When Kadour Ziani sat down with Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, the conversation centered on exactly how he does it — the training, the routine, and the years of work behind a body that can touch a rim with his foot.
The conversation moves from the mechanics of extreme vertical jumping into the discipline and repetition it takes to sustain a career built entirely on a physical gift most people will never come close to.
