Systems, methods, and devices for providing mental training during a basketball practice session are provided. A controller receives indication of user selection of a decision mode for the basketball practice session. Before and/or while each basketball passed by a launching device of a basketball passing machine for the basketball practice session, and in accordance with a library of basketball shooting moves and associated codes for the basketball practice session, the controller causes display of one of the associated codes at an electronic display. In this way, the user must recall the move associated with the code.

Basketball training device with mental training feature(s), related systems and methods

Systems, methods, and devices for providing mental training during a basketball practice session are provided. A controller commands a basketball passing machine to pass basketballs as part of a basketball practice session. Before and/or while each of the basketballs are passed by the launching device, the controller causes a respective code to be displayed at the electronic display for a player to see and recall an associated basketball move to be performed. Before and/or while the code is displayed, the controller starts a timer. If a detector records a made basketball shot after the timer reaches a predetermined threshold, the player is notified and any made basketball shots detected thereafter are disregarded, thereby forcing the player to timely recall and perform the basketball move before attempting a shot.
