3 Components of a good shooter
Step 1 – Good Repeatable Mechanics
It might seem obvious but the first thing you need to do is make sure that you have good mechanics! The reason why this is so important is because it will save you a ton of time at practice!
If you have bad mechanics you will need to practice 4 times as much to become a good shooter.
So unless you want to be in the gym all the time, sort out your mechanics now so you can become a more effective shooter!
Step 2 – Shot Selection
You need to make sure you take uncontested shots! That might seem obvious, but it’s not! Trust me! I know a lot of players that take every shot available and generally their percentages suck!
A good shooter knows when to turn down a shot, because he knows he is too contested and that there is a better shot available somewhere else.
If you want to shoot a good percentage take high percentage shots!
Step 3 – Confidence
If you want more confidence when you shoot the ball, follow these steps:
Step 1 – Work on your mechanics to make your shot consistent
Step 2 – Take High Percentage shots (i.e uncontested shots)
Step 3 – Practice…. You have to practice! And you have to practice lots!
If you follow those three steps you will have more confidence in your shooting ability, guaranteed!
I will then explain the difference between a long two versus a three point shot.
And finally I will give you the three strategies to help you increase your shooting percentage!
Strategy 1 – Creating Space
Strategy 2 – Creating Time
Strategy 3 – Creating Rhythm
I will show you examples of NBA players using these strategies and explain to you how you can incorporate them into your game.
