Late Start
For those who don’t know me already, my name is Collin Weller and i’m the founder of “Wellerathletics”.
Unlike most top performing individuals, I started my jumping career relatively late at the age of 17. At this point I was fully grown out and hadn’t been doing any type of sport whatsoever. There was pretty much nothing outstanding about my athletic abilities whatsoever.
When I first started jumping, many people thought I would never even be able to do a regular dunk on a 10 foot rim.
5 years later and i have a 40″/102 cm max vertical jump despite average genetics. I dealt with injuries, closed gyms, cold winters and no open basketball courts during that time and still came out successful after those 5 years.
I truly believe that ANYONE can AT LEAST GET CLOSE to a 40″ vertical jump if they put there mind to it and train hard, so why not take that chance and start your journey? It may take a couple of years but the results are worth the hard work.
If you have above average genetics you might even surpass that mark in a short time and get to be a world class athlete.
Just imagine what you could do in your sport if you had a 40″ + vertical. Let it be basketball or volleyball, even track and field.
Unless you try your best, you will never know.
On that note, lets start training! 🙂
