On Tuesday, four of the Lady Bears worked with me on some basketball skills. I was taught how to shoot a free-throw, shoot a layup and dribble a ball between my legs.

Freshman Trinity Oliver worked with me on shooting a free-throw. Free-throws are attempts to score points with no obstructions from the free-throw line.

Oliver said the keys to a good free-throw are to, “line up your shooting foot with the center of the basket, a routine you do before you shoot, I spin the ball and dribble, then you set and shoot.
