I recommend doing this in a larger area that has hard wood floor or a court lol and get a bit of a run start to give u speed and make u slide instead of just hitting the floor LOL, hope that maybe helped?
Man, this is awesome. This is why technology is great. I only had Volleyball Magazine instructional sections back in the day. Some ideas/suggestions for you would be to do videos on: 1. "Attacking the block" (1, 2, 3 blockers, reading the block, picking apart the block where it forms) 2. Or maybe for D emergency moves like the chicken wing 3. Or something like reading an arm swing on D. There's a lot of potential with these things. Great stuff man. Info made available like this is gonna help a lot of players.
+Elevate Yourself Word! Disciplines like defensive coverage, digging a hard driven ball, etc didn't get trickled down all that fast back in the day... I remembered back in the day (before plyometrics was a thing) my coach used to say, "If you want to jump higher, jump more!" We had minimal instruction back in the day since we counted on vets to help.
Try not touch the floor if ur hands are sweaty it might injure u so just pancake mid air and after u touch the ball then protect ur body with ur hand and slide with ur clothes that's how I do it when I'm used to be a libero
I love your videos! Definitely great stuff! I've learned a ton since I discovered your channel. One video I'd like to see would be one on how to warm up and stretch before a game.
Hello coach Donny! Thanks for the videos they've helped me quiet a bit. I have a request, can you do a tutorial on "dolphin dive" dig (like a legit dive in the air kinda thing)? I'm a libero and I have a pretty good reflex, but whenever I dive for a ball I'd always hurt myself landing. Thanks alot!!
I haven't been played for 2months because I have to move to another town for studying and I miss volleyball and my friends, the last time I played was when we had a liga in our province last December 2021. And damn, I forgot how to spike serve so I don't have a choice but to do underhand serve😭 I also forgot how to pancake, and dive and when I did I only got bruises, so I'm watching your videos a lot so that I can at least remember and learn it again. I MISS PLAYING VOLLEYBALL SO DAMN MUCH.
Wow thanks Coach Donny! Really useful and detailed videos! Could you do a video on the differnt positions and what their roles are and what kind of training would be useful to them?
I can only do the dolphin dive :( Learned it through a tutorial and when I learnt it last week, I was unsure ahout the landing until I randomly did it again yesterday and then I realized the solution and now it's so easy. Just need it as a reflex because sometimes I just do something so random like sliding on my knees (not even trying the dolphin dive, just trying to get to the ball asap). I need to retrain my habit but overall easy. Pancake is something I have struggled with though, I never watched a tutorial on it though, only learnt a bit at practice so I will try this in the morn (1AM rn) so yeah!! :) Thanks for the tutorial!!
It would be crazy if he just: 0:14 "for those of you who don't know what a pancake is, a pancake is an american breakfast food that is shaped like a circle, so the ingredients are butter flour, eggs, sometimes milk but you can do without it and of course the maple syrup, now let's move off the court to the kittchen to show you how it's done"
Do you have any advice for doing a pancake when you are wet from sweat? I constantly hurt myself because I abruptly stop on the floor and cannot slide. And I am a great sweater... 🙄
i know im a year late but keeping your dominant arm which ur reaching the ball with of the floor as much as possible would help, and also long sleeve arm warmers might help too if you dont like long sleeve uniforms
Hello coach Donny, today I started practicing with my 14-16 coed volleyball team. In the past their have never been any boys in this league but this year there are three (myself included). The director was worried that the girls would be getting hit in the face of the boys were to hit too close. So he made a rule that all boys have to approach from behind the 10 foot line. I have never had to do this before and cannot seem to get the hang of it. I have a game in 2 weeks and feel that the drills they do their will not have me hitting by the first game. I was hoping you could make a video on how to successfully approach and hit from behind the line. I really enjoy your videos and keep up the good work!
How can I do a pancake or a dive without hurting my hipbone? I keep hurting my hipbone whenever i try to dive for the ball. I followed all the steps. It’s either I’m doing it wrong or maybe I’m just too skinny?
I have a question. I'm in 9th grade and I'm starting volleyball for the first time. I got motivated by watching haikyuu. Whenever I'm in a game and i see the ball coming i get too scared to move. How do I fix this?
Microsoft Anime Ninja You're gonna get used to that after a while. I play volleyball for 7 years now and I used to be scared of diving at first. After watching Haikyuu I give my all to jump after that ball no matter the cost :) so just do it and push yourself and you'll get over it
First remember that ur nishnoya and that Hoya always moves then just keep ur eyes on the ball n noya it btw I got in to volleyball bc of haikyuu too but I had experience
this is amazing now i understand. coach i have been watching videos now i watched what you send me but do you have videos that can help me jump higher?
My name is Shiran and im in grade 8th im not a libero but i could save my team from tip and wrong calls ty for much for the videos ! I would like to see more of those videos of How to..... Ty so much :D
Can we wear a compression belt to protect from back pain and disc trouble? Can you please recommend on it please please? I am actively playing now and hurt my back yesterday and wanted to check if I can without aggravating it.
Hey Donny, could you make a guide on how to join your outside hitter for a block as a MB? I keep worrying about hurting my outside hitter or myself and end up having slower lateral movements approaching them and leaving a gap between us on the block. Thanks.
+Itzak I agree , it´s something that the coach hasn´t spoken about yet , and I think a lot of people would like Donny to bring that aspect of the game to a tutorial video !
can you show how to dolphin dive? Thank you and also I learn a lot about how to dive and pancake to save a volleyball. Thank you I'm from Philippines by the away. Thank you hope you read this comment. Thank you
When I heard you explain what an actual pancake was I thought you were making a bit, then I remembered that you didnt have much of a sense of humour back then 🤣
Hello, I'm from Germany and I'm 17 years old, so sorry for my bad english skills. First your Videos are amazing and helpfull. Second I've an question: Does it work if I step with my left foot first and afer drop I play allready with my right hand (as a pankcake) or must I step with my right foot to pankcake with my right hand ?
Thanks For the coaching Coach Donny, I really wanna try pancake-ing in this instance. oh yeay 1 more thing, can you make maybe a formation or strategy used in volleyball as a team, it would help alot. Thanks Coach :D
im team libero and i always practicing to do a pancake...but i need a control to it but how?? can you help...because some time im make pancake and the ballmove wildly i cant control it..
Are knee pads necessary? I have dived for the ball quite a few times in tough games and always just focussed on keeping my knees off the ground but does this affect the technique or effectiveness at all?
Hi... so... I tried this, I have done exact thing as you did... but... I got hurt... On some places on my elbow my skin has been like rubbed and now it's all red... Um... How can I do this without getting hurt?
Best way is to get your body there with both arms first... Flipping your comment.. "The best way to pancake is when your trying to save a ball".. Pancakes should only be used for real emergency type defensive situations. You'll see some people overuse it because it looks cool, but very unnecessary at times

2:06 am i the only one who thinked youtube freezed down?

My team won the championship yesterday & I even get the best libero award thanks to your video...its very helpful
CONGRATS!!!
Congrats!!❤🎉 How is it going with volleyball now?
Bro how are you doing now?
I'm telling you, I've been practicing this on my kitchen floor we ain't sliding
i thought I was the only one
SAME and also in the place where i train we can't slide 😀
I've been practicing on my bedroom floor because my mums in the kitchen lol
I recommend doing this in a larger area that has hard wood floor or a court lol and get a bit of a run start to give u speed and make u slide instead of just hitting the floor LOL, hope that maybe helped?
It’s easier with one of those knee protectors (idk what their called) so your knee doesn’t just stop all the momentum you saved up
I lost it when he explained what a literal pancake is
For real 😂
This is the best tutorial i have ever seen!!Especialy for a libero, thank you!!
I don’t think that this is especialy helpful for a libero, because everybody is going to use this in the plays. Not just only the libero
Cathelijne Kuiper Yeah but libero’s pancake the most from experience
Every time the steps paused, I thought my computer was lagging ahahaha
6:03 everybody focusing on the pancake but did anyone see that sick shot?
it was so good i even had to slow mo lmao
I think it was awesome spike, my focus was only on that spike
Me
also coach could have dived to the ball for better control but he had to stop 😁
Finally had my first pancake that had a great bounce!! Thanks for taking my game to the next level.
nishinoya!!!!

Can you talk about the different formations? Like 5-1, 6-2, etc.
when i pancake, my hands get stuck onto the floor
Same! How do you pancake with sweaty hands, your hands get automatically stuck on the floor;-;
henryhoorray maybe try keeping it slightly in the air and “glide” it and only put it down at the last second. I have the same problem lol
A lot of us wipe our hands on the soles of our shoes haha
Try not touch the floor if ur hands are sweaty it might injure u so just pancake mid air and after u touch the ball then protect ur body with ur hand and slide with ur clothes that's how I do it when I'm used to be a libero
We usually put baby powder on our hand
anyone here got motivated after watching haikyu?
oml yes
I thought I was the only one and I'm actually pretty good I just need to to compare and that unlocked my true inner volleyball?

Donny I love your videos! I was so disappointed that we didn't get to play your team in our tournament last month (I'm from livermore high)!
love your tutorials man, keep it up:)
Thank you again for amazing video. This all is helping me becoming better libero.

Could you make a tutorial about how to footsave
I imagine doing this perfectly in my head but its so hard in real life.
6:04 THEM HOPS

I can only do the dolphin dive :(
Learned it through a tutorial and when I learnt it last week, I was unsure ahout the landing until I randomly did it again yesterday and then I realized the solution and now it's so easy.

sleeves

i know im a year late but keeping your dominant arm which ur reaching the ball with of the floor as much as possible would help, and also long sleeve arm warmers might help too if you dont like long sleeve uniforms
i was practicing this in my living room and my mom thought i was crazy😂

When do you dive or pancake ???
Can we wear a compression belt to protect from back pain and disc trouble? Can you please recommend on it please please? I am actively playing now and hurt my back yesterday and wanted to check if I can without aggravating it.

Hi coach!
What are roles of libero??
Thanks!
HAKI ELIJAH mainly to recieve a ball coming from other side of the net
Try to watch haikyuu!! So awsome~

+Itzak I agree , it´s something that the coach hasn´t spoken about yet , and I think a lot of people would like Donny to bring that aspect of the game to a tutorial video !

How do you get it so high

How can I overhand serve with 100% accuracy and direction? Also, how can I do a jump serve? I always jump ahead and sometimes too far.
+Hey Soultis , He has done some videos on these just gotta look through his videos. Hope this helps!
Man i wish my locals gym's floor were so smooth. Many a skinned hand trying to pancake.
How to pancake and slide in a not so smooth floor?
It's funny watching this like just look at him slide anyways thanks coach Don!
Are knee pads necessary? I have dived for the ball quite a few times in tough games and always just focussed on keeping my knees off the ground but does this affect the technique or effectiveness at all?
Yeah for the safety of your knee......
Hi... so... I tried this, I have done exact thing as you did... but... I got hurt... On some places on my elbow my skin has been like rubbed and now it's all red... Um... How can I do this without getting hurt?

VIDEO SUGGESTION: How to spike the ball harder?
+Elevate Yourself Thank you so much :)
6:01 anyone else here heard that dudes knees scrape? Ouch ;-;
So when your trying to save a ball, the best way is to pankake?

Pancakes should only be used for real emergency type defensive situations. You'll see some people overuse it because it looks cool, but very unnecessary at times

My hand or arms always get stuck on the floor when I try to do this.
