			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Good shooting covers over a multitude of mistakes.&#8221; This truth in basketball can be one of the biggest daggers to the opposing team in all of basketball. Everyone has experienced it. You are playing great defense forcing turnovers, getting good shots, dominating the boards, but you are still losing because you just cannot hit your shots and the other team just cannot seem to miss. To be that person who other teams hate because &#8220;he never misses&#8221;, you need positive repetition on all parts of your shot.</p>
<p>The first part of your shot you must drill is the stroke. This is the end part of your shot. You start with a 90 degree angle in your armpit and 90 degree angle at your elbow pit as if you are a waitress. Then you just go straight up with the release of the ball , then follow through.</p>
<p>The next part is the motion. In this you hold your arm out parallel to the ground as if asking for money. You then bring it to your shot pocket with your elbow pointing to the ground and your forearm parallel to the ground and then go up to the waitress position and then stroke the ball. Both these can be done anytime, anywhere. While watching TV, or for the first minute before you play. This motion is your shot and you will want to perfectly smooth. This motion though is just the guidance of the ball and nothing with it should change no mater where you are on the court.</p>
<p>The next part you must drill are your legs. To do this sit with your but on the edge of a chair, and stand up, using your motion form shot that you got from those other drills, and shoot it. This will teach you to use your legs for power and your arms just to guide it.</p>
<p>The nest step is footwork. Every basketball player must be able to shoot the ball going left, right foot, right, left foot, or a hop off both feet at the same time. To practice this, simply spin the ball out to you and do it.</p>
<p>The last drill you must do is simply positive repetition. Get out their and shoot a lot of good shots. Work on of the dribble and off the pass. Work on situation shots. Know your teams offense and work on those shots. The best individual drills I find are ones made be the individual. If you want to improve on this of your shooting, then work on that. Other ideas are to use cones as defenders, or to use them as if coming off picks. Having a partner to help you and encourage you is also very helpful with encouraging you and pushing you to new limits. You can run a variety of drills with them getting off more shots than you would have by yourself. In all these things remember to always have a lot of positive repetition.</p>
