There could be any number of reasons why your vertical jump isn't improving.
Do you have the correct knowledge? Do you know the correct principles, practices and techniques?
If you do have the right knowledge are you applying it correctly? There is a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it or doing it correctly. If you are training incorrectly it will play a big part in your lack of progress. The problem is, knowing if you are actually training correctly or not. This is where following a proven program that is created by someone who really knows what they are talking about becomes essential. Unfortunately there are many programs out there written by people with no expertise whatsoever in the field of vertical jump explosion techniques.
Because everyone is different they have different questions and it is necessary to have access to someone who is an expert in the field to answer individual questions so they can keep you focused in the correct way on the correct training methods and techniques. Professional athletes have one-on-one coaches to guarantee that their training is effective.
When you don't see results it is easy to become discouraged and that is why many people quit and so never improve or reach their potential. Training in the wrong techniques which won't help you improve is a waste of time, energy and money.
It is important to find the correct information and to stop incorrect training. Discipline plays a big part in your success but training long and hard is of little benefit if you are not training in the correct manner. It is a matter of quality vs quantity. It is necessary to find a system that is proven to work that people are getting results from.
Unfortunately many programs out there are not training in the correct manner. Most train for endurance which is not what you are after. They don't realize that strength plus quickness is what equals explosion. If you are doing only endurance training it is like running long distances to train for short sprints it simply does not work. You use quite different techniques for each type or length of race. You have to train for what you want.
To improve your vertical jump it isn't just a matter of improving your endurance that is only a part of the equation. Instead you need to take a multi-faceted approach covering all aspects including such things as nutrition , muscle gain, injury prevention, the recovery phase and much more. These are all important parts of any vertical explosion training. In all there are 9 different facets to the ultimate vertical and you need to systematically improve in each one.
To fully reach your potential it is necessary to find a well proven system that covers all aspects, that gives you the right technique and it is up to you to implement it, it will require effort and dedication.
