Take the Shot
1. Focus your eyes on the basket. Without strong focus on your target, your shot will rarely go
in.
2. Push up with your toes, straightening your knees and elevating off the ground.
3. As you elevate, push up on the ball while staying square to the basket.
4. When you reach the height of your jump straighten your elbow and flick your wrist, thus
releasing the ball.
5. As the ball leaves your hand, it should roll off your fingertips.
6. After the ball has left your hand, follow through with your dominant hand.
