    1. I agree, you should image that you're alone. Try not to focus on the audience or people yelling you from the other team and you should be good!

    I played tight-end in high school football and always had issues with getting the long ball over my shoulder (the lights and excitement was too much). What I did was to play more... the more you play on the "big stage" the more confidence you'll gain. Find more leagues and more games and build up that confidence. I find confidence is what makes great player great and good player good... don't confuse confidence with attitude or cockeyness, they are different and I don't welcome the latter on my teams.

    it's probably a comfort problem so you are going to have to pretend that you are at home shooting , if that doesn't work start playing basketball with random people to see if that helps bring your shot out.

    i use to have the same problem but then i found out its because your used to the enviroment at your house. If you can(this is what i did and it helped)go to different locations about every 2 days so you get used to playing in new arenas.

    1. All you need to do to prepare for an away game or just getting used to playing before crowds is change you mindset.If you can get into "the zone"you won't even hear the crowd.Being in the zone is being so totally focused that you don't hardly hear the crowd.Another thing is the tough mental approach.You can allow yourself to get a little mad when they leave you open saying to yourself.They can't leave me wide upon I will nail every wide open shot I take.Next before a game just get pumped up and remember to look forward to playing before a crowd.You have it in you to play well so go get them this year and help your team win.

    It does sound like you are rushing your shot. If you are shooting off the catch,
    make sure you are ready when you receive the ball. Feet set, etc. Then, take
    time to "gather yourself" as you catch it. Take a short breath as you prepare to shoot.
    If you are shooting off the dribble, you must get your eyes up on the backboard. There is a lot going on, but you must see your target!!
