basically you want to get your squat (free wt barbell not smith machine, db or leg press) up to 1.5 x your bodyweight in pds before doing anything specific so if your not there yet, that's what you should be doing

I agree totally with swanso. The squat is key. I would also recommend power cleans.

Squats are great
but one thing that gives me alot of edge in sports is split jerks--in which u hold 2 dumbells and jump into the final position of a lunge, hold, then jump again into the final position of a lunge for the next side
