If I was you I would work on dribbling drills the most. They will certainly help you in about every aspect of the game. \n\nWell, if you want to increase your distance, you need to strength (build up) your arms. If you don't already do weight training, I would recommend that for a starter. \n\nSome inside exercises that are really difficult & a very good workout cario wise is something called "Back-To-The-Basics!"\n\nDo 100 Jumping-Jacks\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 Mock Jump Rope\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 punches (side-to-side twisting, back & forth, only moving upper body only) \nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 jumps (just jump up & down on tips of feet)\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 twist-&-turns (basically, just keep feet together & jump side to side while twisting a little 45 degree to the left when going to the right & 45 degrees to the right when going left.\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\n\nNow, once you do that just repeat it 3 more times then your done. It's a great cario workout!! enjoy!

The key is to keep a long and constant stride.  To get to that point you should run a lot of hills.  This will get your knees to rise higher.  Another important part to improving is to get your wind.  When you breath in a rhythm that is comfortable to you, the air keeps the body energized.  You should time an inhale after three to seven short exhales.  This activity should take place on every step.  The last part to practice is that sprint to the finish.  Only you will know where that starts.  When you pass the finish line, you should have nothing left in your  tank.  You coach should be able to assist you after that.  Some runners like to start the sprint going into the last turn, some are comfortable in sprinting the last 200, and others even start after the second to last turn.  that final kick  is what makes the most difference.  However, you must be able to keep up with everyone up to that point.\n\nIf you work on leg strength and your breathing, your times should improve quickly.

greetings aspiring gold medalist\n\nIn my pursuit of record breaking I have found it useful to shoot higher than my intended target...My best was achieved when I trained for the longer distance, developing greater stamina and speed in the shorter event.  You can achieve your goal...and you will.

you first should do plyometrics to improve leg muscle, do jump rope, and also work on technique.  Technique is very important when you try to jump.  Watch some of the best jumpers in the NBA and try to do the same technique as them.

Sorry, but no. It will increase your leg power. In basketball, that will probably translate to better stability when it comes to boxing out for a rebound and may even give you slightly better footwork overall. To increase your vertical leap, the proven technique is to try doing depth jumps or jumping down from a height. Or even any other exercise that involves isolating your calf muscles can help even slightly.

You need to want it more than anyone...\n\nGet up and practice when everyone is sleeping...\n\nLift weights, run sprints, practice your free throws, focus mainly on your hamstrings and calves when you work out...\n\nPractice taking off for your leaps with your strong foot...\n\nIE explode to the hoop...Make your strongest step your last step, you will get it soon enough...I never thought I would, but it happens...\n\nPractice while you are young enough. Time flies, and then you can't play anymore...keep your head up, do your best. its worth it.

stand on the balls of your feet and go up and down to build more muscle in your calves. and jumping will help jumping.\nIt would be easier with weights.

All the techniques listed before me are good--but the one that helped me *(and I am a girl, so if you're a guy this will probably help even more)* was this: My coach gave us backpacks and filled them up with two or three books (about ten-fifteen lbs), then we did squat jumps in intervals of tens. Gradually for a month we increased the weight all the way to twenty lbs, and our vertical jumps got better because when he took the weight off, we sprung higher! Hope this works--it sure did for me! =)

try using a normal weight exercise, increase the reps to 12 and maintain at the set of 3 for all exercise. this might work. I have tried it and it works for me.

use some tape and make 4 x's in a box shape with another x in the middle. the hop on one foot hitting all x's as quick as you can moving from bottom x's to top x's then back down and that is one set. then switch feet. i usually time myself and do 5 set continually trying to always beat my time.

Stamina comes with practice. If you have a difficult time continuously swimming long distances, break your workout down and do a pyramid or ladder set. Pyramid sets you gradually increase the distance of each set and finish with your longest distanced set. For example, 5 sets of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500. Ladder sets you increase your distance, then decrease and finish with a short distance. For example, 5 sets of 200, 300, 400, 300 and 200.Increase your distances or the number of sets as you get used accustomed to the sets. Set a goal of how many yards you will like to accomplish in your workout. If you workout for an hour, try to complete 3000 yards, then increase to 3200 and so on.

Try doing squats, they work great.\n\nAlso ankle raises. Just get up on your toes up and down, repeat over and over. Best thing about that is you can do it anywhere. While you brush your teeth, in the shower etc. \n\nJump up and touch the backboard up and down over and over see how many times you can do it in a row.  Helps with rebounding.
