Show the player's feet, the ball and the landing instead of cropping straight to the shooting hand. A second view can help your athlete understand the point you're coaching.
Read guideFilm the whole free-throw routine, not just the release. Keep the attempts in order so you and the player can talk about what happens between shots as well as the outcome.

Read guideKeep both partners, the approach and the finish in view. A second camera should help the instructor explain something that's hidden, without putting equipment on the working mat.
