Whooo !

Thank you!

We miss it too and having you here!

Glad you ! What kinds of topics would you like to see covered for future videos?

We love to hear that! Watch our part 2 video coming out today on how to hit. More great tips!

@@betteratbeachvolleyball Fantastic! I can't wait and I already feel I am hitting better because of the last video. I made the squat motion to a full jump squat and turn upper body motion.

thank you!

grazie!

ha ha ha yup!

Better at Beach is it an issue that my deltoids are flexed when having my arm opened up? I can't seem to disengage them

Hey John! Thanks for the message. Unfortunately with our teespring partnership, we have no control of their inventory :( for that specific design we might just have to wait until they get more blanks in stock in your size.

A real fan!!! There are different versions! For many the thumb down works. but for some it makes them do inefficient things with their hands and arms. the difference is very slight and is usually depending on how you got your feet to the ball. Some sets call for a thumb down. some, all of your fingers should stay pointing up. The most important part is what side of the ball you make contact with.

@@betteratbeachvolleyball Thanks for the reply! I'm more indoor than beach, and not really beyond intermediate level. But I've preferred the left side, thumb down. It works pretty well as a cut shot. I may give the straight up technique to see if it provides different/better results. I really love your guy's channel and the instructionals you give. Especially when you take the same kind of drill, and show it with players of varying degrees of skill. Thank you, guys! Much love from the Motor City : )

hahahaha OOOHHH YEAAH

Why do u right hand hit if you're left handed

@@kyleruiz6196 I've been playing sports right-handed for a while. The only thing I've done left-handed before is archery.

We love to torture him! :)

Thank you so much for your input. We LOVE learning based questions. Please feel free to check one of the many studies in this exact area. Here is a great link. www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Motor-Learning-Principles-and-the-Superiority-of-in-Bain-McGown/30189ad67f91ef37fbb4d20b11ebccb0f2e2c91f It was surprising to us when we first started studying coaching and motor learning that progressions using part training actually slow down the learning process but since we can't ignore all of the science, we use whole training as much as possible. Here's an excerpt that might surprise you. “it is therefore surprising that despite its rich heritage and an overwhelming body of scientific literature, motor learning principles remain poorly understood and/or incorrectly applied by a large number of individuals in the coaching profession. An example of this incomplete understanding is exemplified by a recently published article in “Coaching Volleyball”, the official technical journal of the American Volleyball Coaches Association1. This article, “Whole vs. Part Training”, [4] seeks to encourage the reader, “to consider using part-to-whole training progressions in your gym and to make fundamental skills training a high priority for your program.” While we acknowledge that the author is entitled to share his opinion on the use of part teaching methods, we are compelled to observe that the material presented in this article, which advocates part-to-whole training progressions for volleyball, reflects neither the current knowledge in the field of motor learning research nor an informed application of the motor learning principles to development of skilled motor behaviors. Consequently, the novice coach or uninformed instructor might agree with the author’s statement that, “A teaching progression that starts with a narrowly-focused action without a lot of distractions (part), which is then progressed by adding more and more complexity to be almost gamelike (whole), makes too much sense to be ignored.” ****Regrettably, concluding and/or seeking to demonstrate that “part-to-whole training progressions” are a preferred instructional paradigm simply because such progressions appear to “make sense” ignores nearly a century of scientific evidence and volumes of published research that have conclusively demonstrated that part progressions have minimal transfer to the whole skill [2] and in a number of scientific studies part training methods have actually demonstrated negative transfer [5, 6]. Consequently, given the educational and technical nature of “Coaching Volleyball”, we believe that a comprehensive, evidence-based rebuttal of the thesis that, “part to whole progressions represents a viable teaching model” is required.”

Wow BaBV that is an amazing response, great link... Gave me a laugh to see someone try to dunk on you and you just calmly showed them where they're wrong😁
