Whether it is in practice or training in the weight room, balance plays an important role in both sports performance and injury reduction.

Jumping High Up The Incline

Today we are featuring a new exercise to help push our athletes to the next level in jumping higher. We are using a super stretchy and soft bungee chord tied off and anchored to the ground. This exercise is done either single leg or double leg. Making sure we are getting the same amount of reps on the left leg as the right leg. Our goal each set is to get 5 or 6 jumps in while working our way up the incline to have our maximal jump on the last rep. With the bungee there are also foam pieces that we are able to slide up the bungee to help our athletes have a goal on how high up the incline they want to go.
