Regarding box jumping, we confused knee angle on landing position on the box with knee angle in landing position in a depth jump.  See below.

It comes down to our favorite slogan: What Are You Training For?

We stand by above 90 degrees on the landing.  Remember the training goal of CFFB.  For those who have attended a CFFB seminar, you know that all movements within the training system are completed to reinforce the posture and position that are required to maximize athleticism in field sport.  We call that the “Athletic Position.”

    Thanks for addressing my question! I’ll commence with the Rx’ed Dick Punches after my DWOD today.

    Denny and Steve, you guys are still young guys. 8)

    I’ve been doing collegiate for a year, but a buddy and I dropped to amateur after our volleyball season just for fun. So long as I don’t injure myself, recovery seems fine. You have a few years to go yet

    Thanks for tackling my question guys. I don’t track humidity like Steve, but should take some time to review my notes and look for some trends. Really interested in Steve’s & Luke’s idea to take a look at some of the data long-term. If you guys need any help with your project give me a shout.

    @Luke: confusing me with someone else. We met up at the NH cert last year, but I never show my self nudes on the first date.

    Same jam, different jelly!

    Just bringing a different philosophical perspective to the PA world.

    1. Poor Denny.
    2. I worded my question rather poorly and was looking for overlying principles. Luckily, John and Luke are much smarter and provided. Appreciate that!
    3. Intuitively, I always suspected excessive contortion to land a box jump was counter to vertical leap development, but could never really articulate it. Thanks for clarifying.
    4. Re:”putting on a show” at your booth – while researching something completely unrelated, I stumbled upon reviews of other well-known S&G training seminars. Complaints ranged from disorganization, extreme tardiness, inattentiveness to outright favoritism towards the more skilled, and worst, ultimately not providing for the needs of the paid attendees. Basically, it was just a big money-grab. Makes me appreciate the work and passion you guys put in that much more.
