Athlete-X was trial a coach’s intervention, where findings were thoroughly discussed. It was suggested and recommended that Athlete-X do proper stretches of the lower extremities primarily the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles before and after his practice trials and the post-administered trial. The footage of his free-throws was reviewed allowing him to identify his improper flexion and extension of his lower extremities. It was recommended that he place a 2 foot stool next to him while shooting during his practice trials. It was told to Athlete-X to visualize sitting down on the stool in order to create adequate flexion and then coming up off of his toes at the release. Athlete-X should practice this tool 25 times on practice day one and two, before his post-trial is re-administered. RESULTS Figure 2. (Pre-assessed Flexion at the backswing phase). Figure 2. At the backswing phase of Athlete-X’s pre-assessed free-throw trial, the player applied minimal momentum of force into the ground by not flexing enough at the hip, knee and ankle joints. As seen here in Figure 2, Athlete-X bent at a 143° angle in the flexion stage of the backswing phase.
