    Yeah Calves are harder to train for some reason. And how high you jump has less to do with your calvess. I mistakenly thought that a few years ago, but most of the power in a jump comes from your quads and hams, calves help wehn you are jumping from standing position, but you look at most bball players in the league, their calves aren't ? . Calves come into play for Runnig backs and linemen, because they help you drive your legs foward harder, but not in bball.
    Yah calves are the last thing that comes into play as far as jumping..
