Level: Junior High, High School, College, Pro
Shot Location: The Branson School, Marin County, California
Instructor: Tom Poser
Notes: Shooting the ball well while you are tired and worn out is one of the hardest parts of the game. Players break down in the fourth quarter and shooting percentages drop dramatically. If you watch NBA games you will see which players have worked hard in the off-season and which simply shot some shots and called it quits. This drill is designed to break you down, wear you out, and force you to shoot shots on the move with tired legs.
By increasing the number of times you have to run sideline to sideline, we are creating a physically and mentally difficult drill that allows the player enough time to think about how difficult the drill is. This also allows a coach to find out which players are willing to push through the pain and knock down pressure shots.
To increase the difficulty of the drill you can require that the player make a move to the basket every time they touch the ball, or force them to repeat the last number of sprints they did if they don’t hit both shots. You can also make the drill work its way up to five sideline runs instead of three.
