Coach Agler Mailbox Responses

"How can I make my vertical higher and better? If there are any drills or weights I can do to make me jump higher, please let me know! Thanks for your time."

Hi, Jessica! If you talk to your trainer or coach, I'm sure they can recommend a lot of drills you can do to improve your leg strength. I think that just practicing your jumping is the best thing. I wouldn't purchase anything that I'd consider gimmicks. The best way to improve things that are physical is to practice and train. Put time into it and you will see the results.
