Question
I am 15 years old and I am 6 feet tall and I can touch the bottom of the backboard cause I don't really work out. If I work out between 6-8 months and efficiently doing polymeric, etc. Will I be able to dunk in 6-8 months and possibly windmill? Since your an expert in this category please give me a honest reliable answer cause everyone I asked say different things like maybe, depends on genetics,
thanks

Answer
Dear friend,

As long as you work with a schedule on plyometrics, eat well and sleep well, yes I assure you that you will be able to dunk. Windmill is the next step. It also requires quickness in arms and a strong core(abs and back).

Sincerely Yours,
