Thanks erik for inviting matt anderson, I admire and love his game. But a killer cannot shine without an excellent reception and defense as you do your erik, you are a fantastic libero!! Greetings from a Peruvian fan who wants to be a great libero like you 💪♥️
wow, it only took 5 minutes into the video and I’ve already developed a crush on Matt. What a humble, calm and collected person. Matt gives off such serene vibes that I wanna go fishing by the misty lake at sunrise with a cup of coffee in my hand hahaha Erik, good to see you happy, rocking your trademark positivity, that dig on Leon was great! 👌
Hey Erik, loving all the videos and content. Big ups for uploading a long video and letting us really soak it in. If I may make one suggestion: When your guest is talking about something, try to hold your comments or commentary on the game if you're gonna let it keep rolling. It's quite distracting trying to listen to Matt make a point while hearing you talk about the live action. Maybe you can let it roll but then pause if you have something to say, so that Matt can finish his point and then you jump straight into the next point. But all in all these videos are awesome and keep up the great work!!
I think what plays into this is that erik probably knows (or has heard) most of the things matt says. However for me and i think a lot of viewers matt's stories where pretty damn interesting
@@thtrain I totally agree. My comment is purely from a viewer who is interested in volleyball point of view. I wouldn't mind watching Erik doing an interview with his teammates either, but if it's a game breakdown I'd prefer to just hear the breakdown and tips etc
After watching Matt play for so many years, it was great to hear his voice and knowledge and background! Love your channel Erik! A delight for this long-time volleyball fan, and I might add long time Stanford Men’s volleyball fan as well!
Omggg erik, you're such a kind person. I mean it. Last guest was micah christenson and now MATT ANDERSON. THANK YOUU ERIK for bring matt to this video. Btw you guys are really cute watching your own match together.
Thank you Erik to bring Matt and talk about the game. I just realized the talk with all the members of team USA that have been invited to this channel seem more comfortable/relax (than normal intv), because they know you and you are also part of the game. What i mean is, it’s good videos so far, and I’m loving it!
It’s amazing to see how the guys in the team are actually smart. The guys I played with don’t have that mentality or know nothing close ... and that’s just by watching a reaction to 15 mins of a game. That’s saying something, about both
wow so we finally meeting all our favorite stars in personal now and getting to know them better as a person. all thanks to you erik. first sander, then christenson and now anderson. anderson is my personal favorite 😍😍
Hey Erik and also Matt. It’s great to see you guys from Team USA talked about your club/professional career. Erik has been talking about it quite a few times but Matt isn’t talking much about it ;-) that’s why it’s great when we have this video right here (Matt talked about Max and Leon, for example). Good luck for your next endeavour in your next clubs, Erik and Matt :-)
I love the "This or that" part, it's always good to get to know more about you guys. I hope you can ask someone to ask YOU some questions too, so you can also participate in the "This or that" segment ❤️ We want to know more about you, too, Erik :)
Loving getting access behind the scenes with the USA guys. Would have really liked to hear more from Matt regarding the early years at Penn State and how he ended up on the pins.
I can't believe how Matt purely said what kind of a monster Leon is and how good of a player Juantorena, Leal, Zaytsev, Grozer , and Sokolov are. I mean Matt you are a freak yourself!!!. 💪💪 Man he made me love 😍 him even more for his humbleness and respect for others.
Honestly Matt needs to have a podcast or sum cuz he’s dropped some important gems in this “episode” and we’re all for it. At one point I was just like “please shut the audio of the video so I can hear him”. Overall, that was amazing and there’s plenty to learn from him obviously. P.S.: When u bring Ben Patch can he blow a kiss to the camera? It’s for a friend lol
My Idol Matthew Anderson the "SUPERMAN" of team USA, I have already finish watching all your matches, FIVB VNL and Olympics... Love love from the Philippines
Thank you Erik, wow I've requested this one last week in your Micah segment. Now, I can't believe it, thank you, thank you. I love Matt and the whole US volleyball mens team.
One of the things I appreciate about your content is the technical know how that you share so generously. Great job! Keep on educating volleyball fans like myself. Plus of course it helps that you have good looking team mates. May I request for Thomas Jaeschke? Please.
Really neat to hear from Matt! Esp about working hard and putting in time to get better at the highest level! Or any level & position for that matter! and I really liked the conversation around redefining what "perfection" is. excited to see Matt back in Italy! And daaang, those Kazan teams had some serious fire power! O__o seems like you guys could forever about them!
Nooo way, you actually got Matt on the channel! The moment I saw this vid was on I was the one throwing stuff. And the knowledge is way insightfull! I really appreciate you actually asking the block question too
I had no idea Marouf played for Kazan at one point in his pro career. So cool to know! Also, great insight from you guys regarding serve-pass at your level of play.
So amazing to hear from Matt! He is chill, kinda like Taylor Sander. Super super thank you Erik for having him 😄 Also, best of luck to him in Perugia. It's gonna be like Zenit Kazan hopefully with Leon.
I am a setter and not a good one but i always aspired to be a hitter just like you Mr. Anderson. Thanks Erik for this. Always keep inspiring us. Keep safe to both of you and to the rest of Team USA. #1
Love it!! So insightful :) I think however it would be good to pause the video for a little moment when asking him personal questions so that he can finish his answer, and then press play again and get back to the match! Excited for the next one :)
Matt looks like your classmate's big brother whom you wouldn't want to mess up with. 😂😂 goodluck and God bless your team in the upcoming vnl. 👌👌 -so much ❤ from phils
I’ve just realized that Anderson really looks like Henry Cavill 😂😂😂 (the superman and the witcher guy)
Yassss he is 😂
I was about to say!! I agree with you.
He was superman for Halloween
I thought that also 😂
👍
Matt is really a great player. Whenever he jump & hit the ball at opposite, he looks amazing. Thanks Erik for guesting Matt.
Love how Matt just stared into our soul the whole time
Matt looks small sitting down. Is he 70-80% legs? 😆
I loved how Matt treated Tomohiro Yamamoto as he was part of team USA. Matt is just a good human being who happens to play really good volleyball
Thanks erik for inviting matt anderson, I admire and love his game. But a killer cannot shine without an excellent reception and defense as you do your erik, you are a fantastic libero!! Greetings from a Peruvian fan who wants to be a great libero like you 💪♥️
Matt hasn't aged at all. He looks exactly the same since Penn State days, just gained MUSCLESSSS!
Matt voice is so manly and deep ❤️
matt is definitely a veteran, so much knowledge from this legendary player!
wow, it only took 5 minutes into the video and I’ve already developed a crush on Matt. What a humble, calm and collected person. Matt gives off such serene vibes that I wanna go fishing by the misty lake at sunrise with a cup of coffee in my hand hahaha
Erik, good to see you happy, rocking your trademark positivity, that dig on Leon was great! 👌
This is so crazy being able to see Team USA players on RUclips with you Mr. Shoji!!! Thank you for these super fun videos!! 😆

Matt looks like he was the president of a fraternity. He has that leadership quality and is super good looking as well.

I really love matt, im addicted to watch all his games.😍😘
Love the calm friendliness 💗💕 Matt gets WORKED by media/journalists so it's nice to see him field questions that aren't intrusive or thoughtless
Omggg erik, you're such a kind person. I mean it. Last guest was micah christenson and now MATT ANDERSON. THANK YOUU ERIK for bring matt to this video. Btw you guys are really cute watching your own match together.
Glad to hear Stanford is keeping the men’s volleyball team and all the other sports. You, Kawika and all the alumni must be thrilled. Mahalo braddah.

I've had the biggest crush on Mr Matt over here the first time I've ever saw him play and I still do 😂
It’s amazing to see how the guys in the team are actually smart. The guys I played with don’t have that mentality or know nothing close ... and that’s just by watching a reaction to 15 mins of a game. That’s saying something, about both
We definitely need a part 2, matt was just getting started and seems to have so many stories!!! So much wisdom.
wow so we finally meeting all our favorite stars in personal now and getting to know them better as a person. all thanks to you erik. first sander, then christenson and now anderson. anderson is my personal favorite 😍😍

I didn’t realized Henry Cavill plays volleyball.
Matt Anderson is one good lookin dude.
I love the "This or that" part, it's always good to get to know more about you guys. I hope you can ask someone to ask YOU some questions too, so you can also participate in the "This or that" segment ❤️ We want to know more about you, too, Erik :)
Loving getting access behind the scenes with the USA guys. Would have really liked to hear more from Matt regarding the early years at Penn State and how he ended up on the pins.
2 national team mates of USA are rivals here. Good match. And it's so good to see Leon and Anderson are in the same team.
I came to love volleyball because of Anderson. So perfectly handsome way back then and still is.
I can't believe how Matt purely said what kind of a monster Leon is and how good of a player Juantorena, Leal, Zaytsev, Grozer , and Sokolov are. I mean Matt you are a freak yourself!!!. 💪💪
Man he made me love 😍 him even more for his humbleness and respect for others.

Matt grew up a block away from me and rn I’m playing club volleyball with his nephew.

Matt was talking about being recruited as a middle blocker but Erik interrupted and we never got back to it.
pretty boy but a MONSTER on the court
Matt’s style of playing is probably one of my favourites! So glad to see him on the channel
I love everything about these videos with the teammates!!
Matt’s a great guest on here, a really good analyser of the game and knowledgeable, I’d love to see him again! Definitely need to see Patch now!
One of the things I appreciate about your content is the technical know how that you share so generously. Great job! Keep on educating volleyball fans like myself. Plus of course it helps that you have good looking team mates. May I request for Thomas Jaeschke? Please.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Erik! Matt Anderson is such an amazing VB player for the USA. Go for gold in Tokyo USA ☺️
So great to hear Matt's insights together with Erik's on an awesome game!
Really neat to hear from Matt! Esp about working hard and putting in time to get better at the highest level! Or any level & position for that matter! and I really liked the conversation around redefining what "perfection" is. excited to see Matt back in Italy!
And daaang, those Kazan teams had some serious fire power! O__o seems like you guys could forever about them!
He looks like SUPERMAN.

You should invite all your guests in one video and react to a team USA match. That would be fun to watch.
I’ve been waiting for this! Yas Matt!
I can't get over how good looking Matt Anderson is.
Yey! Thank you for keeping your promise to me, Erik Shoji! Hehe
