Practice doesn’t make perfect- Practice makes permanent.

Basketball players improve their game through repeated practice- and this is especially true for a jump shot. Repeated practice allows athletes to train their muscles to perform a jump shot using the same motion every time- a technique known as muscle memory. This muscle memory allows players to take a jump shot without thinking- that repetition ensures we perform the same motion with every shot as best that we can.

But since practice truly makes permanent, any minor flaw in our shot will be repeated with every jumper. How do we correct that? Practice, of course- but with perfect practice.

These 5 picture pages will allow a complete visual analysis of your shot- and allow you to re-train your muscle memory patterns with improved technique practice of your shot mechanics. Educational studies show that when you not only tell someone verbally and show them how to do something, but provide pictures as visual aids, the retention of that new information is retained at a much higher rate!
