My name is Andy Nicholson. I'm 47 years YOUNG and still chasing my dunking dreams! I want to help you reach your dunking dreams too and invite you to attend The Dunk Camp where you can learn from the best dunkers in the world! Follow @thedunkcamp
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.
So...I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for The Dunk Camp!
We now have athletes signed up to attend from 7 countries!!!
Australia
Canada
China
Chile
Mexico
Saudi Arabia
United States
We also just added Jonathan Clark as one of our pro dunkers! Maybe he will hit the double eastbay at The Dunk Camp! With how things are coming together, I won't be surprised if he does!
As of today, we have about 10 spots left and I would really like to fill them. If you are thinking about coming, DO IT! Send me a DM on Instagram for a special discount available to the 3 people who still read this blog. LOL!
There are still a few spots available! For anyone who still reads my blog, I will give you a special discount! :) Just DM me on Instagram @thedunkcamp for details.
Let's gooooooooooo!!!!
Here's a progress video for one of our pro dunkers - CJ Champion. Insane!!! If you want to jump higher and dunk, come to the Dunk Camp!!!
Some of the coolest experiences of my life have happened during these last several years of chasing my dunking dreams. But, I think the news I'm sharing with you today is the one I'm the most excited about.
I am very pleased to announce "The Dunk Camp" will take place June 18-21 at the Karl Malone Training Center in Utah. The Dunk Camp will bring together some of the top trainers and best dunkers in the world to help aspiring and elite dunkers learn everything from the basics to the secrets of dunking and jumping higher.
Here are just a few of the trainers and dunkers who will be there:
We will be doing extensive testing on each athlete's jumping, agility, and mobility so our trainers can create a customized 12 week training program for each individual. If you want to get your first dunk, get your hops back, or take your athleticism to the next level -- I believe this will be the best way to accomplish those goals.
More than anything, I can't wait to be in the same gym with approximately 60 guys who all share the same dream and are working to get better. The energy will be electric and I believe it will be something we remember for the rest of our lives. I can't wait!!!
Please leave a comment, share with your friends, and even better - come to The Dunk Camp! It would be amazing to meet and train with you!
