Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

The plank position is the perfect preparatory exercise for basketball players looking to improve their vertical leap. By pushing your shoulders forward in the extended plank up, basketball players can develop a strong core which helps add power for their jumps. An improved core also leads to enhanced stability, aiding athletes increase their jump height even further. Practicing a regular plank routine will leave basketball players able to spring higher and with more grace than ever before!
