Finally my last session involes a 5 minute warm up and stretch.
which then leads into my main drill which is called " The four minute Shooter"
This drills aim is To improve the player's overall shooting ability while creating a more game-like and competetive environment. The drill works on the layup, midrange basketball shot and the three pointer.
The drill lasts four minutes with the clock stopped during free throws. The player begins with the ball at the three point line when time begins. The player must first make a layup then rebound the ball and move to a midrange shot. Once the midrange is made the player moves to the three pointer. After all 3 shots are converted the clock stops and the shooter must now step to the free throw line and make a one-and-one free throw set. If either is missed the player rebounds and begins the drill again with a layup. Only if both free throws are made does the player get a point for completing the cycle. Try to complete as many cycles as possible in 4 minutes.
practicing converting fatigued and pressure free throws.
The Four Minute Drill also is great for fitness. Coaches should focus on making sure the player gets their body into a good shooting position each shot and follows through.
During free throws, relax, get a good routine and be confident.
also helps improve fitness
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.
