Converting from two feet to one foot leaper, anyone here done this?
I jump higher off two feet but I want to be a one foot leaper instead. I dont give a shit about doing cool dunks (since most of them are off two). I just wanna be able to dunk in games but im only 6'1. I can dunk on 9'10 off two feet but i keep backrimming off one.
Should i just stop jumping off two altogether and just focus on one? Idk how to switch because i feel like two feet is more natural to me.

Yeah I'm a one foot leaper and what I did to improve my vertical to dunk easier was to do all your jump with one leg. Also jumping with a medicine ball helps a lot with power. Also One leg jumping involves a lot of core strength so do weighted ab work and planks. I hope my advice helps you. I did this stuff and went from dunking regularly to being able to windmill.

Im 6'0 foot but I was pretty naturally athletic before I got serious in track and athletics. I progress 2 pounds every every 3 weeks. so like 2 to 4 to 6 to 8. I stop at 8 because at that point its strength not explosion.

I somewhat converted from a 1-foot to a 2-feet jumper when I started playing beach v-ball. If you're already doing vert exercises, I think it just comes down to practice. I've always felt weird jumping off two feet, but it got more natural as time went on.

we learned to jump off one foot in like second grade. what coach lets their kids go off two feet in layup lines??? that's like fundamental ABC's of elementary basketball.

Get some of these.
And you jump more off two feet than one in basketball.
Work on two feet.
Just cuz your boyfriend Lavine jumps off one foot, don't change.

very basic layup lines and how to do a layup.
from right side of backboard, you go right hand and right knee up.
