Andre Drummond has drastically improved his free throw efficiency. The big man recently opened up about his turnaround, saying he “simplified it and stopped listening to a bunch of people.”
The Power of Keeping It Simple
This wasn’t some crazy new technique or a total overhaul from a guru. Nah, Drummond’s secret was pure repetition and developing a short memory. He said it himself, the key was “just shooting the same shot over and over again and not worrying about the results.” It sounds almost too easy, right? But sometimes the simplest answer is the one staring us in the face.
Breaking the Frustration Cycle
Think about it, how many times have we seen guys struggle at the line, right? Drummond admitted he used to be there too. “Sometimes, in the past, I would get frustrated if I miss, and I would try to overcorrect,” he explained. That’s a classic trap, and it always leads to a “domino effect and more and more misses,” getting him “frustrated and… out of whack.” Ditching that mental spiral is a massive win. This kind of mental discipline is huge. Ditching the overthinking and sticking to the fundamentals? That’s how you unlock consistent performance. It’s a big deal for his game, and it’ll be awesome to see him continue to build on this.
