In this video coach John Shepherd (http://www.johnshepherdfitness.com/blog) takes a look at drop jumps - that's jumps performed from a platform where the athlete has to react to the ground in order to jump upward or forward. Jumps can be made with both feet or from one and you can do multiple contacts.
