BASKETBALL SHOOTING Analysis
Shooting a basketball with accuracy and consistency is one of the most difficult tasks in all of sports, but also the most rewarding. No two shots are ever the same. Our bodies, from our head to our toes, are constantly in motion while we move around the court. Even being in the ‘same’ positions on the court change by fractions of an inch. Then the ball comes our way, or we try to shoot off the dribble, and our brain/body has a countless number of variables to react to such as:
- how far away from the basket
- how we are holding the ball
- getting our body in balance
- where the defender is
- how much force we will use to get the ball to the basket.
Plus factor even more ‘unseen’ variables such as:
- How tired you are
- Game circumstances (pressure situations)
- Mental confidence
ALL of this happens within a second.
There is no single correct way of shooting a basketball. Even the best shooters in the world have various form techniques to make their shot, their own. However, great shooters have foundational principles in common. And that is the key: we will put the foundational principles in place, then find the technique adjustments that will work for your body.
Coach Dave will analyze your shot, both in person, and thru video breakdown. He takes in consideration many details such as age level, strength, coordination, your goals, and time before your next season. His system will put you in position to see improvements faster than standard form shooting and high repetition.
