How To Jump Higher Part IV

UPDATE

OK, so maybe this blog isn't quite "cashed". Heh.

What I will be doing is here is just keeping everyone who checks in here updated on everything going on over at Basketball Fit.

So, as I've been doing for a few weeks now, I've been creating a whole, free guide on How To Jump Higher.

Today, I published How To Jump Higher Part III.

It is really good; the guy who wrote it has really good hair too :-)

READ THIS POST...BIG NEWS

That is all folks...this blog is done, cashed, final, over, complete. It's been a fun run, and I have learned a ton about blogging and also had a great time helping all of you guys out, trying to spread some of what I know.

But, I decided a few weeks ago a change was needed and now, it's almost complete, so I'd thought I'd tell you guys about it first before I really get the word out there.

As you guys probably know, I specialize in basketball training, and have been ever since I was 15 years old. It's what I love and where I want to spend my time.

So, with that being said, I have decided to take my basketball training company online. It's going to be the ULTIMATE resource for everything basketball training. So, STOP READING THIS BLOG!!! and get on over to the brand-new Basketball Fit website:

BIG NEWS

OK, BIG Announcement!

There are going to be some significant changes coming in the next few weeks to this blog, and my other sites. I'll try and update this when I can, but I am going to be busy trying to work on everything else. 

So, definitely check back every once in a while for updates on this.

That's awesome.

Random Thoughts

OK, here's a quick triple for you guys!

1. Basketball players, more than any other sport, need strength. We're talking about long, wiry guys, who are intensely involved in metabolic activities more often than Jenna Jameson. They burn a lot of calories. They have trouble putting on some real, usable strength. They don't eat enough or know how to eat right. Basically, the odds are stacked against them on doing the one thing that will help their game more than anything. If you're a basketball player, get in the weight room and get after it. Slapping some strength on your already efficient and coordinated body will do nothing, but enhance the hell out of your performance on the court.

2. Talk to people. I was reminded of this so simple, yet so important fact yet again today. Just talk to everybody. You never know who they are, who they know or how they might, or might not, be able to help you. But you'll definitely never know any of those things if you never speak to them. Plus, it's fun and to everyone else around you, it appears that you are really social and must have something to offer, both of which are great characteristics. 

3. I've heard some really good coaches recommend that you shouldn't ever static stretch (basically just hold the stretch) your hamstrings. Their explanation was some confusing, well-put thought about how naturally reactive the hamstrings are ad static stretching them would just take away from that. I get it, but a couple 15 second holds a couple times a day isn't going to take you from Nate Robinson to Ryan Bowen. A lot of people have tight hamstrings (Posterior Pelvic Tilters are a common group for it). A lot of people don't. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't take what someone says to be the end-all, be-all, final, last word on something. You need to think for yourself and decide for yourself, while taking into account what the people you perceive to be as credible are saying. Do that, and I promise you will be all right.

That's it for today. I'll be back. 'Til next time, peace!
