I think we could come will all kinds of ideas, but maybe the best thing you can do is to actually jump at a rim right now. Maybe lower rims. A rim that allows you to dunk two handed and work your way up to 10 feet.

Also, if you're so good at sprinting (as demonstrated by your sprint time for 100m) then it's maybe a matter of converting horizontal power into vertical displacement off one leg.

i thought you did great considering how much lower you were jumping than normal.. regarding our convo on live chat, nightfly needs to warmup way better.. need to get in much more dunks 10-12 or so during the warmup part of contest it seems, and really move around alot more powerfully, no sluggish movements.. sometimes part of waking oneself up is simply "acting awake".. if you hunch over/walk around slow, it can have a pretty bad effect on how much force you can create.. gotta walk around boss and powerful even if you feel like shit..

AMEN! 100% agree. You need to be NASTY and WARM (your skin should burn of desire and "hunger"). The problem is - sometimes you just don't have it.

One thing I kind of do is to create a war in my body... like I literally voluntarily do that "fire" inside sometimes. You have to look at the rim and just think of all the work you put in to be there and think "hey, I deserve to be here, I have to break this fucking rim in half".

But, again, sometimes it doesn't work. The thing is to try this every time you do it so you can do it voluntarily from a point on.

Also, when you can't change the athlete's angle you change the running surface's angle. That will train acceleration and the digging phase better (start of the sprint).

Exactly, when I first saw that, I was like "hey that's pretty much a half squat". That's definitely lower than 1/4. 1/4 is barely moving at all.

I felt it was lower than quarter... 1/3 would fit to what I thought.

Just in case you weren't aware of it. Discuss in here whatever you feel it's relevant to the subject.
