NEW Basketball Shooting Course & Practice Drills - Discover How to Improve Your Shooting Stroke and Become a Lights Out Shooter!
Plus Special Material for Coaches: Discover How to Develop Your Entire Team into High Percentage Shooters (Step by Step)
From: Jeff Haefner & Joe Haefner
Dear Basketball Coaches, Players, and Parents:
Is there any skill that's more important than shooting?
I think we all know that shooting is important but take a second to consider these three points:
Great basketball shooting can literally get you a college scholarship, even if you're short and slow! Countless players in the past have earned themselves scholarships, simply based on the fact that they can shoot a very high percentage from long range.
Great shooters usually get more playing time because coaches always want players that can stretch out the defense.
A very small improvement in shooting percentage can easily add another 10 points your teams score and help you win more games.
Fortunately there are many things you can do as a player and coach to get an edge on the competition. And we're about to share many of those shooting tips and secrets with you.
But before getting into the details of this new basketball shooting system, I have a few more important points that I want to convey (whether you order our new shooting system or not).
We want to share with you the...
5 Dead-Serious Truths About Basketball Shooting That ALL Coaches And Players Should Understand and Accept
FACT #1: Shooting is the #1 most important skill for basketball players to master.
FACT #2: More players have poor shooting strokes and detrimental flaws today, than they ever have in the past. This is primarily because kids start playing at such an early age and they try to mimic NBA players before they are ready. The sad truth is that these bad shooting habits stick with them.
FACT #3: Proper shooting form is the #1 most important skill for youth basketball coaches to master and teach.
FACT #4: A team with just a couple of good shooters on the floor will make your offense infinitely more dangerous and actually give your team more lay ups. Good shooters stretch out the defense and can dramatically improve your team offense.
FACT #5: A small improvement in your teams shooting percentage, will allow you to win more games. Simple math tells us that teams with high shooting percentages tend to win a lot of games.
I don't want to belabor the point... But I do want to be clear as a bell that shooting the basketball is one of the most important things for any coach or player to master.
That's why we have devoted so much attention and spent so much time developing a basketball shooting program for both coaches and players!
We have literally spent thousands of hours researching, writing, and preparing this system for you.
How This Unique System Was Developed
We have found that many of the basketball shooting DVDs, books, and programs on the market have great information. In fact, we highly recommend a few of them. But all the products seem to be missing a little something here and there. Some were complicated, some gave conflicting advice, some neglected shooting workouts, some left out advice for coaches, and so on.
So we did extensive research and gathered all the best information in ONE place. We conducted fairly extensive interviews with some of the best shooting coaches in the world. Some of these guys will blow you away. We feel lucky that they talked with us.
We have prepared this system after:
Thoroughly studying TWELVE major professional DVDs and books on shooting.
Studying TWO on-line programs on the topic.
Interviewing SIX top experts in the field.
Not to mention, we have our own 20 years of first-hand experience playing, coaching, and teaching shooting skills.
So, you can be confident in knowing that all of the information represents the best advice you could hope for on this important topic.
Some of the most exciting information came from interviewing these 6 experts in the shooting field. We wholeheartedly thank them for spending time with us and sharing their advice.
Here are the six shooting coaches that we interviewed:
Shooting Expert #1 - Dave Hopla

The shooting guide is quite good, especially for those dealing with youth, inexperienced players, or even those at the college level who need work on their fundamentals. We all deal with 'common' errors in shooting with our athletes, and this guide helps not only to identify and recognize the problem, but also provide simple avenues of correction at all levels.
I found the explanation and diagrams of the drills easy to follow. I will be incorporating many of them labeled Junior High+ into my practices at the college level. I'm VERY PICKY about the drills I use because I believe you need to incorporate conditioning along with the drills for equal success throughout the game. Everything needs to be game like once they have the proper technique. This guide provides drills that cover many 'repetition' drills as well as game situation drills, both 1/2 and full court.
I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to take the time to teach their players proper technique for shooting, and to become a better shooting team with the drills involved. I

I'm always looking for different drills/methods to accomplish a goal so the kids won't get bored doing the same thing over and over.

Still working through all the information provided, but what I have seen so far is excellent. I am a girls basketball coach at the youth level, young players require & need a great deal of fundementals teaching. Your books is a great guide to help mix up the drills and provide a great variety of teaching techniques that all of my players will be able to relate to, we will use your book all winter during the travel season.

Since I only started my practice this week, I hadn't time yet to try any of the exercises, but since there are some of them that I didn't know yet which should be easy to do even with quite young kids, I'm shure, that I shall use lots of it.

The compendium on shooting is definitely a big help to young coaches (and players, of course). It boosts their confidence in what they are trying to impart on kids who would rather imitate what they see among their idols, without realizing that their idols were started with the basics of shooting before they managed to come up with their own brand of shooting.
The books themselves are useful for their accompanying visuals, aside from the easy-to-follow instructions. What else could a coach ask for?
Thank you, Jeff and Joe. Please keep me updated!

An excellent 'no-bull' guide to shooting which has made it a lot easier to plan practice sessions. I particularly like the breakdown of technique and mental focus sections. Looking forward to more guides - passing etc.
David from Kalispell, MT says:
9/10/2008 at 5:37:34 PM
I really liked the pictures that accompanied the instruction. This helps visualize the setup or cause of a missed shot. This really helped me in communicating the corrections that were needed to make them a better shooter. I enjoyed the variety of drills that help teach players the shots to be used in games. These drills will make my team much more difficult to defend and open up more oppurtunities for each player.

I was very much impressed with the areas of concern in the shooting technique and the ways to correct the problems. I am so happy to have ordered the E-Book so I can keep it on file and go back to it often. I never heard about the techniques of coming out of a slump. I hope I never have to use it with my players, but we all know I will, but I am eager to find out if it works.

9/11/2008 at 1:08:35 PM

I use what I have learned with my daughter and her shot is coming along very well. I have her useing the individual shooting drills and I have been charting her progress. I would of never of thought of that with out the e-book. great job, thanks

Our team finished 5th in the nation last year, and I think that with a lot of hard work useing some of the material in this, we will improve our shooting. Great job on putting this togather,
Steve from Valparaiso, IN says:
9/16/2008 at 7:51:39 PM
Most of the book is quite good. There were some parts that I need to reread but for the most part, I found very little that I can't use.
The team I coached last year didn't have any confidence in their shot and it was frustrating watching some of our games. I will use many of the tips and teaching aids on them this year. Also, I'm thinking of holding a shooting camp during the offseason. I plan to use many of the techniques described in the book to make them better shooters.
Thanks for all of your help!
