In this warm up shooting progression, NBA Shooting Coach John Townsend demonstrates a great way to specifically warm up for distance shooting.

In this progression, John focuses on 3 drills:

1. High Start
2. High Quick
3. High Quick / Regular Alternate

As John emphasizes, a big part of this warm up is your hand placement and establishing a solid base to ultimately incorporate into game situations.
