I’m about to share my story, as I am sure that there are lots of you out there who have been through what I have been through, envisioning the day you’d finally know how to throw down a nice, powerful jam on the basketball court.

All that I can say is that I was very much like you not too long ago. All of it changed nearly 2 years back, which I will get to in a second. First, let me give you a little background info about me. I’m Blake, I’m five foot 9, and I deem myself a rather respectable athlete.

Growing up, basketball was consistently my number one sport, and I desired nothing more than to learn how to dunk. I’d watch the contest each year, play on the Nerf hoop in my bedroom, and if there was YouTube back then, I can just about guarantee you that I would have been on it daily, watching highlights as often as possible.

In any case, I was on my high school basketball team. I was consistently a respectable competitor, one of the more skilled players on my team, however I was always wanting to dunk the ball, but couldn’t. It was a combination of my short height as well as the fact that my leg muscles (and some additional things that I’d afterward learn about) were not strong enough, and I had no idea how to dunk a basketball.

I finally let up on learning how to dunk a basketball. It was not the end of life as I knew it, however it was somewhat disappointing. Well, at least I was, however, a good basketball player.

Long story short, a few years went by after high school, and one day I came into contact with an old classmate named James. He was at least two inches shorter than me, and I watched him dunk right before my very eyes. I was plainly stunned!

James ended up introducing me to a method that changed the way I jump. I now know how to dunk a basketball…and I can dunk with style.
