Free Throw Shooting Tips

2 C's and 3 R's
Adapted from Hal Wissell FT shooting video - http://www.coachwissel.com/

Confidence – Believe it’s going in. Think positive thoughts. Look and act like a shooter.
Concentration – eliminate all distractions and focus on target right above front of rim. This last thing you do before you shoot.
Routine – Helps confidence. Find nail hole & set shooting foot to right of hole or right behind it to get lined up Find the valve or seam below valve. Take desired # of dribbles.
Relaxation – Take deep breath
Rhythm – Down up action with the legs. One Motion, use Up force, catch Momentum wave. Shoot on way up with full extension.

Notes: Stay off the FT line until ref hands you ball. Say positive words to yourself with full confidence. Ex. I’m a shooter, nothing but net, count these, I’ve dreamt about making shots like these, this is me, I’m king, etc.

Correcting Basketball Shooting Errors

Check out this great video from Hal Wissel.  It's 8 minutes long so if you don't have time for all 8 minutes then look at the first 4 min. then the second 4 min later.  The only advice i'd offer these shooters is to "open" their stances a little to help align their body and the ball.  See video here: http://vimeo.com/8262062 and sign up HERE for the free basketball newsletter with lots of free videos.

I'm searching the web each week for the best videos on Shooting Development so stay tuned......AP
