00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:27,922
Mark Burik:
When you get served, if anything about the way you approach that ball mentally or some part of your technique changes because of how you're served, that you're at a disadvantage that you don't quite queue in, or when people get a free ball in the middle of a crazy rally and they go and they exhale and they kind of almost melt into the path.
2
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:31,350
Mark Burik:
That is a change in your best technique.
3
00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:48,362
Mark Burik:
So today, guys, this is the better at Beach Volleyball podcast where we talk about everything that has to do with becoming a better player, coach, student of the game of beach volleyball.
4
00:00:48,506 --> 00:00:54,420
Mark Burik:
And today's topic is going to be about Skyballs, everything.
5
00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:55,742
Mark Burik:
Skyballs.
6
00:00:55,766 --> 00:01:03,118
Mark Burik:
Is it a gimmick? Is it a weapon, how to pass it, how to serve it? And look forward to talking about this.
7
00:01:03,144 --> 00:01:08,030
Mark Burik:
This is usually a fun and sometimes controversial discussion as an introduction.
8
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:09,338
Mark Burik:
My name is Mark Burik.
9
00:01:09,374 --> 00:01:20,498
Mark Burik:
I've played on the AVP now for ten years and I've been coaching about 13 years old, which some of you might scoff at.
10
00:01:20,584 --> 00:01:21,710
Mark Burik:
It's kind of crazy.
11
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:34,442
Mark Burik:
And my life is dedicated to creating this company and teaching people, teaching adults, young people as well as coaches how to get better at this game and enjoy it at a higher level.
12
00:01:34,516 --> 00:01:38,200
Mark Burik:
We love the sport and this is what we do.
13
00:01:38,530 --> 00:01:40,650
Mark Burik:
Brandon my co host.
14
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:41,966
Mark Burik:
Go ahead and introduce yourself.
15
00:01:42,028 --> 00:01:44,382
Brandon Joyner:
Howdy my name is Brandon Joyner.
16
00:01:44,466 --> 00:01:48,530
Brandon Joyner:
I am a beach volleyball enthusiast.
17
00:01:48,910 --> 00:01:54,400
Brandon Joyner:
Been playing beach volleyball professionally for about seven years now.
18
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:56,990
Brandon Joyner:
Played on the NBL for a long time now.
19
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:05,570
Brandon Joyner:
Switched over to AVP, still trying to break the barriers in that very competitive qualifier, main draw field that we have.
20
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:08,058
Brandon Joyner:
But looking forward to this season.
21
00:02:08,154 --> 00:02:19,358
Brandon Joyner:
And the main reason that I wanted to go this route with my life is because before I moved out to California to join forces with Mark for some of you guys, I don't know, Mark and I met in College.
22
00:02:19,504 --> 00:02:20,574
Brandon Joyner:
I was a freshman.
23
00:02:20,682 --> 00:02:27,654
Brandon Joyner:
Mark kind of took me under his wing when he was a senior, supersenior, super duper senior.
24
00:02:27,702 --> 00:02:32,118
Brandon Joyner:
Whichever one you want to think about, you did love College for all the wrong reasons.
25
00:02:32,154 --> 00:02:33,554
Brandon Joyner:
But no.
26
00:02:33,592 --> 00:02:34,118
Brandon Joyner:
So it was great.
27
00:02:34,144 --> 00:02:40,398
Brandon Joyner:
But after I finished playing professionally indoor overseas, I went back overseas.
28
00:02:40,554 --> 00:02:43,346
Brandon Joyner:
I went back to Virginia and I taught for four years.
29
00:02:43,468 --> 00:02:53,020
Brandon Joyner:
And I realized that to be honest, I wanted a bigger outreach than I was currently meeting really liked working with kids.
30
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:58,730
Brandon Joyner:
I really liked creating relationships with the adults that I met the area.
31
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:11,594
Brandon Joyner:
With beach volleyball teaching, I thought I was kind of limited into reaching anywhere from 130 to 150 kids per school year, which is amazing.
32
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:15,230
Brandon Joyner:
I wouldn't take that back and I have a lot of respect.
33
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:21,170
Brandon Joyner:
I mainly wanted to kind of just introduce myself to what I was very passionate about.
34
00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:22,638
Brandon Joyner:
I love the world of beach volleyball.
35
00:03:22,674 --> 00:03:34,626
Brandon Joyner:
I think not only is it joy from a family that goes to a barbecue with 60 to the Olympics where you're seeing some of the ball that has ever been played sport.
36
00:03:34,758 --> 00:03:35,738
Brandon Joyner:
So I think it's beautiful.
37
00:03:35,824 --> 00:03:38,558
Brandon Joyner:
And then the community itself is just amazing.
38
00:03:38,644 --> 00:03:46,778
Brandon Joyner:
So I wanted to hop on board with this and try to see where we could go, where we could continue educating people, but also create our own community.
39
00:03:46,864 --> 00:03:48,098
Brandon Joyner:
We're well on our way.
40
00:03:48,184 --> 00:03:51,602
Brandon Joyner:
So I'm excited to be here, and I love what we're doing.
41
00:03:51,736 --> 00:03:52,382
Brandon Joyner:
It's great.
42
00:03:52,456 --> 00:03:54,280
Mark Burik:
Yeah, we've got an amazing community.
43
00:03:55,150 --> 00:04:00,570
Mark Burik:
I think the people that are finding us and appreciating us are the ones that have caught the bug.
44
00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:06,414
Mark Burik:
We have to create a few more things and options for people who are just those light users.
45
00:04:06,522 --> 00:04:10,082
Mark Burik:
Maybe they play once or twice and they need something.
46
00:04:10,216 --> 00:04:16,386
Mark Burik:
But for those of you who are hooked got the bug ready to play, you found the right spot.
47
00:04:16,518 --> 00:04:21,410
Brandon Joyner:
Or if you're an adult that just is looking for a new challenge.
48
00:04:21,850 --> 00:04:26,738
Brandon Joyner:
I think that that's a big crew that we touch on, too, is a lot of us.
49
00:04:26,764 --> 00:04:37,070
Brandon Joyner:
When we get out of high school or college, if you're lucky enough to go play in college, or even if you do intramurals or something along those lines where you keep staying with the sport and you keep playing, it's great.
50
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:44,920
Brandon Joyner:
But you kind of lose that little edge that you had in high school where I was like, I want to get better so I can make the team.
51
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:50,762
Brandon Joyner:
There's no teams when you're an adult, but there are ways that you can continue to get better.
52
00:04:50,896 --> 00:04:56,282
Brandon Joyner:
There's ways that you can set goals for yourself and reach them monthly to a couple of months down the road.
53
00:04:56,356 --> 00:04:59,258
Brandon Joyner:
And whenever you're getting better at something, it feels good.
54
00:04:59,344 --> 00:05:03,686
Brandon Joyner:
But you got to kind of figure out a way to get on that track.
55
00:05:03,748 --> 00:05:05,882
Brandon Joyner:
And if you're looking for that, we got you.
56
00:05:05,956 --> 00:05:06,758
Mark Burik:
Let's talk a little bit.
57
00:05:06,784 --> 00:05:17,514
Mark Burik:
Just before we get into Skyballs, I'll talk about what's going on with the AVP schedule and the general sentiment among all of the players.
58
00:05:17,682 --> 00:05:25,970
Mark Burik:
Right now, everyone I talk to is frustrated, frustrated that we don't have a schedule, that we don't have a plan.
59
00:05:26,140 --> 00:05:37,490
Mark Burik:
Now, I know I did talk to somebody, and I think we're getting word within the next couple of weeks, but we don't have dates, we don't have cities.
60
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:45,078
Mark Burik:
I've seen some kind of random leaks for cities on different social media platforms.
61
00:05:45,114 --> 00:05:50,610
Mark Burik:
But the fact that these are leaks and that none of the players really know, it's a little bit frustrating.
62
00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:55,610
Mark Burik:
And we're supposed to plan our entire year in reverse.
63
00:05:56,050 --> 00:06:08,606
Mark Burik:
You want to look at what events you want to be great for and then plan backwards, because that's when you want to be fast, you don't want to have any soreness and you want to build all of your strength and all of your speed up to that final event.
64
00:06:08,668 --> 00:06:16,970
Mark Burik:
And sometimes it's a series of events which is the case with AVP, but even then, within AVP season, you still have a goal tournament.
65
00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:20,570
Mark Burik:
I always want to perform in New York in front of my home crowd.
66
00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:24,918
Mark Burik:
That's a tournament that I like to be fresh for and prepared.
67
00:06:25,014 --> 00:06:32,018
Mark Burik:
And I think a lot of people definitely prepare for Manhattan and Harmony, but we don't really have word on it.
68
00:06:32,044 --> 00:06:34,166
Mark Burik:
These are happening.
69
00:06:34,288 --> 00:06:43,614
Mark Burik:
So we're just kind of training at a point where we don't know what our timeline should be, and that can be frustrating.
70
00:06:43,782 --> 00:06:56,270
Mark Burik:
And so for any of you who are out there and you're training and you're practicing, but you don't don't know what your timeline is, my recommendation is to set your own goals.
71
00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:01,434
Mark Burik:
You don't have to judge it by anybody else, anybody sees in anybody's tournament.
72
00:07:01,542 --> 00:07:10,646
Mark Burik:
Just set a little micro goal one or two months in advance and say, I'm either going to be lifting or I'm going to be this much faster or my passing is going to prove by this percent.
73
00:07:10,828 --> 00:07:13,790
Mark Burik:
But some goal setting has to happen.
74
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:25,960
Mark Burik:
And you can't do what we all did during the last two years of Covid and just kind of wander and lift whenever, because if you don't aim for anything, you don't hit anything.
75
00:07:27,130 --> 00:07:30,882
Mark Burik:
How do you feel about that?
76
00:07:30,966 --> 00:07:49,346
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah, it's tough. Obviously, we get a lot of questions about the schedule when it's coming out, and I think a lot of people look at us because we put ourselves in the world of beach volleyball a lot, and it feels good to get those questions, but also just it worries me a little bit, the fact that we don't know anything.
77
00:07:49,468 --> 00:08:12,402
Brandon Joyner:
Whenever you talk to everybody, it doesn't matter if they're one of the top five seats in the AVP or if they are best buddies with people on the staff, everyone kind of gives these, oh, I've heard this, and it's a little frustrating because it already is the new year, and we get a lot of questions about when we're running camps during the summer.
78
00:08:12,546 --> 00:08:14,462
Brandon Joyner:
So it's very difficult for us.
79
00:08:14,536 --> 00:08:21,602
Brandon Joyner:
For those of you guys that have been asking when we're running camps during the summer, during the spring, we would love to tell you.
80
00:08:21,676 --> 00:08:22,598
Brandon Joyner:
We would love to tell you.
81
00:08:22,624 --> 00:08:29,598
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah, we're trying to figure out what dates make sense to us because we are still competing.
82
00:08:29,634 --> 00:08:42,354
Brandon Joyner:
That's one of the best things about what Mark and I do is that we love educating the world of beach volleyball, but we still have our own goals individually of how we want to compete.
83
00:08:42,402 --> 00:09:09,842
Brandon Joyner:
Still, we're definitely focusing on it whenever I think about we talked to Logan two weeks ago when you were driving cross country, and even as somebody that comes to mind who I don't think people would normally think of this person as doing it, but Taylor Crab, the year Covid hit, it kind of looks like both of those guys just wanted to play as much volleyball as they could.
84
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:13,286
Brandon Joyner:
And I think that's something that you can do right now.
85
00:09:13,408 --> 00:09:20,090
Brandon Joyner:
I fell victim of it last summer and the summer before of only training for AVP tournaments.
86
00:09:20,410 --> 00:09:26,030
Brandon Joyner:
And I think that we're kind of at the point where people need to rethink that planning.
87
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:45,700
Brandon Joyner:
I think you need to plan on these other tournaments, these wapacas, the seaside, the ones that are notorious for being pasta, the ones that are being notorious for being run for long periods of time because people don't mess with legacy too much.
88
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:50,680
Brandon Joyner:
And if you're looking for high level tournaments, I would say start there.
89
00:09:51,070 --> 00:10:04,262
Brandon Joyner:
And one of my goals this year is I want to play in anywhere from twelve to 16 tournaments, which is probably triple, if not double of what I did last year or the year before.
90
00:10:04,456 --> 00:10:07,360
Brandon Joyner:
And to be honest, that goal doesn't matter.
91
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:24,542
Brandon Joyner:
I'm not necessarily waiting on the AVP schedule because sucks to say it like this, but I haven't been able to trust that much in the last couple of years me specifically because I'm a mid tier qualifier player where two years ago they were only accepting a certain amount of players based on points.
92
00:10:24,616 --> 00:10:25,914
Brandon Joyner:
So I wasn't in that bracket.
93
00:10:25,962 --> 00:10:34,922
Brandon Joyner:
And then last year, with the smaller schedule and bigger tournaments lining up on the same or big tournaments lining up on the same weekend, that make a little bit more sense for me to go play.
94
00:10:35,056 --> 00:10:43,110
Brandon Joyner:
I've kind of looked at it a little different this year, and I'm just taking the summer as my season or the late, maybe mid spring summer as my season.
95
00:10:43,170 --> 00:10:47,330
Brandon Joyner:
And once I feel like I'm ready to go, I'm going to start playing tournaments.
96
00:10:47,710 --> 00:10:52,842
Brandon Joyner:
And then once AVP schedule comes out, then I'll be able to kind of make my schedule a little bit more concrete.
97
00:10:52,866 --> 00:10:55,470
Brandon Joyner:
But I'm kind of moving forward without knowing.
98
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:55,754
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
99
00:10:55,792 --> 00:11:04,350
Mark Burik:
And for everybody out there who gets upset because you don't know when those tournaments are, you want to create some sort of schedule.
100
00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:09,026
Mark Burik:
This is just another lesson that you have to be the driver of you.
101
00:11:09,088 --> 00:11:10,854
Mark Burik:
You have to take a look at your dates.
102
00:11:10,902 --> 00:11:12,566
Mark Burik:
You have to take a look at your week.
103
00:11:12,628 --> 00:11:26,493
Mark Burik:
You have to take a look at the day in your week and say, when am I lifting? How does this lifting get me into my macro goal? And then just whether you have an AVP tournament or not, you bumping up your attacking percentage by 15% 10%.
104
00:11:26,518 --> 00:11:32,186
Mark Burik:
That has nothing to do with whether an AVP tournament exists or not.
105
00:11:32,308 --> 00:11:41,702
Mark Burik:
You have to set those little goals and go ahead and reach them on your own timeline and stop comparing and stop waiting for everybody else to put it out in front of you.
106
00:11:41,776 --> 00:11:44,358
Mark Burik:
So it's frustrating, but you have to adapt.
107
00:11:44,394 --> 00:11:45,618
Mark Burik:
You have to overcome.
108
00:11:45,774 --> 00:11:50,862
Mark Burik:
And one of the things that we've been developing in the background is our beach volleyball.
109
00:11:51,006 --> 00:11:54,846
Mark Burik:
It might just turn into an all around volleyball, a performance Journal.
110
00:11:55,038 --> 00:12:00,282
Mark Burik:
And what we've included in this is a stat keeping section.
111
00:12:00,426 --> 00:12:05,150
Mark Burik:
The most important stats are beach volleyball and a very easy way to keep them.
112
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:37,262
Mark Burik:
That's going to be included a pre practice goal setting where you're prompted with questions so you know what you're working on for that practice, a post practice, how well you focused, how well you executed, a daily energy assessment that asks you what you ate, how long you slept, and where your energy levels were so that at every moment you can be keeping track of what you're doing and how it relates to your goals and you can really see objectively how well you're doing.
113
00:12:37,456 --> 00:12:46,854
Mark Burik:
So this is something that I've been wanting to come out with for like three or four years because it also starts to track what you do against different teams.
114
00:12:47,022 --> 00:13:29,910
Mark Burik:
It creates leading questions and prompts to say, what's your game plan against these two people? What do you expect will happen from that game plan? Like, why are you serving their left side middle? Then it asks you at the end, why did your game plan work? Did you get the expected results? Did you stick to the game plan? So his performance Journal is still in the making? I'm very excited about it, but it asks all the questions of a player that a good coach would ask, what's your game plan? How are you going to execute it? What do you think is going to happen? And then afterwards it assesses that so that you can grow as a player.
115
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:47,558
Mark Burik:
So if any coaches or any players out there are looking to get this performance Journal, I want to know if that excites you, if you want to be able to keep your own stats and track your goals, if you want to be able to know how you sleep and how you eat and what effect that plays on you.
116
00:13:47,644 --> 00:13:57,170
Mark Burik:
Because I'm very excited about this Journal, but it might just because it comes from me and what I need to track and what I've been tracking through the years and the things that I haven't.
117
00:13:57,550 --> 00:14:06,446
Mark Burik:
So for everybody out there who is interested in that performance Journal, I want you to just comment the crap out of this podcast on our YouTube channel.
118
00:14:06,508 --> 00:14:11,327
Mark Burik:
And if you want, shoot me an email at support, at betteratbeach.com.
119
00:14:11,337 --> 00:14:17,766
Mark Burik:
And maybe we can see if we can give you a sneak peek or get you one of the very first copies.
120
00:14:17,838 --> 00:14:19,542
Mark Burik:
And I want to make these physical prints.
121
00:14:19,566 --> 00:14:31,446
Mark Burik:
We can make them e prints, but I want to make them physical books so that people have something to carry to every training and every lifting session and then just fill out before they go to bed so that you can track yourself as a true athlete.
122
00:14:31,578 --> 00:14:33,400
Mark Burik:
So let's talk about it.
123
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:34,154
Brandon Joyner:
Cool.
124
00:14:34,192 --> 00:14:45,830
Mark Burik:
Brandon, do you think a Skyball is more of a gimmick or a weapon? I think it is completely based on when you decide to do it for me.
125
00:14:45,940 --> 00:14:57,186
Brandon Joyner:
At my level, if I see somebody who's going to Skyball, there are not many people that I am extremely worried about at this point handling their sky balls.
126
00:14:57,378 --> 00:14:59,750
Brandon Joyner:
I haven't passed Adrian in a couple of years.
127
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,140
Brandon Joyner:
It was the first one that I fell victim to.
128
00:15:02,530 --> 00:15:09,762
Brandon Joyner:
But even like some people that I think of when I think of good sky balls are obviously you, I think of Jeff Samuels.
129
00:15:09,786 --> 00:15:14,680
Brandon Joyner:
I think he has a pretty solid Skyball, and that almost ends it a little bit.
130
00:15:15,310 --> 00:15:19,838
Brandon Joyner:
There's not a whole lot of people out there that worry me.
131
00:15:19,984 --> 00:15:30,794
Brandon Joyner:
And even if I'm playing against you and it's not windy or maybe the Sun's not too bad or something like that, then I'm not really worried when you get back there either.
132
00:15:30,892 --> 00:15:35,174
Brandon Joyner:
Sometimes, obviously, you can still get me if you put enough spin on it.
133
00:15:35,212 --> 00:15:44,730
Brandon Joyner:
But unless it's windy, I think at the top level, it's a little bit too gimmicky and it's not too much of a threat.
134
00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:56,130
Brandon Joyner:
But if it's windy and you have the ability to put that ball up in the air for a while and create a lot of spin and get it moving, then it can certainly be a weapon.
135
00:15:56,250 --> 00:15:57,014
Mark Burik:
I like it.
136
00:15:57,112 --> 00:15:57,518
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
137
00:15:57,604 --> 00:15:59,440
Mark Burik:
You want to hear my opinion? I do.
138
00:16:00,130 --> 00:16:01,554
Mark Burik:
Absolute weapon.
139
00:16:01,722 --> 00:16:02,994
Brandon Joyner:
Absolute weapon.
140
00:16:03,042 --> 00:16:04,110
Brandon Joyner:
I like the confidence.
141
00:16:04,170 --> 00:16:05,142
Mark Burik:
Absolute weapon.
142
00:16:05,226 --> 00:16:05,618
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah.
143
00:16:05,704 --> 00:16:11,318
Mark Burik:
It's something that people do not see, that it throws them off.
144
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:21,770
Mark Burik:
When you think of some of the best pitchers in Major League baseball, you do not always think of the people who throw the hardest.
145
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:38,922
Mark Burik:
When we talk about guys like old school and Greg Mattox, maybe like 93 miles an hour fastball, he's not always bringing the heat, but the people who can locate who can change rhythm and who can capitalize on that change of rhythm.
146
00:16:39,006 --> 00:16:45,270
Mark Burik:
Most people don't realize that when you go for a Skyball, you're not intentionally going for an ace.
147
00:16:45,450 --> 00:16:45,974
Mark Burik:
Right.
148
00:16:46,072 --> 00:16:49,362
Mark Burik:
That is quite normally not why you are attempting a Skyball.
149
00:16:49,446 --> 00:16:50,202
Mark Burik:
It's funny.
150
00:16:50,286 --> 00:16:53,598
Mark Burik:
You demoralize people and you get them really mad.
151
00:16:53,694 --> 00:16:57,870
Mark Burik:
If you do ace them, which already you're at an advantage.
152
00:16:57,930 --> 00:17:07,610
Mark Burik:
If you can affect their emotion just because you hit a ball really high, boom, you've already got that psychological advantage coming in, because now you've altered something in that person's play.
153
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,826
Mark Burik:
The thing about it is that most people, they get tentative.
154
00:17:12,018 --> 00:17:15,590
Mark Burik:
If you're going to go for a Skyball, you got to go for it, period.
155
00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:17,610
Mark Burik:
It can't be half assed.
156
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:26,678
Mark Burik:
It can't just be the is like without a stretch wind up, you have to throw your arm back full on stretch and Chuck it up there.
157
00:17:26,704 --> 00:17:32,870
Mark Burik:
Because if you go halfway on a Skyball, that's a free ball.
158
00:17:33,910 --> 00:17:45,470
Mark Burik:
But even when you throw that under hand freeball to somebody, something changes in an inexperienced player's rhythm.
159
00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:48,342
Mark Burik:
They sit there, they say it's an easy free ball.
160
00:17:48,366 --> 00:17:49,278
Mark Burik:
It's a joke.
161
00:17:49,374 --> 00:17:57,590
Mark Burik:
And instead of queuing in to everything that they normally do well when they're passing, they somehow relax.
162
00:17:57,910 --> 00:18:03,486
Mark Burik:
They change because they're seeing something different or a different flight.
163
00:18:03,618 --> 00:18:10,590
Mark Burik:
What happens is they then don't do the rest of their footwork, the rest of their normal offensive rhythm.
164
00:18:10,770 --> 00:18:17,214
Mark Burik:
And as soon as you can throw somebody's offensive rhythm just a little bit, that is your advantage.
165
00:18:17,322 --> 00:18:32,920
Mark Burik:
I remember talking to Stafford Slick and Casey Patterson, they talked about a Wrinkle throwing something just slightly different into that other team's offense so that you can take advantage of when they change or need to change just a little bit.
166
00:18:33,550 --> 00:18:39,782
Mark Burik:
So if you can't get points, you absolutely just you're struggling, they're siding out.
167
00:18:39,916 --> 00:19:02,740
Mark Burik:
Why wouldn't you throw something completely different?
168
00:19:03,070 --> 00:19:07,334
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah, I think when I was talking and I was creating like the pros cons list in my mind, the one thing that I had written in the cons list of it being a threat was that it does mess up the rhythm of the play. People get into this, you can almost count it.
169
00:19:07,492 --> 00:19:14,320
Brandon Joyner:
Serve, two, three, pass, two, three, set, two, three, hit, two, three.
170
00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:19,010
Brandon Joyner:
And that is a rhythm that we start to just bank on every single time.
171
00:19:19,060 --> 00:19:29,594
Brandon Joyner:
So if somebody throws up that really high ball or it's just a different speed where maybe it's making them wait a second longer or something like that, then that does do the job.
172
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:51,734
Brandon Joyner:
It really is crazy how many times, especially if somebody hits an easy survey and if your mind gives you that option of saying, oh, this is an easy play, you're done, you've already lost, you haven't gotten your feet there early enough, you haven't gotten your platform out early enough.
173
00:19:51,892 --> 00:20:00,938
Brandon Joyner:
So I think you are right in that sense as far as messing up the timing, because we do, we fall victim to it.
174
00:20:00,964 --> 00:20:01,754
Brandon Joyner:
Everybody does.
175
00:20:01,852 --> 00:20:04,910
Brandon Joyner:
There's a reason that it says, oh, they're getting into a rhythm.
176
00:20:05,890 --> 00:20:11,066
Brandon Joyner:
And with that Skyball, that is something that you could throw off the rhythm especially.
177
00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:25,982\
Brandon Joyner:
And sometimes it doesn't have to be you're not trying to even score, you're just trying to get them out of that rhythm and to realize because then maybe the next time you serve them normal now they have to refine that rhythm that they had kind of established before.
178
00:20:26,056 --> 00:20:28,538
Brandon Joyner:
So I think that's a really good point.
179
00:20:28,684 --> 00:20:43,026
Brandon Joyner:
My big thing that I'm going to talk to you, I'm going to kind of interview you here for a second because you have the good Skyball and I'm the person that I can hit it okay, but I'm pretty inconsistent.
180
00:20:43,098 --> 00:20:59,306
Brandon Joyner:
So do you have any styles or anything like that that you find work better for you that will allow you to get the ball higher? Are you worried about that at all? Do you aim for a specific spot to be consistent? Because a lot of people we miss if we're not good at them, we miss it a lot.
181
00:20:59,368 --> 00:21:03,820
Mark Burik:
The thing about it is if you want to develop a Skyball, you can't do it once.
182
00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:10,746
Mark Burik:
You got to throw in your hours and your thousands of reps, just like any other skill.
183
00:21:10,878 --> 00:21:32,018
Mark Burik:
So if you want to break it out because it's a weapon, because you want to treat it as a weapon, you have to practice it, right? This might not be in the Arsenal of necessary things that you practice, but if you want to have it, not every pitcher has a knuckle ball, right? No, they don't have other things that work well for them.
184
00:21:32,044 --> 00:21:37,358
Mark Burik:
So if you can practice it instead of just saying, oh, crap, there's nothing else to do.
185
00:21:37,444 --> 00:21:42,700
Mark Burik:
So I might as well just do this funny thing or I've given up or there's no other answer.
186
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:45,414
Mark Burik:
That's not when you should throw down that Skyball.
187
00:21:45,462 --> 00:21:55,784
Mark Burik:
So for me, when I really started developing my Skyball was the season I played in Australia because there was always wind that came it was blowing either at the net or away from the net.
188
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,942
Mark Burik:
It was never blowing sideways at the beach that I was playing at.
189
00:22:00,016 --> 00:22:06,220
Mark Burik:
And I was so tired of giving these soft, easy float serves from the bad side.
190
00:22:06,610 --> 00:22:11,860
Mark Burik:
Because here's what people don't understand about serving that they absolutely have to.
191
00:22:12,430 --> 00:22:18,750
Mark Burik:
You need to get the pass out of the passers sweet spot.
192
00:22:18,810 --> 00:22:26,390
Mark Burik:
You need to serve so that it does not cross them every single time between their shins and their shoulders.
193
00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:40,554
Mark Burik:
If you just put your arms out to your side and your hands are out to your side like a T, and then you look down at your shins, something like 90% of both are going to pass you there in serve receive.
194
00:22:40,602 --> 00:22:43,782
Mark Burik:
That's your sweet spot where you don't have to move forward, you don't have to move backwards.
195
00:22:43,926 --> 00:22:53,894
Mark Burik:
And so many players ignore the idea of serving over that fence that you created with your arms tied or in front of you so that you have to move up.
196
00:22:53,992 --> 00:22:58,986
Mark Burik:
And then that changes all of your spacing offensively, even if it's an easier path.
197
00:22:59,178 --> 00:23:03,654
Mark Burik:
It requires extra footwork, extra movement to get you back to that different distance.
198
00:23:03,702 --> 00:23:05,334
Mark Burik:
And again, it's changing the rhythm.
199
00:23:05,382 --> 00:23:09,290
Mark Burik:
It's forcing the passer and the attacker to get into a different rhythm.
200
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:17,238
Mark Burik:
So if you can serve over that T or in front of it, that is a different type of serve.
201
00:23:17,274 --> 00:23:26,978
Mark Burik:
Every time I say serve deep to a new player that I'm coaching, they just serve flat and deep and it crosses somebody in their chest where they don't have to move.
202
00:23:27,004 --> 00:23:30,090
Mark Burik:
And I'm like, that ball is going to land in the deep part of the court.
203
Mark Burik:
00:23:30,210 --> 00:23:32,690
But that's not a deep serve.
204
00:23:33,130 --> 00:23:37,406
Mark Burik:
That's a serve that the passer just has to sit still and pass.
205
00:23:37,588 --> 00:23:47,246
Mark Burik:
So all of this comes back to say that I got tired of giving people really easy serves from the bad side.
206
00:23:47,368 --> 00:23:59,414
Mark Burik:
Because when you serve with the wind, the ball doesn't float as much, you can't hit it as hard, and you have less overpasses because that player is protected by the wind.
207
00:23:59,452 --> 00:24:01,610
Mark Burik:
They can pass tight and the ball will be blown back.
208
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,754
Mark Burik:
So I started pushing players back, but I didn't think that was enough.
209
00:24:04,912 --> 00:24:09,294
Mark Burik:
So then I just said, all right, you know what? Every time I'm on the bad side, I'm going to Skyball.
210
00:24:09,342 --> 00:24:14,562
Mark Burik:
And that's when I started devoting myself to a float sky instead of a spin sky.
211
00:24:14,706 --> 00:24:16,430
Brandon Joyner:
Almost a Kurt topple.
212
00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:18,978
Mark Burik:
Yeah, a little Kurt topple.
213
00:24:19,134 --> 00:24:33,774
Mark Burik:
I think somebody's got to correct me if I'm wrong, but maybe Simgen did it when they had the clock, when they were playing with the time clock in the AVP, and they just slapped it up without any of the spin that like Adrian uses or I or Jeff uses anymore.
214
00:24:33,942 --> 00:24:45,926
Mark Burik:
But to be able to push them back and change that rhythm so drastically and make them move around the court instead of giving them something that crosses their sweet spot that holds so much value.
215
00:24:45,988 --> 00:24:48,878
Mark Burik:
So I started doing it then, but I was doing it every single day.
216
00:24:48,904 --> 00:25:03,290
Mark Burik:
I mean, I was practicing four or 5 hours a day in Australia and I got so comfortable feeling how fast the wind was, how high I could put it, and it still go in, but it wasn't on accident.
217
00:25:03,610 --> 00:25:09,820
Mark Burik:
I said this is what I'm going to be doing from the bad side so that I can have something different that players don't see.
218
00:25:10,330 --> 00:25:13,338
Mark Burik:
And it's not designed again, it's not designed to be an ace.
219
00:25:13,374 --> 00:25:15,950
Mark Burik:
It's designed to be a wrinkle in the offensive rhythm.
220
00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:18,950
Mark Burik:
So that's when it started.
221
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,822
Mark Burik:
But then now I serve heavily with spin into the wind.
222
00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:32,282
Mark Burik:
If there's wind going from one side of the court, I have a forehand Skyball, I have a back end Skyball, and I really like to make that thing move.
223
00:25:32,476 --> 00:25:39,866
Brandon Joyner:
So when you say forehand or backhand, can you just explain that a little bit more?
224
00:25:39,988 --> 00:25:52,778
Mark Burik:
Yeah. So there's a Skyball where if you put your hand in front of you in a karate chop position like you're karate chopping the table in front of you, that ball will go off of the back of your hand if you're looking at it.
225
00:25:52,804 --> 00:26:07,070
Mark Burik:
So that means that if that ball is in front of me, I'm going to hit this ball barely on the left side of the ball coming up under it and hitting the left side of the ball that's going to make the ball go to my right or the back of my hand.
226
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,550
Mark Burik:
So that's one way and that's the way that most people see people Skyball.
227
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:17,510
Mark Burik:
But I don't know if it was from a tennis background because I played tennis as a kid.
228
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,866
Mark Burik:
So I got comfortable with that forehand swing.
229
00:26:19,998 --> 00:26:29,726
Mark Burik:
If I put my hand in that karate chop position again, I also have a serve where I hit the right side of the ball and so the ball goes to my left.
230
00:26:29,848 --> 00:26:30,998
Mark Burik:
So when I'm at the service line.
231
00:26:31,024 --> 00:26:36,714
Mark Burik:
I face sideways, I don't face the court, I face sideways, and I can either hit a backhand ball or a forehand ball.
232
00:26:36,822 --> 00:26:46,010
Mark Burik:
And if I want to hit that spins, the top of the ball is going into the wind and that's going to make it cut back into the court.
233
00:26:46,510 --> 00:26:53,966
Mark Burik:
So I judge whether I should go for a sky ball with my forehand or my backhand by what side the wind is on.
234
00:26:54,148 --> 00:26:57,218
Mark Burik:
That plays a lot, and I think I can hit both equally as high.
235
00:26:57,304 --> 00:27:01,290
Mark Burik:
I'm as comfortable on both sides because I practice both sides equally.
236
00:27:01,410 --> 00:27:06,674
Mark Burik:
I do think that there is a little bit more spin, maybe with my back end.
237
00:27:06,772 --> 00:27:07,310
Brandon Joyner:
That's cool.
238
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:15,134
Brandon Joyner:
So you have your hand completely open because I've also seen some people that almost go with, like, we call it the remote control dig.
239
00:27:15,292 --> 00:27:17,646
Brandon Joyner:
You know, when we're talking about under hand defense.
240
00:27:17,778 --> 00:27:18,460
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
241
00:27:18,790 --> 00:27:24,050
Brandon Joyner:
I've seen a lot of people who look like they're using a remote control if you guys can visualize that at home.
242
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:34,818
Brandon Joyner:
But do you think there's a benefit between having that little platform? Because when you make the remote control, you have a little bit of a space where you can hit that ball.
243
00:27:34,914 --> 00:27:38,394
Brandon Joyner:
But I'm not sure about consistency wise.
244
00:27:38,562 --> 00:27:39,280
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
245
00:27:40,090 --> 00:27:48,626
Mark Burik:
So like, at the end of your whip, if you can hold your hand solid enough but it can still be fast, the solidity of your hand is going to make that ball pop.
246
00:27:48,688 --> 00:27:59,426
Mark Burik:
But if you just lower it and you hit the ball just a little bit more on your wrist than your actual hand, that ball will start hitting your solid bones instead of having the bounce from your hand.
247
00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:03,580
Mark Burik:
And that might make the impact and the height of the ball go a little bit higher.
248
00:28:03,910 --> 00:28:09,870
Mark Burik:
So I hit it kind of somewhere between my thumb joint and my wrist joint.
249
00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:14,270
Mark Burik:
And that gives me a lot of height while still having spin.
250
00:28:15,070 --> 00:28:16,202
Brandon Joyner:
I like it.
251
00:28:16,396 --> 00:28:21,266
Mark Burik:
But I think people get upset when they service Skyball and somebody passes it.
252
00:28:21,388 --> 00:28:23,102
Mark Burik:
They spike it, they said it, they spike it.
253
00:28:23,116 --> 00:28:24,942
Mark Burik:
And then all the fans like, oh, that was stupid.
254
00:28:24,966 --> 00:28:25,900
Mark Burik:
It didn't work.
255
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:32,254
Mark Burik:
Volleyball is played over a long strategy.
256
00:28:32,422 --> 00:28:36,260
Mark Burik:
It is not one individual point at a time.
257
00:28:36,650 --> 00:28:51,030
Mark Burik:
And even though we play these two sets of 20, that's why we play best of three sets, because this game can swing and the better players will always come out over time because they have better strategies and more consistencies.
258
00:28:51,710 --> 00:29:01,842
Mark Burik:
I'm not going to say anyone, but anyone can take a set from Nick and Phil, but over time they're going to win because they're more consistent, they're getting it there.
259
00:29:01,916 --> 00:29:10,006
Mark Burik:
And that's the proof that this is a long time, long term strategy game and that we're scoring it correctly.
260
00:29:10,078 --> 00:29:18,582
Mark Burik:
If you play one set to 21, like you're playing in those local tournaments where you have one set to 21 as the deciding factor, one set to 28.
261
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:24,282
Mark Burik:
That's really tough for those players because that usually happens when it's the important time.
262
00:29:24,416 --> 00:29:32,202
Mark Burik:
It's like, well, we need to reward everybody for signing up for the tournament by getting everybody the maximum amount of playing time.
263
00:29:32,396 --> 00:29:46,590
Mark Burik:
But then the better players get kind of cheated out of real volleyball because they're playing this shorter time window and they don't get to put their strategy and their long term play on display.
264
00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:52,374
Brandon Joyner:
It reminds me a lot of the Buffalo Bills Kansas City game last night.
265
00:29:52,532 --> 00:30:02,730
Brandon Joyner:
I'm a pretty big Bills fan and went to overtime phenomenal game, and it came down to a freaking coin toss and I'll move on.
266
00:30:02,780 --> 00:30:04,506
Brandon Joyner:
But hey, I get it.
267
00:30:04,568 --> 00:30:09,294
Brandon Joyner:
It's frustrating as far as football goes.
268
00:30:09,392 --> 00:30:11,720
Mark Burik:
I think that's pretty garbage as well.
269
00:30:12,530 --> 00:30:17,742
Mark Burik:
To leave it to a coin toss with no rebuttal, I know you got to save time.
270
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:27,294
Mark Burik:
I know you want to put an end to it, but at least hockey's got a shootout right where everybody has that chance to come back.
271
00:30:27,452 --> 00:30:37,822
Brandon Joyner:
You put two people on a team on one side of the hash, another team on the other side of the hash, best running back versus best defender.
272
00:30:37,966 --> 00:30:41,300
Brandon Joyner:
Let them go, see what happens.
273
00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:45,802
Brandon Joyner:
No, I like that.
274
00:30:45,876 --> 00:30:51,720
Brandon Joyner:
And it's realizing that it is setting you up for something that you're going to do in the future.
275
00:30:52,710 --> 00:31:01,042
Brandon Joyner:
And kind of going back to this idea that we had about rhythm, it's almost better if you serve that Skyball and it feels easy for them.
276
00:31:01,236 --> 00:31:10,094
Brandon Joyner:
If the first one feels easy, yes, it might give them a little bit of confidence, but for your goal, it's hoping that it gets them out of a rhythm.
277
00:31:10,202 --> 00:31:16,354
Brandon Joyner:
So if they feel like the first one is easy and then you get a hold of the next one, maybe that's the one you're going to score on.
278
00:31:16,512 --> 00:31:50,618
Mark Burik:
So it's so hard to explain that to people, to explain that when you get served, if anything, about the way you approach that ball mentally or some part of your technique changes because of how you're served, that you're at a disadvantage that you don't quite queue in, or when people get a free ball in the middle of a crazy rally and they go and they exhale and they kind of almost melt into the path.
279
00:31:50,774 --> 00:31:54,070
Mark Burik:
That is a change in your best technique.
280
00:31:54,390 --> 00:32:03,530
Mark Burik:
And as soon as you allow that to happen, as soon as you turn off that sense of importance and urgency with every touch, you're doomed.
281
00:32:03,710 --> 00:32:07,754
Mark Burik:
You have to stay in the fight like this is Muhammad Ali.
282
00:32:07,862 --> 00:32:11,650
Mark Burik:
He was the one who introduced us to the world with the ropidope.
283
00:32:12,510 --> 00:32:20,470
Mark Burik:
He just was getting knocked out and then getting hit and getting hit and getting hit, and then the other guy got super confident and pretty much exhausted himself.
284
00:32:20,790 --> 00:32:25,442
Mark Burik:
It's a little bit different in boxing because you're not going to exhaust somebody in a beach volleyball court.
285
00:32:25,466 --> 00:32:30,190
Mark Burik:
But having that confidence go into them when all right, it's an easy free ball now.
286
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,470
Mark Burik:
Something sloppy happens, but you're queued in mentally.
287
00:32:33,530 --> 00:32:40,440
Mark Burik:
That is what's going to win and lose tournaments, those little moments that sometimes are referred to as a lack of focus.
288
00:32:41,610 --> 00:32:43,394
Mark Burik:
Lose that focus for that instant.
289
00:32:43,442 --> 00:32:52,178
Mark Burik:
For all of you players out there who are training and you think this is easy, you need to stop then immediately.
290
00:32:52,334 --> 00:33:00,430
Mark Burik:
You need to train yourself to be a warrior and be in every moment knowing that somebody is coming after you and you cannot fall asleep at one point.
291
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,474
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah, I talk a lot about especially we work with a lot of adults.
292
00:33:05,642 --> 00:33:21,574
Brandon Joyner:
So adults have already reached a level of athleticism that is pretty normal for an adult to find how athletic they are by the time they're 25, moving on to 30.
293
00:33:21,732 --> 00:33:24,074
Brandon Joyner:
Obviously, there are ways to become more athletic.
294
00:33:24,122 --> 00:33:26,086
Brandon Joyner:
There are things you can do to help yourself out.
295
00:33:26,148 --> 00:33:38,554
Brandon Joyner:
But I think adults, we tend to rely more on touch than we do technique, and that's if you've never been coached, if you're teaching yourself, we rely on our athleticism and our touch.
296
00:33:38,592 --> 00:33:54,694
Brandon Joyner:
And what I mean by touch is instead of having a really solid base when you're passing and creating an angle with your platform, you're allowing your feet to not be in the correct spot, and you're just kind of swinging your arms and getting it to go to the correct area.
297
00:33:54,792 --> 00:33:55,162
Brandon Joyner:
Yes.
298
00:33:55,236 --> 00:33:57,758
Brandon Joyner:
When the pass goes to the right spot, it's a great feeling.
299
00:33:57,794 --> 00:34:00,118
Brandon Joyner:
It looks good, it feels good.
300
00:34:00,264 --> 00:34:07,142
Brandon Joyner:
But I've had the same conversation with a lot of adults because we're really good at using touch when we're not tired.
301
00:34:07,286 --> 00:34:16,646
Brandon Joyner:
But when we start getting tired throughout a match, that's when our touch starts to go away a little bit because it requires our athleticism.
302
00:34:16,778 --> 00:34:27,682
Brandon Joyner:
And as we start to get tired, our athleticism goes down a little bit, whether it's jumping higher, whether it's moving faster, whatever it is, it definitely goes down.
303
00:34:27,756 --> 00:34:34,714
Brandon Joyner:
But technique is something that you can hold onto for an entire match if you train yourself to do it.
304
00:34:34,812 --> 00:34:36,770
Brandon Joyner:
And that's more of a mental battle.
305
00:34:36,830 --> 00:34:47,302
Brandon Joyner:
And for me specifically, I've realized that if I can maintain my technique throughout a match, my athleticism will follow.
306
00:34:47,436 --> 00:34:50,818
Brandon Joyner:
The adrenaline will start pumping after I make a really good pass.
307
00:34:50,964 --> 00:35:04,162
Brandon Joyner:
But if I start relying on touch or kind of bringing it full circle with what you've been talking about with the Skyball and any serving is that if I start off a match being like, okay, whatever, I don't care how I do it.
308
00:35:04,176 --> 00:35:09,014
Brandon Joyner:
I just need to get this passed to the target or the setter spot on the court.
309
00:35:09,122 --> 00:35:17,206
Brandon Joyner:
Yes, I'm going to start off the game passing just as well as I normally do, but once I started getting tired, I'm going to forget a step.
310
00:35:17,328 --> 00:35:20,494
Brandon Joyner:
I'm going to forget to lock my core in.
311
00:35:20,652 --> 00:35:23,220
Brandon Joyner:
I'm going to forget to get my platform out early.
312
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:31,654
Brandon Joyner:
And if we continue to rely on that touch or that athleticism instead of technique, then that's what sets you up for those.
313
00:35:31,752 --> 00:35:37,162
Brandon Joyner:
Oh, my gosh, I can't believe I just shanked the easiest serve of the game.
314
00:35:37,296 --> 00:35:38,374
Brandon Joyner:
We've all been there.
315
00:35:38,472 --> 00:35:51,610
Brandon Joyner:
You can't tell me you haven't really the way that you're able to just by keeping a bit longer is that is the point threat other than a gimmick.
316
00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:58,270
Brandon Joyner:
But when it becomes a time after time after time,
317
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:00,214
Mark Burik:
it can be a gimmick. Fans do love it.
318
00:36:00,312 --> 00:36:09,262
Mark Burik:
People love it, and I think they love it because to do something different that everybody else does, that seems like it should be out of control.
319
00:36:09,456 --> 00:36:12,706
Mark Burik:
But if you've got experience, it's not out of control.
320
00:36:12,828 --> 00:36:19,030
Mark Burik:
You can pop that thing super high and you could put it in eight, nine times out of ten if you've got the practice to do it.
321
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,342
Mark Burik:
But it's crazy and it's wild if you've never tried it before.
322
00:36:22,416 --> 00:36:23,302
Mark Burik:
And then you do it.
323
00:36:23,316 --> 00:36:33,780
Mark Burik:
Like when you see Phil Skyball on match point, on Stadium course we know that you've done this like seven times, right? So it's not crazy.
324
00:36:34,290 --> 00:36:37,909
Brandon Joyner:
Goofy foot approach, jump serve right to the sideline at 70 mph.
325
00:36:37,926 --> 00:36:43,694
Brandon Joyner:
I think that with the Skyball is I think it does appeal to the fans.
326
00:36:43,802 --> 00:36:48,310
Brandon Joyner:
And if you can get the fans on your side, if you win the crowd, you win your freedom.
327
00:36:49,950 --> 00:36:51,578
Brandon Joyner:
I think that that's a good statement.
328
00:36:51,614 --> 00:36:55,322
Brandon Joyner:
I forget when we were there, skyballing, skyballing.
329
00:36:55,406 --> 00:36:57,962
Brandon Joyner:
It was just single time you guys went back to serve.
330
00:36:58,046 --> 00:37:02,722
Brandon Joyner:
Not only was it, which obviously now the crowd is on your side, but you hit it.
331
00:37:02,796 --> 00:37:06,790
Brandon Joyner:
And if it goes in great, if it's like, all right, he lose a point just to make us happy.
332
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,430
Brandon Joyner:
So now go up and hit every time you get a block.
333
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:11,998
Brandon Joyner:
That's the guy who skyballed for us.
334
00:37:12,144 --> 00:37:17,858
Brandon Joyner:
And now you got out a bunch of people rooting for you,
335
00:37:18,014 --> 00:37:18,902
Mark Burik:
and you do get the extra high fives. Sometimes it depends.
336
00:37:18,926 --> 00:37:45,430
Mark Burik:
Like, are you out there for fun? Are you out there for the win or do you play better when there are fans watching? Now, you don't want to rely on attendance at your matches to perform, but if you want to get people coming and watching your match, you throw up a couple of early Skyballs and people would just look from across the beach and like, what the hell is going on over there? And you'll get a nice crowd.
337
00:37:46,290 --> 00:37:46,982
Mark Burik:
We can't lie.
338
00:37:47,006 --> 00:37:48,770
Mark Burik:
It's fun to play in front of a crowd.
339
Mark Burik:
00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:53,890
It's fun to see them OOH and AHHH and get those little tingles from seeing something cool.
340
00:37:54,060 --> 00:37:54,574
Brandon Joyner:
It's great.
341
00:37:54,612 --> 00:37:57,710
Brandon Joyner:
And I don't think I've ever done it in a tournament.
342
00:37:57,890 --> 00:37:59,662
Brandon Joyner:
Maybe that, but I've been lucky enough.
343
00:37:59,736 --> 00:38:03,586
Brandon Joyner:
It's so liberating with Jake Skyball as well.
344
00:38:03,648 --> 00:38:06,934
Brandon Joyner:
And something goes back to what you're saying about confident, let it go.
345
00:38:06,972 --> 00:38:08,854
Brandon Joyner:
If you're going to go for a Skyball, let it go.
346
00:38:08,892 --> 00:38:12,818
Brandon Joyner:
And that's somewhat of a joking way, but we got one guy ball.
347
00:38:12,854 --> 00:38:20,242
Brandon Joyner:
I'll usually look at either you or Jake if it doesn't count just to really try to get you guys to win, wine best.
348
00:38:20,316 --> 00:38:21,682
Brandon Joyner:
Have fun with it.
349
00:38:21,876 --> 00:38:26,210
Brandon Joyner:
I've definitely seen the confidence pay off, which is half the battle.
350
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:30,120
Mark Burik:
And if you could bring that to other players as well.
351
00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:39,806
Mark Burik:
I remember rooting for our buddy Shane Donohue, and he plays really well when he's confident and when he's stomping around the court.
352
00:38:39,998 --> 00:38:47,522
Mark Burik:
And I don't know if it's appropriate for the podcast here, but he was kind of tied, even neck and neck, but he was a little bit quiet.
353
00:38:47,546 --> 00:38:51,898
Mark Burik:
And I said, Shane, whip it out and show what you're working with.
354
00:38:52,044 --> 00:38:56,902
Mark Burik:
And he looked up and this fire came into his eyes.
355
00:38:57,036 --> 00:39:07,354
Mark Burik:
He was just like, you're right? So he stomped back and his pace changed and he just went back, hammered a couple of jump serves, and he came to me after that.
356
00:39:07,392 --> 00:39:28,318
Mark Burik:
He's like, if you didn't wake me up at that moment to say at some point, yes, strategy pays off long term, but at some point it's who is willing to go for it that's going to win it's who's just willing to out aggressive the other team and truly put it on the line.
357
00:39:28,464 --> 00:39:39,190
Mark Burik:
That's the person that's going to win when everything's all tied up, neck and neck, you can either choose to wait it out and play that strategy game, or you could say, I'm going full force right now and nothing stopping me.
358
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,806
Mark Burik:
And more people need to learn how to brace it.
359
00:39:41,808 --> 00:39:47,434
Mark Burik:
I think young players have that a lot, but they have that when they don't have anything else, right.
360
00:39:47,592 --> 00:39:49,478
Mark Burik:
Players don't have that strategy.
361
00:39:49,514 --> 00:39:57,026
Mark Burik:
They don't know what another player is going to do when they serve X, where they don't know how to think three or four points in advance.
362
00:39:57,158 --> 00:40:05,098
Mark Burik:
So young players, young guys will go out and from zero, they'll just start hammering serves, really? Because that's the only thing they have.
363
00:40:05,184 --> 00:40:07,142
Brandon Joyner:
But if they know, they're not going to get tired.
364
00:40:07,286 --> 00:40:07,810
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
365
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:21,550
Mark Burik:
And if you can combine that with a level of intelligence and strategy, so you know how to fight and then you know how to turn it on when it's crunch time, that's going to make Champions.
366
00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:27,610
Mark Burik:
So for everybody out there who's like in that tied situation, go for it.
367
00:40:27,660 --> 00:40:30,922
Mark Burik:
You're not going to regret going for it.
368
00:40:30,996 --> 00:40:34,022
Mark Burik:
You will regret like a 50% serve that you missed.
369
00:40:34,046 --> 00:40:48,300
Mark Burik:
And then you'll think, why did I go for it? Why didn't I just put it in? It's more glorious for sure to win when you know that you let loose, that you went after it and it feels good to win.
370
00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:54,646
Mark Burik:
Kind of going soft where you don't have full confidence, but whatever you choose, go for a full throttle at that moment.
371
00:40:54,708 --> 00:40:57,046
Mark Burik:
And if you lose, hey, you went for it.
372
00:40:57,048 --> 00:40:59,710
Mark Burik:
And would you go for it again? Yeah, because that's your best option.
373
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,100
Mark Burik:
You knew that was your best option at that moment.
374
00:41:03,150 --> 00:41:07,442
Mark Burik:
We want to give players confidence out there to go for it when it gets tight.
375
00:41:07,526 --> 00:41:08,026
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah.
376
00:41:08,148 --> 00:41:11,738
Brandon Joyner:
And that doesn't just for the sake of this podcast, since it is all about Skyball.
377
00:41:11,774 --> 00:41:13,142
Brandon Joyner:
It's supposed to be about Skyballs.
378
00:41:13,166 --> 00:41:15,530
Brandon Joyner:
That isn't only related to Skyballs.
379
00:41:15,710 --> 00:41:19,238
Brandon Joyner:
It's a game point of line, just about being aggressive.
380
00:41:19,394 --> 00:41:22,754
Brandon Joyner:
It could be a top start, but allowing a little bit of pressure.
381
00:41:22,802 --> 00:41:25,200
Brandon Joyner:
And to be honest, that's what you remember.
382
00:41:26,070 --> 00:41:29,546
Brandon Joyner:
I still remember the first year that I moved.
383
00:41:29,618 --> 00:41:38,834
Brandon Joyner:
I started playing semi pro and beach and I went down to Wilmington and in the finals, two sets.
384
00:41:38,882 --> 00:41:43,666
Brandon Joyner:
One the first set, second set down, 17 19, I think it was.
385
00:41:43,788 --> 00:41:49,316
Brandon Joyner:
And I went back to serve four Aces in a row to win 2019.
386
00:41:49,346 --> 00:41:55,020
Brandon Joyner:
And it wasn't the biggest tournament in the world.
387
00:41:55,590 --> 00:41:59,402
Brandon Joyner:
It was just a local tournament at Captain Bills, which I absolutely loved.
388
00:41:59,486 --> 00:42:07,306
Brandon Joyner:
But the fact that I kind of went back to the line and I was like, you know what, it's time to just go for it and see what happens.
389
00:42:07,488 --> 00:42:08,530
Brandon Joyner:
And it paid off.
390
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:12,586
Brandon Joyner:
And it's still one of probably my top five volleyball memories that I have.
391
00:42:12,648 --> 00:42:15,238
Brandon Joyner:
And it was just at a local tournament that I played in.
392
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:17,686
Brandon Joyner:
So it's really cool.
393
00:42:17,868 --> 00:42:18,394
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
394
00:42:18,492 --> 00:42:23,710
Mark Burik:
There's one thing that I will say about Skyballs to just sort of tie this in some kind of bun.
395
00:42:24,090 --> 00:42:29,758
Mark Burik:
It's not to get people to stare into the sun, right.
396
00:42:29,844 --> 00:42:31,150
Mark Burik:
It's really not.
397
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,034
Mark Burik:
And people should stop thinking about that.
398
00:42:33,072 --> 00:42:49,680
Mark Burik:
Like, oh, well, you have to look straight up into the sun for you to get the angle exactly correct so that the person who you're trying to serve is looking directly so that the ball is in front of their eyes and the sun.
399
00:42:50,370 --> 00:42:51,490
Mark Burik:
That doesn't make sense.
400
00:42:51,540 --> 00:42:52,378
Mark Burik:
It's not what happens.
401
00:42:52,464 --> 00:42:57,360
Mark Burik:
It might be a bonus if that lineup magically happens.
402
00:42:57,750 --> 00:43:01,490
Mark Burik:
But that's not why people are serving Skyfall.
403
00:43:01,670 --> 00:43:04,162
Mark Burik:
It's because it's coming down, it's moving fast.
404
00:43:04,236 --> 00:43:07,570
Mark Burik:
The higher you hit it up, the harder and faster it comes down.
405
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:13,478
Mark Burik:
And it's at a different angle with a different spin and a different trajectory than everything else that that person has passed.
406
00:43:13,574 --> 00:43:23,710
Mark Burik:
So it's trying to knock people out of their rhythm by showing them a ball that they have not seen, maybe ever or definitely infrequently.
407
00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:28,690
Mark Burik:
So let's get out of the Skybolt and get into the sun.
408
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,858
Mark Burik:
Ideal out there.
409
00:43:32,884 --> 00:43:33,758
Mark Burik:
But it's not that big.
410
00:43:33,844 --> 00:43:34,094
Brandon Joyner:
Yes.
411
00:43:34,132 --> 00:43:50,418
Brandon Joyner:
And for our thousands of listeners, I'm going to just share a quick little tip that was taught to me when I was I think I was just starting to play, but it was from
412
00:43:50,574 --> 00:43:51,470
Mark Burik:
Hudson and Hudson Bates, head coach at Ohio State University.
413
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,318
Brandon Joyner:
At Ohio State. Yeah, a long time.
414
00:43:53,404 --> 00:44:04,850
Brandon Joyner:
But he told me if you're a pastor that has trouble with Skyballs, most likely the reason you're having trouble is when you pass it, you're probably feeling that ball hits your fingers a lot or your thumbs.
415
00:44:05,290 --> 00:44:10,310
Brandon Joyner:
If you find yourself having that problem, then it has to do with where you're tracking the ball to.
416
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:18,246
Brandon Joyner:
And Hudson gave me a good queue is to imagine that you're lining up the Skyball to pass it on your shoulders.
417
00:44:18,378 --> 00:44:20,598
Brandon Joyner:
You should be able to find your platform a little bit easier.
418
00:44:20,694 --> 00:44:22,730
Brandon Joyner:
So that's my tip of the day.
419
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:23,594
Mark Burik:
Nice.
420
00:44:23,752 --> 00:44:24,700
Mark Burik:
Yeah, nice.
421
00:44:25,510 --> 00:44:29,694
Mark Burik:
And if you guys want to try some Skyballs, we do have a video on YouTube.
422
00:44:29,742 --> 00:44:32,970
Mark Burik:
Just go ahead and search Skyball better at beach.
423
00:44:33,030 --> 00:44:34,742
Mark Burik:
It should show up.
424
00:44:34,936 --> 00:44:38,202
Mark Burik:
And if it doesn't check like two or three pages in and make sure you click on ours.
425
00:44:38,226 --> 00:44:39,854
Mark Burik:
So the algorithm works in our favor.
426
00:44:39,952 --> 00:44:43,182
Mark Burik:
But we do have a video on how to Skyball.
427
00:44:43,266 --> 00:44:46,974
Mark Burik:
So go ahead and you can look at that for some advice.
428
00:44:47,022 --> 00:44:51,266
Mark Burik:
And I show you the float sky and we show you the forehand and the back end.
429
00:44:51,388 --> 00:44:53,102
Mark Burik:
But go for it.
430
00:44:53,176 --> 00:44:53,942
Mark Burik:
Have some fun with it.
431
00:44:53,956 --> 00:44:55,022
Mark Burik:
The sport is fun.
432
00:44:55,156 --> 00:44:56,186
Mark Burik:
It should be.
433
00:44:56,308 --> 00:45:06,006
Mark Burik:
And this can be a weapon for you and a nice little option to throw a little kink into the other players offense.
434
00:45:06,138 --> 00:45:08,022
Mark Burik:
So go for Skyball.
435
00:45:08,046 --> 00:45:11,634
Mark Burik:
We need to see some more creative things happening in beach volleyball.
436
00:45:11,682 --> 00:45:34,830
Mark Burik:
The last five years have been incredible for creativity in terms of blocking schemes, defensive schemes, jump setting option offense, and Adrian coming onto the world tour was huge for getting the conversation started on what is this Skyball? And I think people can really appreciate a player like his creativity and originality.
437
00:45:34,950 --> 00:45:37,322
Mark Burik:
And the sport welcomes that.
438
00:45:37,396 --> 00:45:52,086
Mark Burik:
And if you're a coach out there and you know that you have a creative player, give them opportunities to explore that, get them disciplined into certain techniques, but maybe not necessarily always the same style.
439
00:45:52,218 --> 00:46:00,582
Mark Burik:
See if you can allow them some time during practice to have fun, to make silly, crazy plays.
440
00:46:00,726 --> 00:46:01,730
Mark Burik:
See what they can do.
441
00:46:01,780 --> 00:46:03,686
Mark Burik:
See if they want to throw it into a game.
442
00:46:03,868 --> 00:46:05,066
Mark Burik:
The sport should be fun.
443
00:46:05,128 --> 00:46:11,150
Mark Burik:
And if you create the discipline first and you give them the principles, then they can operate around that.
444
00:46:11,260 --> 00:46:15,662
Mark Burik:
And that's where the sport progresses and we get some evolution of the game.
445
00:46:15,736 --> 00:46:15,974
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah.
446
00:46:16,012 --> 00:46:17,462
Brandon Joyner:
And it's just fun to watch.
447
00:46:17,596 --> 00:46:18,254
Brandon Joyner:
It really is.
448
00:46:18,292 --> 00:46:20,020
Brandon Joyner:
It just makes it more fun to watch.
449
00:46:20,650 --> 00:46:25,790
Brandon Joyner:
Ready for some questions? Are we good?
450
00:46:26,170 --> 00:46:30,618
Mark Burik:
Let's just give a couple of announcements for camps. So, guys, right now, of course, you can sign up for any one of our courses.
451
00:46:30,654 --> 00:46:31,730
Mark Burik:
We have passing course.
452
00:46:31,780 --> 00:46:32,810
Mark Burik:
We have a setting course.
453
00:46:32,860 --> 00:46:35,846
Mark Burik:
We have an attacking and arms swing course.
454
00:46:35,968 --> 00:46:39,974
Mark Burik:
All of these are recorded courses that you can take on betteratbeach.com.
455
00:46:40,012 --> 00:46:41,082
Mark Burik:
Just go to betteratbeach.
456
00:46:41,166 --> 00:46:43,626
Mark Burik:
comstore.
457
00:46:43,758 --> 00:46:52,926
Mark Burik:
If you want a thick shirt just like this, go to betteratbeach.com/shop and check out some of our swag.
458
00:46:53,118 --> 00:46:59,658
Mark Burik:
We have a camp coming up April 3 to 10th in Florida.
459
00:46:59,754 --> 00:47:05,378
Mark Burik:
We are planning on more camps the sooner you get on your email on our email list, the better it is for you.
460
00:47:05,404 --> 00:47:08,099
Mark Burik:
And you can get on our email list just by going to betteratbeach.com.
461
00:47:08,109 --> 00:47:11,438
Mark Burik:
And what happens when you get onto our email list? We send you a free drill book.
462
00:47:11,464 --> 00:47:14,522
Mark Burik:
It's got 36 essential drills for beach volleyball right off the bat.
463
00:47:14,656 --> 00:47:20,666
Mark Burik:
And then we send you a free lesson every week.
464
00:47:20,848 --> 00:47:32,054
Mark Burik:
Every week, we send you a free volleyball video lesson article, something that you can really use to get better and so that you know that it's a constant reminder of things coming there.
465
00:47:32,212 --> 00:47:37,058
Mark Burik:
So if you want to take part in a camp, the April 1 is sold out.
466
00:47:37,204 --> 00:47:40,790
Mark Burik:
But we might have some extra room if you're on our waiting list.
467
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,894
Mark Burik:
It's just we have to hire coaches in accordance with how many players we have.
468
00:47:44,992 --> 00:47:52,274
Mark Burik:
So if we don't have the number of players who are willing to commit, then we're not going to hire another coach to come out or train another coach, which is even more important.
469
00:47:52,372 --> 00:47:53,510
Mark Burik:
And clinics.
470
00:47:54,010 --> 00:47:56,342
Mark Burik:
We have a number of clinics coming up.
471
00:47:56,536 --> 00:47:58,242
Mark Burik:
We have one coming up in Santa Monica.
472
00:47:58,266 --> 00:48:00,110
Mark Burik:
We have one coming up in Ozark.
473
00:48:01,150 --> 00:48:06,066
Mark Burik:
We will be in New York in March or April.
474
00:48:06,198 --> 00:48:09,522
Mark Burik:
Salt Lake City will be in San Francisco this weekend.
475
00:48:09,606 --> 00:48:24,750
Mark Burik:
And if you want us to come to you and run a clinic for your facility, your team, a group of friends, all we need is a minimum twelve players committed for a full day, which is three, two and a half hour sessions.
476
00:48:24,810 --> 00:48:27,186
Mark Burik:
And it's 225 for the day per player.
477
00:48:27,258 --> 00:48:34,622
Mark Burik:
So if you can get twelve players to commit for seven and a half hours of training in one day, we can get at least one coach there.
478
00:48:34,696 --> 00:48:37,106
Mark Burik:
And then we can build upon that.
479
00:48:37,228 --> 00:48:48,112
And that means that, yeah, if you have a court in your backyard and you've got twelve players who want to get a full, hardcore day of training in, give us a call or email at [email protected].
480
00:48:48,142 --> 00:48:52,062
Mark Burik:
Or you could fill out the form on betteratbeach.
481
00:48:52,146 --> 00:48:55,014
Mark Burik:
com/clinics.
482
00:48:55,182 --> 00:49:02,946
Mark Burik:
And what's really people have been snapping up lately is our 50 plus practice plans for beach volleyball.
483
00:49:03,078 --> 00:49:04,686
Mark Burik:
So if you guys head to betteratbeach.compractice/plans,
484
00:49:04,758 --> 00:49:11,418
Mark Burik:
a lot of people have been enjoying our full two hour laid out practice plans.
485
00:49:11,454 --> 00:49:16,878
Mark Burik:
A lot of them have videos of the drills so that you don't have to translate it from the written version.
486
00:49:16,914 --> 00:49:19,802
Mark Burik:
You actually just see what the video looks like.
487
00:49:19,936 --> 00:49:23,522
Mark Burik:
You could show it to your players, show it to your buddies and say, let's do this one.
488
00:49:23,656 --> 00:49:27,114
Mark Burik:
And it's not just drills, but it's minute to minute practice plans.
489
00:49:27,222 --> 00:49:29,066
Mark Burik:
So we have all of that.
490
00:49:29,248 --> 00:49:35,682
Mark Burik:
And if you don't want any of that, just keep listening to our free podcast and checking out our YouTube channel and checking out our Instagram.
491
00:49:35,826 --> 00:49:39,402
Mark Burik:
And we will keep on providing some beach volleyball knowledge.
492
00:49:39,486 --> 00:49:40,041
Brandon Joyner:
I like it.
493
00:49:40,041 --> 00:49:40,482
Mark Burik:
It's yeah.
494
00:49:40,506 --> 00:49:41,080
Mark Burik:
Good.
495
00:49:45,830 --> 00:49:47,106
Brandon Joyner:
Ready for some questions.
496
00:49:47,228 --> 00:49:57,870
Brandon Joyner:
There's a person named Phil Williams who is watching, who commented and said, if you all do a camp here on the Emerald Coast the week before or after Fudge, it's a sellout.
497
00:49:58,730 --> 00:50:07,374
Brandon Joyner:
Phil, if you have a connection to somebody that is in charge of funds, I have tried to email them a couple of times.
498
00:50:07,472 --> 00:50:10,702
Brandon Joyner:
I have tried texting, I have tried Facebook messaging.
499
00:50:10,846 --> 00:50:20,370
Brandon Joyner:
We would love to come to Fudge, whether we run a weekend camp the week before or if we want to kind of roll it into the first couple of days.
500
00:50:20,420 --> 00:50:24,990
Brandon Joyner:
I know there's not a lot of tournaments, not tournaments on the first, I think Monday and Tuesday.
501
00:50:25,550 --> 00:50:27,498
Brandon Joyner:
But we would absolutely love to come there.
502
00:50:27,524 --> 00:50:29,754
Brandon Joyner:
And Mark and I plan on playing again this year.
503
00:50:29,912 --> 00:50:39,510
Brandon Joyner:
So, yeah, Phil, if you have anybody that I could reach out to directly or if you happen to be in charge of something that I could set up with you, that would be great.
504
00:50:39,620 --> 00:50:50,182
Brandon Joyner:
You can just email me at Brandon at betteratbeach.com not sure if you're still on Phil, but maybe I can reach out to you somehow.
505
00:50:50,326 --> 00:50:51,020
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
506
00:50:51,350 --> 00:50:53,706
Mark Burik:
Somebody wants us to do Southern Ohio again.
507
00:50:53,768 --> 00:50:57,454
Mark Burik:
We will be in Grandsons, I believe, in March.
508
00:50:57,562 --> 00:50:58,738
Mark Burik:
So if you head to betteratbeach.com/clinics,
509
00:50:58,774 --> 00:51:03,260
Mark Burik:
you could probably see our grandsons clinic will be up there.
510
00:51:03,950 --> 00:51:08,130
Mark Burik:
So we are coming to Cincinnati, aka Loveland, Ohio.
511
Mark Burik:
00:51:08,630 --> 00:51:09,366
All right. Question?
512
00:51:09,488 --> 00:51:15,054
Brandon Joyner:
when are you coming to Europe?
513
00:51:15,092 --> 00:51:16,590
Mark Burik:
I kind of want to go for St. Patrick's Day to Dublin.
514
00:51:18,110 --> 00:51:26,830
Mark Burik:
I mean, it wouldn't be a volleyball trip necessarily, but it would be cool to get a facility or a beach somewhere in Ireland and just say some high to some volleyball Bros.
515
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:27,378
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah.
516
00:51:27,464 --> 00:51:28,578
Brandon Joyner:
That would be fun.
517
00:51:28,724 --> 00:51:29,322
Mark Burik:
Yeah.
518
00:51:29,456 --> 00:51:29,790
Brandon Joyner:
Yeah.
519
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,402
Brandon Joyner:
I think with Europe, we plan on taking this thing worldwide.
520
00:51:34,546 --> 00:51:44,982
Brandon Joyner:
When traveling and getting people to different continents is not a headache where you get frustrated trying to figure out what you can and cannot do.
521
00:51:45,056 --> 00:51:54,320
Brandon Joyner:
So once the world starts to open back up a little bit more and people are allowed to travel a little bit freer, we plan on doing that.
522
00:51:54,710 --> 00:51:55,890
Brandon Joyner:
Scandinavia.
523
00:51:57,410 --> 00:51:59,134
Mark Burik:
We both played pro in Sweden.
524
00:51:59,182 --> 00:52:00,860
Mark Burik:
I played pro in Norway.
525
00:52:01,190 --> 00:52:01,986
Brandon Joyner:
Yes.
526
00:52:02,168 --> 00:52:04,270
Brandon Joyner:
I spent a little bit of time in Finland.
527
00:52:04,450 --> 00:52:05,382
Brandon Joyner:
We'll come back.
528
00:52:05,516 --> 00:52:07,460
Brandon Joyner:
I would love to come back.
529
00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:15,006
Brandon Joyner:
One of our buddies, Kyle friend, had a birthday last week and got tagged in our team photo from that year.
530
00:52:15,068 --> 00:52:17,134
Brandon Joyner:
And it just brought back a lot of really good memories.
531
00:52:17,182 --> 00:52:22,726
Brandon Joyner:
So I would love to come back to Stockholm or anywhere in Sweden and run Oslo.
532
00:52:22,798 --> 00:52:23,814
Brandon Joyner:
That would be amazing.
533
00:52:23,972 --> 00:52:25,714
