How do you get better at jumping?

Hi, I'm 5"1 and I need help on howing to get my jump up higher. Any help would be appreciated.

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."-Michael Jordan

Do calf raises, 150-250 a day then when you go outside to practice start with layups jump AS HIGH AS YOU CAN while doing your layups, and oncee the calf raises get easy hold dumbells.

The best techniques to jump higher are the ones that are plyometrically enhanced.

I am the same hight and had the same problem. Try bank shots.I don't know why but they work better. If you don't like that, jump higher and higher every day untill you get stonger.
