From barely touching the net to dunking two handed!

So if you haven't heard about this yet, 2 pro ballers have just released a crazy new vertical jump program and the hype around it this week has been a little intense.

One of the creators is the world's highest dunker and the other is a professional player. The program is called Vert Shock and it's only just been released but people are already adding impressive inches to their vertical jumps…

Here's one of their students, Nick Olexa and what he had to say about it:

----------------------------------------------

"I googled vertical jump programs and spent well over $200 trying to achieve my childhood dream to dunk in a game and none worked!

For some reason I googled California colleges and came across UC Irvine and Adam Folker's workouts.

I said it never hurts to try so I bought it and after 1 week my vertical increased 4 inches and I could dunk 1 handed. After 4 weeks I gained almost 7 inches and could barely dunk 2 hands.

After finishing the Vert Shock Program I gained 12 inches and bam I'm dunking 2 hands. Thanks to Adam and Folkersystem I achieved my dream."

BTW there's an insane dunk video on that page that'll blow your brains out.

Nothing's hotter than a guy who can dunk

This is what I heard the other day when I was leaving my gym.

Two girls were chilling near the basketball court at the back of my gym complex. They were watching a 3-on-3 game which abruptly ended when the biggest guy decided to jump straight up, knock the defender flat on his ass and dunk on him while he was laying sprawled on the blacktop.

That's when the blonde cheekily whispered this confession to her smoking-hot Asian friend in pink sweatpants:

"Nothing's hotter than a guy who can dunk."

And can you guess what the Asian hottie replied? She whimpered:

"Uh huhhh!"

This got me thinking. I mean, for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to dunk. It's been a lifelong dream of mine, but I really had no idea girls found it hot. I guess it makes sense though since most people have this belief you need to be the most athletic dude around to be able to jump that high.

But the fact is that's just not true anymore.

Breakthrough research has surfaced recently about the exact 'levers' which allow people to jump ridiculously high. So naturally, 2 genius basketball players took this research and used it to transform regular guys who can't even touch the rim into dudes who can dunk with 2 hands every time and with ease.

One of these geniuses is a pro basketball player and the other is the world's highest dunker (I think it's safe to say they know what they're doing LOL) They're getting a ton of media hype these days and blowing up on Youtube so I thought I'd let you know about them.

And it's great timing too since they've just released all their crazy vert jump body hacks and techniques. They've been teaching people this stuff in secret for years but now it's available to the public in a badass program.

The Missing Element of Your Fighting Success

Hi, I know that you take your training and fighting seriously, and that you want to continually improve. I know that you're also aware that there are several components that must come together to perform at your highest potential.

Like thousands of other fighters around the globe, you've already made great strides in your career by implementing the techniques and strategies.

So you are WAY AHEAD of most of the wanna-bes out there.

But there is another critically important aspect of your training which, in the end, can make or break your ultimate success in this awesome sport.

I'm talking about... the mental game.

Now maybe you've read some of the popular books out there on sports psychology.

Some of them are actually decent, and contain some tips that we can take with us into our training and fights.

However, many fighters still have some of the same negative feelings before a big fight, or when things aren't going your way DURING a fight.

You know what I mean - getting sick with nerves the day of your big match, or totally forgetting your game plan when you find yourself exhausted and in pain before round two even starts.

We've all been there.

So many really solid fighters could finally rise up in the ranks, if they could just be confident and composed in those types of situations.

Well, I found two guys that know how to take care of that shit once and for all. And I feel obligated to share this information with you.

Their names are Stephen Ladd and Bill Gladwell, and they're known as the Renegade Fighter Psychology Coaches

Check them out here:

Let's Start Now 

Actually, they aren't all that well known... yet.

Even though they have been privately coaching hundreds of top-notch fighters from around the world for years, those guys would rather keep them as their own secret weapon.

But now Stephen & Bill have decided to share their techniques with all of us - for a mere fraction of the price of their private coaching sessions.

Before I send you off to check out his website (which is full of f.r.e.e stuff that you can actually use), let me tell you straight out...

These guys are NOT your typical sports psychologists, but neither are the RESULTS their "unconventional" methods deliver.

If you are ready for something new (like ultimate confidence, focus, and faster recovery from training and injuries), then I highly recommend that you check out this revolutionary approach to fight psychology:

Top Factor to Scoring BIG Points!

Determining a basketball player's overall "offensive worth" is something I do often as a coach. I have to have some way to scout a player and figure out what their offensive potential is. Of course I look at stats, FG%, 3PT%, PPG, FT%, etc. These are definitely important but they're often misinterpreted.

You need to look at more than just those stats, you need to look at how those stats were achieved. What made the stats what they are?

The number one thing that contributes to those stats being impressive is ball handling and your handles.

All those stats come from first creating the opportunity, and 80% of the time that was through ball handling and dribble moves.

So when players ask me how to see big increases in their offensive stats, I tell them, "yea your shot is important, but you'll never have the opportunity to get a good shot off if you don’t have the handles to create the shots".

Obviously the conversation with the player then turns to basketball dribbling drills. And which ones they should do and which ones they should avoid like the plague. Believe me, not all dribbling drills are created equal, you can waste a lot of practice time with the wrong drills if you aren't careful.

The key to any basketball dribbling drill is intensity. Now, part of that is on you. You can slack off at any drill no matter how great it's designed. But, assuming you bring intensity to your training. There are a lot of basketball dribbling drills that are setup in a way that make it impossible to run them at game time intensity.

If you're using any basketball dribbling drills where you feel like they're forcing you to move at a slower than game pace. Toss them out, burn them, forget them!!! They will not only hold you back from hitting your potential, they will actually send you in the reverse direction.

The only exception to that rule is if you are using stationary dribbling drills at the beginning of your workouts. But, if you are relying on these stationary dribbling drills to get you unstoppable handles, you will be thoroughly disappointed. Stationary dribbling drills are great to get you warmed up, focused and to gain ball control. But they will never get you the handles you need to beat defenders.

You have to incorporate drills that are run at a game pace and re create game situations. It always baffled me how coaches would teach their player basketball dribbling drills that didn't mirror a game in anyway, and then expect their players to be able to execute come game time.

Analyze your dribbling drills. Can you see how the drill directly reflects an in game scenario? If not, they are probably worthless.

Now once you have these basketball dribbling drills that you can see reflect game situations, it's on you to bring game time intensity to the training.

Like I said earlier, you can slack off on the best drill and make that drill worthless. So be sure that once you have those great drills you keep them great. You have to picture a defender, you have to see and hear the crowd, you have to go just as hard as you would in a game.

The next progression is to actually add in a defender. But I see players make some big mistakes when they do this. They add in a defender, but the defender already knows what you're going to do. This isn’t realistic and one of two things will happen. Either the defender will constantly beat you because they are playing you knowing what you are going to do. Or they exaggerate the other way, and make it too easy to beat them. Either way you won't get good feedback as to how good you can execute the move.

So, when you add in a defender they should have no idea what you are trying to do. They should "D" you up as if they were guarding you in a game, and they should go 100%.

Another piece of advice is to have several moves to work on when you bring in a defender. If you try the same thing over and over you will revert back to the defender knowing what you are going to do. If you can keep switching it up it will keep your defender guessing and mirror a game.

Using these training techniques will bring your ball handling to a new level and ultimately lead to easy shots, layups, assists and trips to the free throw line.

Score Big Like Kobe

 

The most important choice a serious basketball player has to make during their career is which basketball workout program to use. Choosing the wrong program can have big consequences, lost time, developing bad technique and lost motivation, just to name a few.

Basketball workout programs will vary significantly from coach to coach. There isn’t necessarily one program that is right and the rest are wrong. But there are plenty that are just flat out worthless!

I see a lot of coaches putting players on basketball workout programs that make me cringe. The sad thing is that these players are putting all their trust into these coaches and their workout programs.

I've spent a lot of time talking with top basketball players and coaches. I always pick their brains about what makes a great basketball workout program. And while all their programs vary in exactly what drills they use, they all have some major things in common. But the one thing that all these players and coaches agree on is that there are two major keys to any basketball workout drill.

Intensity. This is the number one ingredient to training for success. So many players train at 75% and expect to play at 100%. Bring intensity into your basketball workouts and make sure that the drills you use demand this intensity.

 

Could a NASCAR driver practice racing at 80 MPH and then expect to go race at 200 MPH? No chance, so why do so many basketball players expect that they slack in their training and dominate in a game?

Game time. Always remember what you are training for. You aren't training to be a great in-practice player. You are training to dominate come game time. So why waste time on drills that won't develop the skills you can use come game time?

Here's the perfect example. Players shooting 500+ shot reps for a shooting workout. I see this all the time, players going around the perimeter putting up shot after shot. Well, the shooting part isn’t bad, but this doesn’t replicate at all how your shots will be in games.

Every shot you take in practice (with the exception of form shots and free throws) should have a specific move leading into it. In other words, in a game what is creating the shots? Coming off a screen, your handles, pullback, etc. Every shot you take in practice should have one of these moves leading into it. If it doesn’t, you are only training to be a successful in-practice shooter.

I want to add in one last factor. That's consistency. But you could look at consistency as motivation and determination too. If you truly want to develop unbelievable skills, it takes practice. And hitting the court a couple times a week won't suffice.

A lot goes into training properly but the factors I just covered are at the top of the list. Get the right basketball workout program, train with intensity, train for the game and train consistently. Do this and you are on your way to big things!

Training Secrets of the Basketball Elite

Training Secrets of the Basketball Elite

A basketball training program is a must have for any aspiring player. A training program will layout all of your training in a coordinated way. Without this layout, you are justtaking it day to day. The day to day method will never ensure that you are hitting all the training aspects you need.

A basketball training program will give you a path to follow and a historic reference to look back on. You need both of these to make sure your training is actually leading to success. If you spend two months training and aren't seeing results, you need to be able to look back at exactly what you did. Now you can make changes. Without knowing what you did, you won’t know what failed.

The other huge advantage to a basketball training program is that when your workouts are mapped out it makes it a lot harder to slack off. You can look at your week and know exactly what you are going to do. Without this structure it's too easy to make spur of the moment changes or put off a workout.

As important as having a basketball training program, is having the right training program. You can waste precious time on the wrong training program and get nowhere with it.

There is a lot of pressure on you to select the right training program and it can seem overwhelming. But I have some guidelines for you to follow to make sure you select a great training program.

1. WHO MADE IT? - Who put the training program together? Can they provide testimonials from players who use the program? You want a program from a trusted coach, research them, demand testimonials and see how many other players are using the program. Also, beware if the person behind the training program is using their own success as a selling point. Playing and coaching are two very different animals and just because a player found success, it doesn't mean that they know how to train you and put together a training program.That takes a coach!
2. ARE THE DRILLS TOO SIMPLE or TOO COMPLEX? - Look at the drills that makeup the workouts. There are two things you need to look out for. The first is the workout with overly simple "rec league" drills. If you look at the drills and can't see them converting to in-game success, then it's probably too simple of a training program. On the other hand, some coaches create crazy drills just so they are original and look impressive. With these types of drills you spend all your time trying to learn the drill, rather than building your basketball skills.You want drills that will build a skill set that will actually be useful in a game.
3. IS YOUR WHOLE TRAINING OUTLINED? - There should be more to your basketball training program than just basketball drills. To be a successful player at high levels you need to havestrength, speed, explosiveness, quick feet and stamina. If your training program doesn't address these, that means you will have to go out and get a separate training program specific for those. A great basketball training program will incorporate all those directly into the training.
4. DOES THE TRAINING LOOK EXCITING AND FUN? - If you look at the training program and it doesn't excite you, you are setting yourself up for failure. You want to look forward to your training not dread it. So, if your workouts look boring and monotonous it will probably be struggle for you to get out and train.
5. DOES THE PROGRAM PROGRESS WITH YOU? - If you're in a great basketball training program you should expect to see great results. So as you improve you will need your drills to progress with your skills. Make sure that the training program allows for this. You don't want to be at level "Z" doing drills from level "X".

If you follow those guidelines when selecting your training program you will end up with a great basketball training program.

Renegade Mindset Techniques for Golf

This brief article reveals three mental golf game tips utilizing a cutting-edge technique known as "tapping".

What is Tapping?

"Tapping" is a do-it-yourself form of acupuncture, except you don't use needles. Instead you simply "tap" on a few "clearing points" while focusing on and saying (to yourself, if appropriate) the negative feeling or emotion.

For the sake of simplicity, the following tips will only use a single point, referred to as the "collar bone point". However, it is not the exact collar bone, but rather the two bony notches at the base of your neck. It is about the spot where you would knot a necktie. Just "tap" this point with an open hand approximately 10 times as instructed in the tips below. It's that simple...

Tip # 1 - "Tapping" in your Pre-shot Routine

Tap while focusing on any negative feeling or emotion you might have about the upcoming shot. If you don't have anything in particular, just use the term "tension".

Take a deep breath and say to yourself "Let it be easy".

Step up and swing the club.

Tip # 2 - "Tapping" in your Post-shot Routine

What...you don't have a post-shot routine? That's the subject for another article. For now we'll keep it simple and divide your shot results into either positive or negative.

1. If the shot ended up where you intended (Positive) -

Simply tap and say "Exactly", "Spot on", "Nice", or any other positive phrase indicating to yourself that you manifested the intended result.

2. If the shot did NOT play out as planned (Negative) -

Tap and say "Anger", "Frustration", or whatever emotion the less-than-perfect shot brings up.

Take a deep breath.

Say to yourself "This is more what I had in mind"....

And then take another easy practice stroke and visualize the ball going exactly where you intended.

This is very important because it will plant in your subconscious mind this more positive result.

Tip # 3 - "Tapping" for Anger Management

Is there any activity on earth that people love to hate more than golf?

Any time that you feel anger on the course, just tap and say "anger", "pissed off" or whatever best describes your feelings (and is somewhat appropriate given your environment).

Take a deep breath.

Don't be fooled into believing that something so simple can't be effective. Try it out for yourself and then make your own decision.

Here is a little about me as a soccer player:

• 3 time all-state soccer player in the state of Florida
• Florida soccer player of the year
• High school All-American
• Collegiate All-American
• Former Professional Soccer player

How is this training different?

The soccer training methods I was teaching actually helped several other players reach All-American status and a couple others received honorable mentions.  And it was all after they had gone through my training program.

The thing I realized about training after watching the pros and working with high level coaches was that traditional soccer practices were NOT the correct way to become a great player.

Traditional soccer practices are meant for “team building” much more than developing your own skills.

So I developed a training method designed specifically for skyrocketing a player’s individual skills.  Here’s what I did:

• First, I created training sessions that simulated game speed and conditions so that the skills you practice are easy to apply when it is game time.
• Next, I developed highly effective drills that are specifically designed to quickly improve individual soccer skills such as ball control, touch, dribbling skills, passing skills, shooting power and precision, and even soccer I.Q.
• And finally, I made sure that every player that went through my program would be the most skilled player on the field…every time…by teaching a plethora of advanced soccer moves that are guaranteed to keep the defender guessing and on their heels.

Can Fitness Boot Camps Really Help Your Fitness Business?

The Bottom Line on Boot Camps By Georgette Pann 

The fastest way to attract new clients and collect plenty of profits for your fitness business is with a new program. But what? You don't want to put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into a fast-dying fad or a program that attracts a limited target market because your profits will dry up quickly. 

Your solution: Fitness boot camps. Boot camps appeal to a large range of people because just about anyone can do the exercises. And they escape the women-only stigma of aerobics and the men-only stigma of weight lifting. Influenced by traditional military boot camps, these fitness programs are so popular because they work- when they're done right-and because of their social element. 

Boot camp participants enjoy the camaraderie of exercising in a group. And much like peer pressure keeps soldiers moving in military boot camp, peer encouragement - and developing friendships - keep people moving in fitness boot camp. Plus, more experienced participants often help newcomers, which provides an element of support that the trainer alone cannot give. 

Here are other major ways that fitness boot camps benefit you and your clients. 

Fitness Boot Camp Benefits for You

If you don't offer a boot camp as part of your fitness business, you're missing out on serious dollars. 

Fiscally speaking, boot camps are a no-brainer. Compared with aerobics, weight lifting, Spinning, treadmill workouts or in-home training, boot camps are a virtual money mill. 

Here's why: They are an efficient use of your time. As the trainer, you typically handle large groups of people at once. 

Class sizes range from 20 to more than 50 people, so you can afford to charge less per person, which means a greater potential for plenty of people to sign up. 

Look at it this way: If you were to charge $10 per person for each session, and you had an average class size of 20 people, you'd collect $200 for a one-hour session. 

It's hard to charge that much for a one-on-one training session! 

Boot camps help you make money, but they also save you money because there are no overhead costs. 

You could hold your program in parks, school gymnasiums, parking lots, parking garages, or any place you can fit your class; you don't need a studio or facility. 

You can arrange for a typical boot camp location for little or no money. If you're planning to use a public park for a group boot camp, be sure to make any necessary reservations with park officials.

Of course, if you already have a studio or facility, boot camp classes will make that space especially cost-effective. 

The fact that you don't need a lot of equipment to run a boot camp means you reduce your expenses even further. Bodyweight exercises, such as pushups and sit-ups, form the core of most boot camp programs. Even if you decide to include dumbbells or resistance bands, you can pass that expense onto clients as a one-time fee. Or, you could have your business logo and contact info imprinted on the equipment to further promote your business and write it off at tax time. 

Boot Camp Benefits for Clients 

There are two main aspects that keep clients coming back to boot camp programs time after time: these programs are effective and fun. 

Let's tackle the effectiveness part first. As you know, the key to weight loss, which is what the majority of boot campers are looking for, is burning calories. Boot camps cram a lot of exercise and calorie-burning into a short time. 

Clients don't have to fool around with working out for 90 minutes to 2 hours every day. Forty-five minutes, boot-camp-style, is enough. Plus, participants benefit from higher metabolism for the rest of the day, which means they burn more calories for longer. And unlike many Nautilus and weight lifting programs that isolate only a few muscles, boot camp movements - such as pushups, pull-ups, jumping jacks and running - recruit many muscles in every exercise. 

So, instead of doing 3 sets on every machine in the gym, boot camp participants get the job done much more efficiently. Besides their effectiveness, boot camps appeal to people because of the fun and social factors. 

Sure, Denise Austin or Jake Steinfeld videos are motivating-but video workouts are very impersonal, and the motivation often lasts only for the first week or so. 

With a boot camp, participants get personal motivation from their trainer that is fresh and new every session. Boot camp trainers can also correct exercise form and postures for clients to keep them safe and get the most from the exercises. 

A video can't do that. The bottom line is that boot camps make your bottom line look better. They are an efficient and profitable way to attract more clients and deliver effective fitness to more people. Adding a fitness boot camp to your programming reinforces your image as an effective, affordable fitness professional.
