Shooting Slumps - Try This UNIQUE Trick

 Of course, when it comes to breaking shooting slumps, you should do the traditional things... 1 - Keep practicing Start with some rhythm shooting close to the basket to build confidence then work on game-like shots. It helps your mentality to see the ball go in the basket repeatedly. 2 - Watch game videos or even practice videos of yourself making shots You could even create a mini-highlight video and watch each day. Seeing yourself perform well is a great way to remind yourself of your shooting ability. 3 - Don’t hesitate If it’s a good shot that the coach wants you to take, shoot it immediately! It’s a percentage game. You’re going to have periods of time that you shoot worse than normal. Then you’re going to have times that you shoot better than normal. You just have to shoot through the bad times. 4 - Attack the basket If you can get an easy lay up or get to the foul line, that’s enough to get you going. Also, here’s a unique mental trick that consistently knocks shooters out of their slump...  TRY THIS UNIQUE TRICK THAT CLEARS YOUR MIND If you have a really bad slump that you just can't bust out of, try this technique… This unique process erases the "negative shooting memories" in your mind and replaces them with good ones. This can break you out of even the WORST shooting slumps! Step 1 - Shoot 5 shots about 8 feet from the basket. Step 2 - Now shoot with your left hand (or weak hand), 5 shots. Step 3 - Go to the free throw line. Again, shoot with your left hand (or weak hand), 5 shots. Step 4 - Step back behind the 3-point line. Shoot 5 shots with your weak hand. Step 5 - Go to half-court. Shoot 5 shots with your strong hand. Step 6 - Stand on one leg. Shoot 5 shots with your strong hand. Concentrate! Try to make the shots. Step 7 - Close one eye, while standing on one leg. Shoot 5 shots with your strong hand. You probably won't touch the rim, but that's ok, keep trying to make it. Step 8 - Now switch to your weak hand. Close one eye, while standing on one leg. Shoot 5 shots. Seriously try to make it. Do your absolute BEST to make the shot. Concentrate! Step 9 - Now, go into your shooting range and shoot some mid-range jump shots with your right hand. Don't worry if you make any shots. That's not important. Just shoot, don't think. The shot should feel really easy for you now. Stroke some nice easy shots for a while. If you have more range, step back a little bit and stroke a few more shots. Every time you shoot, say under your breath, "Nice shot. I can do better." Don't worry about making the shot. Tell yourself that it doesn't matter. You have probably already snapped yourself out of your slump. Those "negative memories" have now faded. Have fun with your shot and just shoot, don't think. If you start slipping back into your slump, try this routine again. Usually, one routine will fix the problem. If not, two or three times will most certainly do the trick. People watching might think you're crazy, but this silly mental compression trick can break you out of even the worst shooting slump.  To better shooting this season!
