Where to look?

Where do you look when shooting a basketball (or a dart, soccer ball, or anything similar)?

If you’re like most people, a lot of time and effort goes into developing the physical shooting technique, but much less thought goes into the mindset when the shot actually happens.

Taking basketball as an example, you could look at the front of the rim, the back of the rim, or somewhere else. Similarly, you could focus on the hoop in generally, or try to focus in on a much smaller area.

Ultimately, I’m not sure what the best approach is for each situation. But I do know that it isn’t an insignificant decision.
