When shooting off the dribble, the goal is to be as efficient as possible. Confident shooters rely on strong mechanical foundations. All the work their bodies do to make successful shots is second nature and embedded within their muscle memory.
Keep your eyes trained at the basket as you move your body into shot-ready position. Remember your ball-handling foundations. Be aggressive when you pound the ball into your shot pocket. If you’re dribbling with your nondominant hand, never reach for the ball with your shooting hand to bring the ball into your shot pocket—that’s inefficient. Instead, bring the ball across your body with your nondominant hand into your shot pocket. Let your mechanics take over from there!
Every shooter experiences bouts of disappointment in their career. The key is to not let a streak of misses damage your confidence as a player and to remember that you’re only as good as the amount of training you put in to fine-tune your mechanics.
