In this post, I will be looking at a post by My Basketball Teacher on the funademntal principles he believes that go with shooting the basketball. In his post, he likes to use what a lot of basketball trainers follow which is BEEF. BEEF stands for balance, eyes, elbow, and follow through. In terms, of balance I like how he explains that the shot starts from the ground up. If you are off balance on your feet, you will never be able to get the shot on line. The next part of BEEF is getting the eyes on your target which would be the rim. In his post he explains how he likes for his players to aim for the part of the rim that is in between the front and the back. I myself would tell me players its all preference. Whatever gets you to lock into your shot as long as it is some point on the rim, I do not care if it is the front, the middle, or the back. The next section refers to keep the elbow in. My Basketball Teacher explains to keep the elbow tucked into the side of the body so it is not too far out or in. Now, everyone shoots it a little different, but if you are just getting started with the game this is the best way to have the most consistent shot for the future. The final part is the follow through which is all about flicking the wrist. My Basketball Teacher says that some errors people make on their follow through is not holding it long enough, letting the follow through drift to the side, and not getting that follow through enough causing a flat shot. All of these things are crucial to fix if you want to make sure you can have an effective and long term shooting success. My Basketball Teacher has a lot of great points and lessons throughout his blog. If you want to read more of his posts, the link to his blog will be below.
