Sports recently. “The older ones shoot the jump hook with the left, and they shoot the jump hook with the right. You’ve got bigger kids who can shoot from the outside, who can handle the ball and play.

College Basketball Shooting Drills

Here's an old shooting drill from one of my basketball mentors John Wooden. It's basic but plays an important role in building your shooting foundation.  Remember this saying, "Don't despise the day of small beginnings." - AP (your shooting coach)

Imaginary Shooting DrillJohn Wooden, the legendary former basketball coach at UCLA, recommends performing the imaginary shooting drill to build power and stamina in your legs and to work on your shooting technique. You don't use a ball for the drill, so you can focus exclusively on your body mechanics without having to worry about making each shot. Stand with your toes on a line in your shooting position. When a coach or partner blows a whistle, take a perfect jump shot as if you actually have a ball. Move back to the line as quickly as possible and reset. Repeat on the next whistle. You can perform this drill on your own if necessary.
