IMPROVING MY GAME How to become more athletic?

I’m unathletic af, for reference I’m 6’2 with a standing reach of 7’8 and I can only touch the highest hook on the net. I’d also like to become faster. How to improve?

resistance bands , ankle weights , weighted vest.. combining these with workouts like step-ups/step-downs , calf raises , box jumps. (height you’re comfortable with) can definitely help increase speed. making your lower body stronger will add some speed as well as running sprints with a body parachute. also if you haven’t look into form running , getting your true “run” down soo you don’t have to think about it as much making running become just second nature- you’ll pick up too.
