The Basketball Podcast: E05 with Dave Love on Teaching Shooting

RELEASE DATE : 26/09/2018

In this week’s basketball coaching conversation, we are joined by Dave Love. Coach Love has worked as an NBA shooting consultant with the Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, as well as a number of other teams and national programs. He also has conducted shooting clinics around the world for over 10 years. The podcast discusses many aspects of shooting including technique, retention, and teaching shooting to pros vs. youth players.

  • “Everyone puts in a physical effort to get better and a lot of times the missing component is the mental effort — the awareness of what you are working on and the discipline to hold yourself to it.”
  • “We need to acknowledge . . It’s okay for the player to be selfish.  It’s a selfish act to shoot the basketball.”
  • “If the ball isn’t spinning purely, that’s an indicator that they’re not connecting to the right part of the ball as they’re releasing the ball.”
  • “I’m hoping that the idea of having shooting coaches continues to grow because I think we can be pretty valuable to helping head coaches win games.”
