tall players are usually good for volleyball, yeah, but they're not the rule of thumb. lev, one of the freshmen on my team, he's at 194.3 cm (6' 4.5") last week.
he's growing like a tree, though. he's not done branching up yet.
it's pissing off our libero, he he he.
you're taller than someone i know, though. he's the freakiest speediest player i know.
[ a link to hinata spiking during the inter-high qualifiers. ]
camera didn't even catch the actual moment he hit the ball, that's how fast he is.
dont WANT to be taller, dumbass. thats more mass i have to control
i can do everything i want right now
except punch fucking jj in the fucking face
[He does not immediately answer the offer over playing volleyball because... what? Look, he's not quite aware of the 'playing things for fun and not blood' aspect of being a teenager. Give him time.]
[ among other things, kuroo guesses, like growing pains and height, but he thinks the weight is the most crucial part of yuri's issues with growing up. ]
you know what, when you get here. remind me to introduce you to yakkun. he knows all the ways to bend tall people low enough for him to punch in the face.
you make it sound like fucking prima donna shit but its GODDAMN NOT FUNNY
even a couple of pounds could fuck EVERYTHING up
[Look what happened to Katsudon, geeze. Yuuri can get his body to do exactly what he wants. The idea of it changing, growing out of his control? It's scary, okay?]
whoah, that's not what i meant at all. believe me, i get it.
extra weight and height fucks up your balance. your timing. even the way you move has to change with the excess. honestly, i really do get it. it's happening with one of my players too.
[ lev is a different case, certainly, but it's the same set of problems: the length, the speed, the weight, all of these things rapidly changing at a rate that his training can't keep up with. the "future ace" already edged up a quarter of an inch in two weeks; his body's not done wrecking havoc on him yet.
kuroo can guess how much worse it'll be for someone in yuri's place. ]
i figured he would be, given what little of it he still has. how OLD is he? why are you hanging out with grandpas???
[ Kuroo can see the appeal in the fluidity of this Viktor's movements, and there's a certain type of grace in his appearance that looks natural, but Kuroo also spends days exposed to Bokuto's and Akaashi's combined presence - he's immune to the gracefully forceful look by now. ]
[Yuri snorts at that mental image, but feels the need to clarify. Viktor IS the reason he trains where he does, gave him Agape. Yuri would not have gotten this far without his support. Even if he is a total airhead FLAKE.]
some people BELONG exactly where they are? like they were born for it
thats viktor on the ice
i will skate until i drop and destroy every single one of his records watch me

it's so annoying to defend against (how do you defend against something you can't catch in the first place), but it's really impressive
you're the same age too, i think. shorties in sports are scary in their own way.
