    About this series

    This is a story which can help you become a 90% or better Free Throw Shooter using my method which I call "The Net Technique." The first time I tried shooting with this method my percentage was 86% which meant I had a 15% better average than in my High School days. I'm now shooting 97%. With 3 simple steps you too can expect to dramatically improve your Free Throw Shooting.

    I invite you to come along in my journey in which I developed this technique and see how my love of Basketball as a boy eventually led me to shooting 97% at 73 years young. Success in achieving any long term objective is often built upon many set backs and failures, I have found that to be true whether it is in sports or life in general.

    After my back surgery in 2005 I could have condemned myself to the chair so to speak, a rocker or wheel chair, that is, but instead of focusing on the pain and the frustration of rehab, I focused on an annoyance I could do something about, a pet peeve of mine for years -poor Free Throw shooting in the sport I loved and played as a kid- Basketball.

    Focusing on doing something, rather on the restrictions on me doing anything, had a remarkable therapeutic effect, and so I hope the readers of this book benefit from the 'underlining' lesson of this book, persistence in the face of adversity, as well learning how to sink over 90% of their Free Throws in life.
