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 over again, makes it more likely to happen again. Which happens in the neuron section of our bodies.

Reflection:

The following session . ILoveBasketballTV. (2016) simulated a game situation, on how I would implement the jump shot. As it’s a skill to be used to shoot over a defender. The dribbling was new aspect to the program, I found the new aspect to spark the training, and allow it to more enjoyable. I was very happy with how I shot the ball today, I felt that the movement initiated a rhythm. McAllister, L. S. (2012) Block practice was most suiting for this session, as the high repetition of the drill helped me gather a rhythm, which would lead to skill acquisition. The block practice, influences the neurons to and reflexes to adjust and learn the movement.
