Get in the habit of always adopting the correct shooting technique - especially during training, to make the movement automatic in the match. If you do not use the correct technique, you will have bad habits that are often difficult to correct. If you don't follow a shooting technique yet, start doing it now!

Hold your position after the shot, and you will often find that you improve your percentages a lot.

Try to reach the following percentages: 90% or + on third halves and shots at the backboard from below, 70% or + on free throws, 45% or + on 2 shots, 30% or + on 3 shots. young player, you can settle for lower percentages.
Step 10. Forget about mistakes:
do not react badly. Don't lose your cool and keep following the right technique to become a great shooter.
Advice
- Playing good defensive deeds will improve your confidence and help bring the game's inertia to the side of your team, while also improving your offensive performance.

- Train to improve your endurance - and lose body fat - to be able to jump, stop and restart, pull and move with energy and speed.
- Just because you missed many shots in a row doesn't mean you can't make it. Always keep calm and follow the right technique when shooting, so as not to develop bad habits and improve your shooting command from every point of the field.
- Insist. When practicing, never leave the court without taking a certain number of bottom shots, free throws, etc. Roll every day.
- Practice dribbling, dedicating 1 or 2 days a week to this fundamental. Make sure you know how to use each hand as an extension of your body.
-
Scoring a basket is a good feeling, but serving an assist for a teammate is just as good; when you realize that the right choice is not to shoot and you see a teammate unmarked, pass him the ball.
When the ball is passed to you, throw if you are free, otherwise the ball continues to circulate
- Be patient, and trust yourself and your mates.
- When you practice dribbling or shooting in the third half, hold or dribble a tennis ball in the hand you don't control the ball with. This will improve your hand-eye coordination and force yourself to use the correct hand during a third-time shot.
