Between his time as a volleyball coach and working with Force Decks, Daniel Martinez knows the ins-and-outs of vertical jump training like few others in our industry.

Daniel is currently in his fifth year as Trinity’s Head Strength & Conditioning Coach and as Coordinator of the Patrick Stumberg Sports Performance Center.

He is also the coordinator of a conference on sports science and strength & conditioning, which brings top professionals in the field on campus to share best practices.

Prior to his time at Trinity, Daniel was the U.S. consultant for ForceDecks, which works collaboratively with strength & conditioning and sport science departments internationally with teams from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and the United States Olympic Committee.

So in today’s episode, we’re going to take a deep dive into assessing, evaluating and training the vertical jump.
