The SWIFT Method

We don't run just to run. We don't jump just to jump.

Most programs make athletes tired. Ours makes them intentional. Every rep builds something she can use at the net, in the order the body learns it.

  1. Approach mechanics first

    Hip height, arm swing and the penultimate step, drilled without a ball until the pattern is clean. Then rebuilt into the full approach.

  2. Strength that transfers

    Squats, trap bar pulls and single-leg work paired with explosive jumps, so the weight room shows up as height at the net.

  3. Speed, not conditioning

    Short, fully rested sprints and first-step work. We don't run just to run. Practice already covers the conditioning.

  4. Landing control

    An athlete who cannot land is not ready to jump more. Landing is trained before every plyometric is earned.

Coach Swift is an amazing coach. My daughter currently goes to St. Edwards University and she plays volleyball there. She's been going with Swift since her freshman year of high school and loves going with him. She has seen improvement with her speed and agility, she has gotten faster on the court.

I trained with Swift for years, and the difference in my game was huge. As a libero, speed, agility, and endurance were everything, and his workouts were always organized, challenging, and exactly what I needed. I became quicker, more explosive, and overall more confident in my game.

Coach Swift worked with my son to improve his speed and form. My son consistently showed improvement throughout the time that he worked with Coach Swift. Coach was able to work with our busy schedule to find a time to work with him weekly.

Coach Swift · Vertical Approach Jump Program

Jump higher. Land smarter. Build a jump that lasts.

Built by Coach Jim Swift, CSCS

Most vertical jump programs wear athletes out with endless plyos and reps at the Vertec. This one builds the jump from the ground up: approach mechanics, explosive strength, and landing control, so the inches you gain still show up when the level goes up.

  • The approach rebuilt from the 2-step up: hip height, posture, eyes, arm swing, weight distribution
  • Contrast strength blocks so the weight room shows up as height on the court
  • Landing mechanics and Vertec testing prep programmed into every phase

“She's been going with Swift since her freshman year of high school and loves going with him. She has gotten faster on the court.”
