Virtually everyone in the non-leaper category believes in their heart of hearts that they will never have a big vertical jump, regardless of their dreams or aspirations. For those who have never gotten the memo, understand that belief is an incredibly powerful force. For instance, for those who firmly believe that they will never win the lottery actually never do. But the dirty little secret to that self-fulfilling prophecy is revealing. Although a bit extreme, that example is emblematic of the power of belief. Guaranteed.

Should you get into a quality vertical jump development program, the increase in your jump reach will be a minimum of ten inches. That’s right, close to a one foot higher vertical. First and foremost you will need the proper training techniques. Good vertical programs are not about endurance, they are about the development of explosive power. Proper training includes rest and recovery.

Such training also includes nutrition and correct form along with a number of other key factors. Remember that without belief there will be no success.
