Peer Pressure Partner Basketball Shooting Drill

Peer Pressure Partner Basketball Shooting Drill

 

One of the most difficult things to do is simulate game pressure when practicing shooting. Shooting around in the gym is a different feel from being in front of a sold-out arena and making a shot with the game on the line. Basketball drills like this are designed to help simulate some pressure that you will feel in a game.

Having to make 2,3, or 4 shots in a row with a teammate will put some pressure on the shooters and help them to prepare a little bit for game pressure. Knowing that you have to make a shot or you are going to let your partner down helps to simulate a little bit of pressure and will help the player become more mentally strong. And then, when shooting in a game, if you know that you have already hit multiple big shots in a row during different basketball shooting drills, you are more likely to step up and make the shot when it matters.
