Analysis of the Free-Throw Shot

Analysis of the Free-Throw Shot

     When deciding about a movement to study, I thought about many, and very few
interested me.  Then I decided to choose something that was very important to me.
Shooting the basketball, and more specifically the technique in performing a
free throw.  I thought by looking more closely at the details of a movement I
have been doing since a small child.  I thought possibly I could learn something
that would give me an advantage in my shot.
     The application of this particular movement is for shooting a free-throw,
which is a stand still uncontested shot.  There are a few rules that go with
shooting a free-throw, such as you have to be behind the fifteen foot line,
called the free-throw line, and you can't cross that until after the ball makes
contact with the rim.
     When performing this skill you should also be aware of the other factors
that could influence your accuracy in performing the free-throw.  The rim is
fifteen feet from the free-throw line on center.  Also you should be aware of
the fact you can fit three basketballs through the rim at the same time if
placed together.  Also the rim is ten feet high from the floor, meaning you have
to make sure win shooting the ball, that the angle is higher than ten feet at
its peak so then on its decent to the basket it will have a chance to go in.  If
you don't get it higher than ten feet it has no chance to go in.
     When you start talking all these angle's and trajectories, you can begin to
understand why some people are accurate and some are not.  Shooting free-throws
is not a thing of chance or luck.  It is something that takes repetition.  To be
a good free-throw shooter you need to have a repetitive action, not something
that changes every time.  Since the conditions are predictable it is very easy
to become a good repetitive free-throw shooter.
     If you would be unsure about the correct movements, it would be beneficial
to study the movements of someone who is one of the  best at what you were
studying.  The best of our time would be Mark Price of the NBA.  He has a career
free-throw average over ninety percent, which by free-throw standards is very
good.  To give you an idea of how well that is, you need to examine the averages.
If a person was to shoot over seventy percent for the year, they would be
considered a decent free-throw shooter.  Someone over eighty percent is
considered good.  So if you are able to shoot ninety ...
