Throw the ball in front of yourself and practice catching to shoot.
The key thing is not bring the ball below waist height if you've already caught it at shoulder height (speed of shot).
Get the ball to your shoulder pocket as soon as possible.
Keep the ball even with the shoulders.
Do not wind up into the shot by catching the ball at shoulder height already in the pocket and then take the ball down to below waist level then lift it to the shooting position.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
