A short YouTube monologue by Ethan Khoza arguing that developing shooting ability is analogous to lifting weights: both are skills that require progressively increasing challenge (progressive overload) to force adaptation. If you repeat the same easy task (same weight or same shooting practice) you plateau and stop improving.

This might sound crazy, but I want you to listen what I'm about to say and hear me out. Shooting is the exact same thing as lifting weights. Now, I know that might not make any sense, but let me lay this out for you. Let's say you want to go and get stronger. So you walk into the gym and you just start bench pressing. We'll say £100. And you do that. And at first it's really, really difficult, but eventually becomes easy. Well, if you never increase that weight, you just stayed £100, eventually you're going to stop getting stronger, and you're really just wasting your time in the gym. Building strength is a skill, just like building your ability to shoot the ball is a skill. So just like, in order to get stronger, we have to increase the challenge or the weight. If you want to get better at shooting, we. To increase the challenge so that we're forced to adapt and become better to meet the new demand that we're giving ourselves.
