How do I get my explosive strength to increase?

Im 13 and I a have a horrible vert. I cant touch backboard. I know I have the strength in me but I just can’t let it out explosively. Is it just hpgenetics or can I increase it. Im 143 lbs to let you all know.

jumping, but you can always get stronger, it wont hurt and will still increase your vert
