KIOKOP Recovery Guide
Recording Makes Without Hiding the Shots You Missed
Record makes and attempts together, label the shooting situation, and keep misses in the record so a practice score stays useful.
Quick summary
- Keep the denominator with every made-shot total.
- Separate different locations and shot types.
- Use results to choose a practice question, not to judge every session.

A made-shot total hides the size of the task
Finishing a session with a certain number of makes can be a motivating challenge, but it does not show how many attempts were needed. Two sessions ending with 20 makes might involve very different amounts of shooting. If you record only the successful shots, you lose the information needed to compare the same task across visits.
A useful record also names the shot. Catch-and-shoot attempts from one spot are not identical to off-dribble shots from several distances. Keep the definition clear before interpreting a percentage or deciding that a larger total means better practice.
Record the whole block without rewriting it
Choose the shooting situation, location, and method of receiving the ball. Decide whether the block ends after a set number of attempts or another planned limit. Both can be used, but label them clearly. Keep the session within the practice plan instead of extending it indefinitely to reach a satisfying result.
Count every attempt included in the agreed task. If an interruption or unsuitable pass makes an attempt a different situation, use a consistent note rather than deleting every inconvenient miss. A partner can tally while rebounding, or you can record a short block immediately afterward. Keep counting simple enough that it does not distract from the shot itself.
Write makes over attempts, then add one useful context note: location, pass type, or a coaching cue. Avoid treating a small sample as a verdict on your ability. FIBA’s practice resources emphasize defined activities and review; the record should help identify what to practice next. Compare like with like over repeated sessions, and keep game shooting separate from an unopposed practice block.
Twenty makes can mean different things
For arithmetic only, 20 makes from 40 attempts is 50 percent, while 20 from 60 is about 33 percent. Both entries contain the same made-shot total, but the complete record shows a different result. If one block was close to the basket and the other was off the dribble farther away, even those percentages are not directly comparable. The next useful step is to repeat a clearly defined task or discuss it with a coach, rather than hiding the misses or changing the drill until the number looks better.
Put the useful number away after practice
A complete shooting record can be short: one fraction and a description of the task. After leaving the court, optional seated care can follow with KIOKOP PRO’s six-chamber air compression across the legs. Fit the boots, connect the hoses, choose settings, and start through the separate controller. The full-leg setup runs without continual manual rolling while you remain awake and stationary. Once the practice note is saved, there is no need to keep recalculating it throughout the care period.
Frequently asked questions
Is a make-based shooting challenge a bad idea?
Not necessarily. Keep the attempts as well as the makes and decide on appropriate session limits beforehand. The challenge can be enjoyable while the complete record still shows what happened. Do not discard misses simply to produce a cleaner-looking statistic.
