Stop Traditional Jump Training

Why Traditional Jump Training Plateaus Athletes

Box jumps, depth jumps, resistance bands—these tools work only if the system is prepared.

When athletes plateau, it’s usually because:

• The nervous system is protecting the body

• The athlete doesn’t trust deceleration

• The movement pattern is inefficient

• Fatigue outweighs adaptation

This is why some athletes jump higher with less training volume—because the system is aligned.
