  • Pretty good👍

    I’m an 11 year old basketball player I play for “South side Dream” I think this podcast is very good and informative but I think you could improve by doing more drills for people to practice and could look at other aspects of basketball instead of just shooting. My dream is to be point guard so maybe some dribbling skills? Despite this, a very good podcast!😁

  • Hands down one of the best podcast!

    What I love the most about Coach Love’s podcast is how genuine he is and his heart to help athletes, parents, coaches!

    The information and insight on this podcast is second to none..

    As a shooting coach, I have learned so much from Coach Love and I have first hand seen every player I have worked with shoot the ball at a higher clip.. From younger players all the way to G-League and former NBA players.

    The information and process he teaches you from his online programs are invaluable.

    Thank... more

  • Love the Pod!

    While the focus of this pod is primarily on basketball shooting, Dave shares helpful coaching tools that are transferrable to coaches of other sports. Dave and Matt have great banter and they keep the flow of conversation interesting. So fun to listen to a pod where the people are passionate about what they do. This podcast gave me tips that I can apply in the classroom setting, as well as with my team. Keep it up!

  • Great, necessary pod

    Terrific show with good give and take and a unique perspective of a game we all know and love. Being such a detailed analyst of something we all do in basketball, Dave’s insights and micro-focuses make his voice and specialty so powerful. He also speaks to the mindset and development processes that really promote real results- which is applicable to everyone, even outside the game. A must-listen-to for every coach and arguably every parent of a basketball player as well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Truth About Shooting Devices
Q: I was wondering if you'd be willing to go more in depth on what is differential learning then versus this guided discovery?
Differential learning allows players to explore various techniques without specific guidance, while guided discovery provides targeted direction towards specific skills.
Is Form Shooting for Pros, Not Beginners?
Q: What is an ideal time to start working on teaching shooting so that we've not gone too far down the road of these sort of like two-handed habits?
Not before they have the physical capacity to do the thing. The ideal age mentioned is around 11 plus for starting structured shooting practice.
How I Work On Balance in a Player's Shot
Q: Are there any transferable skills from other sports that can help these guys build balance?
Absolutely, exposure to multi-sport experiences like soccer or volleyball can help build balance skills.
How I Work On Balance in a Player's Shot
Q: What are you seeing when you're watching a guy who maybe doesn't have the best balance?
Two key indicators are where their center of mass is moving through the shooting motion and where their feet finish at the end of the shot.
EuroLeague Star Kevin Pangos
Q: When you find a shooter, what aspects do you look at first?
I'm watching the ball first, checking for arc and spin, then observing their body position.
