Plyometric shock training is like progressive overload for your ankles. As we slowly build up tendon strength and elastic energy from developing ankle stiffness, athlete’s can then drastically decrease ground contact time through max sprint velocity and sport specific bounds. This drill is great prior to single leg loaded power to higher vertical leaps. Use low level plyometrics as a guide to improve nervous system functionality and rapidly increase ankle stiffness. If your ankles are weak, immobile, or stiff, high level plyometrics is a no go. I will incorporate every low level sequence in here that helped me master high level, but if you haven’t—start jumping rope! Jumping rope will help the mind and muscle connection or proprioception sensory faster than any basic exercise, and you can do it anywhere.
