Set up your camera

Phone at hip height, about 3 metres away, filming you from the side. Keep the ball in the picture too.

Your whole body, head to feet, needs to be in the picture. The coach will remind you if it can't see you.

  2. 2Stop on a hard last dribble and pick up the ball.

  4. 4Rise straight up and release at the top.
  5. 5Hold the follow-through and land balanced.

What the coach watches for

  • Bend your knees

    You shot with straight legs. Dip your knees and push up, because the power comes from your legs.

  • Straighten your arm

    Your shooting arm didn't straighten. Reach up and finish with a straight elbow.

  • Release higher

    The release was low. Shoot up and out, high above your forehead.

  • Hold the follow-through

    You dropped your hand straight away. Hold your wrist up, fingers pointing at the rim, for a second.

  • Stay balanced

    You fell backwards as you shot. Go straight up and land where you took off.

  • More arc

    The ball came off flat. Push it up higher so it drops down into the hoop.
