Page 9 - Zhaire Summer Plan Final
P. 9
Zhaire’s shot is a little flat in my opinion. However, this is not something I would try to change without making sure everyone is on the same page. His release point is low and his shot lacks arch. Once he gets the ball to his release point, he pushes the ball forward instead of an upward movement.
Something else to look at is Zhaire’s jumping/bending mechanics. His knees go forward too much once he bends. I believe it hurts his shot because it puts him off balance. More importantly, it puts all the pressure on his knees which could lead to knee pain or even injuries. This is something I would bring up to the strength and conditioning staff as well as the trainer. It can be corrected if everyone feels like it would be in Zhaire’s best interest long term.
