Ep. 11- Debunking The Biggest Jump Training Myths
Welcome to the Athlete Blueprint Podcast!
For today's episode, we will be taking a deep dive into one of my favorite topics, Jump training! More specifically, we will be debunking some common jump training myths!
This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I have worked extensively w/ court sport athletes (volleyball, basketball) and I have noticed glut of misinformed or misrepresented information out there.
So I wanted to set the record straight on some common training myths that I have seen over the year.
In today's episode I cover:
How too much more reps is not always a good thing w/ jump training
How we must consider global load when designing a jump program
Why Jump and Strength Specificity Matters
The Pro's and Cons of Heavy Squatting for Jumping
Why jumping high in practice does not necessarily mean you'll jump high in a game
Why Training your breaks are just as important as training your gas pedal
Why patience is key to developing a high jump over time
Of course we cover so much more!...Thanks for tuning in, I hope you enjoy the show!
