Can doing sprints, for example, 10 sets of full court sprints down and back, as hard and as fast as you can with an explosive start. Increase sprint speed and quickness.

Increase sprint speed and quickness. of course.. lifting might give you a bigger engine, but you still need to learn how to drive the car. @eliteballer3 Great, let me know how it goes. |

its going awesome so far, did the first 2 workouts. I'll keep you updated thru my journal of course and message you as well. I gotta question, is there a ratio for how much your vert will go up, as you increase your squat, assuming you do enough plyometrics to get all the vert you can out of your strength? Or as you say, learn to drive the car as good as you can. For example, an athlete is jumping 25 in. and squat .8x his bw and then increases his squat to 1x his bw and does enough plyos to get the most out of his strength is there a way to tell how much his vert will increase? thanks

Hmm, I don't think theres any solid ratio for squat gains -> vertical jump increase. It's all too individual. We know that certain people express different types of strength (maximum, elastic, etc.) better than others.. it's what makes some athletes naturally explosive or strong. We also have people who can train a certain trait (for example, max strength using the squat) and are easily able to implement that new strength straight away into jumping. But how easily you can implement that trait is very individual.
As for how much you can increase your vert in total, I think I remember Kelly Baggett saying that at least a 30% increase from your untrained VJ is possible for everyone.

Doug, when in training I don't feel the burn in some exercises. I mean it gets harder on the last 2-3 reps but I'm not sore after my workout? What am I doing wrong?

Are you getting stronger? The "burn" or being sore the day after is not important, it has little to no correlation to muscle or strength gains.

What I mean is, are you adding weight to the big exercises each week? You should know if you're getting stronger each workout if you're tracking weight used.

Hey Doug, I'm 4 inches away from the rim. I remember you did an article on Osgood Schlatters. Did you squat while you had it? I really want to start getting my vert up

Yes I did, but I'm not sure that's the best idea. Any stress on the tendon is going to make it worse. If I were you I'd talk to a sports doctor / physiotherapist and see what they think.

My doctor said no resistance training on the lower body and I've followed that so far. But it sucks man I really want to touch the rim, I'm just so close

Listen to your doctor. Touching the rim isn't worth injuring yourself and losing months of progress.

Sorry for all the questions, but do compression knee sleeves help?

No worries. They might help a little with warming up & staying warm while playing (your knees won't get as stiff, etc).

Hey, man! Can you help me out with some dribbling drills that emphasize on ball handling at high speeds? My quickness is limited by the minimum control I have over the ball, so I can't go as fast as I would like to, because I would eventually lose it, what should I primarily work on and what drills should I use? One or two examples at least, if you can give me!

thedougaller whats your take on playing mutliple sports/specilaztion and what do you think are the best sports that help with basketball

I think playing multiple sports is great. If an athlete can do it, I would love to see them play multiple sports throughout high school, and specialize in college. However in most cases this isn't possible, because the athlete can't get to the skill level required to play college ball while having other sports to concentrate on. In these cases specialization would have to occur earlier, maybe starting junior year, perhaps earlier.
Sports that help with basketball? Kind of a useless question, if you're trying to get better at basketball play basketball. Obviously sports like volleyball have some overlapping skills.
