How I Learned How to Dunk a Basketball

by Ryan Lacioca

I’m here to share my story, as I know for a fact that there are heaps of you out there who’ve experienced what I have been through, dreaming of the day you’d at long last have the ability to execute a great, nasty dunk on the basketball court.

The only thing I can say is that I was very much like you not too long ago. Everything changed nearly two years ago, which I’ll get to shortly. First, allow me to offer you a little background info about me. I go by Blake, I am foot nine, and I consider myself a relatively good athlete.

Growing up, basketball was consistently my #1 sport, and I wanted zero more than to learn how to dunk. I’d see the contest each season, play on the Nerf hoop in my room, and if there were any such thing as Youtube during those days, I can nearly assure you that I would have watched it daily, seeing highlights as often as possible.

Anyhow, I was on my high school basketball team. I was always a respectable competitor, one of the better players on my squad, but I was never able to dunk. It was a mixture of my stature along with the reality that my quads, hamstrings, and calves (and some other details that I would afterward find out about) weren’t muscular enough, and I had no idea how to dunk a basketball.

I finally gave up on figuring out how to dunk a basketball. It wasn’t the end of the world, but it was kind of disappointing. Well, at least I was, however, a great basketball player.

Long story short, a couple more years elapsed following high school, and one day I ran into an old buddy named James. He was at least two inches shorter than I am, and I watched him dunk right in front of my very eyes. I was extremely taken aback!

James proceeded to introduce me to a training course that altered the way I play basketball. I presently know how to dunk…and I can dunk with flair.
