Being Successful At Basketball

“Swish”, the ball goes through the net! I often wonder how some of the best basketball players get to be so accurate with their shot. Basketball shooting form has changed many times over the years, and all of the great shooters today spend hours on end perfecting the process that they go through every time they take a shot. The process of shooting a basketball is very important.

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a former professional basketball player. He was one of the best basketball players to ever play the game. He was born February 17, 1663 in Brooklyn, New York City. He was married to Juanita Yanoy. Then he married Yvette Prieto after him and Juanita got divorced. He has 5 kids and his mother name is Deloris Peoples and his father name is James R. Jordan Sr.

The layup shot is the most commonly used shot in basketball, you don’t need to be tall to perform this shot. The aim of the shot is that you need to dribble and drive to the basket and aim to hit the backboard to score a point. Driving from the side of the court should give you enough space to dribble to the basket and perform the jump. Put all your weight on the front of your leg, if you are right handed then you will jump off your left leg and if you are left handed then you will jump off your right leg. Bending your knees will help provide the spring needed. Jump off of your forward leg, and thrust your arms upwards towards the basket to prepare for the

Okay now that you know the steps it is time to review them. From beginning to end first comes the eyes on target, stance and balance, and the shot pocket. Then the next steps are; grip, the balance of hand, and the delivery. After you release the ball comes the upforce and landing, and lastly the follow through. Before you try it you need to forget about your original shot that you started out with. Now that you know these it's time to go out and try them for yourself. There is no exact way to shoot a basketball but there is a fundamentally correct way it's time to master it.

Every professional basketball player knows how to shoot a ball, and in some part of their life, they learned how to shoot a basketball. It isn’t that complicated to be honest, there’s just some aspects of shooting a ball that need to be perfected. There are very few steps in the process of learning how to shoot a ball correctly. The one that is most used is called B.E.E.F. B.E.E.F is a four-step process, and quickly could be learned, but takes awhile to perfect. The first part of this procedure is known as “Balance.” Most people think a good flick of the wrist is a good shot, but balance is a key part of shooting. In order to have the correct balance your feet must be shoulder width apart, bend your knees, and your dominant foot should be in front of your non-dominant foot. The next step is “Eyes.” Your eyes should be focused on the center of the rim because first of all, you don’t know how much strength to put in your shot if you are not looking at your target. Second of all, aim for the center because the side, front, or back of the rim will probably lead you to miss your shot. After that, the next step is elbow. Your elbow must be cocked back 90 degrees. Also, your non-dominant hand should be on the side of the ball to guide your shot. This is because your shot will go in other directions that you are not intending to aim for. Finally, the last step is to follow-through. To follow-through, straighten your elbow

Shooting free throws should be the easiest thing about basketball, but some people just cannot get the hang of it. It seems to be easy because of the word ‘free’, and there is no defence. You are unguarded, straight in front of the basket, and only 15 feet away. Free throws haunt players at every level of basketball. A free throw is only worth one point when made, but one point can win or lose you the game. I will be telling you the perfect form and technique to shooting and making a free throw.

     These directions are for a right-handed player. A left-handed player would use the same technique, but for each

Shooting the basketball is the easiest thing to improve. The best way to enhance shooting is to keep practicing. Better shooting greatly increases the teams score and gives the opponents a hard time of catching up. Once a player feels their shot is good enough, they can attempt 3-point shots. There is a line pretty far away from the goal

I have participated in my local CYO basketball league ever since the second grade. Sophomore year I was playing the high school league with some friends. We were a very talented team and we made it farther in the playoffs then I have ever been before. We made it to the Philadelphia city finals and are team was on a hot streak because we were coming off of some really good wins. However we got to comfortable and we ended up losing the game by a fair margin. This failure taught me a lot about how you can’t get to comfortable with your performance and you can’t go into anything expecting a certain outcome. The lesson I learned can be used in many other aspects of my life whether it be academic, athletics, or any other type of situation. When you

The items needed for this event are pretty simple. A throwing ring with an open field is necessary. This is very critical because you do not want to throw near cars, roads, or even people due to the damage that can happen in seconds. If it is a women throwing, 1kg discus is recommend. That is the size that all women get but if wanting to advance themselves a 1.5kg is good for practice but not for competition. 1.5kg and 2kg for men. Discuses are available anywhere. Order it online and when it arrives they are all set. These discus can range anywhere from $6 - $100, just depending on the type that has been ordered.

The most important part of the game of basketball is shooting the basketball, after all the object of the game is to put the basketball through the basket. A

Connecting to audience: I’m sure most of you have shot a basketball in your lifetime, but I’m sure few of you are aware of the basic mechanics to shooting a basketball. Today, I’ll show the basics of shooting.

contract. So what the kids are being told is, that it is money in the sports they are playing, and that is what they are seeing everyday on the television. The kids want to be them celebrities in sports that make all them millions of dollars right out of high school or after one or two years in college. High school kids that is in poverty, develop their own version of the “American Dream”, where they make it big as a professional, and never have to worry about money again.

It was an early november morning, I was waking up early to get ready for basketball practice. I got out of bed and had a strange feeling, telling myself that I didn’t want to show up to practice today. But I already missed some many days, so I went anyways. I left the house around 6 and got to practice at 6:30 and started practice right away, I was kind of worried that we didn’t do our stretches and warm ups like we usually do but, I didn’t say anything and kept going on with practice as usual. While we were doing 3 on 3 i was running after the ball and I planted with my left foot and felt a weird shifting in my knee. It felt like my femur felt like it shifted side to side and my knee cap felt like it detached. So I sat out for the rest of the practice and continued with school.

It was a brisk Saturday morning in late March; I shuffled down the stairs to the kitchen where my dad was waiting for me. “Ready to go?” he asked in a less than enthusiastic voice. My dad was never a morning person, and forcing him to wake up to attend my games really put that into perspective. But on this particular Saturday I couldn’t care less; this was an important day, my final basketball game of the season and my final season of my basketball career, a series finale if you would. “Sure am” I responded quickly, as I walked out of the house in my uniform and flip flops so as not to damage my basketball shoes on the walk to and from the court. As ridiculous as this degree of shoe protection sounds, it was common practice between me and my teammates.
