From school ball to AAU to summer league. Game to game to game. This is what I mean when I say you barely get better just always playing in games. Look at her form.(I hid her face because it's not her fault, the attraction to always having them playing in games is.) Elbow out, palm facing away from basket. Hand still behind the ball not underneath it, and she's pushing towards the rim, probably no arc. But how do you correct these problems if they're always playing in a fast pace game. Plus how do they work on things they need help with, going left, pull-ups drives and passing? They don't, why would they do something they're not good at and miss getting the almighty win! This is why players need training time. Drills, proper attention and evaluation, feedback and repetition. THEN take this and play in a low key league where you can try them and not worry about winning or losing. And also just as important rest. Yes rest give your athlete time off from their sport . Let them enjoy life and heal. I always say a new car with 100,000 miles is just as beat up as a old car with 100,000 miles! Play, rest, train, low key games, serious season repeat!!!
