Basketball Shooting Summary

Basketball Shooting by Dave Hopla

NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan put it best: You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. With Basketball Shooting as your coach, you can hit the court with confidence in your ability to make any shot from anywhere on the court.

Shooting is an art, and in this special book and DVD package, professional shooting coach Dave Hopla presents the same skills and strategies that have made him one of the world's most sought-after experts. Covering long-range three-pointers, midrange jumpers, bank shots, and free-throw shots, Coach Hopla pulls from his extensive coaching experience-which includes stops in the NBA and with multiple international squads-to help you master every element of a correct shot. In addition, you'll learn over 20 drills to help you perfect the techniques you need to hit shots from anywhere.

Before you hit the court for your next game, turn to Basketball Shooting and take your game to new heights.

Basketball Shooting Reviews

Dave is one of the all-time great shooting coaches. I continue to be amazed at his ability not only to shoot so well but also to teach others to do the same.

Jim Calhoun--Former Head Men's Basketball Coach, University of Connecticut

Dave is not only the best shooter in the universe, he is also the best shooting coach.

George Karl

I never miss an opportunity to work with Dave. He's the best in the business.

Kobe Bryant

Dave has not only helped my shooting, but he improved my overall game. He has given me the confidence in all phases of my game.

Ray Allen

He's a great motivator, man, especially when you're out there shooting the basketball. He's very positive, always going to tell you about your mechanics and what you're doing wrong. So his main thing is just consistency, doing the same thing over and over again.
