Session 5 - Shooting Under Pressure - April 13th

Design of Session:

Distract the shooter. Alfonso, T. (N/A).
1. One person (P1) starts under the basket with the basketball. The other person (P2) starts at the top of the key.                  
                                            
2. P1 Starts by passing the basketball to P2. P2 catches the ball and shoots immediately while P1 runs at him trying to distract him by getting a hand up and yelling.

3. This step is a separate drill; One player stands directly beside the player about to shoot, not in a position where he/she are altering the shot technique. They then clap and distract the shoot as much as possible without physically interfering with the shot.

4. On all drills its optional to have the receiver of the ball/shooter close their eyes, and have them open it on command from the passer, so the shooter is unaware of their position.

This session will follow a variable practice design influenced from Stratton, G. (2004). Which focuses on practicing a skill in a varying situation (different pressures from defenders), and is best used for open skills. Varying practice conditions are better for skill learning.  

Reference Informing Design:


The information was sourced from the following online article: Alfonso, T. (N/A). Distract the shooter drill. Retrieved from http://hoopsu.com/distract-the-shooter-drill/
The variable practice design was influenced from the text: Stratton, G. (2004). Youth soccer: From science to performance. Psychology Press.


Statistics/Detailed & Information Collected:

  • ·         With two people participating and the pace of the drills being fast, no quantitative statistics were recorded.
  • ·     Shooting within the drills was very difficult, I missed a lot of shots.
  •       Later into the drill, I got used to the pressure and the shot percentage went up. 


Reflection:

Alfonso, T. (N/A) mentioned that concentration on the target was key to success in this drill. Knowing this wasn’t enough for me, as I still found the defender throwing me off target, even though I knew he wasn’t going to physically alter the shot. Overall I enjoyed this drill, regardless of missing a lot of shots. I feel I can do it, I just need a little more practice and adjusting to the situation. Stratton, G. (2004). Design of variable practice was effective by simulating an in-game situation. It made me use my mental rehearsal skills, and try gather as much mental skill, and coordination.

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. References Informing Design: This information was sourced from the following online article: Gels, J. (2017). Basketball Jump Sh...
