Synopsis

Do you have the “passion” to become a great shooter? Do you seek the consistency of being able to shoot the ball into the basket time after time? I am here to tell you that anyone who possesses a decent amount of athletic ability can master these skills and the mindset to do so. With attention to the basic details, correct mechanics, a positive mental outlook and the application of hard work, you too will be able to learn to shoot a basketball extremely well! The mind set should be to set the goal of wanting to shoot the basketball correctly with the simplest motion and the fewest extra parts! To this end, this book is written with both players and coaches in mind. As stated on the cover of the book, Quest for the Net lists ten separate physical and mental elements that, once learned, mastered and combined together, will help transform a player into a consistently excellent shooter of the basketball. Considering most learners are visual, over twenty numbered, color photos give the reader visual summary reinforcement of each of the six elements discussed in the writings.The physical approach section breaks down and separately explains each of the six individual physical elements necessary for successfully basketball shooting. Paying attention to “all” of the physical ingredients will give any player the best opportunity to make shots, so none should be left out.What are the roles of the shooting and non-shooting hands? Each hand has a separate function or role to play. How should the player properly position their feet, shoulders and shooting arm elbow so that he can shoot the ball “straight” toward the rim? How can the player generate power so as to increase range in shooting? Power and range in shooting must derive primarily from proper usage of the legs, but other parts of the body are involved as well. How is a player able to create just the right release angle and arc trajectory in order to give the ball the greatest opportunity of entering the basket? Target consciousness, aiming at a small, specific target, is it tremendously important. The cerebral approach mastery section of the book contains a discussion of four separate mental approach elements involved in successfully shooting the basketball. The simulation of game conditions will help the player to “bridge” the performance gap between practice and competitive game-situation conditions. A personalized pre-shot routine process helps to reduce stress, block outside distractions and allows freedom to focus entirely on the task of shooting the basketball. Prior rehearsal of a free throw allows the player a “last-minute” practice of the shot from start to finish. Visualization is a positive, mental imagery approach that aids an athlete toward the successful completion of body motions and allows a player to reach their maximum potential. A section on “biddy basketball” discusses why, at an early age, it is exceedingly important to learn the basic fundamentals on a scaled down court with lower baskets and an appropriately sized and weighted ball. Common shooting technique flaws are discussed that lead to shooting inaccuracy and a lack of consistency. Drills are detailed that one can begin to work on right away in order to help refine shooting technique and reinforce the discussed elements. Once these ten, individual elements have been covered, the player is then shown how to blend all of them together into a harmonious whole similar to that of a completed jigsaw puzzle. I guarantee that you simply cannot go wrong by purchasing, reading and benefiting from the contents of this book. See you on the court!
