I’m trying to go to the next level (NFL). I weight 230 lbs and is 6’0" tall.
I’m in college now and I am a freshman.

I am going to be a freshman and tryouts are starting in about a month. I can touch a 10 foot rim 99% of the time and im 6’1. i want to be able to dunk by try-outs because it could be the deciding factor on wether or not i make the team. i have no money and i just need a 4-5 in gain.Can anyone help?

I am a freshman and will be a sophmore next year playing football for J.V. I have hurt both my hamstrings and trying to get them better also i am trying to become a better athlete. I’ve heard plyometrics help you run faster, jump higher, and hit harder, and also strengthen ur muscles and stretch them out. I plan on doing Plyometrics over the summer but was hoping to know how well it works or if it helps at all…..also im going to try to do it for 2 months.

I am a generous 6ft, 148 pounds. Without any real training besides jumping around randomly in basketball practice, i can jump and grab rib very easily. I still could not touch rib with both hands though. For the first time a few days ago, i jumped and grabbed rim with both hands and not only touched, but was able to hang. i have not really tried any programs or had much of a structured workout so i feel like with some help, my vertical jump could increase a lot. I also, for the first time, did track and field this year as a freshman. I do long jump, trip. jump, high jump, and hurdles. Without any previous long jump experience at all or even a pit to practice in outside of meets, i won the confrence meet which i was extremely happy about. I would like to think i am naturally very athletic. I breifly tried air alert and did see a crazy increase in my vertical jump after only a few days but my knees began to hurt. Some advice would be much appreciated. I am really trying to work on dunking and i want to keep on long jumping. Also, between the two sports and offseason training i dont have much free time.

By the way, i’m a freshman and still growing, right now i reach 9 feet easily, but i would like to gain more inches on my jump and have more hang time.
