Re: Finding solutions: Mike Dunleavy's perimeter shot
Exactly, but there is also a reason to why pure shooting is normally left out..
This happens especially when you are young or just started playing basketball and plan to continue. Because as a basketball player you will notice one day that you must chose on what part of the game you want to specalise yourself on... the reason to that is simple, because everything takes time! Especially if you want to be tremendeously good at everything.... its impossible, you wouldnt have any life so to speak. You would be in the Gym from morning to night... even if you do that its impossible, because the body cant handle all that.. unless you are superman!
Thats how it goes, you chose something to specalise yourself on... and there are rules to. For example, you must adjust a special body frame.
Example: You are a 6 foot PG, you want to be a pure shooter who can pass... but at the same time you want to have tremendous speed, strength and you want to be able to dunk. Thats impossible, because when you do the athletic drills required to have speed/athleticism/that huge leaping ability for a short guy (lift weights, run, plyometrics) you will find yourself having a tough time heaving up the required jumpers and doing the required drills to become a Pure Shooter... so you turn DOWN the tempo and even jump over some Drills and Cut down time of some Drills of either the Shooting or Athleticism... to have the energy enough to do both! If you do that you will end up as an either good or mediocre All Around Player (depends on how good you worked), but you WONT be that 100% PURE Shooter you wanted to be and you wont reach 100% of your capability when talking about speed, quickness, strength, passing, defense and so on...
Ofcourse, a good Coach tells you all this how it works from beginning so you dont do a mistake... then its simple:
If you want to be the best Shooter you can possibly be, then some of the rules are, when talking about body frame: (according to what my coach told me)
****lift weights only sometime in purpose to build the right muscles for the required shooting mechanic (for the whole shooting procedure, legs, shoulders, arms, biceps, triceps).
****be carefull with building muscles, not because it disturbs your shooting accuracy but simply because it disturbs the required shooting drills you need to do, it has to do with exhaustion/exertion to the muscles and to yourself, the thing called Acid in the muscles (not sure how you say it in english!). Plus, the time you are spending building muscles, you could be spending that time shooting instead!
You will end up with a frame and game style of similar to Reggie / Rip Hamilton normally if you are a 6´2" - 6"7" Shooting Guard.....
You will end up with a frame and game style of similar to Bird / Nowitzki normally if you are a 6´8" - 7´0"+ Forward / Center
You will end up with a frame and game style of similar to Steve Nash normally if you are a 6 footer point guard...
And every position you are playing give different results, the training schedule is also built after your requests after your position when you are playing in a pro league....
Oh yeah, and the reason to why pure shooting is normally left out is because (probably 80% of all basketballplayers) would rather be strong, quick, fast, powerfull, have big muscles, be super athletic, have super ballhandling skills and so on.... you can have those skills as a 100% Shooter aswell, but not as good, not up to your full potential so to say and vice versa if you pick all those athletic stuff instead of 100% Pure shooting! You can be safe when saying "To be the best shooter you can ever be, you must sacrifice".
One more thing, a Coach ALWAYS wants his players to be good All Round players, he makes everybody know that by strongly recommending this and they even build a training schedule of this, all around skills training, thats good... but not if you want be the best that you can be at shooting for example.
PS: This is a little bit OT maybe, couldnt help it.. sorry
