Jump Higher




One of the best drills you can do to improve your jumping
ability is basic Tuck Jumps. You need to be able to direct and deliver all of your power and force. Controlled Power. Just like when you perform the bench press, you do not want any wasted motion with hips coming off the bench or bouncing the weight off your chest. You want to be able to touch and go and prove that you own the weight. You want the same effect with tuck jumps. Pretend that you have a circle around your feet. You want your feet to land within that circle. Bring your knees in to your chest. We will start with level 1, see how many consecutive tuck jumps you can perform. Your knees must be towards your chest and your feet cannot be on the ground longer than 1 second.
