speed, agility, explosive lifting, vertical leap

Anyone know any good programs that have to due with these? I'm training for basketball.

your best results will come from a program that encorporates a lot of plyometrics and olympic lifting.

A question for the 14yearoldmonster. Is there such a thing as durable (or endurance) power?

Check out the Westside barbell routines. It's called dynamic training that builds speed-strength like jumping and running. You basically do your power lifts (ie squats) with 55%-65% of your 1 rep max as fast as you can for reps. It trains your central nervous system to react faster and trigger muscle responses harder.
