Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Basketball players who’re looking to increase their vertical leap should definitely add lunge knee ups to their training routine. Starting in a lunge position with one foot forward, basketball players can make a powerful swing of the back leg, generating power and momentum as they bring up their knee. Doing this for 30 seconds on each leg will help basketball players strengthen their legs so they can jump higher and be quicker on the court when it matters most.
