Use basket practice for technique, rally for match confidence.

🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I use basket or ball machine practice effectively?
Use basket or ball machine practice to learn and polish technique, but incorporate realistic movement, recovery, and shot selection to make it applicable to match play.

What Your Guru Thinks

This sounds like a useful perspective on how you practice. The coach talks about how using a basket or ball machine is great for perfecting technique, like getting that specific angle on a vibora or bandeja. But the coach wisely points out that match situations are very different, so you shouldn't let perfect basket shots mislead you. Practicing movement, recovery, and staying within your limits during basket drills is key to making that technique translate to a real game. Rallying is also important for building confidence in match play scenarios.
