Shot consistency is a big issue for my girls as well. What I see is a lack of foundation with the legs where the setup seems to be too quick and too shallow which looks like either a quick "bounce" of the motion or a stomping-the-ground type of action rather than chambering and actually pushing off the ground. This tends to result in an arm heavy shot (usually with no dip and lift, but more a push from the chest, as well as a lot of off hand thumb flick or full on two hand chest pass action... All of which add unnecessary variability into the mechanics) throughout the course of a game this rushed timing and arm heavy power gets more and more erratic as fatigue sets in. There's also a lot of catch the ball first then try to step into the shot setup (and then rush the finish since the setup was slow) it seems like most of this all has to do with timing which of course gets accelerated at game time with hungry defenders vs. practice time just putting up reps.

Passing Warmup
I want to share a passing series to work on game passes at different angles. This is a little more advanced as I'm working with a overseas pro player here. But the goal is to work on your angles in passing for different game situations. The main situations are: 1. Escape passes over a trap 2. Post entry passes 3. Pocket passes (pick n roll) I call this the "Steve Nash Passing Series" just because you're making different passes, one handed & at different angles. Often in games we have to make these quick passes, odd angles, one handed or off the dribble.

These are nice! Any advice for the young ones on how to be more covert/deceptive or at least smarter in deciding when and where to pass in order to reduce turnovers and become better passers?
On this day... Playing against NBA PG straight out of High School!
On this day... Playing against NBA pg straight out of High School @ Louisville Gardens On this day Jan. 10, 2004.... I played against Sebastian Telfair our senior year @ Pleasure Ridge Park infront of 20+ NBA scouts & Rick Pitino & D1 coaches in a sold out Louisville Gardens. This game & events surrounding became part of an amazing basketball documentary/movie called "Through the Fire." My true bball junkies have probably seen this movie many times but if you haven't I highly suggest you watch it, its a very powerful & amazing doc about Sebastian's journey as the last high school pg to ever be drafted in the lottery (top 13 picks) into the NBA. Here's a clip below from the doc. Here's the backstory: My senior season at PRP high school (Louisville KY) we were a top 5 ranked team in the state & our top player was my best friend & UofL signee, 6'10 nationally ranked center Terrance Farley. I remember our coaches Mabs, Kihnley, Bax coming to practice & announcing we'd added a huge game to our schedule that would sell out the famous Louisville Gardens arena against the top ranked PG in the country. It was the flashy & gifted NY pg Telfair who had just committed to UofL & Rick Pitino as well with Terrance. But here is the story that few know about leading up to the game. Our other starting guard was suspended at the time so I moved over to playing full time PG just before this big game was happening. On that night we played Western HS & Telfair's team had flew in early from NY to watch us from the stands. I had great game, lead us in scoring (not normal) & their scout was to put Telfair on me to guard in the following game. There was a lot of hype in the city surrounding this game, News outlets & the word that Rick Pitino & NBA scouts were all coming to watch Telfair. So here I was with an opportunity. I had no idea that a documentary movie was being filmed as well. I just remember me & Terrance got pulled out of school to go attend a press conference on the news! Suddenly we were on a stage together at this conference with Telfair & I started to realize this is a big deal because he had a camera crew following him around everywhere he went. This was 2004! Way before influencer culture & Gary Vee made this normal to film yourself. Even in the game when I spoke to Telfair I noticed he was mic'd up & I thought that was so wild at the time. Again no one did this, I don't even think the NBA was mic'ing players up at that time.

I got to watch Telfair play against Lebron in an exhibition at UCLA that season. One of the most impressive athletes I've ever witnessed. Thanks for sharing this great story!
