I was viewing one of my taped games recently and noticed several things to work on (Hi, Rainmaker!),

One thing that kinda bothered me: I noticed that when I had a 3 pt shot high on the arc when at trail--I had all the appropriate mechanics and coverage properly applied. Or so I thought. I noted shooter behind line, preliminary 3 pt signal at 45 degree angle, stayed with shooter til he came down and caught at last moment whether shot went in or not.

But--I noticed I was not dropping down to help with the back-side rebounding action like I normally do on other shots when at trail. I kinds froze out there leaving my partner to handle any subsequent action on the rebounding.

Found that a bit interesting. Had never noticed I was doing that before.

Anyone else caught themselves doing the same thing? I've had 2-3 games since and that has been one of the things I've included in things to work on.

Now I begin to move towards the free-throw line extended as I continue to view shooter & defender.

We can learn from watching ourselves no matter how long we've been doing this. It can be easy to get into bad habits.

It had been a while since I had seen film of myself. So, with all the reminders from Rainmaker, I started again.
