Do depth jumps, start from the top of the box down to the ground, pop right back op onto the box. This puts the stretch reflex into your muscle system that responds to the ground and explodes. You have to follow the load to explode principle. If you start from the ground and jump up, that explodes back to load. We want load, get the drop to explode and jump. Quick off the ground, lift those hip as high as you can.

Obstacle jumps: Using cones or little many hurdles, these are about 12 inches high. Simply do two-foot jumps right down through the middle. We want to keep the hips high, do two-foot jumps exploding over the hurdles. Get a little bit of height, pull the knees up, explode off the ground, touch and go, touch and go.

Now, I chose the same obstacle but instead of two-foot jumps. Let us do a one legged hop. This isolates and gives us more power for each specific leg. You can use walk back as recovery or you can just go down and back straight through. You want to work both legs equally, a right and left makes one repetition.

Box Drops: Here, we want to drop off of our box and explode into a sprint. We use that stretch reflex, stretch the muscles and load them and then turn them loose to explode. Drop down, exploding to a sprint, push down into the ground. Remember, our acceleration is from the driving force down into the ground not reaching with the feet.
