HOW DO I IMPROVE MUSCLE MEMORY???? (specifically for shooting in basketball)?

Question

Can anyone tell me ways to improve muscle memory. like some kind of excercises i can do and things i can eat. i need it specifically for basketball because lately my jumpshot has completely left me and i need to kno how to get it back. ive tried for years for repition to improve it but its always the same result. my jumpshot stays good and consistent for a while and then leaves me for even longer. what do i do???

i have been lifting weights for a long time "elits1986." im strong as hell already.

Answer 1

Keep shooting the ball and get a lot of repetitions. You said you are doing this and you have your shot for a while then it leaves you. I think what you are doing is you are thinking about it too much. You think your shot will leave you so it does. When you are not practicing your shot use visualization to see yourself shooting the ball and it going through the hoop. I powerlift and we visualize lifting heavy weights all the time and then execute the lift on the platform in a meet. Good luck.

This is a fairly easily fixable problem, Number 1) tape yourself shooting or have someone with good knowledge of basketball watch you shooting for around 20 minutes with shots from all around this can find great flaws in areas like a smooth total body shot not just smooth elbow movement Number 2) shoot around the court for around 5 minutes then practice game situation shots by running and shooting off of one foot or doing a move and then quickly shooting also do fade aways this will help your game situation shooting Number 3) try switching the place that you shoot at like going to a different court and practicing for a couple hours and also try using a different ball Number 4) Practice at the same time (if possible every day) and for around the same amount of time doing consistently the same shots around the court Number 5) Relax during shooting time and mix it up try doing post moves for fun or really long shots just to see if you can make them and don't think that you will always have these slumps if you do this and have fun during shooting sessions your shot will have a constant improvement

It's 6:22pm in New York City. A man in a black tux frantically asks the cop on the corner, "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" The policeman patiently answers, "Practice, practice, practice."

You're already doing that. Now, find some good coaches and get them to watch you. Pay attention to what's happening in your life when it's good, and especially when it turns bad. Are you eating or drinking or sleeping differently? Caffeine? A relationship change? Do you practice the shots under different conditions?

Also, try asking this in a sports-related section instead of science.
