The 3 Biggest Bounce Killers Most Hoopers Miss
Most players think bounce is just lifting heavy or jumping more.
That’s usually why progress stalls.
Before you try to jump higher, check these 3 areas 👇
1️⃣ Ankles & Tendons (Spring)
If your ankles can’t store and release energy, strength won’t matter.
Signs this is your limiter:
• You feel “heavy” off the ground
• Pogos feel slow
• One ankle feels weaker
2️⃣ Power Transfer
Being strong ≠ being explosive.
If force doesn’t move clean through your body, bounce leaks.
• Broad jump doesn’t translate to vertical
• You lose pop on 2nd or 3rd jump
3️⃣ Landing & Stability
Bad landings kill bounce and cause injuries.
• Knee caves in
• You wobble on single-leg landings
• You don’t trust one side
That’s why I recommend starting with a self-check, not a program.
👇
I pinned a FREE 3-Day Bounce Self-Check in this community so you can:
• See what’s actually holding your bounce back
• Build awareness before doing more work
• Protect your joints long-term
No coaching. No pressure. Just understanding your body.
Stay patient. Stay consistent.
Bounce is built — not rushed.
