Skill development programming
Does anyone have any specific go to template they like to follow when doing skill development with a player or team? For instance, I always try to incorporate ball handling, footwork, skill focus of the day, along with shooting (off catch, off dribble, or shooting volume from game spots based on position). Just curious how other coaches within the community approach their training.

@Sean Charlisme do you mind sharing how you approach your training
Point guard skills
I don’t know if it’s just me but how do I get rid of tunnel vision and how to I find open teammates even when I have my eyes up I can’t process it quick enough.

@Shrinath Murali i think this comes down to understanding what the defense is trying to force you to do and having a strong grasp of what options/passing lanes should be available to you. For instance if a defender forces me baseline I’m immediately looking for a teammate in the corner, lifting to the wing or possibly being able to make a wrap pass to a teammate who may flash the middle. You can get there by watching film study of guards such as Steve Nash, John Stockton, or Chris Paul. All 3 are great floor generals and pass first guards. Also get on the court and practice different passing scenarios where you tend to have blind spots. Consistent practice should help speed up how you process information in the game. Last point, I would try applying these concepts in pickup games where taking risks aren’t high stakes.
Jump shot off dribble
Any recommendations for improving midrange jump shots off the dribble?

I tend to focus on 1 dribble and 2 dribble pull ups. Once a player is comfortable with that, working on different pickups off of simple combo moves, oh and understanding footwork and attack angles based on where I’m at on the floor.
Keeping dribble alive
Does anyone have drills that helps players to keep their dribble alive while on the perimeter? I notice a lot of kids instantly picks up the basketball as soon as an opponent gets near them or press up. Therefore leaving the player dead in the water because they have cut of one option due to lack of teammates movement and the player losing the ability to dribble.

Free throws
Any thoughts on helping someone with weaker arms to get their free throw?

Honestly, nothing beats repetition. Have you filmed the client shooting? Sometimes it could simply be technique. I would look to see if the client is getting power from their lower body by driving through the balls of their feet. You don’t need to leave the ground like a jump shot, but you want to have a one motion shot with good leg drive.
