Bornwinner basketball shooting tips: How to get out a shooting slump?  Shooting slumps are something all players encounter and have to deal with every season.They can be confusing, break your confidence and, at times, may seem never ending. I will give you some things NOT to do to get you out of your slump. First, don’t over-analyze. Shooting is largely mental and you don’t want to put yourself into “analysis – paralysis.” That is when you examine yourself so closely that you that you do more damage to your yourself and can’t perform the skill you are trying to examine. Next, everyone will have ideas of what to do. Don’t listen to them. Everyone sees things differently. As well meaning as they might be, you will get different ideas from everyone and their suggestions will only confuse you more. Don’t start chasing or creating shots that aren’t there or attempt to do things you are not good at and above all, don’t doubt yourself. Stick to your age plan your routine is what is going to carry you through rough times. That’s why I cant stress the fact fact enough about staying committed and consistent because it will carry your confidence through hard times. Ive seen far too many players put themselves in a shooting slump because they overreacted over one bas shooting performance.
