Increase Spiking POWER with Better Footwork (Volleyball Lesson)

Coach Donny • Elevate Yourself

Elevate Yourself Founder & Head Coach

Session Overview

In this live 1-on-1 coaching lesson, Coach Donny diagnoses a player's spiking approach footwork and shows how lengthening the penultimate stride and angling the block foot unlocks noticeably higher jump reach and hitting power.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

Accelerate into a long, low penultimate step to build horizontal velocity before planting to jump.
Turn the final block foot slightly inward to brake forward drift and channel momentum straight up.
Sync the backward arm swing with the penultimate step so both arms drive upward together at takeoff.

Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

"Push long on step two""Turn the block foot in""Swing arms back and up"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Great practical example of how a coach can spot and correct a sluggish approach in just a few reps.
