how to fly like MJ off of a sprint...

A lot of jumpers today can fly from a slow gallop.  But i've found it very hard to take off when sprinting full speed (single leg jump obv) because the momentum is going forward so much its hard to go up.

What kind of training would help gather your strength while running ahead full speed?
33yrs | 24in SVJ | >45% BF | 227LB | 5'9 | 7'5 reach | 400lb max squat paused | 5'8 wingspan | 26in RVJ

Coming back from 2 years of inactivity!

Goal: Maintain 385-405lb squat while cutting down to 165 LB

Just getting stronger especially with single leg exercises like heavy step-ups, lunges, bulgarian split squats etc. This has really helped me still be able to jump high off of one leg and dunk during games even though I've put on 30lbs since I played competitive basketball in high school. If anything when I'm in jumping shape, I'm jumping higher now than I was then. I will say though that I have been always trying to jump high off of one leg since I was like 10 years old so it comes pretty naturally to me.
