HoopStudy™️ PHASE 3: Variability

Preparation and training led to Braylon Mullins hitting the game winner over Duke to send UConn to the Final Four.

Most players don’t shoot enough.

Here’s how to build a routine: 👇
Start with 500 makes a week.
Once the habits built, move to 750.
When 750 feels easy, push to 1,000.
Then go 1,000 to 1,250 to 2,000.

Stack days. Track makes…Watch your shooting % go up while becoming more confident overall with your game.
