im probably the only person that wants to gain everything with hard work. when i started training, i had a 14 inch vert, and it took me 16 sec to run 100meters. now, i have around a 28 inch vert and i can run 100m in 10.8 seconds.

the choices are abit odd because if you choose crazy hops you would also be very quick

work your way up, you get character, and you would probably learn the tricks of the trade for w/e you are doing in life. Also yeh it true quickness and jumping correspond with each other, but what kind of quickness foot work for exapmple??

I agree that there is no dichotomy ( <--- note really sure what that means) between the 2. The same muscles involved in extreme hops are the same muscles involved in quickness.

Even though science proves the same muscles are used, you guys can see where he's coming from just imagine you can only have one or the other or a bit of both.

For me I would choose a bit of both, you can't get to far with one without the other and still be successful in my opinion.
