I know This wasn't like this a couple years ago. Well, you know cuz I didn't I was middle blocker So I didn't serve why they are just there are sick you out. Yes. I was stepped out for the libero So I'm into your channel when I started playing I started playing in 10th grade. So this year actually I think this makes 10 years for me She's old. I'm older now But you know what 25 is the new 15? so You know Yeah, 25 15. I'm waiting for the games to finish. Are the tournaments for the public? No, you have to register for the tournament I have a tournament tomorrow. Actually, that's why I'm thinking I probably should not play Recreational after this because I don't want to be like too messed up like sore for tomorrow because tomorrow Are you guys ready to hear this thumbs up if you're ready to hear this because? This is gonna be crazy Give me a thumbs up. Are you ready for this tear because I'm gonna tell you tomorrow. I'm playing in a tournament Oh, okay. Are you ready to hear what position I'm about to play? I'm gonna be the libero tomorrow You know, but am I a libero though? I mean strategically. I know where to be. I know how to get there everywhere. I know I'm gonna take. Oh, yeah, I'm the libero y'all. Mm-hmm But you know what I'm gonna be one of those those back row hitting everything liberos. They're like, dang She got everything. I'm gonna be everywhere Everywhere Gonna melt what position is the most comfortable for me. I Have become a lot more comfortable in every position The most uncomfortable position for me is probably libero I'm not a libero. I Know how to teach liberos and train liberos what I consider myself one not really It's kind of like this if you know how to set like I know how to set but do I consider myself a sadder? No I'm an outside hitter. So I would say most comfortable is on the net defense So probably defensive specialist on the net. So he's world Hi, Izzy. I Do hit right side Caroline. I like to hit. Oh, okay. I like to hit slides. I Like to hit slide a lot like a lot a lot a lot a lot. Okay. Where's this game over because? Okay, cuz I'm ready there. I'm ready play I'm gonna play one game and then I gotta go home because you know, we got mama bear waiting there And she's gonna get bored eventually Well, she's ready magazines. Do you have any advice for shoulder pain other than ice? I do so if you're having it depends on what scale that your Your shoulder pain is make sure that you are hydrated if you are having severe shoulder pain You really need to go and see a doctor one of the things that I like to do is I like to get those thermic air patches that are warm and get some heat But also bio freeze or icy hot works really well Miles, okay, bio freeze and ice your hot works really well. You like chiropractors. Do you are they over? No, it's not over. Oh, Leah Thanks, Christian. Hey Christian bio girl. I love bio freeze time you put the bio freeze on your shoulders just ice You like defense. Oh snap Hey Dylan, so you're just starting volleyball. The best thing to do is honestly just start I know that it's really nerve-wracking especially KT tape to I know that it's really nerve-wracking when you just starting out because sometimes When you get into a it depends on what age you are When you get into Volleyball sometimes you get into a place where people are more skilled than you are and you will feel kind of like I'm out of place And I kind of similarly was there just remember that don't compare your journey to anybody else's journey You have your own path. You have your own success. Yeah, uh-huh. Okay, so guys This is what's really encouraging to me about cocoa volley over here So when I started playing volleyball, I was also in tenth grade now These girls have been playing since they were 10 11. They have been playing club for so long And so I came in I felt so out of place like I can't go to college I can't play in college because these girls have been playing for 10 years. I'm 15 and I haven't started. Well, look at her y'all She's she's doing it. And so it doesn't matter what age you're starting just play Consistently and keep playing. Yes, and I think there's a common misconception that college is the only option It's not the only option After college a lot of players will go and play internationally or a lot of them will stop playing So just because you graduate college and you play college, there's still so many options There's tournaments. I play all the time and you guys see me play all the time. So That was their first game. Oh, I'm about to go. Oh Yeah, no, I'm about to go home. Mm-hmm. How do you play KT take? That's a great video idea You're about six four like two thirty and very inexperienced. Okay, Dylan So the best thing to do is how old are you? Are there recreational leagues in your area? Thank You Izzy Any advice to be in a libero you really need to start training on your agility because liberos are everywhere Every you need to do cardio. You're a senior in high school. Okay, that's not too late So what I would do is I will find some recreational leagues near you I would also look for hold on I would also look maybe for a private coach to kind of coach you in that area. It depends on what your goal Are you trying to go and play college? Thank You Colleen. Look how good my puff looks today guys. Jesus Thank You Zoe's world. Thanks Dory. I Hope you guys really like my channel. I really spent a lot of time Trying to make it the best that it can be because I really care about you guys.

Okay, so I used to be really really nervous like are you leaving are you gonna leave? Are you leaving? I'm trying to see how bored she gets when she starts looking up. I know she's ready to go I used to be really nervous and one of the things that really helped me was getting more experience And you have to push through those nerves and learning that I can't compare myself to others because I used to compare myself To others and I used to say, you know, I Used to say a face. I used to say, you know, she's gonna she's going further than I am She's more advanced than I am. Why is she getting this and I'm not getting this I'm working just as hard and I realize that envy is the destroyer of all things. You cannot be envious I'm gonna go to high school next year. So libera. Okay. Can you make it feel a little better training? I've been a little over for three years anymore advanced training ideas. That's a great idea Jeremiah. Thanks Christian So the reason why I haven't had many like training videos lately is because I've had I've been looking for someplace to you know play inside so We've got some good things coming so you guys be patient with me.

Yeah, I'm a coach and I'm a player I've been playing a long long time I've been coaching about three years and I really want to grow in my coaching and grow in my playing so My favorite videos to film are volleyball blogs because I want to inspire you guys to continue playing throughout life And show you guys that you can grow even with age So my ultimate goal I would love to be able to like travel around like and you know Go play different tournaments and you guys watch that and then also teach you guys how to be better players because there's so much to learn about volleyball and I have more to learn and you guys have more to learn. We're gonna learn together. I Coach any age. I have adult clients. I have high school and middle school. So if you live in North Carolina Or South Carolina, I can coach you What if I don't do club I put my friends and family that's fine, too. Volleyball can be played by anyone It doesn't have to be Completely like I play high school. I play college. Okay, you can play anything. It's a recreational game and you can play For fun. I play for fun. I'm hoping to play for fun in a minute. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, Julia Charlotte How to be a better but a libero I would start working on agility training So I do have some more bear videos that will be coming up on how to get you know better access some ability For your agility. I'm some speak and stuff like that. Hi, Jeremy Malaysia Yeah, how does your serve? Yeah, what position do you play? Where's my middle school? I play outside hitter What's the hardest thing about volleyball? Honestly, I think for beginners it's rotation Rotation because first you're thinking about how to complete a complete an action at the same time as moving around other people Snap the wrist that means that if I hit the ball and I'm going like this it's going to go straight out I want to make sure to snap my wrist so it goes downward when I'm spiking the ball Um, how is it to play volleyball at high school and what's the difficulty stress level? It depends on what high school you went to I went to an all-star high school where it was uh, It was a bit stressful. That's because our team was you know, number one in our city And we were 33 in the state out of 400 something. So we I used to live in pa caroline Hey, texas Yeah rotations are a little bit difficult. They are they are hard to grasp. I couldn't say that Middle work on your agility. I'm five foot nine. Hey christian What's the furthest you would coach your greensboro if I could get a couple of people If you could get or we could get a couple of people. I would come and do clinic in greensboro Someone was making volleyball to uh, Oh, yeah, every don't let people mess up your game. Did you know what volleyball is? Griffith tk Hey freshman hitter Okay Mama bear, okay My real name is actually not cocoa, but um, we're gonna go with cocoa Okay, let's go guys Let's see what camera angle is better I think the other camera angle is better.

Did somebody send a super chat? What was it? Let me see. Let me scroll back I'm missing it. Let's tk Hey guys can tell you ponies sometimes Players who are experienced passers will not wear knee pads because knee pads are more of a they are safe They're safer. They prevent your knees from getting hurt However, a lot of older players and sometimes you'll see people Internationally not wear knee pads because they have learned how to properly dive So they no longer need knee pads because they know how to properly protect themselves when diving So a lot of beginners wear knee pads because they do not know how to do that yet Therefore they dive more therefore they hurt themselves more.
