Article: Shoot by yourself and really focus on your technique. Take shots from different angles around the post. Focus on the quality of the shots you are taking and not the number of shots.  Evaluate each shot and ask yourself some questions:  Did I flick my hand at the end of my shot? Did my elbows touch my ears throughout my shot? Did I bend my knees? Did I keep my arms stretched above my head? Did I release the ball above my head? It is much easier to shoot when you have no one defending you. However, this is an unlikely scenario when you are playing a game. Have a partner defend you as you practice your shooting. Practicing with a defender in front of you will simulate game pressure and teach you to shoot the ball over the defender.  Ask your partner to point out any mistakes in your technique during this drill.  This drill can help you build confidence in your shooting abilities. Your technique may suffer when you become tired.  Incorporating cardio into shooting practice will help you build endurance and stamina. Place a ball anywhere in the semicircle.  Sprint to the sideline, sprint back to the ball, pick up the ball, and then shoot. Try to get in 10 shots as fast as you can.  You will need a partner to retrieve balls for you during this drill. Your partner should place the ball in a different spot in the semi-circle each time.  Focus more on your technique as you become tired.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Shoot by yourself. Shoot with a defensive partner. Combine shooting and cardio.
Article: Myths tell a story directly, as though it were relating fact. Avoid long, wandering sentences and detailed descriptions. Don't include your own, personal opinion, and present everything as fact. This tends to make the plot move pretty quickly. In one version of the Herakles myth, the hydra is introduced, tracked down, and killed in just eight sentences. This is easiest to do by imitating the style of real myths, but you can easily use these following writing tricks to make your myth sound traditional:  Use iconic symbols. These vary between traditions, but often include the numbers 3 and 7, animals like the raven or the seal, or characters like the prince or the trapped faerie. Use the same structure for several sentences in a row. For example: "Seven days he went up into the sky, and seven days he walked down to go to Xibalbá; seven days he was transformed into a snake ...; seven days he was transformed into an eagle."  Give people a short, descriptive epithet. This is especially popular in Greek epics, which often use epithets that refer to other stories, such as "Dionysus the wolf-repeller" or "Apollo, carrier of the bay branches." People usually know they're listening to a myth even before the first couple sentences are finished. Here are some ways you can accomplish this:  Set the myth in the distant past, or a distant land. Think of all the stories you know that begin "Once upon a time," "Far, far away," or even "A long, long time ago." Describe the kind of hero people expect in myths. For instance, a youngest brother, a king, or a woodcutter are all common heroes in folk tales. For more epic myths, start with a famous hero or a goddess instead. You could start out describing the point of your story, explaining for instance that Coyote decided to steal fire to give to people. It's a more interesting story, however, if the character has a reason for behaving the way he does. Here are a few examples:  Coyote notices people shivering in winter, and they plead for a way to warm themselves. A queen ignores her suffering subjects. The gods send a plague to her daughter, and the queen must learn to help people in exchange for their assistance to cure her daughter. The middle of the myth is up to you, and there are no rules you have to follow. Keep writing the story, keeping in mind the phenomenon or moral lesson you're trying to explain. If you get stuck, move the story along with one of the following:  Introduce a new character. This can be a god, a spirit, a talking animal, or an elder. The character might describe the next challenge to come and how to overcome it, or give the hero a magical item that he can use later. Create a new challenge. Just when everything is looking good again, have the hero make a mistake, or send a monster to undo the hero's good work. This is useful if you want the story to go on longer. Continue writing until you've finished your explanation, or until the hero has defeated all the challenges and learned her lesson. Often, a myth ends with a sentence explaining why the story is related to the present day. Here are some invented examples:  "And that's why the sun gets hotter and bright every summer." "And ever since then, people brush their teeth to a shine every night, so the tooth-stealing goblins are scared by their own hideous reflection." Once you think your myth is almost finished, read it aloud to yourself or to a friend. Some phrases might sound better on paper than they do out loud, and myths are usually written to be shared as a spoken story. Go through it and correct spelling and grammar mistakes as well, then have a friend take a second look in case you missed something.

Write in simple, straightforward language. Write in mythological style. Introduce the setting and main character. Create a reason for the main character to do something. Continue the story. Finish the myth. Read it aloud while editing.
