As I mentioned in my last blog, I'm not a very good jumper, which ends up hindering my ability to get rebounds. Most basketball stars are easily able to jump high, including someone who went to my school. Pat Connaughton led my school in scoring in his senior year in 2011. He then went on to Notre Dame and then the NBA for the Portland Trail Blazers. At the NBA Draft Combine, he jumped 44" on the vertical jump test, which is only 1.5 inches less than the record set in 2001. If I had the ability to jump even half of this height, I could improve my game exponentially.
