Practice makes perfect

As we finish up with the quarter 2 blogs, I would liked to say it has been a fun and a new adventure that I am glad to have experienced with my fellow classmate. When participating in any activity, it is always important to practice either daily or weekly. When playing basketball you will come face to face with players that have out of this world skills and if you ask them they will always give you the same answer. Practice makes perfect.


In the Zone Offenses book it says, " The results pf your practice planning are not always determined by your knowledge of X's and O's. At least equally important is your ability to work with people. You must be able to motivate them in a positive direction and design the mechanical aspects of your practice sessions to create a viable teaching - learning environment." (Krause and Harkins).

Under the leg

Simple under the leg dribbling can improve quick fast explosion towards the hoop being as smooth as possible.

Right or left hand dribble

When you are at the house and you have nothing to do or it is raining day, you can practice simple left or right hand by consistently dribbling creating familiar foundation.

Jump-shot Form

Practicing shooting everyday will ultimately improve you field goal percentage.

From start to finish I have learned many new techniques and basketball experienced that I can teach others or improve for my self. I learned what the guards are shown in the play books as well as new plays. As we finish up with the blog post I leave this with you.
