Below is a link that displays a properly tested 33" vertical leap.

For those unfamiliar with modern sports testing, the use of a Vertec is the only accurate way to determine a vertical leap and is the tool utilized by the NFL and all major sporting organizations worldwide that have an interest in this.
Ability in a vertical leap is almost entirely genetic. Beyond some minor improvements involving technique even the best coaches, like Joe Defranco, can at best add a couple of inches to a Vertec confirmed vertical.
Vertical leap ability is considered the diagnotic for inherent explosive strength, which is the primary charactertistic determining success in money sports.
The bottom line is that if you have a crappy vertical you won't do well in sports that require large amounts of explosive strength and you will not be competitive versus those that do regardless of how hard you try. Likewise, even if you have a crap vertical in a sport that doesn't require it you will still be disadvantaged against athletes that have a better one than you do as they can simply generate more power than you can for a given level of effort.
While champions may be made, because they are competing against other genetic freaks like themselves and fractional improvements matter at that point, an average person will simply get blown out by one of these guys.
Anyone pretending otherwise is simply delusional or inexperienced.
