Differential Learning For ELITE Shooters
What's up Skool Fam! Have a few minutes in between our 8th and 9th high-level workout of the day lol... Wanted to make a post about how we've been utilizing DL (Differential Learning) in our shooting workouts Some of the player's we work with easily make 80-90/100 spot shots. So it's my job to challenge them and find ways to make them miss (I like to get them to the 35-45% range in workouts. Some DL strategies we've deployed are: 1. Bad Passes (high and low, no seams, timing) 2. Different stances (Feet wide, Feet tight, lunge position, funky feet) 3. Visual Constraints (one eye closed) 4. Different basketballs (sizes, leagues, NBA vs. Europe) 5. Varied Footwork (Hop, 1,2, 1 dribble 4 steps) 6. Release Speed (Quick vs. normal vs. delayed) 7. Distance Calibration (Close, Mid-Range, Three, 40 Feet) 8. Sensory Noises (Audio Cues, Loud Music) 9. Balance/Contact These are some of the strategies we've been implementing and seen crazyyy results What are your thoughts? At what point is DL "Doing too much"? How often would you have a shooting workout be primarily Differential Learning vs. Traditional?
