This is a video of me doing a 48'' box jump today. In the picture you can see that my hips are at or a little above Stephen's head. Stephen is 6'2'', which means my hips were at about 74'' or so. I should be able to land a 65'' box, but because I have had 7 knee surgeries my knee flexion is very poor and I must land box jumps with mostly straight legs. This shows how important mobility is for athletes and the ability to box jump high as well. We work a ton on mobility with our athletes and ourselves because being strong isn't very helpful if you cannot use it properly in competition.
