Becoming a Proficient Three Point Shooter

Become a 'proficient' three-point shooter. What would that mean? How might we achieve that? It's part of becoming a consistent overall shooter, challenging yourself in practice. 

There must be a context. To impact the game, players need skill sets that get them on the floor. To "get to" play offense, players "have to" play defense. 

Build skills.

• Shooting form
• Shooting accuracy
• Extending range 

Develop a consistent shooting warmup. 

• Get 50
• Curry range radians 

Diversify your three-point shooting. 

• Catch-and-shoot
• Side-dribble three
• Off the dribble 
• Shot fake, reset
