I often get e-mails from many aspiring high school and college athletes out there regarding how to max out on the vertical jump. Over the past two combine seasons I have had over 6 athletes test out over 40" in the Vertical Jump, including the highest ever Vert for a DE at the NFL Combine (42" Mark Anderson).
A great vertical is twofold, you need to master each of the two components: the reach and the jump. Both take skill to master and refine, leading to a great result.
The Reach is critical to you putting up a great score. In my Combine Freak DVD (www.combinefreak.com) I show how to execute the proper reach techniques that will add 4-5" on to your vertical jump.
The Jump mechanics need to be perfect to ensure you are maximizing your explosive power. Often athletes are too mechanical, firing the arms or legs at different times. When jumping you need to get everything firing together to generate maximal force from the floor. Again, my Combine Freak DVD (www.combinefreak.com) teaches you the proper jump mechanics so you can explode through the air.
A high vert takes time and practice. If you commit to the right technique for both the reach and the jump, you too can become one of my Combine Freaks!!!!!
If you have yet to become a Freak, get on the right track www.combinefreak.com
Jump High!
