How can you get better at shooting a basketball quickly?

Answer 1

The main way to become a better Basketball player is by practice, practice, and more practice. Find your weakness. Make sure you most improve your weakness. Whatever you can't do well, practice on that. Try to ask someone you know what they think of your game. Ask them suggestions on how you can improve your game, and make sure they understand the game of basketball.

First off, you need to know what your weakness is. If your weakness is shooting, then you have to work harder on your shooting. If your weakness is dribbling, you need to work harder on your dribbling.

Target your weaknesses, and the only way to get better at anything is practice, practice, practice! Also, ask someone who is good at what they do to help you find and improve your weaknesses.

Also always take time out to ask coaches to help you personally and alone....the best way to get better is to work with a basketball veteran. most coaches are veterans and that make them the best available resource

After regular practice at the gym ask your coach to stay longer so you can improve your game. If you really want to become a great basketball player, dedicate yourself. Come to practice an hour early and leave practice an hour later. Play against more experienced people.. so in the game you have easier competition. And always make practice hard so the game can be easier.

Answer 2

The trick is to not play at all, because if you want to get better, it means you are not the best so give up on your dreams because they wont come true anyway

Don't listen to this guy, he is just mad because he sucks so bad he is always picked last. Now what you need to do to get better is to practice every day. Set goals, shoot free throws, and try your hardest. What helps me is to look at the back rim and if you aim for that you have a good chance of it going in. Trust me you can get better if you really put your heart into it. =)

The most important thing you need to have to be really good a basketball is a trainer that is really good. You should have at least 3-4 times a practice during 1 week for around 1-2 hours or 2-3 hours. The things you need to learn for basketball:

1-Dribbling

Dribbling takes really long to master since you have to master your left and right side of your arms. After you mastered it you already have big advantage.

2-Shot

Your shot is one of the important things you need to learn in basketball because it makes your scores. Developing your shot also takes long but not as long as your dribbling.

3-Tricks

You should learn moves that can trick the enemy and make him just stand there being owned by you.

4-Plays

Your team should know how to do plays because as you set the play that's the way on how you actually play the game. The play is the tactic or the strategy on how to win the game

5-Lay-up

When you lay-up is very important because its the other option if you are open. So you can either shoot or lay-up. But the lay-up has more chances of going inside unlike your shot there is a possibility that it will miss.

6-Dunk

Actually only for the pros or the people that can jump high. To dunk is not that hard but all you need is height and allot of muscles in your legs that make you jump high. I have tried dunking and its really fun. I´m just 5.9 ft tall (175cm).

But if you keep on practicing these things everyday or every time you have time for it you will become a good basketball player. I play always after school for fun with my classmates. I just play some games every second day of school except for Friday our school has extra practice from 3-5:30pm. We learn play,dribbling and shooting.

Practice makes perfect. Trust me. Hope you enjoy the sport.

Answer 5

It is hard to get good at basketball in 1 day. Although, some things might help do make you good. Eat a pure healthy diet containing all vitamins and minerals. Train for 5 hours altogether. Do necessary stretches and practice shooting. You should practice lay-ups, passing, shooting, dribbling with both hands and concentrating on the ball. Don't train 5 hours altogether, train at intervals. That should make you pretty fit and good at basketball.

Everyone who is good at basketball became good through one concept: practice.
