“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
- Thomas Edison
Mr. Edison's words apply to basketball as well. Practicing with a sense of purpose means that you have identified what it is you need improvement on and have formulated a plan on how to achieve the result you seek.
Too often athletes spend valuable practice time just going through the motions of casually shooting around rather than practicing for a particular scenario they will likely face in a game. You should always practice at game-like speed and take game-like shots in order to be adequately prepared once you find yourself under defensive pressure in a game.
