Lesson 3:  Free Throw Routine

I often ask players what routine they use at the free throw line and they say they don't have one. Players want to make things as familiar as possibe when shooting a free throw and having a routine is paramount to making this possible.

Lesson 4:  Drill #1 - Step Off The Line

By getting off the line players are becoming accostumed to resetting themselves and being comfortable at the free throw line.

Lesson 5:  Drill #2 - Body Adjustment

Making sure players can refocus themsleves and shoot the same shot every time they need to work on adjusting their bodies and resetting with each shot.

Lesson 6:  Drill #3 - Incremental Movements

Small movements start to train players muscles to adjust to different variables and to become a better shooter. Training the muscles to make small adjustments can pay big dividends when fatigue is a factor late in a game.

Lesson 7:  Drill #4 - Conditioning and Fatigue

Doing free throw shooting after a players heart rate is up and their muslces are fatigued mimicks what players will see in a game. The more conditioned they are to shoot the ball when tired the better they will make free throws in a game.
