For real, like…

I’ve coached many who truly believe they are a shooter but the reality is far from it. They don’t see the one in ten 3 pointer going in as lucky, they see it as affirming that they are a shooter. 🙄

Very true, just as there are many players undervaluing themselves and their abilities, others over estimate their current skill level and it can be just as harmful to their development.

Intereseting topic but... Worrying about the identity isn´t as important as setting realistic performance goals and having proof of your hard trainning.

Great comment, this video is designed for players who "shoot the lights out in training, but in games second guess themselves" and at that stage I've observed a clear identity difference between those who are shooters and those who are not (when both have the skill and proof of hard training to be shooters). The subconscious mind is a goal striving mechanism set to follow your deepest self identity regardless of if it's 'good' or 'bad' for you (Dr Maxwell Maltz). And so for these players who find themselves stuck with a non-shooter identity, this is a great way to help them escape that cycle and realign their mind to follow a more beneficial identity. Now where this ranks in importance entirely depends on the individual so I completely agree with you that for many players, identity won't be as important as setting realistic performance goals and having proof of hard training, which is an important distinction to make so I appreciate your comment.

Hello, coach, could you please clarify, if defender have touched my hand right after a shot, does it count as foul?

[@HoopsProcess]

Yes Roman, it's generally a foul. Some refs will call it differently depending on how much impact it has on the shot and the intent of the defender.
