Ever run into that dreaded shooting slump for one of your players or for yourself as a player?  Most coaches will tell you to "shoot your way out of it", by continuing to shoot in a game until a shot falls or in practice, doing more shooting, maybe at closer distances.  But most of this is in  the shooter's head, so here is an easy solution.  Get a ladder that will able you to get up above the rim so that you can look down into it.  When you see the goal up that close, you will realize how big it really is and it will actually fit 2 full size basketballs in it at one time.  So when you go back to shooting, it will feel like you are shooting into a bigger target and might help you get out of that slump.  Keep your techniques correct and remember to use your legs more the further you move away from the hoop.  A good way to judge your range as a shooter is to take 100 uncontested shots from your desired distance.  If you can make 65 or more, 2 times in a row, then you can move back 3 feet, but if you make less then 50, maybe you should move in 3 feet.  When a player makes 65, then it is easy for a coach to say it is OK to shoot from a certain distance and gives the player a goal to reach in practice as well.
