- Liuku: 1
- Why can I shoot over 90% on my free throws at practice, but only 50% in the game?!?!
- Liuku: 2
- Maybe you should try not standing at the free throw line shooting 100 shots in a row.
- Liuku: 3
- Who do you think you are, Steph Curry?
- Liuku: 4
- No, but I am Steph Curry's Certified Mental Performance Counselor
- Liuku: 5
- Oh...Then what do you suggest I do?
- Liuku: 6
- Well, for starters you can stop standing at the free throw line for 100 shots.
- Liuku: 7
- Next, I want you sprinting from the opposite baseline to the free throw line between each shot
- Liuku: 8
- That sounds exhausting!!!
- Liuku: 9
- You're right, but in the game your level of arousal is elevated due to your activity level.
- Liuku: 10
- Not to mention the added pressure of shooting in front of a live crowd!
- Liuku: 11
- Fair point, but how beneficial is practicing to exhaustion?
- Liuku: 12
- The goal isn't to practice to exhaustion, but it's to practice the skill at a similar arousal level.
- Liuku: 13
- Each time you get back to the free throw line, take a few seconds for several deep, calming breaths.
- Liuku: 14
- Imagine yourself making the free throw and shoot.
- Liuku: 15
- Once you release the ball, sprint back to the other baseline and start again.
- Liuku: 16
- I think I understand. I am practicing at the same arousal level as I will compete in, and by using mental imagery I can focus on making the shot every time.
- Liuku: 17
- This is exhausting! Why do I keep missing so many shots!
- Liuku: 18
- Likely for the same reason you were shooting so poorly in games!
- Liuku: 19
- You're training yourself to make free throws when you're tired and highly stimulated.
- Liuku: 20
- That's it! Keep practicing like this, and your free throw percentage is sure to go up!
