PLYOMETRICS:</STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=center>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>There are three levels of ploymetrics that help jumping power.&nbsp;First is lower level drills of skipping, hopping and jumping drills with no accessory apparatus.&nbsp; Second is medium level drills using some form of apparatus, starting and ending with feet on the ground.&nbsp; The third level is Plyometric Box Jumping.&nbsp; We start with low intensity Box Jumping drills that&nbsp;any high school athlete can perform.&nbsp; Our drills increase in intensity and skill but over half of our nation's high school&nbsp;athletes can complete all of our drills in the first week.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>At BFS clinics where Plyometric Box Jumping is included, we select about ten athletes to demonstrate.&nbsp; We always try to choose a wide variety of size and skill in these athletes.&nbsp; They stretch well and then give each athlete three Vertical Jump attempts on our "JustJump" measuring device and three&nbsp;Standing Long Jumps.&nbsp; These attempts are recorded.&nbsp; Next, the ten athletes go through the BFS Box Jumping routine.&nbsp; What do you think happens when we retest?&nbsp; You guessed it.&nbsp; Nine out of ten make significant improvements.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I know there are some strength and conditioning coaches who believe plyometrics are a waste of time.&nbsp; Those coaches and athletes who go through a Box Jumping routine at a BFS Clinic would be amused at such a philosophy.</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV lign=center><STRONG>IV.&nbsp;MEASUREMENT:</STRONG>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=center>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I believe in measuring the Vertical Jump and Standing Long Jump once or twice a month.&nbsp; This is especially true at the high school level.&nbsp; I have two reasons:&nbsp; First, is that sheer practice will help an athlete learn jumping skills.&nbsp; Second, an athlete needs to have this feed back for motivation.&nbsp; If he/she is working hard on strength, flexibility and ploymetric drills, frequent feedback will demonstrate that all the hard work is paying off.&nbsp; A jump increase of one or two inches can be rejuvenating and keep your championship vision alive.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I highly recommend our "Just Jump and Run".&nbsp; You can get a highly accurate Vertical Jump measurement about once every five seconds.&nbsp; All you have to do is read the result.&nbsp; Kids can even test kids.&nbsp; The "Just Jump and Run" can certainly stimulate a lot of interest in jumping and it's a whole lot of fun.</DIV> <DIV align=left><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> a later date.</P> want them to feel that they did everything they could <br>to be the best player they <br>coud be. aximal results with mnimal risk of injury.<br><br>Shock Training in Action<br><br>According to Siff, Verkhoshansky is apalled at the amount of inaccurate information being published in the United States about shock training. Verkhoshnsky attributes this to the fact that much of his material has not<br>been interpreted accurately. Siff says that the German coaches, who recognized the value of shock training and other forms of plyometrics, often had enire teams of several linguists andscientists working full time to<br>accurately analyze the writings of Verkhoshansky. In contrast, in the U.S. very few individuals translated his articles, and in many cases it might be a college student with little background in sport training.
