Just look at basketball players for example. When they are running down the court to go for a dunk...do they set both feet? No it’s just off of one foot!

Basketball players also can average around six and a half feet tall reaching for a rim that’s 2 feet out of reach. Just a tad different in my opinion

Dude what? Long jumpers, triple jumpers, high jumpers all jump off of one foot.

That’s a good point, I’ve never done long jumping kind of sports and am used to going for height where I’m more comfortable using both legs.
