Abstract: Methods for teaching a person a neuromusculoskeletal motor pattern include attaching an optical beam-emitting device, such as a laser, to the body, defining a path on a specified surface, and causing the person to repeat a predetermined neuromusculoskeletal motor pattern while tracking the optical beam relative to the path. Such methods may be used to teach a person proper technique for shooting a basketball towards a basketball hoop. Apparatuses for teaching a person proper technique for shooting a basketball include a strap or sleeve configured to be secured to an upper arm of a person, and a battery-operated laser device attached to the strap or sleeve. Such apparatuses may be free from external cables or wires extending between the laser and any other device, and may include a sleeve having a portion configured to be positioned over a hand of the person.
