As part of my never ending quest to improve your basketball skill development, I posted on ways to improve your shooting workouts last week…That being said, I decided that it might be a good idea to give you an example of a great drill that I find challenging and fun.
A Sample Jump Shooting Drill
Corner to Wing Shooting Drill
Basketball skill development should be an integral part of your basketball practices. At our practice we spend at least 20 minutes a practice on shooting. To become good at shooting the basketball and maintain that ability takes repetition, and this repetition should come in ways that apply to your offense. You have all heard me mention before that basketball players need to take games shots, at game spots, at game speed. This is a key to component to all aspects of basketball skill development and training at Elite Basketball Training.
65 Shot Drill
Shooting the basketball is a necessity in daily practices and could never understand how coaches could neglect this. Good shooting is based on repetition and if players do not keep up with this during the season, their shooting percentages will plummet. This post will give you a great shooting drill to incoroporate into your practices.
What it Takes to Shoot Like Ali Farokmanesh
The great part about the NCAA tournament is that you get to watch guys who are not household names step up and play basketball on such a big stage. Ali Farokmanesh is no acception and man can this guy shoot the basketball. In the first round he hit a deep three in the closing seconds to help his team beat UNLV. Then for an encore, in the second round on a 2 on 1 break with 21 seconds left in the game and his team only up one point, he pulls up and nails the three pointer that stopped the Kansas Jayhawks.
Game Shots at Game Spots at Game Speed
Too many times, basketball players go out and work on their jump shot and the work out does not consist of anything more than bouncing the ball a few times, firing up a shot from NBA range, getting the rebound, and repeating the process over and over again. This does not in any way produce a good jump shooter and will improve the players jump shot only slightly more than if they stayed on the couch and played NBA Live. Basketball players need to take game shots at game spots at game speed.
