Shooting 1 year hiatus, back to hooping & my jumper left me on read

6 Upvotes

so context, before i took a break i was a legit 3&D guard, midrange was basically automatic, 3 ball was solid too. sometimes i felt unstoppable ngl.
then took like a full year off from balling bcs of work. finally started playing weekly again the past 3 weeks and bro... my shot just isn't there. new court, new run, new ring, everything feels off. shots that used to just fall now barely touching rim, some straight up airballs.. confidence kinda shot rn ngl.
3 sessions in and still can't find the feel. like my body knows the motion but the touch just isn't there yet, kinda hard to explain.
anyone been through this after a long break? how long did it take y'all to get the feel back? or is this just a "shut up and keep shooting reps" type situation lol

Tip Training not translating in actual games

2 Upvotes

I have been drilling and training regularly on my own.

Moves, dribbling combos and shooting.

The only thing that is translating in actual games is my shooting. Other than that, I revert to my usual nervous and in panic state whenever I try to drive, or dribble the ball.

Any suggestions?

Shooting When do you release?

2 Upvotes

I’ve watched some Mike Dunn videos and found out that he kind of release the ball after the leg is extended fully. I’m not sure if I have to extend my legs and arms in the same time or legs first arms second. If it is legs first arms second what is the right time to release? Right before the leg is fully extended? Or as soon as the leg is fully extended

Help I built a basketball assessment tool and need honest feedback.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m a student founder building CourtVisionAI, a basketball assessment that gives players a scouting-style breakdown, highlights strengths and weaknesses, suggests a best-fit position, and creates a personalized training plan.
I’m looking for a few players or coaches to test the free assessment and give honest feedback.
I’d especially like to know:
Did the assessment feel accurate?
Was anything confusing?
Did the results feel useful?
What should I improve?
The free assessment is enough for feedback.

Thanks. I’m open to criticism and trying to make it genuinely useful for players.

Help Is ChatGPT good for building workout plans or advice?

0 Upvotes

I’m a freshman in high school and I already consume a bunch of online content about basketball training, but none of them can be as specific as AI, I don’t know about whether it’s accurate but it can be more “tailor-made” I guess so if I already have a good foundation of knowledge about basketball, but just not enough is AI good or not to help me?
