Can we talk about this moment in season 2? I feel like it is majorly overlooked how strongly Kageyama values practice and hard work and dedication.
He was genuinely confused when Hinata seemed to be scared of Hyakuzawa (the 2 metre tall guy), because in his opinion, if Hinata had trained hard enough, there was no reason for him to be scared of anyone. Kageyama is one of the few people who has never dismissed Hinata because of his height and this is one of the reasons why—he believes in honing of skills through hard work and dedication more than he believes in inherent physical attributes one might possess. According to Kageyama, Hinata was always bound to beat Hyakuzawa simply because he had worked for it.
This is why Kageyama is always so confident on the court. He believes in his abilities because he has trained relentlessly to sharpen them—there is simply no reason to doubt himself if he has put in the effort that was required. It's actually bit similar to Kita's ideology.
The thing to take away from Kageyama's story is not that he is a volleyball genius, but the fact that he is a volleyball genius because he took the efforts to become one. It did not happen overnight.
This is also why he respects Hinata at the end of the day, because Hinata's willing to work just as hard as him to achieve what he wants. This is why I think Kageyama also fully supported him in his decision to go to Brazil too—because it aligns so well with his core principles.
Kageyama made Hinata believe that he's not lesser than anyone, that there's no reason for him to be insecure or scared of stronger players—because if he's committed to becoming the best, there's nobody who can stop him.
And for Hinata, Kageyama was always the living proof of this.

I always really liked this convo bc not only does it primarily serve as yet another moment emphasizing hinata's passion for volleyball, but it also helps foreshadow osamu's future career choice and in general flush him out more. It draws a parallel between Hinata and osamu's passion for things they love. Osamu is able to understand how Hinata feels Abt volleyball bc it's the same way he feels Abt food sjcoshofsjic
Ik I sort of just stated the obvious lol but I'm still hung up on this bc I love samu yk :')
