FREE THROW ROUTINE TO IMPROVE YOUR PERCENTAGE FROM THE LINE

I was about 12 years old when I was taught how to shoot a free throw.  I was told that I needed to develop a free throw shooting routine.  I did that and to be honest my routine did help improve my free throw percentage from the line that season.

I have now tweaked that routine many times over and last season had my best ever percentage from the line at 86.9% in 27 games.  The video below gives some great tips that you probably have never thought of before.  I explain why it is better to have a short routine over a long one and I tell you the one thing that I say every time I shoot a free throw whether it is in practice or the game.

I am a huge movie buff and I love basketball movies. This is a scene from Semi-Pro where Jackie Moon shoots a free throw. It’s pretty hilarious.
