    Repetition is your best friend. You should try to create good habits and attain stability through your legs, as a lot of the jump shot comes through them. Make sure you're stable and balanced in the legs.

    Everybody has different things they focus on, as there are different types of jump shots. Do whatever you can to understand your game and understand what you bring to the team. And then try to do that in repetition in practice to bring that into the game.

    Practice your form at a distance in which you can make the basket, then take a step back for every basket made, and a step forward for every basket missed, until you are at half court.

    Because then it’s a one-motion jump, which will give you more power, fluidity, and arc, and make it more accurate.

    You would shoot a regular jumper, but put more force into it (bending knees more/loading arms).
