This will show you a few very important aspects when it comes to structuring your shooting drills and your workouts! The tips are really simple, yet genius... once again from Don Kelbick.

It will make sure that you develop all of the necessary skills to be a complete playmaker and scorer! You will get more open shots and score more points.

And it's a great way to solve a huge headache of structuring your drills and workouts! It makes everything simple and easy.

Mastering This Will Help You Get More Shots and Score More Points

First off, it's extremely important that you start most of your shooting drills with a game-like cut.

Why?

This helps you get open and get more shots! If you can't create separation from the defense, you won't get nearly as many shots.

And in order to do this, you need to practice your game-like cuts at full speed and you really focus on...

• Setting up the cut to get the defender leaning in the wrong direction.
• Planting and changing directions as quickly as possible.
• Exploding out of the cut.
• Sprinting at full speed through the catch.
• And turning and facing the basket as quickly as possible!

This can transform your game because you will get way more scoring opportunities by mastering these skills!

You can move the ball quickly through your shot motion after the catch, like Steph Curry does, and we highly advise you do! But this means nothing unless you practice creating separation via game-like cuts and practicing footwork to quickly face the basket and prepare to shoot!

Now, here's the next dilemma. There are dozens of game-like cuts that you can practice. How do you implement them? What do you do? How do you structure your drills and workouts?

Once again, Don Kelbick has some great advice for this...

How to Easily Master Dozens of Game-Like Cuts with This Simple Approach

You don't focus on dozens of different cuts.

You just focus on the footwork used to get open. When you do this, you will start to see the similarities in footwork among all of the different cuts.

And when you master the footwork, you immediately become great at the different cuts used to get open! This greatly simplifies what you need to practice.

You will also notice that the footwork used to get open and the footwork used to quickly face the basket after the catch are almost identical!

And as Don Kelbick says, you don't learn one hundred different moves (or cuts), you learn 3 pivots and 3 counters. Then you learn how to apply these 3 pivots and 3 counters to a hundred different situations.

So if you perfect the footwork in one situation, you can apply it to all of the other situations immediately. This rapidly speeds up the learning curve!

Now, to the next step...

How to Structure Your Workouts to Master the Footwork and Become a Great Player!

Now, how do you structure your workouts to make sure you cover all of your bases. Is there a simple way to do it? There is!

To become a complete player, you don't have to practice and master all of these skills in one workout. They can be done over several workouts.

And you simply do that through emphasis days. So each workout, you pick an emphasis for 50% to 80% of your workout. Here are some examples of emphasis days.

• Guard Play - Ball screen drills, shots off the dribble, shots from dribble moves
• Post Play - Screen and roll, pivots and counter moves in post, short corner moves, high post moves, low post moves, taps, combo drills
• Screens / Cutting - L-cut series, down screen series, zipper cut series
• Fast Break - Trailer shots, shots off dribble, perimeter shots

So one workout, you might practice all of your shots, triple threat moves, dribble moves, and finishing moves out of one emphasis or situation.

Here is an example of screening and cutting day...

• Corner to wing cut > Jump shot
• Corner to wing cut > Triple threat move > One dribble > Finishing move
• Corner to wing cut > Triple threat move > One dribble > Jump shot
• Corner to wing cut > Triple threat move > Dribble move > Finishing move
• Corner to wing cut > Triple threat move > Dribble move > Jump shot

You can also do a shooting day where you incorporate a bunch of game-like cuts. But rather than practicing your moves, you simply shoot off the catch. You might do some shots off of one dribble too.

I would also advise that you incorporate cuts from your coach's offense to practice. So make sure to go to your coach and get advice too!

So with this advice and approach, you are now mastering all of the necessary skills to be great at getting open and getting more shots!!

And then go back to the genius training advice from Don Kelbick that we mentioned in a prior day. This is the 1.16 formula where you basically practice what works and what happens the most.

You can read in more detail here but here's a quick review...

Summary: 5 Keys to Designing and Structuring the Best Workouts and Drills

• Start many of your shooting drills with game-like cut.
  
  That way, you practice and master the skills of getting open. This will lead to more open shots and more scoring opportunities.
  
  
• Focus on universal footwork used to get open and practice game-like cuts.
  
  Don't try to practice every type of cut. This will make things way too complicated. Instead focus on the universal footwork skills that are used in all cuts to get open. This will immediately make you great at any type of cut!
  
  
• To create a well-rounded training approach, use emphasis days where you focus on guard play, post play, cutting and screen, fast break, and shooting.
  
  This will ensure that you cover all of the main situations for getting open and game-like cuts. It will also ensure that you sharpen all of the necessary skills to become a complete playmaker and scorer.
  
  
• Practice what happens most. 70% of your shots are taken with two or fewer dribbles. 44% of shots are taken with no dribbles.


• Focus on what is most effective. Shots with no dribbles are the most efficient shot at 1.16 PPS. Set up your workouts to take most of your shots off zero, one, or two dribbles. The more dribbles you take, the less efficient you become.

When you layer all of these concepts together, that's when you really start to see results!
