  • 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640 Steve: You know if you come on the court, know why you came on the court, and have a goal.

  • If you can become a great shooter it makes the whole game easier for you and your team.

  • Whenever you go on a basketball court don't mess around.

  • I hate it when guys come on the court and the first 10 minutes their like ... (lazy action).

  • You know? Flicking the ball up there.

  • undefined: I used to say "Ok, I'm going to make fifty or I'm going to make a hundred before practice starts."

  • It makes you harder to defend,.

  • And it's a lot more fun when you make a lot of shots right?

  • It's in all those extra hours because you are a fan.

  • Such an exponentially positive skill to have.

  • And I know you guys know this but it's a reminder as to why you need to be obsessed to be a great shooter.

  • So one thing about having a purpose out here is exaggerate everything to start.

  • So you get warm, and you're reinforcing positive moves.

  • Your footwork is paramount for everything you do, right.

  • The best players have incredible footwork.

  • Steve: Second is to get lower. Because being lower gives you more stability so you're on balance and you get more in legs in your shot

  • Which is key to having a high soft ball that sees a lot of the hole, and has a better chance of going in.

  • I want to see you guys get an inch or two lower and get a nice rhythm and a nice arc as we warm up here.

  • I feel like you get a little bit flatter.

  • Good shooter, good technique, but a couple of things to focus on; drop your chest a little bit...

  • So why you drop your chest is to try to get momentum to come back up

  • Which is not a strategy to get up and shoot.

  • You want to use your legs.

  • You want to keep your chest up becuase that's where you play.

  • What happens if a guy over reacts and you have to go to? Your chest wants to be up.

  • You don't want to get caught in this position where

  • you have to get back to this position and go.

  • So you always want to play the game here. Both ends of the floor. Chest is up.

  • And the lower you can get here the better.

  • This is getting real technical but improper movement...

  • You want this to be flat so let's tuck your butt under just a touch like this...

  • Right, yeah.

  • So this is flat.

  • This is where you go... relax, relax ok up here. Relax.

  • This stays strong. Drive into the ground with your butt and keep this flat.

  • You don't want to get this too arched. Ok.

  • So you want this to be relaxed so we can move. But this is flat and compact.

  • And when you can get comfortable in that position you're going to get stronger you get all this movement from up here. Right.

  • undefined: So you're relaxed up top.

  • I want you, just from there, I want you to drive into the floor to create rhythm and put the ball up in the air. Go.

  • So you see how high your ball is already? Higher, softer. Right? Sees more of the hole. Ok.

  • And, if you're sprinting to the corner and somebody hits you for the three.

  • If you're in that nice tight low position you're going to stop and go straight up in the air more times than not. Right?

  • It might be OK on a stand still catch and shoot but when the game heats up

  • you want to be in this position ok.

  • Let's try one more, so get to the bottom, flat low back, weight between both feet. Perfect.

  • I want you to be able to just pop straight up.

  • Really good. That's much better. Let's do a couple more.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640 Steve: You know if you come on the court, know why you came on the court, and have a goal.
