Coach Dan Speaks:

For basketball players looking to improve their shooting, a great drill to try is the one-footed balanced shot. Starting at the free-throw line, begin by pulling one of your legs up and half squat on another. From there, slide to the side and take a balanced shot. It’s important to remember good basketball form in order to complete the drill properly; maintaining balance and good posture while shooting can ultimately improve technique. Aim for five in a row from each foot with this basketball drill and you’ll be well on your way to mastering perfect one-footed shots.
