One of my unproven beliefs is that if you can perform a full
depth single leg squat with good technique, you're probably not going to suffer one of the myriad non contact lower body injuries that typically seem to plague players.
By now you should have the strength to drive out of the hole of a full
depth single leg box squat, but if you are more comfortable, set the box height at something that is again challenging but doable.

Continue to work on your
single leg assisted squats adding a bit more
depth as you feel stronger, until you are able to perform a deep squat fully on one
leg before moving on to a full pistol squat.
