I love this breakdown and demo! Especially the emphasis on rotation, with chest and shoulders starting perpendicular to the net. I seem to see this rarely. I think that a difficulty with teaching how the whip-like transfer of energy travels up the body, from the trunk to the upper arm, then to the forearm, and thence to wrist is that a volleyball cannot be grabbed by most hands, and must be cradled and pushed with a stiff arm to keep it from rolling off the fingers. When loosening up before actually smacking a ball in warmup, I tried to find a smaller, rather soft ball of some kind to grab and throw at the net or the wall.
Well done! I like how you explain, break down the key points, and demonstrate the progression of both the skills and drills! One point to emphasize/include to this "hitting' video would be drawing in the non-hitting hand/arm into abdominal area which generates more power as the upper body pikes downward! Look forward to your future videos! Ming
Just used this drill with our 5th graders. Great way to introduce hitting!
Great coach move explain very ckearly and easly to follow thanks so much for this lesson much
