As basketball players begin to get fatigued, they wear down not only physically but also mentally. This basketball drill will work on the skills of ball handling and shooting, but it is also going to force the player to be mentally strong and think as they get tired. Another thing that players do when they get tired is revert back to bad habits. At the end of this basketball shooting drill, the player will have to make shots, and they must be staying locked in with proper basketball shooting mechanics.
