Watching him jump right before a volleyball session actually makes me jump higher. It's a lot about the attitude and the aggressive intent to jump high that really gives you the extra power.
One thing that happens sometimes in volleyball is that you deccelerate if the set is slower than you thought. I find it's important to be patient with my approach, so that any adjustment will be speeding up not slowing down.
Great video! How about showimg one of your demonstrations in slow-motion? And explain again when we can see it more detailed? Just an idea.. I love your content keep going man!
Tyler this is awesome content man - you're doing great things for the jumping community, so thank you for all your amazing advice. This video in particular helped me put an inch on my jump in a month, which is pretty mind blowing when you consider that my last inch took a year to materialize.
This is the perfect video to improve my jumping technique. I usually do hop step before jumping which doesn't allow me to explode and jump high and i get mostly blocked. Thanks for this.
Excellent video, you could make a video about foot to butt method... what is its importance and function in the jump? And how to do it? I play volleyball in the Brazilian national team and sada Cruzeiro U19 and I follow and admire your work very much... congratulations
@@matiasprovensi8919 I have yet to read anything definitive on the subject, but my best guess is in some cases the hamstrings will respond to the stretch-shortening cycle with an aggressive contraction, causing the legs to hinge at the knees. In volleyball, the legs being brought back is more of an attacking necessity to create additional arm swing velocity. Hope that helps!
just had a thought that maybe using dorsiflexion could help get you in a stacked position rather than not having ankles out of line? i came by this idea because in my technique I'm trying to fix, i load like i am in a chair rather than staying stacked, and i remember how in squats they tell you to push through your heels. could this be right?
Rotation through the plant sequence allows for a more efficient use of our mechanics. Completely sideways is not ideal either, but you will see athletes (myself included) that use a great deal of speed and a tendon driven jump style to jump their highest. That will require more rotation than a contractile dominant or strength based jumper. Thanks for the comment.
@@jumpguyty Nobody ever seems to mention being sideways. I always try to jump forwards. So I should hit the plant foot first and then the next foot to hit the ground should be slightly ahead/staggered relative to the plant foot… and to whatever degree that naturally turns me sideways is how sideways I should be? Or should I think to turn sideways a bit?
@@JulesLife all I would do is think about your plant foot being turned out just slightly. If it was a clock turn it to either 1 or 11 depending on what your footing is. Your body should naturally rotate a bit to compensate. Don't focus on trying to go sideways, simply let the natural rotation of your body take over.
