Shooting drill

Placing yourself in game like situations during practice or training simulates that high level you would use during games.

A player needs to understand the brain will revert back to its habits when placed in scared/fearful or confused situations. Therefore, if a player practices at a high level, building his/her confidence and mental toughness, the brain will understand how to get out of those situations,  which is a result of proper training and developing “Good practice/training Habits”.

These particular players tend to excel more on the court and experience more success.

Game Speed Shooting Drill

Set up: Use all baskets with 3 players each basket with 1 basketball

Emphasis: Shooting consistently while sprinting (emphasizing game speed)

Description: If you have 4 baskets occupied: you have a shooter, a passer, a rebounder at each basket.

Each player will shoot elbow to elbow constant moving and receiving passes. The quicker you move the more shoots you will take in a timed 1minute. After 1st shooter, the next person in the group goes, and until the last shooter in the group has completed their shots.

Scenarios:

Each player will keep track of made baskets. Then total all 3 players in the group to get a grand total. The losers will have 20 sit-ups/push-ups, 2 suicides, or 3 full court sprints down and back.
