Tips to Jump Higher

By Charles Nash

I'm going to talk to you about some tips to jump higher. This can be a really great advantage for all the basketball players out there. I know the number one reason is the ability to dunk, but there is a boatload of other reasons to achieve it. When you can jump higher, you just have a way of properly shooting baskets. It also gives you a huge advantage in the defensive aspects of the game and the last reason is the speed that comes along with jumping higher. I'll show you exactly what you need to know to be successful with your jumping.

Tip One: You should definitely be warming up before you start to attempt any sort of jumping higher exercises. The reason is that you can really cause damage that will slow down your progress. Often it is the damage you don't notice and than you wonder why things aren't working. If you warm up, your muscle fibers are less likely to get damaged.

Tip Two: You have to be explosive when you workout your calves. You can't do it slowly because that doesn't give you the right feel. When you jump, you put in a lot of push and the more explosive you are with your training, the more you can explode off the floor when you actually do it.

Tip Three: If you're not getting the proper food into your body, than you can't expect proper growth and strengthening of the muscles you've trained to jump higher. I know a lot of people just focus on the exercises, assuming those are the bread and butter of jumping higher, but it's just as important to provide the nutrition, so the work done during those exercises give results.
