Why does an athlete’s vertical stop improving even though they’re still training?

Because jumping higher isn’t just about doing more jumps.

A plateau could come from a lack of strength, the inability to produce force quickly, inefficient coordination, accumulated fatigue, or a program that no longer provides the right stimulus.

That’s why we don’t want to randomly add more plyometrics every time progress stalls.

We want to identify what’s actually limiting the athlete.

Then we can train that quality, measure the response, and adjust from there.

That’s the difference between simply working hard and training with intention.

📌 Save this for your athlete’s next training block.

Every exercise should have a reason.

For volleyball athletes, landing is part of the game—over and over again. That’s why we train athletes to not only jump, but to absorb force, control their body, and prepare for the next movement.

Exercises like this help us work on:

🏐 Single-leg strength and stability
⚡ Landing and deceleration control
💪 Force absorption through the hip, knee, and ankle
🔥 Confidence in positions athletes experience on the court

We’re not adding exercises just to make workouts harder. We’re choosing movements that help athletes become stronger, more explosive, and better prepared for the demands of volleyball.

Your competition is training. Are you? 👀

🧠 Concussion recovery is more than waiting for a headache to disappear.

Symptoms are important, but they’re only part of the picture.

Recovery can involve evaluating and progressively challenging:

🧠 Symptoms
🏃 Exercise tolerance
⚖️ Balance
👀 Visual/vestibular function
⚡ Sport-specific movement
🎯 Cognitive + physical demands

An athlete might feel good sitting in class or resting at home…

but running, changing direction, tracking movement, or processing the chaos of sport can create very different demands.

That’s why return to sport is a **progression**, not a switch.

Gradually increase activity → monitor the response → progress when appropriate.

The goal isn’t simply to become symptom-free at rest.

It’s to safely rebuild tolerance for the demands the athlete needs to handle.

If concussion symptoms are worsening, persistent, or concerning, the athlete should be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Progress isn’t just something you feel, it’s something you can measure.

Whether it’s more strength, a higher jump, faster speed, improved side-to-side symmetry, or hitting a return-to-play milestone, every measurable win tells us the same thing:

The work is working. 📈

At The Rehab Lab, we test, train, and retest so athletes and parents can see exactly where progress is happening—and where there’s still room to grow.

Small improvements stack up. Confidence grows. And eventually, the athlete who walked in on day one isn’t the same athlete standing in front of us today. 💪

Train with purpose. Measure the progress. Keep raising the standard.

The best time to find your athlete’s weak link?

Before the season finds it for them. 👀

A preseason performance + risk assessment can uncover strength deficits, side-to-side differences, mobility restrictions, landing and deceleration issues, and other areas that may be limiting performance.

It’s not about predicting injuries.

It’s about getting objective data so we can make training more intentional.

Instead of waiting until something hurts, we can identify what needs work, train it, and measure the progress.

Assess. Train. Retest. Perform. 💪

What do we see when an athlete cuts?

Changing direction fast isn’t just about speed. It’s about how well an athlete can control and redirect force.

When we coach cutting and deceleration at The Rehab Lab, here are 3 things we’re watching:

1️⃣ Body position: Is the athlete in a strong, athletic position that allows them to brake and redirect efficiently?

2️⃣ Knee + hip control: Can they maintain control through the hip, knee, and foot as forces increase?

3️⃣ Deceleration strategy: Are they absorbing force effectively before trying to explode in a new direction?

These details matter for both performance and injury prevention. The goal isn’t to make athletes afraid of certain positions, it’s to prepare them to own those positions at game speed.

Better brakes → better cuts → more confident athletes. ⚡

Talent might give you an advantage early, but durability and consistency are what separate athletes long term. The ones who stay healthy and continue improving are the ones who invest in their body.

Knee pain when jumping? The knee might not be the whole story. 🦵👀

Jumping and landing require the entire lower body to work together. Ankle capacity, hip strength, movement strategy, training load, and recovery can all be important pieces of the puzzle.

That’s why we don’t want to just chase the painful spot. We want to understand the athlete, assess what may be contributing, and build an intentional plan forward. 💪

Persistent or worsening pain should be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Effort alone is not enough if it is not directed at the right things. If your training is not addressing your weaknesses or preparing you for your sport, you can work as hard as you want and still stay stuck.
