  • @sdepountis
    @sdepountis 3 года назад +20

    This is kind of a general question but I always wanted to ask this:
    You and your teammates are accomplished, high-standard athletes and the best the country has in volleyball. What type of practice benefits players in your level? I mean, when I was playing I was a regional 2nd division setter, which means improvement possibilities were vast. Plus we were amateurs, which meant we had daytime jobs etc. So we had to practice to keep up individually with ourselves. But for athletes in your level? OK I get that you must have body conditioning in order to keep up with the demanding schedule. But what about technique? Is there THAT much room for improvement? Is it REALLY that hard to keep your level of play once you 're up there? I mean, you already KNOW this stuff.... Or do practice sessions (both club and national team) focus mainly on tactics and teamwork? I hope you do not find my question too naive (we do hear that you must practice constantly), but I really want to hear that from an accomplished athlete perspective. Maybe you could do a video on that as well at some point. Greetings from Athens, Greece.

    • @ErikShojivolleyball
      @ErikShojivolleyball  3 года назад +7

      that’s a great question! I think there is always room for improvement but sometimes it is hard to make changes as we get older. BUT, we are constantly working on technique, tactics, systems, and team play in order to try and be our best in the matches! the practice never ends no matter where you are. it’s part of the fun!

    Now I know you said you probably wouldn’t react to your own highlight reel again but, hear me out, what if you got your USA teammates’ reactions on your highlight reel? Specifically the one on the Titans Volleyball channel where they call you the Flash Libero, I thought it was pretty epic 😁😬 it’s only fair right?
