DAY 1 - Putting in the Time

It's August 25th.  Only 90 days to work on your game until the first day of the season.  Over the next 90 days, I will be posting different things to think about when trying to become a better player and maximizing your talent.

DAY 1 of 90 – Putting in the Time


When it comes to working on your jump shot, are you putting in the necessary time? Are you getting out and taking shots from all spots on the floor? Are you taking the time to become the best shooter you can become?
Or are you goofing around?
Are you taking your development seriously?
It’s all about the reps. Repetition, repetition, and more repetitions. That’s what makes better shooters. Not watching tv or playing video games all day long.
Work on your dribble pull-up and the catch and shoot.  Grab a friend and get out and shoot!
Strive to be a 180 Player.” 
The 180 Player is one who: Shoots 90% from the FT line, 53% from the field and 37% from behind the arc.
Add it up, that’s a special shooter.
This type of  shooter has confidence. That’s the key to shooting. Confidence comes from long hours spent in the driveway, on the playground and in the gym working hard. The great shooters pay the price for success. Which brings me to this.
