HOW TO GET OUT OF A SHOOTING SLUMP
Great shooters share these three things: Solid mechanics, investment in perfecting their shot, a history of shooting success and solid shooting percentage.
A great college player in the state of Washington called to talk to us because he was in a shooting slump. He asked our advice on how to get out. This is what we told him.
1. You have a proven record of being a great shooter. You have the mechanics dialed. Your mechanics haven’t changed your mind-set has. Work every day and get your mind-set in a good place. Move the thoughts about missing , percentage and slump out of your mind and think, “I am on fire, I love to shoot, I need the ball because it is going in.”
2. Do the small things well. Get your eyes to the sweet spot, hand in the cookie jar, don’t fade away, eyes locked on the target.
3. Get to the free throw line. Draw a foul and get to the line. Focus on your rhythm, relax, exhale as you shoot.
4. Take your shot when you are open but don’t force your shot. Don’t shoot the high risk shot right now, instead drive, create and get into the game and stop thinking about your shot.
5. Shooting slumps happen to every great player. Move on, don’t waste mental energy trying to analyze and over critique. Get mentally tough and decide to believe you are a great shooter from now on.
