Did you know that jumping higher is a skill that can be learned? If you learn the proper jumping techniques and practice them, your vertical leap can improve dramatically. I don’t know how many times I have been on the basketball court and I see a guy who is so close to dunking but he just can’t seem to throw it down.
These guys try to dunk time after time using the same approach, the same mis-steps, and the same form, getting THE SAME RESULT……a missed dunk! If they would just take the time to make a few simple adjustments in their jumping form they would be able to get the extra inches they need to throw it down. Believe it or not changing your form and implementing the PERFECT jumping technique can increase your vertical by 3-6 inches! So what is the perfect jumping form…..let’s take a look.
Listed below I have the 7 steps to a perfect jump. Remember this is just a brief summary of jumping form but all the steps are there. If you would like more in-depth information on increasing your vertical jump go tohttp://ift.tt/1PSrezY and the links I have listed at the bottom of the page.
1. Warm Up – Make sure you run around a little and get your muscles warm. This will increase the elasticity of your muscles and joints and increase your blood flow as well.
2. Stretch – It’s sounds boring but it is necessary. Stretching will further increase the elasticity of your muscles which is what we want.
3. Eliminate Mental Blocks – You need to have the mindset that you are going to muster up all the potential you have in your body. Don’t let failure be an option! Visualize yourself successfully completing the jump.
4. Exaggerate The Last Step – This will lower the body and prepare you for exploding up.
5. Use the Whole Body – Use your arms and lower back to propel yourself in a synchronous upward motion. Point your toes slightly upward toward your knees just before explosion to allow for a full range of motion.
6. Transfer Your Momentum – Allow your forward momentum to be successfully transferred upward without slowing or stopping before you take off.
7. Be Quick – You must perform these movements quickly in order to allow all your momentum to fluidly transfer upward and increase your vertical. Going too slow, shuffling your feet, or over-exaggerating the last step will throw off the synchronization of the movement.
I hope this brief overview of the proper jumping technique will help you bring your vertical jump to new heights. If you would like to learn more about how YOU can increase your vertical leap then check out the links I have below:
