In this episode of the Podcast we talked all about feet and lower body. One of the hot topics was whether players should turn their feet. Check out this episode for my full explanation on what I pay attention to in this topic. It might surprise you. apple.co/3UOI2BQ

Why do I encourage players to shoot some free throws a foot in front of the line, and the next one a foot behind the line? Or one shot a little higher and the next slightly flat? Free throws are more variable than you think. See what I mean: bit.ly/3N0JBcr

Just a reminder as all of these NBA combine & pre-draft shooting drills make their rounds on social media. Every NBA player is a great shooter during their rehearsal… when the shots have very little variability, are self-paced, pre-determined & without any defense or decisions!

šŸ’” Is what you see really what’s happening? Coaches often misjudge a player’s shot based on the seams of the ball. In my latest blog, I break down the optical illusion of spin and how pure rotation can still look "wrong." šŸŽÆ bit.ly/3UoSP6m
