Skill analysis
Judging by this video this person is more likely an intermediate or expert basketball player. I can tell this on his shot because he has a good rhythem when shooting and his follow throw is very good. His shot was very smooth and under control. No jerkiness was seen. The only thing i might change about his shot is to tell him to slow down a little bit. His motion was really quick, even though it was still very good. He could benefit by slowing down on the free throw line to make his shot more consistent and help him in games when he is more physically tired. My coaching cue would be to slow down and take a deep breathe before you start your free throw shot.
