Where Should Shooters Look After Release? Coach Nick Breaks Down the Eye-Gaze Debate

Eyes on the rim through release, that part is non negotiable for me. But what happens after the ball leaves your hand is where it gets interesting.⁣

Brianna and I get into the research on this. The majority of elite shooters actually track the ball with their eyes after release rather than staying locked on the target. That surprises people every time I bring it up.⁣

I don't teach it as a foundational piece, but it's absolutely in my bag. When a shooter is struggling and needs a different look at their own shot, letting the eyes follow the ball can give them a snapshot they wouldn't get otherwise.⁣

Lock in through release. After that, it's free game. #shorts
