Hey!
Im sixteen and 5'9" with a 5'10" wingspan.
I could touch a 10 foot rim since about a month or two before my 15th birthday (which is in November). About this time last year I could just barely dunk, and my vert was still getting better, but then i got injured! (sprained my left ankle)
It wasnt too severe and i was back grabbing the rim after about a week or two.
In October of 2009 i was still able to grab the rim but then i turned on my ankle again.
I was only out for about a week again this time but when i came back i could just about touch the backboard. Over the next few months my jump was slowly returning to me but i was still a good 2 or 3 inches below the ring.
But then, almost a month ago i injured my ankle worse than ever.. severely sprained a tendon in the back of my leg and damaged ligaments too, i havnt played since.
Im nowhere near 100%, but once im fully recovered i SERIOUSLY want to get my hops back!
it depresses me every time someone asks me can i dunk, or can i touch the rim, or anything like that!
im very much a one foot jumper and its my left foot i jump off, i could never even touch the backboard off two feet!
But yeah anyway, does anyone have any ideas what i can do once iv recovered to help me get my hops back to the way they were?
id really appreciate it!
Thanks!
