Swish Coaching Resources

While other skills are important, shooting is the most critical. Without shooting and scoring, all you can hope for is to stop the other team from scoring. When you can play both defense and offense you have the makings of a winner and have more fun.

Dear Tom, Our season has come to a close, and I wanted to express my thanks to you for helping us have a successful one. After purchasing your video at the start of the season, it has been an inspiration to our team to watch our progress throughout the season. Since Dale Davis plays for our local NBA team, it helped to watch his tremendous progress after your coaching and apply it to what we do on the middle school level.
— R. Harris, Middle School Coach, Greenwood, Indiana
I have been very pleased with the video and the teaching methods in it. I have seen improvement in the kids. I tried it out with the neighborhood kids first. I had to be sneaky about it though. I couldn’t push it on them so I worked with just one of the kids. They saw how he improved and soon I had a whole bunch in my family room watching the video. Just yesterday, one of them asked to borrow the video. I told him he could but I suggested he buy it. He is trying out for the local traveling team on Monday.
