Explosive energy
This book is great its easy to understand,and the best part about it is this book really works.My speed power and jumping kicks have sky rocketed due to this amazing book.Get explosive power and jumping ability for all sports and you will get results.

no filler, concise and very informing
This book is not very long but contains a lot of information that will help anyone. THere are many myths about getting more exposive. "all you have to do is skip rope" "you don't need to be stronger" "don't do plyometrics they're dangerous, just lift weights" "do a lot of depth jumps." This book dispels myths by looking at the science.

Although the first part of the book is technical, it is not overly difficult. The second part is a detailed listing of the hundreds of exercises that are possible. If you ever wonder how NFL Combine coaches are able to get their athletes to perform so well at the Combine, then this book may shed some light on that.
