 Yeah, one foot is tough especially under six foot gang your boy made progress this year right actually last year with COVID right before I had My best one foot jump of all time translates into Welcome to dunk tip Tuesday every frickin Tuesday. We're back one foot jump technique Super pumped you guys asked. Thank you guys for voting on my poll. Thank you guys for commenting really helps me out I'm excited to share these things. I wish I knew in my dunk journey get you flying and I guess what super exciting news I have a free live training class to jump higher this Saturday sign up now completely free for any athlete excited to see you there Right before I had my best one foot jump of all time So that was really exciting because I had chronic knee pain for almost two years If not over two years healed that up and was able to jump higher So there's hope you got to just stick with it. You never give up You have to learn about the body you have to heal the body you have to get in tune with the body So, you know what's causing it and how to strengthen those things I truly believe you can get to any limit you want to get to the only limit you have is the one you limit on yourself I truly believe that it's about finding the solution and not giving up so that way you can overcome them and Build healthy habits healthy body healthy tendons if you can build on top of those on the foundation That's why I'm so big on the foundation You are limitless So if you're a one-foot jumper two-foot jumper, you can make vertical progress Anyway to no limit as long as you stick with it. Let's go. What's up guys? So one foot technique really tricky one thing I had to learn for myself first of all I had to get over the knee pain So if you have knee pain check out my knee pain video, but it's a lot of force in that one leg That's why it's been really hard for me to increase because as a short dunk I produce so much force It's hard to make progress Without loading it too much because with two-foot jumping what I can do is I can jump so much Which is that one of the best things you can do for your vertical once you're strong enough And once you once you're in that phase of jumping higher you have to push yourself to jump higher But pushing yourself to jump higher off one foot is tricky because if I do it too much to get that stimulus I overload and I get hurt So it's a it's been a long game meaning like I have to think really long term get it super strong Do very little jumps and slowly but surely once it's strong enough it can handle those jumps I could add more force to it, but I have to make sure it's crazy strong enough and again for me It's not my focus my focus is the two-foot jumping So that's why my one foot doesn't really make that much progress because I'm more focused on the two-foot jumping But two-foot jumping is still putting load on that one foot even though it's my less dominant leg off right left It's hard to it's hard to do two things at once so but into the technique we go You know almost forgot the comment of the week the winner of the free jump program Let's hit the random comment generator right now. Here we go. Here we go. Oh my god. Oh my god Simon Lee writes my favorite two words. Let's go free program for you or sure or figure it out Let's go leave a comment for you to win this week's comment raffle. Let's go So with the one-foot technique one thing I've noticed for myself is when I got rusty off it I was really trying to load up like I was off two feet because off two feet I run and get like super low, but it's not the same type of feel for me There's different types of jumpers. I'm more of a speed jumper off one So a quick mindset was that I would just go for the rim and stop thinking about trying to jump my Hires and just run fast and jump naturally. So I just run and just take off And get the rim easy and your boys a little bit of bounce today not happy with I'm happy with that So this room's super tough. It's legit 10, but I don't feel that bounce here It's not like sometimes you just don't feel that it's cold. Whatever excuses eliminate them. Anyway with the one-foot technique Why that speed jump helps me is for these keys is because when I do keep my body upright when I go speed I'm not trying to load. I'm doing it naturally and natural is good If you have the right rhythm and your body kind of knows but luckily I do But this is what I'm doing right when I mean natural is when I come at the rim I'm taking a big step, but I'm not trying to like emphasize this one This one my back leg is just as much force as the left leg So I'm pushing and I'm taking off quick quick knee drive keeping my chest up and I'm not slowing down So a lot of times when I was trying to really load that force I was running and then I was like trying to load up so much that I was slowing myself down So by speeding up and do and trying to just think lighter It feels like I'm not lowering as much, but I'm just lowering at a more efficient way So another really big key that I learned with my one foot is that when you run you run like this and off Two foot. It's really easy to get that arm swing rhythm But for one foot I had to learn it. It's really awkward But you want both arms to come back to use that arm swing because there's no ball on your hand You can do that if you have the ball in your hand You could bring it to your opposite hip and drive it through Point is you want that arm swing you want to get that arm swing with your one foot So when you're just going for the rim Just try to think of when you do your penultimate Bring both arms back as you step through right so it's gonna feel it might feel awkward at first But once you get that rhythm down It's that one arm stays back So you're running and then instead of this arm coming forward It goes back again, and you drive up just drive up with that knee up So one quick drill that I do for that is Is I just stand close to the rim and you just take off and you only do the arm swing So you're not trying to go like this and then switch you just come here Boom and jump for it again Hard to get high because you have very little speed But you want to focus on each piece and then all the pieces build together So try that out and then when it comes to one foot jumping Do both legs as well. You want to stay balanced and Work on that technique and the when it comes to the penultimate step You do want a long penultimate so you want to push off, but that push-off will make you lower So you don't have to stomp into this takeoff leg This penultimate will naturally lower you because the more you spread your legs the lower you get so So do that just naturally and eyes up the whole time and just think speed and we'll see if I could get a Better jump this time see if I get like a full hand on the rim again my one foot's not that high It's probably like 35 inches 36. Let's see. I'm trying to get that 40 club with the one foot. So stay tuned. Here we go rhythm Beautiful just beautiful what I really focused on early to is when I went for the takeoff I always want to like take off full speed, but you rhythm you have enough speed by the time you get there So be slow. I don't want to say slow be Controlled be methodical the speed will come If you're like me, I need to slow down my speed. I'm always trying to add a lot of speed other people We need to add speed so figure out what you are That's why it's really hard to give advice because some people are attacking too slow Some people are attacking too fast. There is an optimal speed for everybody and everybody's different So not only are you on different sides of the spectrum trying to meet at the optimal speed But everybody's optimal speed is different too. So learn your body type if you're like me This is why I give my advice what works for me and I try to give you the the mindset of how to find what works for you Yo, your boys coming out with a live coaching community.
