- Cary-Grove, the better Trojan team
On an old topic...not trying to re-start an argument, just passing on a story. Topic is the question as to whether or not the weight room (over) bulking up is affecting the shooting motion or effectiveness of our players.
I saw my nephew for the first time in a while as he is out of state in college. But in high school he played at Yorkville with Jason Jakstys, and I guess my in-laws know the Jakstys family a bit from the basketball relationship. Super nice family they say.
Anyway, my nephew talked to Jason about this topic, and apparently it is a thing with at least some legs. Jason is much bigger now than he was when he got here, and has developed what he feels is a hitch in his shot. His shooting numbers in practice are not what they used to be.
I'm not taking sides on the question of whether or not the physical change itself can or cannot cause shooting problems. I'm just saying that if the player thinks it does, whether true not, that is enough to make it manifest itself as a thing.
