Basketball: Mirrow/Window Self Coaching

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...

Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Use a mirror or window to look at your form and technique.

Whether it is passing, shooting or dribbling.

COACHING POINTS

The feedback you get from seeing yourself is unbelievable. A lot of mistakes players make, they don't realise they are doing because it is a habit. The only way to change is to see what you are doing wrong.
