In this warm up shooting progression, NBA Shooting Coach John Townsend demonstrates a great way to specifically warm up for distance shooting.
You can watch John’s first “Basic Warm Up Progression” here.
For the full distance warm up, check out the breakdown below:
In this progression, John focuses on 3 drills:
- High Start
- High Quick
- High Quick / Regular Alternate
As John emphasizes, a big part of this warm up is your hand placement and establishing a solid base to ultimately incorporate into game situations.
Whether you’re working with a Dr. Dish or not, this is a great progression to try out before starting your shooting workout.
