Jumping higher - Does it Really Matter for Basketball?

People in all sports want to jump higher, but for what? Is it really going to make you a better player. Does it matter if you can jump out the gym but can't shoot for nothing?  Does it matter if you can do a 360 windmill but no one will pick you up because you can't dribble the ball? Well the answer is Yes. It does matter. And it can make a difference. Let me explain.

When you increase your vertical leap, your strengthening mostly your lower body which is going to help you excel in many areas on the basketball court, besides being able to dunk.

Your rebounding skills will improve because you won't have to box out as much since you can out jump the others. Your defense will improve because your speed and quickness will naturally get better as you increase your jumping ability. And your shot will improve also because now those line drives that you're so use to shooting won't need as much arc in order to get up and over the rim.

Now Jjumping higher may not do anything for your dribbling skills but at least you wont be that the last one getting picked on the court any more, or even worse the person that never got picked up - ever(I mean the other team would rather play with 4 players).

The good news is that training can help to improve your vertical leap. With some realistic training goals, a good program and some dedication you can learn to fly above your competition in no time!
