Use the following videos to help with your shooting technique.   Look for things such as:
- head position
- hand position
- elbow position
- position of knees and feet
- preparation of shot (where is the ball?)
- follow through from shot (where is the hand?)

Come up with your own analogies to help with remembering what is important for the skills.
