To shoot a basketball….Find a spot on the boundary and concentrate on that spot and have faith in your procedure. Focus is one of the biggies!!
Procedure
“There is a lot comfort in following a procedure” The finest free throw shooters in the world have a procedure they follow that lessens stress and creates a comfort zone that goes well with their needs. See how Ray Allen or Steve Nash play; they follow a procedure, as well. Do you follow a procedure that has been rehearsed every time you have shot a Free Throw?If yes, it’s good and If not, why not? If the “cream of the crop” follow it then I suppose you should at least consider on taking it seriously.
Situation: If the game is all over and there is no time left on the clock and your team is 1 down and you are left with 2 shots, in that case, you call for a procedure to follow that you are so comfortable with that you love the situation and long for the ball.
Instruction: Lining up..where is the nail hole on the ground. What about the air hole on the basketball with the target finger on it? Correct placement of your right foot which is extremely close to the nail hole with the left foot swaying. How about some deep breathing. Opt for the right arm, not to be absolutely straight, however a small degree or two turned out. Be original and go for your own “procedure”.
Have faith
Think you have more than 600 muscles as well as bones in your body and have faith in yourselves.
Situation: Think that you are a baseball player and are facing a pitcher that throws at 90 mph. Think about what are you going to do as you see the pitch approaching? You can’t think about all of your muscles as well as bones ,no doubt.
You are able to just concentrate on 1 thing in such situations and the solution is the ball and also have faith in your body to achieve your shot. Complete faith is needed in all situations like this. No doubts or anxiety.
So, to deal with any situation in basketball game ,you should have a procedure to follow ,you should have the focus and have faith in your stroke.
