My goal is to be dunking at the end of the year. The hops really brought attention in because no one expected me to jump that high. I just wanna say what an incredible journey you’ve had 🔥 I will not take my hops for granted✊🏽

    I'm 6'3 w/shoes on and I have a 6'5 wingspan with an 8ft standing reach I can do some pretty cool dunks after about a few years of weight training, core strengthening, learning that I'm a two foot jumper not a one foot jumper, and practicicing two foot jump form all eventually led to me throwing down some dope dunks ... I know I'm relatively tall but this did take alot of hard work and consistency. BEST TIPS I HAVE ... PRACTICE VERT JUMP, DO SQUATS AND CALVE RAISES FOR LEGS, AND DO AS MUCH CORE WORK AS POSSIBLE ! CORE STRENGTH HELPS MORE WITH VERT THAN LEG STRENGH.

    And growing up i was always scared of the big orange ball and i never got to touch one until 6th grade, now that i'm in 8th i found basketball a fun sport and wanted to try it out, but its people who watch me fail at it keep me down, i didnt want to join their game because i am afraid that i might mess their game up. Right now i am still a dreamer and i just hope that i wont stay like that forever.

      2spooky • 4yiu Basketball should be a fun experience for everybody. You don’t have to be the best player on the court to have a good time! Grab a basketball and go meet up with some friends or even make new ones by just going to play! If they’re nice people, they’ll never keep you away from playing and you’ll be able to get better while practicing with them! Never be afraid to play the game the world loves🏀

    Wow, so impressed, Im 6 feet now that Im 21and I can dunk but I was a short guy throughout my life which didn't help me at all in basketball but when my couch told me to practice at home or at the gym my vertical jump, things changed, I never thought that I could get the results I was getting in a month period. It was my mindset too that blocked me and I wasnt motivated to train my self. Everyone out there reading this, be consistent, never give up something you started cause we stop when we are done and work in silence, impress everyone with your RESULTS, not the talking.

    Hi I’m nearly 5ft 7 at 15 with a 7ft standing reach
    and can just touch backboard how do you jump properly to maximise vertical and is there a set way for someone with my physique to jump

    • @SkighAthletics
      @SkighAthletics  4 роки тому +5

      Soulja Truce Regardless of physique, you have to figure out if you’re more comfortable jumping off two feet or off of one. If it’s two, I have a playlist on my channel about how to jump properly off of two feet with a full approach!

      @@trixcfw2087 no sorry I haven't seen the comments just turned 16 and my verticals hanging around 26-29 inches, getting ever closer but I've only skimmed a double rim once on a hoop somewhat above 10 feet, I can pin stuff off the backboard now though. Good luck to you

      @@SkighAthletics Thank you for the reply, I'm checking them rn, but I know I go an inch or two higher off one foot are two foot jumps more stable?

      @@souljatruce1151 I'm not sure if stable is the correct term to use but it may feel easier and more consistent for some people - all depends on preference! Pick one and run with it or work them all at the same time!

    I can grab rim without a running start, so just off vert, but I can only to basic rim grazer dunks, and I’m very inconsistent.
