Every basketball junkie has dreams of dunking over their opponent on the court. It seems that is part of the right to athletic manhood. Every little kid always asks the older high school athlete if they can “slam”. Sometimes the response is I can get rim or can dunk a tennis ball. Once an athlete has broken “the dunk barrier”, they get creative, one-hand, two-hand, tomahawk, one step, two legs, reverse. Dreams of entering the NBA dunk contest are always in the back of player’s mind, and the 5’7 Spud Webb only encouraged everyone’s dreams.
The internet world of athletic training is built on these dreams. If you want to sell, you have to have a vertical jump program. There are thousands you can buy. Kelly Baggett had the first one that I thought was good. It had a good mix of exercises and a sound progression. There were many in between and many more that were just plain bad. Michael Jordan’s coach put a book out that was just plain bad. The program would work great for Jordan but no one else. A good recent one is Joel Smith’s Vertical Foundations.
