Review of The Dunk Camp 2018 and what's next...

The Dunk Camp was another dream come true for me in the world of dunking. It's crazy to think where this journey to dunk before I turned 40 years old has taken me. I am so grateful and more convinced than ever that chasing your dreams (whether all of them come true or not) is absolutely worth it!

So...how was the first dunk camp? It was EPIC!!! Here are some of the stats:
  • 48 athletes
  • 12 pro dunkers and trainers
  • 7 countries
  • 4 feet of vert gained in 4 days
  • 82% increased their no-step vertical from Day 1 to Day 4
  • 78% increased their full approach vertical from Day 1 to Day 4
  • 4 guys landed their first dunk on 10 feet
  • Tons more landed new dunks they had never done before
  • 3 dunk contests
  • 1 insane dunk show
  • Priceless memories and friendships 
There were several highlights for me...but probably the biggest ones were seeing guys hit their first dunks on 10 feet. You will always remember your first dunk and for them to have that happen in the same gym with 60 other guys obsessed with dunking and being able to celebrate that moment with them was incredible. Here's one of those moments:

If you are a fan of dunking and the dunking world (which I assume you are since you found this blog), you may know "Slamfromabove" on YouTube. He made this great video that does a great job providing a recap of the camp. Check it out!



Finally, if you wish you would of gone to The Dunk Camp this year...you will have a chance next year! We have already opened registration for our next camp - June 24-27, 2019. Hope to see you there! Learn more and register at www.thedunkcamp.com.
