Session 2 - Form Shooting - April 4th 

Image result for basketball form shooting


Design of Session:

Form Shooting Babcock, R. (N/A).
`1. Form Shooting (without the ball) Take imaginary shots and watch your form via mirror or video. Start the drill slow, then speed up.
2. Form Shooting (with the ball) The same as before, but implement a basketball, watch the rotation of the ball and your follow through,
3.Flip Drill – Stand right next to the basket and shoot with one
hand. Do not use legs. Focus on your form, primarily the movement from the wrist and follow through. Keep eyes on the target and aim for swishes.
4. Finish with close range shots
This session will follow a Fixed Practice Design based on the following text: Schmiguel (2015). The movement skill will be frequently practiced in an environment that will not change. Which will help the consistency of learning, but also reduce pressure when learning the skill.

Statistics/Detailed & Information Collected:


  • ·         10 minutes of form shooting without the ball (including evaluating form via video camera)
  • ·         10 minutes of form shooting with the ball
  • ·         10 minutes Flip drill
  •       Made 12/30 from close range 

Reflection:

Babacock, R. (N/A). The information retrieved from Babacock, was crucial to the development of my skill. I felt that learning the technique seemed easy to learn, however I found the first through drills boring and that it dragged on, which lead to some cases of not putting a full effort into technique (Babacock expresses full extension and flick in the wrist). I did not have my skilled basketball friend who could critique and evaluate my form, so I used my own understanding to critique myself, which may be risky. I did have a sensation that the drill was working however, which pushed me to carry it on. Shemiguel. (2015). Design of a fixed practice, fitted this training session perfectly. I could practice the movement constantly without fail. However, it was boring for me.

Session 8 - Two Dribble Pull Up - April 22nd Design of Session:  Dribble and Jump Shot. ILoveBasketballTV. (2016). 1) Start just above the 3-point line, standing in the triple threat position.  Facing towards the rim from a diagonal position. 2) First dribble towards the rim, and with your second dribble, regather the ball with two hands, and in a squared shooting position (like the triple threat, but not as bent at the knees). 3) With the ball coming up on the second dribble, grip the ball and follow its motion upwards, with your jump shot in a controlled manor. You should be squared towards the rim, and the motion should feel natural. 4) All shots should be in the mid-range area, take 20 shots on 5 different mid-range locations.  The following session will follow a block practice design, McAllister, L. S. (2012).   Which is useful for skill acquisition. Which includes repetition and isolated segments. Repeating something over, and o...

Session 6 - Around the World - April 16th Design of Session:  Around the world drill. Hull, L. (2014).                                                                               1.Two players line up on other ends of the key, starting closest to the rim.  2) If you shoot and make the shot, advance to the next spot, wait for the other player to shoot before you make your next shot. (check appendix to see diagram of drill) This session will follow a distributed practice design influenced by Foxon, F. (2001). which                provides more frequent and longer rest intervals between practice periods (waiting for opposing          player to shoot). Distributed practice also facilitates longer term learni...

\ Session 1 - Triple Threat - April 1st  Design of Session: Gripping the ball, and footwork Gels J. (2017).              1.Catch a basketball with two hands indicating where you want the pass to go. 2) Catch the ball in the correct triple threat position with feet in a stable position (shoulder width apart) and knees bent at 45 degrees.3) Practice without the ball, then introduce the ball. 4. After learning this skill, practice shooting a foot from the rim, focusing on the movement and preparation of the shot.  This session will follow a modelling design (Harmon K, Marzano R J. 2015) I have asked a skilled basketball player friend to demonstrate how to perform the skill prior, so I can model his movements.
