I was a soccer player mainly(goalkeeper) and coaches mentioned this all the time on drills. Simply just catching the ball when it’s delivered right to you, hold the ball and pose. Your arms are out, your hands make a W, keep your body behind the ball, keep your body language forward. I played basketball too but mainly I was a good defensive guard and slasher. Never was a confident shooter and since it wasn’t my main sport I never worked on my offense that much outside of practice. If you’re flicking your wrist different, it’s coming off your fingers differently, your form is inconsistent, these things won’t make you a good shooter. You can probably get by if you’ve got a knack for just playing the game but these were things I noticed about myself. It’s your alignment and where your hand is positioned when you let go of the ball, did you get good rotation and arc? Maybe if you notice something you can adjust. If you want to be great you hone that thing and make sure it’s right every time, in practice and in games. Following your shot is important to some degree but watch these games and see how these girls don’t follow their shots at all, they start moving backwards on D usually. That’s what you have teammates for. Shooting and immediately following you shot is a bit outdated [/QUOTE]
