This catch and shoot basketball shooting drill will not be demanding on the player physically, but it will really help get quality repetitions and work on shooting under pressure mentally. High-level shooters in basketball put up hundreds of shots/makes a day, and sometimes that can honestly get boring.
When this happens, the shooter tends to check out mentally, and the shooting technique can get sloppy. Basketball shooting drills like this one are great to help keep the shooter competing and locked in mentally. This will help to make sure that every shot is valued, and that means quality shooting repetitions.
