For example, shooting 10 catch and shoot threes from the corner.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0.75rem 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0.75rem 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333e45;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333e45;\">The problem with block practice is that it\u2019s less engaging.

Random practice rehearses multiple different skills in a random order. Instead of shooting 10 catch and shoot 3\u2019s in a row, alternate between mid-range jumpers and threes. Or alternate between pull up jumpers and threes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0.75rem 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0.75rem 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333e45;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333e45;\">Research on skill acquisition has shown that random practice improves retention more than block practice. That is, with random practice you&#8217;ll retain the skill you learned and be better able to execute it a day later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0.75rem 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0.75rem 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333e45;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333e45;\">So when you practice, make sure to use random practice whenever possible. When you alternate between 3\u2019s and mid-range jumpers, you\u2019ll be better prepared when you have to take those shots in a game.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vast majority of players are unaware that they have poor training&nbsp;habits.
