Jump Training

In a recent design project, I have had the pleasure of working with beach volleyball player Marc 'Funk' Roberts.

He has developed a 6 week jump training program designed to make you strong, explosive, and powerful while increasing leg strength, your vertical jump, and preventing injuries to knees and ankles. Whether you play basketball, volleyball, or just want to jump higher, you'll want to give this workout a try. I've tried it, and it's one tough workout but I found it really transferred over well to my beach volleyball games.

We'll be launching it in 2009. In the meantime, check out the video!
