Part number four is the third hash mark, you square up to the rim, same principle. I am going to triple threat, I got toe, knee, elbow, ball and you notice from this angle that the toe, knee and the shoulders are all in line. I do not want to have my shoulders back here because that will force me to shoot the ball short. I want to have toe, knee, and shoulders in a straight line. We also call this position a correct sports position. If you are hitting baseball you do not lean back like this, do you? You are here, if you are a line backer or running back in foot ball or full back, you are here, you are ready to move, in volley ball you are ready. In basketball on defense or on offense or in triple threat we want to have a good sports position, good body balance. Now we go back to this, you come in the gym, let us say you missed two or three in a row, you are having a bad day, now we are going to find out what you are made of. Are you dedicated enough to make ten for me to spot, that is what we are going to find out. So we go to this process, you start throwing the ball, you start swearing, you get mad. The benefit of this by having a goal of ten is that it works on your dedication. It enforces your concentration because you have to focus more and if you are having a bad day, the last thing it does, if you will stay with it, is it also build your determination. So from a very simple warm up drill you are getting an awful lot of good benefits.
