Where did it say 4 feet? If anything it would probably be in meters, them being in Canada and all.
Also that isn't a true vertical jump as he was moving.
FWIW a true vertical jump of 4' would be higher than Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant, Jason Richardson, and Lebron James.

Not only that, but he jumps from so far away! He could have easily gotten 8-10 inches closer and it would have been easier.

Please watch again.
There was a ton of technique shown here. GSP first throws his arms down while slightly bending his hips and knees which is called "loading" and he lands with virtually the same flexion in his knees and hips. Also, note how his right leg is slightly back. This is PERFECT for someone who is training to spring in from a fighter stance and take someone down.
I hope this could be of some help. |

Watch him sign up for high jump and long jump teams too while he gets ready to wrestle at olympics.

A true vertical would be measured at how high you can touch with your hands, not high far you can pick your knees up |

Camera angle sucks.
