 So today I heard the request that you guys want to learn how to pancake. It's something that is used for last resort. You shouldn't be pancakeing just the pancake to the pool, okay? In my volleyball career, I have probably had maybe five or six successful pancakes. The success rate of pancakes is about 20%, okay? Which means 80% of the time you won't get it. I still encourage you to try. So today I'm going to show you how I personally pancake and which way will keep your knees from getting banged up. So if you like this video, please like, comment, subscribe, and let's get on to the video. The pancake, the first step is you're going to start in your platform, then you're going to slowly extend with one leg extended, and then you're going to outreach one arm. Now I suggest you start doing this slow. All right, let's break it down. Step one, start in the ready position. Start it with your platform extended. Step two, start to lean forward and bring your leg out slowly as you lean forward to touch the ground. Step three, fully extend all the way out on the ground and start to outreach your dominant hitting hand. Step four, your pancake is complete. But first let's talk about burnt pancakes. This is what you don't do. No. Don't flop to the ground. No. Don't roll over. No. We're going to learn how to do the basic pancake. Now the first thing I want you to notice in this slow mo is my leg pushing out. I'm dipping down low and I'm still going to keep my platform and I'm going to push off. You're going to slide a little bit. Now remember the pancake should be used to catch far away balls that are not reachable in your immediate area. Now this is how I do my pancake. I'm a fuller chested girl and I like to come off to one side so my whole chest doesn't extend on the ground at the same time, hence the leg popping up. Let's watch it again. Also from this angle, my chest doesn't hit the ground hard and cause some bruising. Leg pop up. So what you're going to do is one more time, you're going to start, step forward and extend. Now I really hope you like this short and easy pancake tutorial and it's helpful for you. See you guys next time.
