveaway ball for example. Do you see how my hands are shaping around this ball? The ball's not flat. Just like that. I'm letting you guys have to go to bed. So this is a quick one. This is a really quick one. Yeah, it's time for me to go to bed. Now that we have a little mini Q&A, the next live stream will possibly be Friday and it will probably be a live stream of me playing. Can you give some advice, please? I really need a person who, okay. What do you want to do? You have no pain. Bye-bye, Mama Steve. What can I do if I don't have anywhere to practice volleyball in the winter? Okay. Look at your local recreational center. Look at a YMCA. Look at the YWCA. Look at private coaching. Look at parks and recreation. I would really talk to your parents about helping you find volleyball. It's out there. Believe me. It's out there. It is out there. You just got to, you got to really look and find it. It's okay Payton. It is okay. Do you want me to tell you something that's inspirational? Michael Jordan did make his junior varsity basketball team when he was in school and he's one of the greatest basketball players in the world. He's missed over a thousand shots in his career and he's still the greatest basketball player in the world. Okay. Okay. You're four of them are fast. Okay. So what is it? First let me ask this like a rain drop. What do you want to play? Because you ultimately, you have to decide what you want to play and what you want to do. Don't let anybody decide that for you. Don't let anybody discourage you from telling you what position that you want to do. I see your question, King Soprano. Don't let anybody tell you or discourage. Find out what you want to do and then find out ways to make that happen. Let me see King Soprano's question. Okay. Once a good time to volunteer the volleyball team any time you want through. I started in 10th grade and it was terrible. I was baby coca. It wasn't no good, but you know what? I practiced hard and I got to where I am now. Bye bye Peyton. So we're about to go now. I'm about to go to bed too guys, but I just want to thank you guys for coming to my update. Thank you for allowing me to rectify the situation. So now I have all of the winners.
