Improve Spiking TIMING (part 1/2) - How to SPIKE a Volleyball Tutorial

what's up YouTube this is coach Donnie with elevate yourself org this video I'll be going over how to improve your spiking timing and this video was suggested by skis so thank you so much for this video suggestion there are many factors that go into timing of all the most important aspects you need to have persistent footwork and if you want to improve your spikelet phobics or make it consistent please watch this video up here so assuming you have consistent spiking footwork we're going to talk about when to leave and also how to adjust the different types of sets because the reality is you might have a great setter but in game situations your set might not be perfect all the time actually I would make an argument to save your spike will rarely be perfect maybe once or twice everything else you might have to adjust to a couple inches to a couple yards you always want to make yourself a little bit late and accelerate to the ball the worst that you can do for yourself is to go early and to run under the ball not only can you not see where the blocker is you have no power and you have no direction so it's better than you make yourself a little bit late and force yourself to accelerate to the ball and even if I'm super they at least if I'm behind the ball I can tip and I can see what I'm doing and if I develop enough speed I can still get to politic up short fast lane one great hitter who does this very well as curaga from UCLA medicine ball or ball team first let's talk about how to get your feet to the ball at the set is imperfect a common mistake that people make that throws off the timing is that they go to the same spot over and over again and they're expecting this ball to come to them when they have to move the feet to the ball in order to spike it so very important that your first step is consistent in case it is a good set and then you need to change direction as you're approaching and getting your feet to the ball just like a Center can't expect every pass to go to them that they have to get their feet before they set it a Spiker cannot expect a ball to be in the same spot every time they also have to move to the ball before they smite there here's a good drill to work on your timing to make sure that you get your feet to the ball before you jump I've placed some volleyball on the court to demonstrate for different types of might receive as an outside hitter this fall here is considered a perfect set and that's where your first actually go this fall is the inside set this ball is the offset or your pushed off the net and this one is the wide set you're going to have some combination of all four these sets and if you practice proper footwork you should be able to effectively hit all these types of balls here's a great drill you can do to practice efficient footwork and whether you do a three four five or six step approach your last two steps are where you need to change direction to get your feet to the ball the first one good set second one inside set third one off set fourth one wide set you notice I have all more situations I should be able to jump pretty well and explode to the ball is what I call step close footwork need to close your feet to the ball on the second to last step you can also combine both drills by having a partner toss in all of these areas and your goal is to always get your feet to the ball and jump and catch the ball at your peak good inside [Applause] [Applause] once you can catch the walk consistently out your peak all you need to do is add an arm swing your time you should improve from that point thanks so much for watching this video about slightly timing if you would like me to make any other videos regarding athletic training volleyball or Fitness please leave your video suggestions in the comments below don't forget to like this video and share it with your friends who are also trying to improve their spiky timing thanks again for being a fan and I'll see you guys in the next video [Music]
