Becoming a Champion Basketball Player: Creating Open Shots and Improving at the Line

with Barry Brodzinski,
Five-Star Basketball Shooting Instructor

Coach Brodzinski has worked with some of the best shooters in the country during his time as shooting instructor at 5-Star. His expertise is on display in this DVD. The art of shooting is viewed from five different angles; getting open, using screens, the jab series, dribble moves and free throws. Each of these represents areas that players must master to become scorers. Getting open is often difficult for most players. Using the V- and L-cuts shown here, players can use skill to get open to receive the ball. Next, Brodzinski demonstrates how to effectively use the down screen, back screen and ball screen. The third area involves creating space by using the Jab Step. Highlights are the Pro Step Jab, the quick shot move, the jab and cross opposite and the Space Maker Move. Using dribble moves is another way to create shots. The cross over, inside-out dribble and the spin move are described and demonstrated. Lastly, a big emphasis is put on foul shooting. To make it realistic, foul-shooting practice must be done under duress while tired. The Combo 24 foul shooting drill combines sprinting with foul shooting. Players learn to concentrate and make important foul shots while exhausted. This DVD will assist players in becoming the best offensive players they can be!
