But today the doctor said that I hurt my ankle very bad and will not play for 1 month for sure. So I got put as a reserve 
This is very bad because I trained/lifted weights the whole summer. All I can do is watch and think about next season.
STATS:
Height:6'1
Weight:165
Reach:8ft
Running Vert: 27in (this is an estimate because I can get about up to were my knuckles start when I get rim)
Position:Right Now PF, JV an Varsity season SF.
My question is if I just start training and working out like crazy until next season will I see big improvements? Also if I do VJB for like 9 month (either plyos , bodyweight, weightlifting) will I start dunking next season and have noticable ups?(right now I can get 3 inches over the rim and I can palm the ball but cant dunk.) I am determined because I want to go play basketball at at the next level. Will hard 9month of VJB give me really nice hops and will I be able to dunk on people if I work on it hard? |
First of all, sorry to hear about the injury, especially considering that you've trained so hard for it. Regarding the gains in nine months, it depends on the vertical leap that you have, if you've trained so much to get to your current vertical leap, maybe your increase will not be as much as someone who has no previous plyometric work-out. However, seeing the level of commitment that you have, I think you can definitely still improve on your vert. If you have more time and the available resources, maybe you can do tvp after you've done vjb to get more increases.
Well, good luck and come next year, hopefully, you'll be on dunking on everyone blocking your way in the try-outs. Peace.
