180-Degree Hop into Jump Shot

Start facing completely away from the rim. Perform an explosive 180-degree hop to turn around, stick the landing on the forefeet with strong core engagement, and rise into the jump shot. Key points: - Brace core tightly to resist rocking back onto your heels - Land on the balls of the feet with knees bent to absorb rotation - Elevate straight up without leaning or drifting backward Common mistakes: Rocking back onto the heels upon landing, causing a fading or off-balance shot.
