The First Vertical Jump Test-Mon., Nov. 21, 2011

The normal hoops at church were down at 8 feet so we had to use the side baskets.  Since I couldn't hit the rim, I decided I wanted to use this rim where I could at least gauge how high I could get on the backboard.  This video is painful for me to watch.  It seems like I should be able to run faster and leap with more power if I had my 7 year old and 4 year old daughters riding on my back.  Geez!  Well, it is what it is.  Some people may even think from seeing this that I was sandbagging to make my future efforts look more impressive.  Sadly, that's not the case.  I have AT LEAST 10 inches to gain on my vertical if I want to even have a chance at throwing one down.  It won't be easy but I'm eager to give it a try!
