Most players train their shot the wrong way. Reps alone won’t fix your shot. “Perfect” shots never happen in games. That’s not the skill we should be practicing. The skill we should be practicing is to be repeatable in different situations.

Identify the root cause -> create the adjustment -> train the movement -> add pace and movement -> add variability

Train shots with:
• Decisions before the shot
• Live closeouts
• Different footwork

Emma made a lot of progress over the course of the Summer. We worked on leading with the ball rather than her elbows. You can see her “triangle aka elbows” in the first few clips is way too wide. This causes her to use a lot of her left hand to shoot and she is almost shooting against her body with her right hand.

A lot of the shot comes down to where her right hand is placed to start. Her right hand was too far on the side of the ball rather than being under in the first few clips. This then causes her to want to use her left hand to shoot rather than balance the ball/body.

I had her use a strap to force her hand/elbow to be in a better spot and you can see in the last few clips her triangle isn’t nearly as wide as it was. Her right elbow is in a better spot which is great for stability and control and she minimizes using her left hand to shoot.

Three motion versus a two motion shot. Andrea has done a great job being more efficient with her ball path. In her first two clips she has an out, up, out motion with her shot. We put a pole in front of her and forced her to maintain connection which you can see in the last few clips. She does a much better job having a continuous ball path. We do not want to push the ball away from our body and become disconnected. Maintaining connection allows us to have more power, control and leverage with the basketball. Looking forward to watching her play at Northwest Missouri state. Go cats
