As long as you can toss it up the way you like, the serves will go in. I often take moments to think about serving techniques.

He was the squad\u2019s youngest at age 19 and the tournament\u2019s Best Opposite.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the match against Russia was a good, memorable match, as it was a good opportunity for us to see how we play against a team with height. It was true that my condition was great during the World Cup, but I will still try to level up more to get more attention from the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nishida always had a vision for bigger things and took advantage of every opportunity that came his way.<\/p>\n<p>Now 20, he is not just visualising himself playing for the national team, he has already struck the balance between fitting in and standing out and conquering along with the team\u2019s other stars.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56425\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-15.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-15-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-15-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><em>Best Opposite Yuji Nishida (Japan) awarded by President of Japan Volleyball Association Kenji Shimaoka<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people could take inspiration from my story because at such a young age, I was given an incredible chance to play for the Japan men\u2019s national team. I took advantage of this opportunity and achieved significant results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone could learn from this story as there are plenty of challenges and opportunities that come to our daily and sporting lives. If you can imagine gaining success, even just a little, then you should go for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince playing for the national team, I have been greatly influenced by (Yuki) Ishikawa and (Masahiro) Yanagida.

He reached out to me and gave me confidence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Getting attention from a player like Ivan challenges me to do more and get better. I can&#8217;t even compare my career to his and it&#8217;s not like I have spoken to him much, but he is a role model who makes me feel confident and someone I really respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nishida was just four years old when he found his calling to play volleyball and his skills were soon far more advanced than those of kids his age. Time has passed and he has achieved a great deal, but his gratitude for his success remains sincere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been playing volleyball since I was four years old and it was my siblings who influenced me. In the first grade of elementary school, I learned how to jump serve. In high school, I used to watch and admire Yanagida and Ishikawa, so I trained hard every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we are all playing and working hard together in the national team to achieve the best results for our country. I am very grateful for the support of all the people around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nishida likes to observe people and enjoys the same things people his age do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019m very observant. I enjoy observing people around me not only in volleyball but also in my everyday life. Besides volleyball, I enjoy shopping. On my days off, I like shopping for clothes, food and all other kinds of things to recharge myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also likes Haikyu!!.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, I have watched all the episodes of the manga series. As a volleyball player, there are a lot of moments in Haikyu!! that I can relate to and be drawn to. Also, it is the manga which made me see sport from a different perspective to understand it better, so it is surely one of my favourite mangas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He is just like the rest of us, except that he jumps really, really high.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56426\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1180\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5-12.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5-12-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5-12-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5-12-768x911.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/5-12-600x712.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan\u2019s Yuji Nishida is only 20 but all signs point to stardom with his impressive performances After making a promising debut in 2018 that built momentum to a breakout season&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":56421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[100,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-slider","category-volleyball-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
