Jumping Programs

If you type in "jumping programs" in Google, you'll probably find over a million choices. How does anyone know which source is credible when they are seeking increased jumping?...

The old school way of doing things was doing things. The best way to improve jumping is to learn how to jump. This can be done by simply understanding how to develop momentum for the jump. In itself, this might be the most underated aspect of jump training; momentum rebound.

Momentum rebound is when you take a small jump before a big jump. You are giving momentum into the ground, taking it back, and exploding off the ground. Sometimes people go right into the jumping instead of understand the minor footwork details of momentum rebounds. Watch a basketball game and you'll see that little jump then the H U G E DUNK!

Afer that aspect of the training is understood, more doing is put into place. At the end of your daily skills take 10 maximum jumps at a backboardwith water on your hands. Take 3 steps for each jump. Do this drill every third day and increase 1 jump each time.
