NOTES: *A word on "failure". What is "to failure"? Well it isn't letting go when you're tired or uncomfortable. It is, however, letting go when the mind says "hold on", but the muscles just won't listen and involuntarily release. That is what it means to do something until "failure".

When the Box Jump height starts to be significantly more than half of one's height, it begins to become a mental game more than a physical game. Many athletes possess the power to make the clearance. Many athletes psyche themselves out before the execution and fail to perform due to a mental failure. And that, in sum, really is the purpose of the exercise. Physical tasks to produce psychological changes.
