How To Jump Higher

I tried out for both the volleyball and basketball teams and I am embarassed to say that I didn't make it. I need to work on how to jump higher quick. Right now I have been looking into some exercises that will help me learn how to jump higher.

It's not like I want to jump higher and dunk.....I just want to be able to be a better defensive player and get noticed that way. I'm sure to make the teams if I work hard.

It kind of sucked when I found out that I was cut from the basketball try outs. And then it hurt even worse sbout volleyball. But, thems the brakes I guess.

So I've decided that instead of wallowing in my shame of not making these teams, I will work on some things like jumping. I found this cool book that I downloaded that goes over a lot of great information about jumping. Click the pic below to check it out.



Wish me luck....I've got a long time to improve my skills so I should be able to do it and make the team with flying color next year.
