On Free Throws, shoot either between inhale and exhale, or after exhale. Get a tempo in your breath that allows for moments of intention.

Foul Lane Help From Teammates
Encourage the free throw shooter before and after every shot. Each shot is brand new. If you miss the first shot, the next is your “comeback” shot.
