Lol. Can tell Volkov is so up beat...no dull moment around him

It would be nice if America had its own volleyball league. I think it will definitely help raise the market value of this sport.

Eric to Volkov: “Are you gonna sleep on the flight” Volkov: “🇷🇺No, I am on fire🇷🇺” Much love from Canada Eric! You are inspiring me every day to be the best I can be. I hope to be a professional libero one day.

its funny how normal they all look but when they wall through a door you suddenly realize how huge they actually are😂

This dude gunna go down with in history as putting the US on volleyball

how does volkov manage to act like such a thug and such a sweetie at the same time

I think everyone can agree with me when I say that Erik looked cute with his beanie.❤️

10:55 "sorry for my english" noooo I love your accent!!!!!

I can't imagine playing a high level game after travelling in that freezing weather. You guys are amazing. The view is beautiful as well.

Perfect Erik ... could not ask for a better vlog, from an athlete's POV. This is going to inspire new players.

Volkov seems to be so funny 😂 and his english is very good! Nice to see that you have such great teammates, Erik.

Your teammates tried their best with English 😭😭😭. It’s interesting tho, how do you communicate with them? Are you using a translator or do you guys talk to each other on basic English/ Russian? И спасибо за видео!

Seriously, this is an incredible video. I mean, the unique insight and window we get from this into a world we normally never see, and explained to us in English as well... If you think about it, this is a video that pretty much ONLY Erik Shoji could make. And he did. Thanks for this. Super awesome and fascinating to see. Would LOVE to see something like this again when you’re back with Team USA.

I cracked up when you started interviewing him "what's your name?" hahahahahah

Wow! Dmitry Volkov & your other mates are really very friendly. goodluck to your club.

we love the US team and you, we should have one professional league in US

its always fun to see all these professional and sensational volleyball players just casually having fun around their teammates

All smiles while watching this video, I learned a lot. You're very hardworking person. I wanna be like you someday, not just in volleyball, but in everyday life. You live your life to the fullest. Stay safe & healthy, Erik! Go get the championship!!! 😇

I used to think that Dima was a nasty person when he plays VB VS USA. Maybe because of his intensity and how he shows his emotions. But he looks so much fun and relaxed in your video. I am now a fan ☺️

I didn’t know my favorite player had a channel this is amazing

Wow! Dmitry Volkov is really nice. I think he is a good dancer too. & he gave you the name Zulig. What an interesting name. Enjoy

Erik!! You’re a legend! Great content!

This was so fun to see Eric!

Really fun to see your journey in volleyball !! Hope everything goes amazing !!

Thanks for sharing! This is really cool to see. Good job on the video too!

This KZfaq channel is a damn blessing

PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE!! I love getting to see the other members of your team💖

Love your friendship with Volkov ❤️ really enjoyed the vlog

This is so refreshing to watch... I hope you'll make more travel and daily activity vlog 🙂

i like this type of videos, the interactions with other players

its good to know what most professional VB players have to go through, really great advices given too regarding contract choosing. this video definitely helps to educate or even guide people who wants to be a serious pro VB player. thanks Shoji!

That was a fun video, thanks Erik! Would love to hear more about the contracts and other behind the scene stuff, like how do brand promotions come about, how do the teams monitor and improve the players’ health, how do teams decide on game strategies, do teams watch the playback together after every game and discuss improvements, who does the laundry etc. 😆

so nice watching your videos every damn time! keep it up erik

Definitely, It was a really interesting video. Thanks for this vlog. And I will wait new video vlogs )

Beauty insight of what it is like to play professional.

Wow good stuff erik really enjoyed it, the songs im in background are a bomb, so keep up the work

Interesting Vlog. Would love to see more videos like this or some Instagram story about your day. Greetings from Germany. Keep going Buddy! 😃

Man those travels must take some toll on you guys. I mean, it's like flying from Athens to London and back every time before a home game. I was just thinking, if you were competing in a CEV competition and had midweek international games, would that even be possible? You should be actually living on a plane the whole time! I'm gonna be a bit forward here and ask (you don't have to answer if you don't want to): Is the money THAT better in Russia than in the rest of Europe as it is rumoured? Does it make it worth it? Would you see yourself playing in a country like Greece in the future? As always, great videos, keep it up and good luck with everything!

Hi Erik im a fan of ISA volleyball team!.! Hope you continue vlogging about life as volleyball player. Its really nice to watch player's persobality behind the scene match. Thank you and keep vlogging.

more travel vlog related to volleyball please

Love these types of videos! Keep it up!

Awesome video!! Happy to see a real life video like that in freezing temperatures (maybe not that part)lol. Keep up the good work!

YES mix up the content!!! This is so sick!!!

*Zulig* looks like he plays for the USA National Team

I think another content with you and Volkov would be fun to watch! 😊

Quality content, would love to see a lot more of these!!

I have ever thought to see a fun and cute Volkov like this though he is one of my fav Russian volleyball players :)) Hope to see another video like this one in the future. Take care sir ^^

Got to see you play and got to see a bit of Russia...nice☺️

Hi erik. Can u make a video talking abt ppl who are below 6ft tryna go pro? Any advice for them?

Good luck in your next games!!!

Wow this is just soo cool, you are living my dream :') Hope you enjoy it a lot :D

the vlog we all needed

great vlog erik!

Loved the vlog :)

I'm a libero, you're an inspiration to me. I hope one day to reach your level. Hug from Brazil !!

Dope content Erik! 🙏🏽👏🏽🔥❄️

Best of luck erik! Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

yasss we love a vlog! ❤️

I recently visited Oahu and the volleyball players were raving about you and what a legend you are.

They still have their Christmas Tree 🎄🎄❤️

So dope, do more vlogs pls!!! Plus they’re so tall lol

I think we’ve all been waiting for this vlog

Cant wait to see you in Zaksa next season

It was really cool to see a day in your life. I know that at the end of the day its a job, and definitely you put in a ton of work, but it also seems like fun! Even tho it would be cool if the U.S. had a professional league for men's volleyball, it's nice how multicultural it is, at least in my eyes since I've never been able to travel outside of the US

Miss you playing!! No. 1 fan from Philippines. 🥰🥰

I'm living for Volkov energy lol

I like this kind of video. 🤓More of these please!

Finally a vlog of yours, loved it :) And I loved how intensely you guys practice. Do a collab with volkov if you want or can.

Love your videos!

Great video, thx for sharing!

Your content is literally the best!!! Are you looking for an assistant by chance??? 😂😂😂

More of this kind of vlogs!!! :)

Peace Erik. ✌️ The views from your hotel incredible ❤️.

Hello! I like watching this video! At least we get to see what's in a day of a Pro VB Player. ;) Goodluck on all your games, Shoji! Stay safe and healthy, can't wait to watch one of your games live soon. Shout out from the Philippines! 🇵🇭

You are my inspiration!

Love your videos btw🏐🏐

From one Hawaii boy to another, great video! Loved the glimpse into your day; would love to see more of these kinds of vids. Also, if I didn’t already know you are from Hawaii, I’d have figured it out based on the number of food shots in your video. 🌈😉🌺 Aloha pumehana.

Dima is so wholesome :) :)

you are literally my biggest volleyball inspiration, even though i'm not a libero lol

Love this video❤️

High production value vlog, good job.
