Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Vertical Jump and other Basketball topics.

I'm a girl who is 13 and I'm already 6' 2". I need advice, and specifically on shooting jumpshots from the paint.

Tall - But That's Not All

Sometimes younger players who mature early struggle waiting for their coordination to catch up with their height. But don't worry - with practice and confidence, your skills can catch up with your stature!

To work on your jump shot, have someone rebound for you while you practice, practice, practice! Aim for the squares on the backboard as you shoot bank shots - from one block to the other.

And be confident! If you have the desire and drive - you will get there!
