This is a self-evaluation, not a training program. The goal is to understand your bounce — not fix it yet. ⸻ Day 1 — Elastic / Spring Check • Pogos (2 feet): 3×15 sec • Single-leg pogos: 2×10 each • Single-leg calf hold: 30–45 sec (lightly hold a wall or any object for balance & stand on ball of your foot and hold) Ask: Quick or heavy? One side weaker? ⸻ Day 2 — Power Transfer Check • Standing vertical jump: 3 tries • Broad jump: 3 tries • Broad → vertical combo: 3 reps Ask: Do you lose power between jumps? ⸻ Day 3 — Stability & Landing Check • Single-leg drop & stick: 3 each side • Single Leg Balance hold: 30 sec each leg • Slow squat hold: 20–30 sec (Slowly squat down and stop at the deepest position you can hold with control) Ask: Wobble? Knee cave? Heel lift? ⸻ Record yourself doing these evaluation & if you want me to give you a free evaluation on what I think you should work based on your video, just subscribe to my YouTube Channel Jolock Entertainment, screenshot it, post it on HERE and type Evaluate Me in the comments and I'll happily look at your video to let you know what you should work on.

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.

Being “Too Small” is a limiting belief. Effort, attitude, and consistency will always even the playing field, said a friend (Former 2x MLB ALL STAR Dee Gordon). Trust in the work and you'll prevail.

Daily Ankle Reset (5-10 Minutes) A simple daily routine to unlock ankle mobility, tendon strength, and smoother movement. Use this before training, hooping, lifting, or as a standalone reset. ⸻ 1️⃣ Ankle Circles — 8 each direction Slow, controlled circles. Focus on full range without forcing it. ⸻ 2️⃣ Toe Sit Stretch — 20 sec Sit on your heels with toes tucked under. Opens the plantar fascia, big toe, arch, and ankle line. ⸻ 3️⃣ Adductor Rock-Back — 6–8 reps each side Outer leg extended to the side. Rock your hips back slowly. Opens the inside knee, groin, and medial chain ⸻ 4️⃣ Butt-to-Heel Sit (Foam Roller Assist If Needed) — 10–15 sec × 2 Use a pad or roller if needed. Decompresses the ankle and knee joint. ⸻ 5️⃣ Short Foot Activation — 6 reps (2–3 sec hold) Grip the floor lightly with your arch. Keep toes relaxed and long. ⸻ 6️⃣ Single-Leg Balance — 20 sec each side Soft knee, tall posture. Stabilize the arch and ankle with smooth control. ⸻ 7️⃣ Mini Soleus Raises — 8 slow reps Knees bent, slow tempo. Builds deep ankle + tendon strength. Why This Works This routine loosens stiffness, improves ankle mobility, strengthens stabilizers, and helps you move smoother on the court. Perfect for hoopers, jump training, and anyone rehabbing or building ankle stability. 📌 Do This Daily 1× a day for maintenance 2× a day during heavy training or soreness lmk if you try this & has it been working 👇
