An apparatus is used to implement a method for training a person to accomplish
a basketball shot. A lower body positioning member is located in front of a leg
area of the person when that person is in a position to attempt the shot. When
the person so attempts the shot, the lower body positioning member restrains forward
rotation of the person's leading shin. An upper body positioning member is located
in front of a torso area of the person. When the person attempts the shot, the
upper body positioning member restrains downward rotation of the person's shooting
arm. In a repetitive process, the person is provided with a basketball and shoots
the basketball at the goal. By this repetitive process the person learns to accomplish
the shot without excessive rotation of the lower leg and upper arm.
