How to work on hand prep and off the dribble hand prep so that the hand is under the ball when we collect the ball???

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Ball and foot at the same time. Check our movement series on our website!

[@Go4Yourz]

Great video. On the release of the ball do you look at the flight of the ball or do you stay focused on the rim?

[@HalfordHoops]

Rob is the man!!

Hi coach! Thank you for posting your videos. I'm in my mid-30s and a late starter in basketball who's struggled to shoot for about 4 years, and your videos have helped me so much more than any other advice I've found. My wife and I both enjoy basketball and I've started to walk her through the 1, 2, thru principles as well. I've also asked her to buy me your two shooting/movement courses once I finishing some work-related studying, so I'm really looking forward to that :) I was wondering if I could submit this question: Do you have any guidance regarding wrist snap? I've been practicing the 1, 2, thru motion but I've noticed some wrist pain after longer practices. I try to keep my wrist as relaxed and floppy as possible, but extended shooting sessions seem to cause symptoms of carpal tunnel because my wrist snaps so violently.

[@self-madejacobo8281]

Well I don’t know if this well help your specific problem , but usually when my elbow snaps/locks out it helps out my wrist on the release

[@kobebbgs]

Perfectly said

Hi coach! I had a couple additional questions if you don't mind. Spoiler, I am a bit obsessed about basketball 😬 Besides wanting to train to be the best I can and keep up with younger players at my local gym (once COVID is over), I'm also hoping to be able to someday coach my newborn son and his friends if they show interest in basketball 😊 So I recently bought the "Strength Training for Basketball" book by the NCSA - National Strength and Conditioning Association, and they mentioned various deceleration techniques such forward deceleration patterns (jump stops , breakdown stops, lunge stops, lateral angle stops), backward deceleration patterns (reverse lunge with either vertical heel or T-stop technique), and lateral deceleration patterns (shuffle stop). I'm having a hard time finding more info on how to decelerate properly and these various techniques mentioned above. Also, I'm curious about your thoughts on jumping and landing safely. Do you teach any of these in your movement series, or can you demonstrate some of the more relevant ones on the channel? On a related note, the book I bought is great for strength training but I was also interested in learning more about basketball conditioning. Do you have any recommended resources for that? I was thinking about "Complete Conditioning for Basketball" by the NSCA but it's dated 2007 and I was wondering if that's still the best resource to look into. Regarding separation, I feel like it's important to work on flexibility to stretch out and achieve the most distance from your defender. Do you emphasize any particular lower body stretches to achieve the full range of motion needed to separate from the defender? Relatedly, any upper body stretches that are particularly important to shooters? Do you teach big man post moves like the jump hook and other back-to-the-basket moves? Or is that aspect of the game becoming obsolete? After a hard game or workout, I know NBA players do a lot of work to maintain their bodies for recovery. Is there anything you recommend that the average person can do to optimize recovery after a workout? For example, I've heard alternating hot and cold water during your shower can help (but I can't find my source for that at the moment). When trying to work on getting my shot off quickly off the catch, I feel like I spend too much time focusing my eyes onto the rim before shooting. How do you manage keeping your on eyes on the ball while catching vs. eyes on the rim for shooting? Do you recommend catching the ball with peripheral vision? I also notice that a lot of off-the-catch shooting drills end with step, then jump stop. Is that sequence meant to allow extra time for your eyes to transition from catching the ball to eyes on the rim? When dribbling with the off-hand, can you demonstrate how to quickly gather the ball to shoot? If you need to prepare to shoot starting from the opposite side of your body, wouldn't your shooting hand need to stop the sideways motion of the gather, and thus prevent your shooting hand from being on the top of the ball to prepare to shoot? When practicing form shooting at various spots trying to make X in a row, unfortunately I have a bad habit of choking on the last shot. Do you have any tips about how to get mentally tougher to keep it together when shooting under pressure? Thanks again for your time!
