Max vertical leap

Coach Dan Speaks:

Improving basketball shooting and overall game performance begins on the court with one move: a player’s vertical leap. It starts by prepping the muscles needed for agility and explosive power — activities such as jump rope and bodyweight drills are great options. Once players gain momentum and power, they can work towards gaining superior height and reach during basketball drills. With consistency and repetition of these basketball-oriented exercises, a player’s max vertical leap can be gradually improved with time and effort. From there, basketball shooting will appear easier as well as other basketball movements become more precise from additional reach from the increased leaping ability. Focus on developing your vertical jump to improve your basketball game even further.
