Three weeks later and some ankle work, he hit 31”. But, being an explosive athlete he still jumped 25”. And he jumped with his back and used very little legs. A good athlete and a better hurdler came in for an assessment. He started at 24 and progressed to 36 as shown in the videos below.Īnd this is where you end up when you put it all together.Īnother athlete was a quick fix. This is a progression of the first athlete. He started at 24 inches, and his last jump before leaving for college was 36.5”. This is where the big drive came from to get a big jump. As a 6’1 guard, he needed to turn heads to get the attention he needed to move on to the next level. With an extensive amount of work to his hips, we finally got to the point where he could get his body lined up to jump in a vertical fashion. With his shins twisting, it was difficult to get lateral stability that created the issue of getting a stable base from which to jump. His biggest issue was his tibial torsion. He started at a younger age and would come and go with his extensive basketball schedule. The first athlete was more of a long play. And ankle rocker is where I have athletes that are picking up inches quickly. Ankle rocker has 44,000, most of which deal with rocking chairs and other things that have nothing to do with the function. A Google search has 44 million listings to improve your vertical jump. Anyway, in the internet world of jumping, I did a Google search. In hindsight, they were not a good idea for me. I will never forget the first couple days I had them, and I was young, I jogged a couple of miles in them. From a recruitment pattern, your calves become the driver, and you lose out on glutes and hamstrings. Your calves can only get so big and strong. You do add inches and increase your speed, but it becomes a law of diminishing returns. As I learned more, I realized how some of these books or even tools could become detrimental. A good recent one is Joel Smith’s Vertical Foundations.Įventually, it became fun to see some crazy ideas. The program would work great for Jordan but no one else. Michael Jordan’s coach put a book out that was just plain bad. There were many in between and many more that were just plain bad. It had a good mix of exercises and a sound progression. Kelly Baggett had the first one that I thought was good. If you want to sell, you have to have a vertical jump program. The internet world of athletic training is built on these dreams. Dreams of entering the NBA dunk contest are always in the back of player’s mind, and the 5’7 Spud Webb only encouraged everyone’s dreams. Once an athlete has broken “the dunk barrier”, they get creative, one-hand, two-hand, tomahawk, one step, two legs, reverse. Sometimes the response is I can get rim or can dunk a tennis ball. Every little kid always asks the older high school athlete if they can “slam”. It seems that is part of the right to athletic manhood. Every basketball junkie has dreams of dunking over their opponent on the court.
