"I’ve been shooting every day, trying to get better so I can have a consistent jump shot. I’m shooting 700, 800 shots a day."
- Derrick Rose
Although shooting a couple hundred shots (made shots) every day will definitely help improve your shooting percentage, not everybody has the motivation to do so, nor the time to do it. Therefore, if you are one of the few that are actually motivated to improving your game rather than just talking about it, then you want to make the little bit of gym time you get as productive as possible by focusing your attention on your shooting. You do that by tracking your progress with a shot notebook.
Shooting a couple of hundred shots per day can get real boring, so you have to create situations that challenge you. For instance, you should break your shots into sets of 10 and then see if you can shoot 40% or better per set (4 out of 10). Write down your score or percentage for each set so you can track your progress for the day
Improving your shot in the off-season puts you way ahead of the curve once the season starts.
