The Rebound Test: How Effort, Anticipation, and Contact Courage Beat Vertical
Forget wingspan and vertical — rebounding starts in the mind.

From film-room patterns to fatigue-proof habits, learn how real rebounders create separation with grit and IQ — not just bounce.
👉 Key topics:
- Why anticipation beats athleticism
- Film-room cues that predict rebounding success
