Our friend Peter Robert Casey recently posted an interesting article about a new experiment that’s underway called Can He Dunk?. The project that launched last week, showcases a group of high school basketball players who can’t dunk, puts them through a rigorous (goal specific) 10-week training program, and measures the results at the end. The mastermind behind the project, Alan Stein, is an internationally renowned strength and conditioning coach. He says that the purpose of this project is “to show the world the realistic results you can attain from proper training. We aim to prove how fraudulent those folks are that claim they can help you get a 50” vertical or improve a player’s vertical jump by 12 inches in 6 weeks”, but also adds “we make no promise that any of the participants will be able to dunk. We are merely showing real players with real results.”
