How to Dunk if You’re Under 6 Feet Tall: 13 Proven Ways to Jump Higher and Drastically Increase Your Vertical Jump in 4 Weeks (Vertical Jump Training Program in Black&White) Paperback – March 15, 2017

I found this book while looking for something to improve the skills in basketball. My teenager cousin is very passionate about this game and I’m always trying to help him out with an advice and practical tricks to make him a better player. He is not the tallest bloke in the team and he always wanted to jump higher. Luckily he has a big potential because he is fast and good learner. So I got this book for him and we went through together and tried straight away in the court. I have to admit that many things written in the book were pretty new for us. I found there not only the general explanations how to dunk for short guys but also the workout program including video links with simple and easy instructions “how to” and “how not to”. Especially I found useful vertical jump workout chapter – detailed info why to do that way and not the other way, even in video tutorial you can find the comments of most common mistakes. My cousin now is more motivated to practice how to dunk like a boss.I haven’t read similar articles about that specific subject before.This is a good book for a good price, no regrets.To be good in action you have to know the theory, young players should definitely read it!

I purchased this book for my son after someone told me about the effective techniques that the books illustrates. I have coached a number of sports over the years and I’m always looking for ways to improve athletic performance. My son has begun to do the drills and master the techniques taught in the book. Much like the person who told me about the book, my son is already seeing the benefits of following the book’s plan. I love the fact that the author not only gives excellent workouts to achieve the goal of dunking, but also explains the mechanics of dunking and the necessary tools to help you get there. If you are vertically challenged, like my son, and want to improve your ability to dunk, I would highly recommend this book.

Good info. Helped me a lot.

The info is good, detailing mainly a 4-week program without variations. It REPORTS that nutrition is as important as working out, but gives NO detail on such. Also covers nothing of recovery, with involves more than just rest. Worse, it gives static stretching that has been publicly discouraged by pro trainers for the last 20 years.

Let me start by saying James Wilson is clearly passionate about basketball, as this is a very well written book.I've been playing basketball for several years now, and it isn't easy being 5 9" when trying to learn how to dunk. After purchasing several other unhelpful books on vertical jump training I thought I would never make it, well I was wrong! Wilson outlines tips and techniques on how to basketball dunk regardless of your height!Want to jump higher? Read this book!

I enjoy basketball and playing with my son is the best. I do not have much jump and he always can jump higher than me. I looked all over the internet and nothing worked. Finally, I found this book on “How to Dunk if You’re Under 6 feet tall.” This may best-kept secret ever. It is easy to follow and through a combination of video resources and the author put it in great step-by-step detail, making it easy to understand. The most useful area for me was the instructions and workouts. He effectively explains what works and what does not work. This was great when setting up my own fitness program to improve my vertical jump. I have seen some changes in my jump and continue to see improvements. Best of all for the knowledge you will receive and the improvement you will obtain, this book is also a great price.I would recommend this book for anyone who has a love for the game or just wants a great workout to improve your vertical jump.

This was a 40 page book, and probably a third of that was pictures of people jumping / dunking. The section on biomechanics was rudimentary; I'm not sure the author even understood the studies he tried to describe in this (short) section. The exercises? Box jumps, squats and dead lifts. I actually thought I'd missed a section giving me some real training suggestions. The remainder of the book (which was a significant percentage of the pages) listed daily routines for these few exercises mentioned. It was something I could have found free on the internet. And there's an audiobook for this?? That would probably take 5 minutes to listen to, tops. Don't waste your money.

Here is the thing. Even if you think you do not need this book but you are playing basketball be sure - you need this one. Here is why. I really had no idea this will be met with such enthusiasm. We got the book for the friends son, 16 year old Barty. Next to snickers we gave him, he did not even see or react on this book. We knew he is devoted to this sport and he was much appreciated in his school team so I thought he would take interest. After good few weeks, I got the call from Barty's dad telling me I will receive the call from Barty very soon. Well, he was wrong - I received a call to a game! After the game Barty and his team mates were explaining us how they got the 'missing link' in this work and how they improved jumping and springing power by the advices from this practical manual.
