Becoming a high-level shooter is not just about physically being able to shoot the basketball; it also heavily ties into the mental side of things. Great shooters in basketball are mentally tough and can make multiple shots in a row with pressure on them. They can handle the pressure and still make big shots regardless of it.
This is an advanced basketball shooting drill demonstrated by 3-point sharpshooter Omri Casspi, and it is designed to really work on the mental side of shooting. It will force the player to make multiple shots in a row, knowing that there is a penalty for missing a shot. It is a great catch and shoot basketball shooting drill to do at the end of a workout to force the player to lock in mentally even when fatigued.
