HUGE vertical jump gains for Caldwell University basketball player @danielboateng_
Up 4+ INCHES in 4 weeks from a high of 23.5 to now 27.5 here
Additionally, his 6 jump average went from 22.03 to a 26.3
Let’s what we did in just 4 weeks 🧵
Every September the Jets ask me to trust them again, and every September I say 'sure' like a guy lending money to his cousin.

Here’s 7 things you’re probably NOT doing to build your foot & ankles for hoopers 🦶
✅ Hops off two & one foot 2-3x/ week
✅ Expose ankle/foot to different contact angles
✅ Heavy isometrics
✅ Mobilize + train big toe
✅ Heavy eccentric loading
✅ Rope Walks
✅ Barefoot work
My NOT so hot take:
As a coach, I shouldn’t be able to tell what sport your programming for when I see your athlete in the weight room
Meaning, no fancy “sport specific” exercises, no ball or sticks attached to bands
Just:
1. Sprint FAST
2. Jump HIGH & FAR
3. Lift HEAVY
Simple and plain, IRON SHARPENS IRON!
Two of the most dominant bigs in that era of basketball competing day in and day out to get better
Same can apply to training, having a solid training partner can 10x your gains:
1. Race each other
2. Jump and make it a comp
3. Lift

However, it’s not because he’s a “better” athlete…
Let’s talk about this 🧵
