Basketball Truthers Forum

There's nothing worse then playing with sore legs or arms. Which really means I struggle to get my weekly lifting in. I'm super new to basketball (been playing for about a year). In my 30s. Just trying to become a YMCA basketball legend. Would love people's opinions on my schedule: Monday • Dribbling, Layups  and Paint work • Run games at the Y Tuesday • Basketball consistent shooting workout Wednesday • Game Day - play hard in the evenings. Try and rest up until then. Thursday • Dribbling and Basketball consistent shooting workout Friday • Dribbling, Layups, and Paint work • Run games at the Y Saturday • Lifting full body Sunday • Rest

Hey hope everything is going well coach. I had a question so my shot is really nice especially now since Ive only been aiming for swishes and nothing else during my workouts and the book has helped me be less tense when shooting and approach it differently so I really appreciate that. The only thing I'm concerned with is I want to be elite at being able to jump high to shoot over people. The only main issues I have is • Im not sure if this would require a two motion shot • I have sort of a "phobia" which sounds dumb of jumping that high because of a injury I had in the past where the defender jumped in my landing space tearing my ankle Thanks again!

So I am a pretty good shooter for the most part can shoot off dribble, open shots, things like that and Ive been complimented by coaches or other players that its one of my strengths. The issue I'm having though is I've spent hours and hours constantly modifying or tweaking my jumpshot i want to say 20-30 times Ive made small tweaks to my jumpshot in my basketball career (im 17) rather if its going back and forth between different things or adding new things. How do I get rid of that "phobia"; mind you the main reason I start changing it is when Im unsatisfied on my shooting that day where theres days I will try and make a corner three for example and hit the side of the backboard then I start thinking its my elbow, or its my guide hand or its my base. Then a few days later once I fix it its something else. Is there such thing as the perfect jumpshot? I see klay have almost the perfect jumpshot but obviously now he's almost lost his touch but its the same shot. Thanks
