  • Cognitive 

  • Basic

  • Gross

  • Closed


Though I had played basketball before, I never really took the time to learn how to properly do a freethrow. I had knowledge of how it should look and feel, but had never done it before.

This resulted in very inconsistent aim. In order to fix this, I tried a whole part whole exercise. I isolated my throwing arm to focus on the right arm action of the skill, perfecting it so then I could later integrate it into the whole skill. This didn't work very well as I found that when using only one arm, my aim was even worse than with both. Despite this, I did notice improvements in my aim when performing the whole skill after this practice.

In order to fix this, I tried another whole part whole exercise, where I focused on my arc by throwing up against the wall, making sure to follow through and get the ball as high as possible. I also tried to actively squat lower, so I had more power to get the ball up. This was definitely the most effective practice because it was a simpler way for me to learn how to arc the ball, which could later be integrated into the whole skill.

Though there isn't video evidence of me making the shot, I did become much more consistent in the last lesson. Whilst I still had problems with aiming the ball, my technique has greatly improved, and errors only occur sometimes, as opposed to frequently, like before. Sometimes I’ll accidentally jump over the line, or hit the ball against the rim, but overall, my skill has improved.
