What Exactly is Jump Experts
As we stated earlier, to call Jump Experts a flat out vertical jump program would be simply wrong. A better term to categorize Jump Experts would be to call it a "vertical jump information resource". That is because Jump Experts is not a program in itself, but rather a collection of reports and audio interviews with almost twenty of the leading experts in vertical jump training today. Jump Experts boasts that it has over 440 pages worth of reports on vertical jumping and over 7 hours of audio with piorneers in vertical jump training. There is so much information that you can learn from here that it is truly shocking when you first receive Jump Experts. We will break down our review into three pieces: the special reports, the programs, and the audio interviews.
The Special Reports
There are over 20 special reports written by vertical jump training experts contained within Jump Experts. The topics cover a wide range of areas, ranging from vertical jump training as a whole to specific aspects of training such as diet, stretching, kettleball training, stair exercises, and much more. Each expert has written one or two of these special reports, and put a lot of time and effort into the final product we end up reading here. If you end up purchasing Jump Experts we would highly recommend that you read all of these special reports, because the information contained in them will undoubtedly help you to acheive far greater results using any program than you would have if you had never read them.
The Programs
There are several jumping programs scattered throughout the special reports section of Jump Experts that you can try. These were designed and written by experts in vertical jump training and would be worth a shot if you so choose. However, we do not think that the programs contained within Jump Experts are the strength of its content. If you are purchasing Jump Experts it will serve you best as a learning device and a treasure chest of vertical jump information, but more on that later. Basically, we would recommend an outside program for your actual vertical jump training.
The Audio Interviews
This was probably the most interesting part of Jump Experts for us here at Vertical Jump Explosion. It was interesting to hear some of the thoughts and opinions of many of the authors of the other elite vertical jump programs all in one place and on audio recording to top that. Some of the experts that appear on these audio interviews include Kelley Bagget of the Vertical Jump Developmental Bible, Jacob Hiller of the Jump Manual, Adam Linkenauger of Vertfreak 101, and more than ten others who are noted experts in vertical jump training. Each interview is a recorded phone call between Virgil Aponte and the special guest. There doesn't seem to be a specific pattern or outline for these interviews, as each takes a different path. All we can tell you is that there are hours worth of audio conversations between professional vertical jump trainers that you will not want to miss!
Vertical Jump Explosion's Thoughts on Jump Experts
You will notice that we are not assigning a numerical score to Jump Experts. That is simply because there is nothing similar to it on the market right now. It is a unique product which the author Virgil Aponte described to us in an email as a "collaboration of vertical jump training information". With this many professionals on the subject of vertical jumping working together to create one product, you know it is going to be good. Jump Experts can serve many purposes, such as:
- a information supplement to athletes
- athletes using Jump Experts in conjuction with other vertical jump programs
- athletes performing the actual programs within Jump Experts
- use by coaches to learn how to properly and effectively train their players
- trainers, strength coaches, etc
- anyone can learn A LOT from Jump Experts
