[Music Playing] Fundamental number five, the five spot warm up drill. The reality is most players when they pick up a ball the first time every day, in fact, most of you did this today. They pick up the ball, they come out here. They dribble around the first time, they come out to the three or the foul line and their first shot is like that, and maybe it goes in and maybe it does not. And the negative thing about the whole process is that you have parts in your body called muscles joints, ligaments, tendons, tissues that are tight and that they are contracted. You have been sleeping all night, you have been really run up and down yet. So, the first shot you put up from here or from the three is this tight. Your muscles just boom, trying to get it off. Not only are you not warming up properly. But you are also changing the habits of good shooting mechanics. So we are going to introduce to you what we call a five spot warm up drill. We call it five spots because you warm up from five different positions. [Music Playing]
