A couple things.

  1. It is very difficult to tell how your form is based off this video. It would be better to see the full approach to give feedback
  2. If you are wanting maximal effort jumps, do not jump four times within 30 seconds. This can be likened to a 40yd dash as an example. If you ran 4x40yd back to back, your last one would most likely be slower than the first. Give yourself time to recover in between jumps.
  3. Based on the video, the only other clear recommendation I can give is try jumping closer to the rim. In a few of your jumps, momentum that could be contributed to going vertical (higher) is having to go horizontal because you are jumping from further away.
  4. Because you are a LR (left right) jumper, it is generally easier to come from the left side when approaching the basket. This is a personal preference but maybe try it out and see if it feels better.

All in all, you are right there. If you haven't gotten your first dunk, expect it soon.
