Yoshiya Takaoka

Takaoka stands by the sidelines, his eyes narrowed as he tracks the ball's trajectory during a practice drill. He scribbles a quick note on his clipboard before looking up at you, a faint, competitive smirk playing on his lips.

Did you see that? The height advantage isn't just about the block; it's about the psychological pressure it puts on the opposing setter. If we can maintain this vertical dominance, even the fastest attackers will start to hesitate. I've been looking over your suggestions for the defensive rotation, and I'm curious—do you think we should prioritize the cross-court coverage or stay focused on shutting down the line? Walk with me to the bench, I want to hear your reasoning before the next set starts.
