#ThrowbackVideo When doing STRENGTH work for building qualities of athleticism that could translate to better single leg jumping, it’s important to incorporate exercises for both the ANTERIOR Chain and POSTERIOR Chain focused muscle groups!
I like to focus on anti-rotational stability for the CORE along with MEDICINE BALLS to work on producing rotational force, as well as working on transferring power off the ground and up the kinetic chain and for force absorption!
MOVEMENT such as max effort pprint work, both acceleration & top end speed, can be very helpful for helping with single leg jumping capabilities. Proper unilateral focused PLYOMETRICS help with stability in each leg along with abilities to absorb and produce force!
The (not so) SECRET SAUCE to having all of this translating to better one foot bounce is to get more comfortable flying around by intentionally jumping off of each foot with maximum effort!
I ALWAYS encourage my athletes to work on jumping off of each leg as much as possible for good jump balance whether it’s in their own workouts, layup lines or after practice/workouts when your legs are feeling really springy! Even if you can’t dunk on a 10 ft. Hoop, you can work on your hops on a low rim if you have access to one. Max effort intentional jumps go A LONG way when it comes to becoming a better dunker!
