All three of my teenage sons have very good verticals (30”+). One of my sons has a particularly exceptional vertical jump. Combine that with the fact that he is tall for his age, has reasonably long arms, isn’t yet in high school, and that makes his jumping ability a common talking point at basketball and football games. Many people know I am a trainer and a strength coach, and I have been surprised how many people have asked me, “Is a good vertical from training or genetics?”
Vertical Jump: It is Genetics or is it Training?
