Basketball Instruction - shooting


Expert: Bret Temple - 1/31/2009

Question
hi i'm john i love basketball and get up each morning at sunlight to practice but i have two problems. i miss my shots in games and mess up dribbling with my left what should i do???

Answer
HI John,

I'm not sure what happens to you in a game situation as apposed to just practicing, but I would be willing to bet it's all mental. It's just like hitting golf balls at the driving range. You can hit the ball well, but once you get out on the golf course it's a totally different ball game. Once again....All mental. I would say what separates us from the exceptional athletes that can play well consistently is their mental game. Try relaxing more during the game... Don't aim the ball when you shoot, and just do what you practice. Keep it up and don't get down on yourself.
