Top 4 things I have learned about jumping higher through good technique.
I have been coaching jump technique for years for volleyball and basketball.
I have seen people gain up to 6 inches on their vertical in 30 minutes with only improving technique.
This is what the best jumpers do...
Again, for industry context 🗣️: be very clear -every coach in America is thinking about next yr during current season: re-recruiting current roster, traditional H.S. recruiting, looking ahead to portal… More complicated than ever. Reality. Grateful for the best HC in the nation.
Of course that’s your contention. You think in vitro physiology is completely recapitulated in vivo.
You vaguely remember pH from high school chemistry but never got to the homeostatic dyad of the lungs & kidneys so you blame patients with cancer for not guzzling alkaline water.
In my mid 20's to early 30's I dealt with chronic low back pain.
I went to a Chiropractor who told me I'd have to live with the pain & get adjustments for the rest of my life.
I said screw that, searched for a solution, and fixed my back.
Here's how I did it:
I am not on social media much but since announcing Kevin would not play in the tournament, I’ve been told Kevin and this situation have been portrayed inaccurately. What I said in a 45 second video clip is true. His knee hasn’t improved in the last two weeks. It hurts too much to continue playing. He hasn’t practiced in 6 weeks. We made the decision to shut him down. That’s all 100 percent accurate, but what I didn’t say has caused a false narrative to question Kevin inappropriately. He worked tirelessly in rehab to try to play and everyone within the program knows it. We’ve known the only way the bone bruise would heal is time off. Kevin elected not to do that and try to play. For 6 weeks, it’s been one step forward two steps back. He hurt it worse in the KSU game and tried to play at Houston. Since then, all involved felt 9 days off would position him to play in the tournament. That did not happen. It hasn’t progressed and made the improvement we had hoped. At that time our team doctors collectively came to the decisions to not play and allow the healing process to not be interrupted.
We will support him through this process. Kevin tried for himself, his teammates, and also the KU faithful. We are all disappointed Kevin can’t play but should appreciate the effort that he’s made. Kevin will take on the role of asst. coach during the tournament.
A fine 2023-24 athletics season for KU. Only Big 12 school to win a bowl game and qualify both men’s and women’s basketball teams for NCAA tournaments.
per sources, l'jarius sneed may or may not be traded as early as today but definitely no earlier because that would require time travel.
he could also be traded later or maybe never. multiple options remain on the table, including all life on earth being wiped out by a meteor.
Really good stuff
