Jump Training - McGyver It

Growing up, I looked for constraints to improve performance. Tape on glasses stopped looking down while dribbling. Nails driven into a baseball added weight. Winter gloves took away "feel" while shooting, requiring more concentration and targeting.

Your training is your responsibility. Your coachability is your responsibility. Own your skill building, video study, and your physical development. 

1. Do single leg squats propping your back foot onto steps. 

2. Jump over a stack of newspapers or a few pillows. 

3. Jump against a wall trying to set your personal best 'spike touch'

4. Do a variety of squats while holding something heavy like reference books. 

5. Broad jump for distance and do power skips for distance. 

What limits us is not our will but our imagination.
