❌Muscle Memory❌ A shooting myth: the best shooters shoot the same way each time. They don’t. In fact, they show great variability compared to more novice shooters. The BEST shooters repeat the results!! But that doesn’t mean they SHOOT they same way each time. In our free throw practice, I will give our players frequent challenge (1 leg, 1 eye, wide stance, narrow stance, sitting deep in a chair, etc.) because I want them to find many solutions to making free throws. These changes are obvious in practice. But in games, these adjustments players make are small adjustments our eyes can’t pick up on. Additionally, the players are doing them naturally. These are not conscious adjustments. Focus is external. But they are there. Embrace what’s happening under the surface to make better shooters! #basketball #differentiallearning #reels #freethrows #hoopinmitch
