#1 Key to Being an Elite Shooter is Footwork

The best shooters in the game of basketball all have something in common - their footwork. The consistency of your footwork will directly impact the consistency of your ability to get open, and make shots. In this video, we take a look at the 3 main areas in shooting footwork that are most essential.
Shooting off the Catch - 0:22
Shooting on the Move - 1:59
Shooting off the Dribble - 5:21
Footwork is something that young athletes can start to develop as young as 7-8 years old, and can have a MASSIVE impact on their development as they get older. Age, gender, and talent level doesn't negate this being the only correct way to develop your footwork. If you are watching this video for personal use, commit to learning this footwork and you will never regret it. If you're a coach or a trainer, this is an area that you can't let go unchecked if it's being done incorrectly.

The moment you suggested all great athletes have the same footwork made my day, you have no idea how many details you missed that is why you so blatantly say it.

stumbled on this video randomly but it's just what I needed. I felt like my footwork on the move was messing up my jumper so this helps a ton!

i find the full turn easier because my inside foot is the left one so the foot work is pretty much the same than with the catch and shoot

[@ericjohannsen6307]

Good video but over-simplified. For a righty curling over his left shoulder, using a 1-2 gets L-R footwork, but a hop may be better at squaring up on the full turn, or easier than a 1-2 on a catch when the inside foot is already down. Curling over the right shoulder, it's not as far to square up so a 1-2 can be used, but it's not L-R footwork so a hop may be preferred, can then get to a left pivot foot (Steph Curry). On a pop or baseline cut, a hop is used less than a reverse hop or, on one side, a reverse pivot into a 1-2 (L-R for a righty).

I have a group of 8th grade girls. We started them all with hop shot progressions last year, which was a departure from the 1-2 step footwork we thought them from 5th grade. They seemed to learn it faster and be more consistent with the hop than the 1-2 as the season progressed. Also, none of my girls are strong enough to catch a ball going away from the hoop turn 180 degrees and shoot it with any accuracy with any footwork. On a dribble pull up they can easily do it off the hop, but really struggle getting the rhythm of the 1-2. All shooters should probably learn both footwork. At what stage of development are you suggesting adding the hop?

[@BBond46813]

So, i shoot right handed. I'm a sub-par to decent shooter, but something i do that's always been considered weird, i plant my left foot and bring up my right, is that as bad as some people say? Is that why I'm sub-par

[@davidliu954]

this is basics and but isnt what would seperate 30% shooters vs 50%. who doesnt shoot with this footwork?
