Introduction

Welcome to a journey that extends beyond the conventional boundaries of basketball shooting coaching. My name is Dave Love, and as an NBA shooting coach with extensive experience with top-tier teams and players, I've designed this course to not only share effective shooting habits and drills but to dive deeper into the nuanced world of professional shooting coaching.

Many hold the perception that teaching basketball shooting is primarily about imparting the ideal habits and corresponding drills. While these elements are crucial, true mastery in coaching involves a broader spectrum. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the myriad ideas and practices that shape the profession at the highest levels.

The real art of coaching shooting lies in finding balance—a theme we will revisit throughout this program. It’s about balancing the comfort of familiar positions with the challenge of adopting more optimal yet initially uncomfortable ones. It’s about encouraging players to perfect their movements while also preparing them to navigate the unpredictable scenarios the game throws at them. And it’s about maintaining simplicity in learning processes while pushing players to apply these skills in complex game situations.

This course is structured to provide both players and coaches with a deeper understanding of these balances and equip them with innovative tools and strategies to achieve them. Whether or not you aspire to coach at a professional level, understanding these complex dynamics will enhance your approach and effectiveness, offering new perspectives and techniques you can incorporate into your development pathways.

Embrace this opportunity to expand your coaching toolkit and deepen your understanding of what it takes to develop shooting skills that stand up to the challenges of high-level basketball.
