    (I'm asian, and my dad's short)
    And growing up i was always scared of the big orange ball and i never got to touch one until 6th grade, now that i'm in 8th i found basketball a fun sport and wanted to try it out, but its people who watch me fail at it keep me down, i didnt want to join their game because i am afraid that i might mess their game up. Right now i am still a dreamer and i just hope that i wont stay like that forever.

Grab a basketball and go meet up with some friends or even make new ones by just going to play! If they’re nice people, they’ll never keep you away from playing and you’ll be able to get better while practicing with them! Never be afraid to play the game the world loves🏀

    I'm 6'3 w/shoes on and I have a 6'5 wingspan with an 8ft standing reach I can do some pretty cool dunks after about a few years of weight training, core strengthening, learning that I'm a two foot jumper not a one foot jumper, and practicicing two foot jump form all eventually led to me throwing down some dope dunks ... I know I'm relatively tall but this did take alot of hard work and consistency. BEST TIPS I HAVE ... PRACTICE VERT JUMP, DO SQUATS AND CALVE RAISES FOR LEGS, AND DO AS MUCH CORE WORK AS POSSIBLE ! CORE STRENGTH HELPS MORE WITH VERT THAN LEG STRENGH.

    Wow, so impressed, Im 6 feet now that Im 21and I can dunk but I was a short guy throughout my life which didn't help me at all in basketball but when my couch told me to practice at home or at the gym my vertical jump, things changed, I never thought that I could get the results I was getting in a month period. It was my mindset too that blocked me and I wasnt motivated to train my self. Everyone out there reading this, be consistent, never give up something you started cause we stop when we are done and work in silence, impress everyone with your RESULTS, not the talking.

    I’m honestly blessed to have a somewhat high vertical jump. I was born with it. You really inspire me more to do great things. I’m a sophomore in high school and I can almost dunk. My goal is to be dunking at the end of the year. The hops really brought attention in because no one expected me to jump that high. I just wanna say what an incredible journey you’ve had 🔥 I will not take my hops for granted✊🏽

    I’m 5’5 and half and 15 years old, but I’ve touched Rim on a 10FT Net once and I’m determined to do better! This video is truly inspirational and I hope I can improve my Vertical so I can start dunking before I hit University/College🙏🏽

      JBerle2111 The names sound somewhat familiar but I don’t know them! I graduated high school in 2013 so it depends on how old they are!

    Hey Andrew. Im 33. I'm 5'10" and I want to increase my vertical. 1 of my dreams is to dunk just to see how it feels. Do you still have a program?
