GENETICS AND JUMP TRAINING

Follow the link for jump training tips.

It's true that genetics play a part in increasing your vertical jump and sprinting speed.

However, I don't think it's worth the time focusing on things you don't have control over.

Training properly is something you do have control over.

Your time is best spent learning what proper training consists of.

For increasing your vertical jump and quickness, your overall focus should be…

1. As weeks and months go by, are your weights getting heavier?

2. Are your jump training and plyometrics getting faster, higher, and more efficient?

3. Is your body-fat where it needs to be?

If you are focused on these 3 objectives, it’s going to be hard NOT to improve.

Also, a big mistake trainees make is being impatient with the process.

Especially with the vertical jump and speed training, it takes time for gains to stabilize.

Even if your periodization is perfect the body operates on biorhythmic cycles and your performance isn’t going to be consistent from day to day or week to week.

It's best to be patient. As you become more experienced, your knowledge will grow and you'll learn to understand your body better.

You don't want to get caught constantly waffling back and forth between too many different trains of thought.

Don't make the mistake of not sticking to your program long enough to benefit from it.

The key is consistency. Stick with the program and you'll get results.

IN SYSTEM VS OUT OF SYSTEM

You've likely heard the terms "in system" and "out of system".

A team is considered to be "in system" when the ball is passed in a way that makes it possible for the team to execute the offensive play.

So if when the ball is passed and the setter can't run the play that was intended, then the offense is considered "out of system".

Also, being "in system" is sometimes referred to as running "plan A". Being "out of system" is referred to as running "plan B".

If you find your team is "out of system" a lot, it's going to be tough to win if you aren't good at "plan B".
