Yeah but he doesn't seem to be a genius coach

@@Klickflip You have to consider the language barrier. If he spoke French then he would be able to express himself more.

there is a language barrier you see he struggled with some words in english but he still pointed out the bad attempts@@Klickflip

seems like it

Taking the ball on the outside of your body allows you to move your platform much more easily

It‘s Grebennikov‘s reception philosophy. He‘s more comfortable with taking the serve on his side than frontal. Many coaches also prefer overhead reception on floats.

dustin has said this in one of his videoes, but passing outside midline allows for more area on your platform which is good since a float serve is meant to float and change trajectory

Floats tend to swerve around so you need a flexible platform that you can move even in the last moment. When you reveive in front of your body, all the up-and-down movement is controlled through quick footwork (moving forward and backward). This is pretty ineffective if you need to change position in the last moments when the ball has already crossed the net. If you keep your platform on the side you can move it up and down or even left and right easier and faster. Even forward and backward.

I think it's more useful in men's games. My theory is that he wants to push the ball to get a faster offense and also to put the ball tighter to the net. In men's games, the setter has a lot more options to attack the ball or run a really fast offense if the ball is tight.
