I heard it said recently that like all good headers of the ball he has the ability to hang in the air.
Can this be taught or is it natural?

Judy Free, did 'the old way' test for prowess in the vertical leap and is it still done at places like the AIS?
What?



Since JF seems to prefer 'the old school' methods which included physical prowess, I was interested to know if it was something looked for or tested in the old days... and whether places like the AIS and the 'new way' still do such testing.

The AFL for instance do vertical leap tests at draft camp, along with beep tests and all the other benchmarking.
