Increase Vertical Jump Training

First Steps Needed Before You Start Your Increase Vertical Jump Training
Before you attempt to start your training exercises to increase your vertical, these three steps are necessary. 
They can be summarized as one, Set Realistic but Challenging Goals, two, Design a workout plan, and three, Take Action on what you have planned.  
In order to see real change or improvement in anything, these steps are a great place to start.

Set Realistic Challenging and Measurable Specific Goals
When you set your goals, they need to be specific, measurable, realistic and challenging. For some, this might be a reasonable goal. When setting goals, keep in mind your current fitness level, and how much time you are willing to spend in training.

Sample Goal:
I want to increase my vertical jump by 10″in twelve weeks.

As you can see, this is specific, the progress can be measured, and could be both realistic and challenging for some athletes.  Some athletes who have a good fitness level might set a more challenging goal like doubling their vertical in 10 weeks.

Some poor examples might be:  I want to jump higher, I want to slam dunk a basketball.

 Even though slam-dunking is great incentive to keep training, it is better to set specific and measurable goals. 
For example, if you know you are 9″ from touching the rim, your goal should be increasing your vertical by 14″ to insure you will be able to dunk. 
You can measure this progress, and reaching this goal results in dunking.

Design A Workout Plan
In future lessons, I will give you ideas on setting up a good plan.  For now, you just need to know some kind of plan is required.  Successful people from all walks of life have this in common; they all had a plan or strategy in mind to follow.  It is best to have your plan written down and reviewed regularly, so you can keep focused on what your created plan.

Implement Your Created Plan
Once you have a goal and have created a workout plan then ALL you need to do is Do it!
Eliminate all excuses, sacrifice, and get an accountability partner.  Change is never easy, but when you accomplish your goals, it will be worth it!

For best results, keep track of your initial performance, workout statistics and on-going performance.
With this information you can make the decision to alter your plan to make it easier or harder based on your initial goal constraints and how you are coming along in accomplishing it.
