How do I improve my free throw shooting?

take all of this great advise, then fake it till you make it. The next time you go to that line you have to speak nothing but confidence into your own head. You will make this next shot. Great shooters believe that the next one is going in. Also, always remember the ones that went in. The next one will be just like it.

Thanks for all the advice so far.

Its gotten so bad that I just try to avoid free throws when in game. I pass the ball off before someone fouls me and I don't attack the ring as much as I used to.

Its really just gotten into my head. I play in a competition where stats are recorded and I dread looking at my stats seeing that I shoot 30% from the free throw line or something.

I feel that it definitely has to do with the pressure of shooting them in game and how I know in the back of my mind my percentage is being recorded.

All the advice so far is spot-on.

One more thing on the mental side: visualisation
Before you take the free throw, imagine taking the shot and the ball going through the basket.

If none of the above works, there's always Dwight Howard's online correspondence course.
They're doing a two for 1 offer at the moment where you get "David Lee Teaches Defence" for free!

This is a disgrace!

He plead not-guilty. He was found guilty.

How was he given 1 game + 1 game suspended? What and ABSOLUTE joke.

(yes I had money on perth to win the series)
