💥 Listen to my breathing! 💥

🧘‍♂️ Free throw shooting is usually about relaxing more than anything. 

💪 In a game we typically go from “full go,” then straight to the free throw line to shoot. 

🫁 The players with better control over their breath can calm down faster and relax. 

🧠 Challenging and replicating this process is the goal of this workout. 

WORKOUT: 

1. 2 min straight of conditioning shooting (you pick the drill, I prefer using @switchedontraining to make it reactive)

2. 3 Free Throws 

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 (do this 3 times)

🤐 Taping up the mouth is something I’ve been doing for a few years to get more from my cardio work. 

✅ I find it challenges my ability to relax further and helps me connect with my breath better. 

I use @sportsleeptape for mouth tape. Doesn’t fall off even if I’m sweating a bunch.
