This guy is soooo cool, I’m starting volleyball in April hopefully and also hopefully gonna join the team as a libero, I always fantasise about playing and being able to dig and recieve the strongest spikes and serves but when I saw shoji here it’s like my thoughts of volleyball were taken out my mind, Erik shoji is truly a fantasy

He is definitely not short ....He just looks short while standing with other players who are like 2 metre tall guys ....Btw I am even shorter in height than Erik 😂
His turn and runs are so perfect

Wow Shoji is amazing! He’s definitely my favourite libero. I’m the middle blocker (well I’m actually not tall) in the team but I usually stay in the court when I rotate to the back row. I’m trying out those cool defensive skills like diving and rolling these days!
@hansonlam7153

Idk why some people think I’m a libero when they see me playing volleyball without wearing the uniform. Because I’m short? Or I defence well? Anyway I still like playing volleyball even if people think I’m too short for being a middle blocker.

Unless you’re Yuji Nidhida.
Is it just me or is there multiple passes of balls that were clearly out? I could be wrong, but it was a little confusing
okay, so i'm also a volleyball player, granted i don't play in a team yet, or have had any actual matches, but i still feel some shame for not knowing; why do they go after the ball even when it's technically out? like when it even goes through the sponsor boards n all, and other times they just simply call out? what counts as out here even?
@MC-kb7ek
2 жыл бұрын
I’m a volleyball player too, but to answer to your why? I think it’s because he knows he can save the ball so he just go get it. The point of volleyball is mostly saving the ball as much as you should so maybe that’s why they always go get the ball even though it’s out.
7:45 😂😂😂
Why size doesn t matter ? He is a Libero and not even that small :D
Anyone else imagining a Giant Libero?
Idk why but the Thumbnail makes me think they are doing Sasageyo Emote :b
Wasn't the first ball going out?
Nishinoya?
The bigger the better

The thumbnail is misleading but the title can make sense as (assuming) most libero isn't that tall as he is.
erik is 6’0 while the tallest player being 6’10 💀
