Shooting is the most important fundamental skill in basketball, but despite being the skill players are the most willing to practice, shooting technique is perhaps the least-taught fundamental of the game. In addition, there are very few instructional basketball books dedicated exclusively to shooting. Shoot Like the Pros is perhaps the most detailed analysis of shooting mechanics, covering every aspect of shooting, ever published. Divided into seven sections, it covers shooting mechanics, the mental aspects of shooting, free throws, game situations, strength and conditioning, teaching methods, and finally workout drills for advanced levels. Including tips from some of the NBA's biggest stars, this is a book that will give both players and coaches at all levels proper direction on how to improve shooting technique.
After the success of SHOOT LIKE THE PROS: The Road to a Successful Shooting Technique, described as “the best book on shooting that I have ever read” by Phil Jackson, Charlotte Hornets Director of Global Scouting Adam Filippi presents his new book: Mastering the Art of Free Throw Shooting.
This is the first instructional book ever written to address, in depth, the most unique and complicated shot in the game of basketball: the free throw. Filippi guides both players and coaches through all aspects of the shot in order to understand what it takes to become a master free throw shooter.
Mastering the Art of Free Throw Shooting covers the shooting concepts and techniques Adam has developed and adopted through years of research, observation, analysis, experimentation and practice. The book includes historical facts, proper mechanics, shooting rhythm, the mental approach, free throw routine, teaching methods, drills and more. In addition, Euroleague legend Carlton Myers is featured in the book’s instructional photographs.
