« Finding Basketball on Vacation!
| Question for Bill »

Basketball is in the Air!

While the weather is still warm, time to sharpen those shooting skills before the season starts.  In the driveway, you can find a distance that you are confident with, and try to make 65 out of 100 shots.  If you can do that more than 2x in a row, the move back another step or 2 and try the same thing.  Try to take the shot off of a dribble or by "passing it to yourself" simply by spinning the ball out in front of you so that it bounced back to you.  If you can go to a park with 2 baskets, a great way to practice shooting and get in some game type of running, is to find a distance you are again comfortable with, and that might even mean just taking lay-ups, and run back and forth between the 2 baskets for set period of time.  Start with 2 minutes and watch how fast you get tired and the shots stop going in as you do!  This is a great way of increasing stamina for the 4th quarter.  Michael Jordan use to like this drill and he turned out to be a pretty good player!
