Coach Dan Speaks:

Training basketball players on the elevated platform is a popular exercise that helps enhance vertical leaping abilities. By dropping down from the platform to the floor and quickly jumping up to plyometric box, basketball athletes are able to hone their leaping capabilities in a dynamic way. This type of workout involves 4 sets of basketball-specific movements, with 4-5 reps requiring intense focus and quick movement. Once completed, athletes should take between 1-2 mins to rest in order to gain strength for the next set. It’s an effective depth jump 2 system that can increase basketball physiological power and optimize overall performance.
