Mentality in games

Forum » The Attack & Counter System » Mentality in games
Hello,
Do you have any tips/drills for players who are good at making layups/shots in practices but tend to miss a lot more in game situations?It seems to be a bit of panic in game situations, not a lack of skills or practice.
Thank you!
Make it harder in practice than it will be in a game and EXPECT them to make the layup/shot anyway. For layups, it can be simple as having a coach slap some wrists or bump them all the way to getting a blocking pad from the football team. Make your practices competitive with consequences for the losers.
Use small sided games and competitive drills to help with this:
