Yet, in a game, they have confidence unmatched by other players. Shooters don't remember the misses, only the makes. It's not just confidence, it's cold-blooded confidence. You have to have supreme confidence in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else is going to.
Confidence comes from practice.
You can't know you're going to make it if you haven't shot it a thousand times already. In a game as a freshman, Hammon pulled up on the break and launched a 20-foot jump shot. The shot rimmed out and the rebound was passed back to her. Without hesitation, she drained a 25 footer. It's all about the percentage.
