Follow-Through

Now, I think I know what you're talking about with the follow-through, but people are going to ask: Why does what you do after you have released the ball affect whether or not it goes in the basket?

Focusing on the finish, and what you're doing after the shot, forces you to complete the proper mechanics when the ball is in your hands. Common shooting flaws include letting the ball release before your arm is fully extended, "pulling the string," walking away at the end of the shot, or not balancing yourself. If you're intent on a good, solid, end of your shot, those things take care of themselves. It makes you attentive to start and middle.

"If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this." - C.S. Lewis

"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." - C.S. Lewis

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33
