Message: [QUOTE="D J B, post: 4092594, member: 11270"] Interesting, that. There's no way to practice your way out of nerves, elevated heart rate or lack of focus. Yoga, meditation or a year's sabbatical in Tibet might help. Fatigue is a different animal with a different regimen approach. And it isn't about shooting 100 in a row as a skill. It's about shooting ANY amount in practice on a regular basis. There's a certain amount of muscle memory involved, and repetition is key. I'll bet that it's generally hard to find anyone who actually practices free throws. And I'm not surprised about the men's stats. If you can improve your points per game average by making an additional 2 or 4 free throws per game, you can increase your $$ worth. It really is worth practicing. [/QUOTE]
