It all starts with the feet, footwork

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Page) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:55:00 +0000

When critiqing players shooting form the first place I look is at the feet. Stance-Footwork-Balance. Successful shooting technique/form starts here. - AP

Ray Allen’s accuracy is a real feet

“Everyone always looks at the form, but I think the key to Ray Allen is his footwork is absolutely tremendous,” Rivers said. “Ray’s feet are just amazing — how well he can come off a pick (and) in little time get his feet set and still get the shot up.”

- Doc Rivers (Head Coach - Boston Celtics)

Shooting is Boring

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Page) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:51:00 +0000

I've echoed Miller's words below many times at our shooting camps & academies. It takes big investment to get big results!
“Shooting is boring. It takes time and you have to spend hours working on your craft. Players don’t want to put up the sacrifice to do it. That’s why I applaud Ray Allen, at 35 years old, getting ready to break my (NBA record for 3-point field goals) in the next month and a half. He’s the best shooter in this league and that’s sad, because there should be some young gunslinger coming up saying, I’m going to shatter Ray Allen’s record. There’s no one alive that’s going to break his record.”

-- Reggie Miller, during TNT’s broadcast of Monday’s Celtics [team stats]-Magic game

Trip home stirs Bryant’s nostalgia

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Page) — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 06:05:00 +0000

Read this article......http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-bryanthighschool121610
..........“Every single one, it seemed – the 8-year-old, the 9-year-olds – go left and they go right,” Bryant told Yahoo! Sports recently. “The older ones shoot the jump hook with the left, and they shoot the jump hook with the right. You’ve got bigger kids who can shoot from the outside, who can handle the ball and play. A lot of young players that look like [Pau] Gasol, who are just so skilled. “And now, you’ve got kids here in the States, 20 years old, who can’t do those things.........................

College Basketball Shooting Drills

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Page) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:10:00 +0000

Here's an old shooting drill from one of my basketball mentors John Wooden. It's basic but plays an important role in building your shooting foundation. Remember this saying, "Don't despise the day of small beginnings." - AP (your shooting coach)

Imaginary Shooting DrillJohn Wooden, the legendary former basketball coach at UCLA, recommends performing the imaginary shooting drill to build power and stamina in your legs and to work on your shooting technique. You don't use a ball for the drill, so you can focus exclusively on your body mechanics without having to worry about making each shot. Stand with your toes on a line in your shooting position. When a coach or partner blows a whistle, take a perfect jump shot as if you actually have a ball. Move back to the line as quickly as possible and reset. Repeat on the next whistle. You can perform this drill on your own if necessary.

Click the link below to read the entire article. I agree with some but not all the mechanics mentioned here. : http://www.livestrong.com/article/326771-college-basketball-shooting-drills/

Free Throw Shooting Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Page) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 04:57:00 +0000

2 C's and 3 R's
Adapted from Hal Wissell FT shooting video - http://www.coachwissel.com/

Confidence – Believe it’s going in. Think positive thoughts. Look and act like a shooter.
Concentration – eliminate all distractions and focus on target right above front of rim. This last thing you do before you shoot.
Routine – Helps confidence. Find nail hole & set shooting foot to right of hole or right behind it to get lined up Find the valve or seam below valve. Take desired # of dribbles.
Relaxation – Take deep breath
Rhythm – Down up action with the legs. One Motion, use Up force, catch Momentum wave. Shoot on way up with full extension.

Notes: Stay off the FT line until ref hands you ball. Say positive words to yourself with full confidence. Ex. I’m a shooter, nothing but net, count these, I’ve dreamt about making shots like these, this is me, I’m king, etc.

Correcting Basketball Shooting Errors

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Page) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:55:00 +0000

Check out this great video from Hal Wissel. It's 8 minutes long so if you don't have time for all 8 minutes then look at the first 4 min. then the second 4 min later. The only advice i'd offer these shooters is to "open" their stances a little to help align their body and the ball. See video here: http://vimeo.com/8262062 and sign up HERE for the free basketball newsletter with lots of free videos.

I'm searching the web each week for the best videos on Shooting Development so stay tuned......AP

This is me shooting at age 3. Look at that form! :)

blessing that some
truly great shooting

down their gift of
shooting wisdom to me.
My goal is to share that
gift with as many aspiring
basketball players as possible.

All the best,
