It’s thrilling for everybody engaged to teach a player proper form and then see them strike shot after shot in a tournament. Not to add, there are more catch-and-shoot opportunities in a game than people believe (you don’t need 10+ dribbles to make a shot). In this article, I’ll discuss talents that every player should master before progressing to “higher-level actions.” The abilities are as follows:
Shooting form:
Every session includes time for participants to make and shoot form shots in a number of different ways. During these workouts, I concentrate on their elbow, release, follow-through, and fundamental footwork. For athletes new to basketball, those striving to improve their shot, and even established players, one-handed form shooting is a constant in my routines. Because it isn’t about wins at the start, new players will frequently fire against a wall. Rather, the emphasis is on good form, with the belief that the makes will follow if the technique is mastered. I also conduct some simple catch-and-throw exercises to help with form. If a player does not employ good form when doing step-back 3s, it will not aid them.
Catch and shoot with proper footwork:
When shooting, it is critical for players to have precise footwork and maintain strong shooting techniques. When we’re practicing on this for the initial time, I begin players near to the basket and let them progress at their own pace. I focus on catch and shooting scenarios once the players have mastered their footwork. Players I coach learn how to shoot off screens, shift catch and shoot in a variety of different settings, including fundamental catch and shoot.

Triple threat/Use of ball fakes/passing:
Many players have forgotten how to use triple threat and ball fakes. Conversely, players strive to get the ball on the ground as soon as possible and defeat someone off the dribble. I teach players how to reap the benefits of the triple threat, which includes jab steps in various directions, ball handling, and ball fakes. This is included in sessions with a layup at the conclusion and, sometimes, pull-up shots as well. Experienced players are ultimately taught how to establish a hip swivel as well as other similar techniques to establish distance. I normally teach passing as a triple threat, and it goes without saying that being a good passer is crucial. My players spend time studying a range of passes from various angles.
Shooting with both hands:
Players must not only dribble with both of their hands, but they must also aim with both hands. As a basketball coach, I recognized which guys could dribble with their bad hand and would always score with their good hand. When they place the ball back in their good hand near to the defender, we’ll have a smoother job defending them to the hoop. As someone who coaches athletes, I place a premium on striking with both hands. Players who are unable to do so with both hands in the basket will struggle against difficult opposition.
