@@Fulfill_Your_Potential stay tuned… we are working on it!

@@josephcross1882 He absolutely is and motor learning lives on a spectrum. This was his first session exploring the concept of reception location & reception time. It is very important to allow “room for error” & not over cue what isn’t optimal for ANY player learning a movement concept. This is self organization within a specific range. It’s absolutely ok at this juncture.

@ thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot of sense!

@ Anytime. We researched & applied these concepts testing them over thousands of hours of coaching. We guarantee results

@@robwilson2324 Ben would benefit from our method application in a short time

@@fstevy “Ball roll” is product of shooting wrist relaxation in the form of “pre flexion”. This can be done off the catch or off the handle. The ball will roll downward then roll backward as upward ball lift occurs

@BBiomechanics thank you. This is the opposite of loaded wrist that a lot of coaches ask for.

@ The EXACT opposite, absolutely spot on.

@@ifheavenwashuman Driving attentional focus of a shooter to internal aspects of their body can drastically reduce shot making adaptability under live conditions. We recently consulted for an NBA player to which he immediately asked “What’s wrong with my shot”? As many in past have alluded to internal cues about “what’s wrong”, I replied “absolutely nothing”. Explore these specific variables about the ball, type of make/miss, & STOP directing the majority of your attention to your body. We also explored visual stress, rhythm disruption & some other variables directing attention away from the body the majority of the time. He proceeded to fluidly knock down 3’s in game, when it matters most. Where previously he was having trouble hitting shots in game (despite hitting at high %’s during “practice drills”). Theres a reason why we never use the terminology “practice drill”. We “explore progressions”. This also acts as a powerful mechanism for learning & application.

@@noahwatchs Great question! We will post about how to explore & groove this soon. We have some shorts regarding ball reception location.

@@Fulfill_Your_Potential Yes. Dependent on player assessment & when specific patterns or variables are introduced. Then it must be explored immediately under variable conditions & tested in live play conditions

By ‘immediately’ do you mean immediately after introduction? I struggle sometimes with whether to add variability/instability to an activity before the player has stabilized the target behavior on its own. Like, if they’re succeeding 33% of the time with no variation, I worry sometimes that adding variation is premature. I still tend to do it, but I worry sometimes that I’m overloading too fast.

@ immediately within the same coaching session..that week & for successive weeks. If a player misses more at other ball flights it’s to be seen as “reduced” capacity to adapt. Which differing shots require differing ball flight execution. So we essentially are better preparing them for adapting in live conditions. Focus less on the misses & more on the actually fact that a player can even hit the rim while varying ball flight, then good misses, THEN makes.

Here's what I did: ALWAYS finish with a straight arm (makes your shot consistent), aim to have a high arc by making the arm only leave centered or toward the right depending on where your torso is but NEVER too far left nor right (your torso direction is crucial for determining where your arm is placed), & finally you'll basically always make your shot if you do all the above and set your ball straight next to your right hip or left if your a lefty. I can give more tips but these are the parts most people struggle with, including myself until I consciously realized this.

Just adding onto this; I saw the Shorts you did for this idea too and the examples from Tobias/Caitlin Clark; I'm not sure if I was able to see space between the non-fingerpad parts of their guide hand, and the ball => was this just camera angle, my eyes not working, or is the main takeaway from this video about the tension between guide hand fingerpads and ball, rather than the space between guide hand + ball?

@@jamesbu1187 These are great questions! In order for players to “feel” how surface area of the guide hand can impact friction & help exit speed control of ball relative to the amount of grip/pressure & its timing of release, it’s important to “explore the spectrum”. This means, think: very little surface area & explore how much “grip tension” in the fingerpads. Take shots from 3 ft out all the way to the 3 point line. Observe how it impacts the ball flight. Do this with “palm contact of guide hand” however still use fingerpad grip tension. Now, find the middle ground of the two, & explore that. “More” surface area of guide hand doesn’t necessarily mean “more control” as the “amount” of pressure or grip “with less surface area” can easily maximize how much control the hand interaction has, at release.

@@BBiomechanics Thanks so much for such a quick response man So it's about exploring the spectrum and finding what works for you? Damn man...I live to learn from minds like you FR lol. Thanks so much for these insights FR. Will be closely locked in on this channel + your Twitter moving forward

@@jamesbu1187Exploring surface area will sensitize your system to how critical the pressure/grip tension/timing release is, of the guide hand. This is not to say you will use fingerpads “only” on going. Spectrum exploration is the key. We can have “more surface area” on ball and not “see much space” yet still have finger grip tension.

@ Exactly! The more we explore mini spectrums of what’s extremely important (specifically in this case “hand interaction at release”), the more we can refine our dexterity of shooting a basketball. Hand position (we will do a video on this soon), also impacts what “may feel more comfortable mechanically”). That being said, the more we strategically vary, the more our body understands energy transfer, distance control, & left to right precision. We groove and explore then we test it under live conditions at high speeds. (Bonus: do the guide hand surface area & timing from differing distances but also at HIGH speeds to further “feel” and sensitize your system!)
