HoopHandbook #34- Moves for Shooters #4 (Hoop Handbook Basketball Training Programs) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Once you show that you can make outside shots, defense will close in, crowding your space and daring you to put the ball on floor. It’s time you take them up on their offer and kill them anyway. Sound good to you? Then this is your program. Moves for Shooters will take you through drills and skills for developing your ability to create open jumpshots for yourself with both your footwork, body positioning and ball handling. You will no longer be just a spot-up shooter relegated to stand in one spot on offense; you are now a dynamic scorer who is hard to guard and has to be strategized against. While going through this program, it is very important to remember that the moves and drills you go through in practicing are not, necessarily, the moves you’ll do in the games. Understand what a drill is: a skill executed repeatedly, to be ingrained into your muscle memory. The purpose of doing basketball drills is so your body memorizes the movement, which then can be called upon instinctively and unconsciously when needed. You are not consciously memorizing these moves for doing versus a defender. In a live game, things happen too fast for any human being to think of how to react -- by the time the thought comes to you, the moment to do what you thought of has passed. And with the endless possibilities and situations in the game of basketball, memorizing moves is not a viable strategy; every single play is a unique situation. What you want to be able to do in games is to react without thinking: whatever happens, you react instinctively and decisively. This ability is developed through two combined methods: skill practice and game experience. You have taken a proactive step in the skill practice area by getting this program; go to work. Then go use these skills in games to fine-tune your reactive, instinctive abilities.
